Here’s a letter from a reader.  He naturally wants the best, so he asks essentially, which gun is better.  The answer is not that simple.

This year at the Media Day at the range before the 2012 SHOT Show, GLOCK had its new Gen4 pistols laid out for testing.  Regional District Manager, Dave Mallery was very helpful and he thoroughly explained all the changes and improvements that GLOCK has made for the new design.  For those of you who say, [...]

The factory says it is fine to dry-fire your GLOCK.  Some accounts suggest otherwise.  Right off the bat, I’ll tell you that I dry fire the hell out of my Glocks and have never had a problem.  I don’t use snap caps or any gizmos or gimmicks to reduce the striker slamming into the back [...]

I get tons of questions about the availability of GLOCK frames or receivers.  Shooters want to buy a Caspian slide or mount their Advantage Arms .22 kit permanently.  Well by mid-July for $200.00 you can get one from Lone Wolf Distributors.  Here’s the rundown: Lone Wolf R&D LLC proudly introduces the long awaited WolfPack™ Series Replacement Frame.
