Longest sentence in gun blogging history?

.... Oh, and there is a review of the Glock 35 Long Slide also... Ebbs is apparently in love.

Ho-hum... Glocks run like a champ

Yeah, I know.... I know... There are problem reports out there about Glocks. Yes, I read the Internets every morning. My personal experiences over the years however have been that they are pretty much as reliable as a hammer. YMMV.

Aaron has a review range report on a Gen 4 Glock 17.... 600 rounds/no failures... SHOCKING!

Short Barrel 9mm Penetration

You got to love it when another gun blogger puts together ballistics info on the very same gun that you just bought for concealed carry. Thanks Tom.... saved me the time and ammo. lol

Go check out his penetration testing with the Gen 4 Glock 26.... here. Great post. Might need to get me some of that Georgia Arms stuff.

Glock Gets Run Over by a Lawn mower

Ouch!... And no, that should not be test fired.

Glock 21 buried for 2 years then given a 500rd test fire

This is from back in 2009, but its new to me. Spoiler Alert: It runs just as good as a Glock straight from the gun shop. Very interesting, and I guess it goes to show that you dont really need all those fancy storage bags. I think I would have fired the first few shots with a string though.

Exit Question: Who wants to sign up to do this with their high end 1911?

Another Glock Clone

Over at The Firearm Blog they have the story about this new pistol (available in 9mm and .22lr)

Yeah, there is going to be a lawsuit over this one.

The Haus on the Glock Rear Sight Laser

Ebbs takes a look at the LaserLyte Rear Sight Laser.... here. I reviewed it a while back and you can read that.... here. The cheapest place to pick one up for yourself is here.

*His pics are way better than mine... I probably need to get a new camera (or some talent).

150 more rounds through the new Glock

Yeah, I was able to get some more trigger time with my new carry piece. I put 150 rounds of ball through it without a single problem. I am still only running the #1 magazine... Id really' like to get a few more rounds through that one before I go on to start testing the other two.

I will say that I am really loving the new grip texture on the Gen 4. It a lot less slick than the older generations, and its definitely not as abrasive as the RTF texture. When doing a full mag-dump, I do feel it rub my ring finger but its definitely not something I would classify as uncomfortable.

The large backstrap is also a big plus over the old Gen 3 Glock 26 that I had been carrying. It fills my hand better (I have average size hands, BTW) and it puts my finger much closer to a proper position on the trigger.

Steel Cased Ammo

Whats the verdict on steel cased ammo? Well, it depends on who you are talking to.... Some people come down on the side of steel ammo being destructive to firearms, and others say that it has absolutely no effect at all. All of that is mere opinion and speculation with little to no basis in reality.

The problem is that there are no hard numbers on the long term effects that shooting steel ammo has on firearms. However, Caleb is about to change all of that.... He is going to devote a great deal of time to documenting the effects of steel cased .45 ACP TulAmmo on his Gen 4 Glock 21. This is gonna be fun to watch.

Range Trip

I mentioned last week that I recently got my hands on two new products. Well, I was able to sneak out for a range trip yesterday and put some rounds downrange with each. It had been a little while since I'd been shooting, so it was a lot of fun just to work the trigger.... but it was also nice since I got to give the new Glock and the new optic a work out.

I put about 125 rounds through each (give or take), and performance on both were flawless. Of note was the fact that the trigger pull on the new Glock 26 was just as good right out of the box as my old Glock 26 which has had countless rounds through it. The Bushnell TRS-25 was also a surprise. Had no problems at all running running it on my 5.56 caliber Daniel Defense. It held zero just fine throughout the shooting and even with removing and then replacing it halfway through the session.

More to come.

Glock 26 edition... I mentioned that I picked this up the other day as my new CCW piece... here are some more pics:

Look what followed me home from the gun store...

"He must have gotten lost; been part of a convoy or something"

Dont worry, I will give him a good home (Wait arent you supposed to refer to guns as women?) Anywho... what you are looking at here is a 9mm Gen 4 Glock 26 with the large back strap installed.

The Delta Force Appraoch to Handguns

Richard over at GHAG has a really interesting email posted up about the Delta Force's (Yes, the real honest to goodness ninjas) approach to handguns.

Apparently, those 1911s that they were so famous for were abandoned because they were so high maintenance... including the need for regular X-Rays. Wow! They also are believers in the philosophy of 'put as many shots into the SOB as you can until he stops'.
