Glock 17 handguns and accessories
I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy when it comes to certain things. Home defense is one of them. Because of that, I like several options sitting by the bedside for dealing with social work, like evicting home invaders. There is a gear tree that sits 3 feet away from my nightstand that holds my 3-gun belt, my plate carrier and two long guns. One of those guns is an AR-15, and that is what we will focus on today.
Finding the best 9mm is about as personal of a decision as finding the best pizza. With dozens of manufacturers, hundreds of models, and thousands of configurations, there just isn’t really a “best,” just a “best for me.” However, that doesn’t mean all 9mm pistols are made equal. There are some that stand head and shoulders above the rest, here are three of them.
Glock’s introduction of the Generation 5 pistol has been much anticipated. The new pistol offers significant changes—more so than any previous generation. The first change to the Glock was the addition of a light rail. Next, came the finger groove frame and the rough texture frame later. Read the full review for other changes as well as range performance.
In putting together the top combat sidearms, a number of factors influenced the decisions including design, battle performance, cartridge, performance, comparable technology of the day and reliability versus practicality, but can a Glock be considered a “Combat Handgun?” Read on to see if the author agrees.
Larry Vickers is a respected trainer, soldier, and gunsmith. His name on a handgun means a great deal to many of us. The Glock 17 was the original Glock pistol, and the one on which Glock’s reputation was built. It is fair to say that there is no more proven reliable handgun on the planet. How do you make the best even better? By combining the two of course. Read the full review of the Glock 17 Vickers Tactical to discover the details for yourself.
If the effectiveness of a bullet can be summed up in a single phrase, it would be “stopping power.” The more stopping power a bullet delivers, the more effective it will be at ending a confrontation in your favor. Make no mistake; stopping power and caliber do not share the direct correlation many people think.
There are times when you don’t notice a shift in the paradigm, but with the new Glock G17 and G19 Gen4 MOS (Modular Optic System) pistols the move is obvious and clear. Conceal carry pistols equipped with optics are the next stage in the evolution of defensive pistols. Read the full range report to find out why.
Good news Glock fans, Glock just released the news that it will be debuting two new Glocks this week. The details are rather thin as of now, but The Shooter’s Log’s editors and writers are headed to the range for a little field testing. We will have our first impressions and perhaps a video or two of the Glock in action later today, so keep checking back.
The Glock 17 Gen 4 leverages all the great features of a 30 year old pistol with fantastic new upgrades. Check this post for thorough details.
The Shooter’s Log writers are big fans of Armscor’s .22 TCM round. We were especially intrigued when we saw GLOCKs at the RIA booth. The company has developed a working production model of its .22 TCM 9R GLOCK 17 Gen 3 conversion kit. With a barrel, guide rod and recoil spring, you can shoot the brand new .22 TCM 9R round through your GLOCK 17 9mm, using GLOCK mags. We have more information in our blog “SHOT 2015—RIA .22 TCM 9R GLOCK Conversion Kit.”
