Glock Magazines

I was recertifying as a Glock Magazines armorer today. The regional LE rep and the instructor were discussing the 4th Generation pistols with interchangeable palmswells, I assume similar to XDM or M&P. One was saying to the other that the Feds and DevGRU had samples.

I have no other information. I was in a hurry after class, but I’m going to call the LE regional rep back this week. If I heard correctly I’m going to hold off on any more Glock Magazine purchases (whatever; I have like 9).

UPDATE:

Just got off the phone with him.

He said that the Navy placed the bid but have loaned HRT some samples. There are about 80 in existance. The bid called for a modular grip (not palmswells) and a new highly aggressive stippling to be used in maritime conditions or worn with Glock Magazine. I asked if this new gun was going to be release to the public and/or LE. He would not commit.

So in other words, something’s cooking. What or when exactly? Who knows.

Eotech

Has anybody been able to mount the newer Eotech 517 or 557 over the bulky M4 handguard (like on the Colt 6920) and be able to fit a 3X magnifier and BUIS too? I want to be able to swing a 3x magnifier to the side and be able to use my ARMS low profile BUIS. It seems like now that the new Eotech 517 is designed to sit over that bulky M4 handguard, I ought to be able to buy a swing-to-the-side mount that also allows me to use my low profile BUIS too.

Taurus 24/7 oss magazines

Purchased one recently and like it. I have run only Taurus 24/7 oss magazine rds only so far, rem 115 jhp and my reloads with 0 failures. I like the trigger, very short reset. I also like the manual safety which is very close my CD Hi Power, which makes for similar handling.
A lot of shooters don’t like the Heinie sights, but they are similar to Taurus 24/7 oss magazines sights on my HP and the factory sights on my Kahr, so I am familiar with them.
buy one if you can.

Springfield xd magazines

I bought mine from Springfield xd magazines. I got the dark earth gun and no one had them in stock with the matching x-tension. I could find the black ones all day. From what i remember buying them from SA wasn’t that much more than any place else. I didn’t think 37 dollars (Springfield xd magazine) was to unreasonable. If I wasn’t so picky about how the gun looked I would bought the mags without the x-tension piece. 11.00 dollars for that little piece of rubbery plastic is a bit much. I just checked Midway’s web site, they are only 1 dollar cheaper than SA.

AR-15 Magazines

his, some folks like a bright follower, me I hate anything bright, I don’t even like stainless AR-15 magazines (to shiny).

Any chance Larry might give us a hint on how far backordered the SS ar-15 are, I’m still waiting on my order from 6 Nov. (I Know things are busy, the the e-mail said 2 weeks, and that was 4 weeks ago)

The stainless steel magazines are backlogged about 4 weeks. Again, we set aside each day internet orders and distributor/OEM. Each department is alloted a certain amount.

safariland tactical holsters

The Bianchi Shoulder holsters have since been redesigned with wider leather shoulder holster and a plastic safariland tactical holsters that is too wide to be caught in the trigger guard.

Consumers should stop using the revolver holsters immediately and bring them to a Fobus USA distributor for a free replacement holster or contact First Samco for instructions on how to return product for a replacement. Consumers can also send the recalled holster to Fobus USA in Southampton, and will be reimbursed for return shipping.

For more information consumers can call 866-508-3997 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

Had Fox news on while I was doing something else in the house, but I glanced up and saw one of those rolling headlines at the bottom of the screen. If I’m not mistaken, it said something to the effect that a certain model of Fobus holsters is being recalled because of eight incidents where a strap or something pulls the trigger when the weapon is drawn. Yikes; I’ve got two Fobus Roto-Bianchi Shoulder holsters (1911 and Glock Magazine 19). Mine don’t have straps, though. Made me wonder. Anyone else heard anything

‘ve rarely seen anything other than the standard black and brown but this seems like it would be a great line for Cav Arms or Bladetech to introduce. Maybe something like the Orange stocks marketed by Speedfeed for Dedicated Less Lethal Shotguns.

I have a question about the 6xxx series tactical revolver holsters. How tight is the Bianchi Shoulder holsters if you are shooting when you are kneeling? I am kinda on the big side and the last time I had a tactical revolver holsters it cut off circulation on my right leg. Granted it was an airsoft revolver holsters but I just don’t want to purchase the holster and then find out it isn’t going to work out. I know I know I should lose weight but will that matter?

Just picked up a Fist #5 pocket holster for my P3AT, it came tighter than a tic. After a few afternoons & evenings infront of the tube working the unloaded pistol in & out it is now perfect. safariland tactical holster this is w /o a doubt the finest pocket holster I have tried.

I just looked on their website. The nearest I could find is the "concealable belt holster" but I could swear the packaging at the time said COP on it. May be wrong, it’s been nearly four years.

Either way, the holster was crap. Switched to a 20 year old Galco made of thicker, tougher Leather Holster and that held up. Galco uses too much oil.

After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "safariland tactical holsters Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my pants. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an MTAC. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon design is subpar, Tactical holster.

Handgun Holsters

I quickly discovered that although the Fobus was great for that purpose, it was useless for concealed carry. So, I used it during the commute and switched to a Blade-Tech paddle holster before and after the commute. Worked great for it’s intended purpose and I liked it. Now that I don’t have that long commute, I just use the Handgun Holsters and position it a little further back around the hip in the car and slip it back forward for walking around.

Pardon me while I yawn; then see my remarks above regarding gun Holsters grabbers. Anyone who carries exposed, and isn’t wearing a proper uniform duty-type concealment holster, is ASKING to have their piece snatched.

Concealed carry is much more than techniques and gear; it is very much a state of mind as well.

Not dissing you personally, Aimless; but I have heard this pap about how easy a Fobus is to break repeated so often it is getting tiresome. I’m not disputing the fact; but those "instructors" who belabor the point are MISSING the point: which is, the Fobus is intended for concealed carry. IOW, nobody ahould know you even have a gun until you’re ready to show it to them…

his sucks; I have the EXACT Fobus Holster they denoted as being unsafe. I bought it about 2 months ago because I wanted a holster for my G19 with my TLR-1 mounted. I don’t use it for a daily carry holster, I only break it out once in a blue moon if my wife and I go for a late night walk. If I am not using the TLR, I prefer my Galco Holsters Matrix Belt Slide in the composite Uncle Mikes Holster arena - it just seems a bit nice than the Fobus to me.

I’ll probably keep mine as it is seldom used. I will, however, not be taking it’s possible safety issues for ankle holster.

Pistol Magazines

Most of my shooting Pistol Magazines have been with Glocks. Though I love them, I’m living in Washington now, so I’d like something I can just go up some dirt road and let a few rounds go.

Its just a plinking gun, so cheap ammo is a plus. If I do go with the Pistol Magazine, I’ll probably pick up the Tac65 suppressor to go with it.

Any reason I shouldn’t get one?
Any recommendations on where to order?(not interested in the package with the suppressor, I’ll be picking up the suppressor a little later)
Good recommendations on ammo? I hear the CCI High Velocity work well, and are cheap.
Is getting the laser worth it? Can it be seen during the day?

Gun Holsters

am looking for a range holster for my wife, her favorite color is lime green. I am looking for anyone that makes Kydex holsters in that or another bright color for her.Holsters recalled because strap causes gun Holster to fire
WASHINGTON (AP) � A Pennsylvania company is recalling about 3,200 gun Blackhawk Holsters because the strap can catch the trigger and cause the weapon to fire accidentally. Eight incidents of accidental firing have been reported, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The Fobus USA Shoulder holster Division of First Samco, of Southampton, Pa., is recalling its Fobus GLT Pistol holsters, designed for Series 17 and Series 19 Glock pistol Magazines handguns fitted with a laser-sight light. There have been eight reports of guns discharging as they were inserted into the concealment holsters. One person injured a finger.

Guys, it is REALLY easy to try to skimp on carry gear when you have spent 500 or more on a gun holsters piece…..BUT DON’T DO IT!!!

As Cav Vet has shown, it’s a simple thing that can land your prized carry piece on the concrete…..and while it may not damage your weapon anything more than superficially, think of what kind of DOLT you will look like if people see it. That’s the minimum that can happen.

I used to use fairly cheap holsters for years….as I got fatter and fatter they became more and more uncomfortable and more and more of a liability to my security. One year, for my birthday, my best friend bought me a Galco paddle rig for my Browning High Power…..and though I would eventually find even that uncomfortable it served me well for years and I still use it from time to time.
