Retro Polymer: HK’s VP70Z, GLOCK’s P80, & IM Metal’s HS2000

March 6, 2025July 26, 2021 by Luis Valdes

I still remember coming of age as a shooter when the polymer revolution happened. I went from shooting K-Frame S&W Revolvers and Beretta Wonder-Nines to those crazy Austrian Polymer Pistols that everyone thought wouldn’t catch on. It really was an interesting time as the polymer gun did, in fact, catch on. But GLOCK wasn’t the … Read more

Gun Review: Glock Gen4 Comparison (G17, G19, G26)

March 6, 2025February 2, 2021 by Ryan Finn

I’ve joined the dark side. I’ve ditched my 1911 for a Glock 19. Since then, I’ve developed a disdain for anything that deviates from that level of perfection, from pasta to pistols. Don’t judge me; I’m going to meetings for it. It’s so bad that I’ve been scornfully wondering why Gaston Glock’s handgun makers would … Read more

GLOCK 17 vs GLOCK 19: Picking A Plastic Pistol

March 6, 2025January 29, 2021 by Sam Hoober

If you want a GLOCK 9mm, but don’t want one that’s too small (like the G26 or G43) nor too big (like the G34) then the GLOCK 17 vs GLOCK 19 are your choices. And yes, lots of people — both new shooters and experienced gun owners — wonder which pistol they should buy, which leads … Read more

Gun Review: CZ P-10 C

December 15, 2016 by Jeremy S.

“Improving on Perfection” CZ-USA boldly proclaims, promoting their new P-10 C. I’m sure CZ’s lawyers would swear that the slogan is all about making their guns better. Clearly, it’s a shot over GLOCK’s bow. A claim that begs us to nitpick the heck out of this gun. Game on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESh3wW9rc5I Nestled in the CZ’s lockable plastic box: small, medium, and large backstraps, two 15-round … Read more

Gear Review: Lone Wolf Alpha Wolf Threaded GLOCK Barrel

June 27, 2016 by Jeremy S.

Lone Wolf has been the #1 name in aftermarket GLOCK accessories, at least based on sales volume, for many years. While they’ve earned a solid reputation for decent quality at extremely competitive prices, they’re now looking to capture another segment of the market; buyers wanting even higher quality parts that are made in the United … Read more

Gun Review: GLOCK G19 GEN4 MOS & G17 GEN4 MOS

January 19, 2016 by Jeremy S.

GLOCK released their MOS, or Modular Optic System, line of pistols a year ago. With the ability to mount a variety of reflex-style red dot optics to the slide, the GEN4 MOS offerings kicked off with big guns suitable for hunting and competition: the G40, G41, G34, and G35. Building on that success and much to the surprise of, well, nobody, GLOCK has given the MOS touch to two of their most popular pistols, the G19 and the G17. I promised Gaston’s gang that I could keep a secret and got my hands on these guys in early December, immediately turning the G19 into my EDC. . .

Swiss Special Forces Ditch Their SIGs for Glocks

July 20, 2011 by Ryan Finn

The Swiss Army has announced (via Glock) that their Special Forces will no longer be carrying the SIG P220 or SIG Pro pistols. Following an evaluation process involving three independent elements of the Swiss Army, the mountain nation’s spec ops unit selected the Gen4 Glock 17 and Gen4 Glock 26, including the Force-on-Force training models. … Read more
