This TAC-TV segment is extremely educational if you are a Glock shooter. Watch Larry Vickers, Ken Hackathorn, and Super Dave Harrington talk about how they modify their Glocks to get the most performance out of them.

2013 Models from GLOCK
GLOCK will be releasing several “new” models for 2013. All are shown on this recently released graphic except for the new 30S. You can read RomeoTangoBravo’s first impressions of the G30S to find out more.
Apex Tactical Specialties Armorer Block
Apex Tactical Specialties has released their Armorer Block for the S&W M&P and GLOCK line of pistols.
The Armorer Block is designed to secure your M&P or GLOCK handgun while you replace or remove parts. It has 2 moveable bosses that allow the frame to conform to all sizes and calibers of GLOCK and M&P handguns. The block has a series of slots that allows pins to be driven out while it holds the frame. It also has slots that allow you to anchor the base of the striker modules of the both the M&P and GLOCK for easy disassembly of the modules and a slot that can secure an M&P trigger to make trigger bar replacement easier.
I think they should change the name to the Apex Tactical Specialties Third Hand, because this is exactly what so many of us were actually wishing for when we wished for a third hand during a project.

TWANGnBANG Compares GLOCK Extractors
I am a big fan of the YouTube channel TWANGEnBANG, especially their GLOCK content. The most recent GLOCK video shows the differences in appearance, geometry, and extraction of the GLOCK Dipped, GLOCK non-dipped, and Apex Tactical Extractor complete with slow motion video. If you have one of the seemingly many GLOCKs that is experiencing extraction issues like brass to the face or inconsistent extraction, this video will be very helpful to you as you try to fix the issues.
Be Heard: New or Used GLOCK?
We recently discussed whether or not your trust in GLOCK handguns has been shaken as they continue to have ongoing issues with their Gen4 and newer Gen3 handguns. The vast majority of you expressed that you trusted the GLOCKs that you own and have proven on the range but that isn’t really what I was after so I think I’ll rephrase the question.
Let’s say that you have the choice between a brand new Gen4 GLOCK and an older, used Gen3 GLOCK for a handgun training course that you were attending the next day. Which would you choose assuming all factors are the same (price, accessories, etc.)? Does a perceived loss of reliability affect your decision?
