Have you ever wondered about GLOCK’s maritime spring cups? The maritime spring cups are often sold as a way to lighten your trigger, keep your GLOCK running under water, or even allow GLOCKs to keep functioning with debris in the striker channel… but do they really do everything that some people claim?
The YouTube channel TWANGnBANG recently posted an excellent video that really puts the microscope on these tiny GLOCK parts. If you shoot GLOCKs, this video is well worth your time.
The SIRT Training Pistols from Next Level Training have received quite a bit of praise from many shooters… or at least many GLOCK shooters. Until now, shooters who have chosen a handgun other than GLOCK, like the popular Smith and Wesson M&P, have been left out in the cold. That is all about to change.
Next Level Training will soon be releasing a SIRT Training Pistol that approximates the M&P. The target release date is mid-2012. Keep an eye on the Next Level Training website for details.
If you plan on purchasing a PWS FSC556, beware of counterfeits. The knock-offs come complete with copied packaging though it is of lower quality. Additionally, the knock-off muzzle device has a low quality finish and visible machine marks.
White Sound Defense (WSD) has released the GLOCK 19/23/32/38 version of their guide rod. I previously had the chance to review the G17/22 version and found that it worked as well as other guide rods with the additional stand-off feature.
WSD designs their guide rods with a couple of unique features. The most obvious feature is the extended length. The guide rods are designed to extend slightly beyond the front of the slide. This allows the guide rod to serve as a stand-off to prevent the slide from being pressed out of battery in event that the the GLOCK must be pressed into the body of an attacker. Additionally, their guide rods have a small hole in them that allow you to use a paper clip to wind the spring onto the rod, making installation much easier.
Mark Basa, owner of TAREINCO, has a mind that never stops. He works into the wee hours of the morning prototyping new designs. One of the most recent products of his fertile mind is the TSH (Tape Switch Holder).
It is pretty easy to guess what the TSH does once you hear its name. It is an elastic cuff that retains your tape switch pad without the need for rubber bands, zip ties, tape, adhesive Velcro, or any other stop gap method of securing the tape switch. The TSH allows you to place the tape switch anywhere on or around the hand guard.
Much of the versatility of the TSH is derived from it’s mil-spec elastic construction. Mark says that the TSH is tight enough to stay put on the rail and tight enough to aggressively hold the tape switch, yet it has enough stretch to fit just about any hand guard. It will even stretch enough to clear a front sight base.
The TSH is available in black, foliage green, and coyote brown from TAREINCO.com. We have some of these in bound for review and a giveaway so stay tuned.
