Glock Shots - August

It was 98 degrees in the shade and Anne was wearing her tight red corset.  She was not going to let the high temps and humidity effect her photo shoot.  She rocked it!  Mission was accomplished!  Thank you Anne!

Glock .45s - The best of both worlds

The Glock 21SF and Glock 36 -- The perfect combination for personal protection?

There are many schools of thought related to the best caliber for self defense.  Some will tell you the .380 .38 or 9mm is best because it is a smaller and lighter cartridge and therefore it makes the gun lighter to carry.  Others will tell you any pistol round is inadequate so it's best to use the biggest practical bullet for personal defense.  The discussion will then take vectors in the topics of recoil, accuracy, magazine capacity and eventually settle on the "stopping power" argument.  Someone will say, "I carry the .45 ACP because bigger bullets make bigger holes and bigger holes means better stopping power versus a bad guy."   For those who follow this logic Glock has you covered! 

When given a choice, many law enforcement officers will choose to carry the Glock 21SF.  The G21SF is a standard frame 45 caliber workhorse which has a capacity of 13+1.  Law enforcement officers who purchase their own duty gun are eligible for the Glock's Blue Label package.   The Blue Label package include a handgun with night sights and 3 magazines at discounted price.  No cop ever wants to use his gun but if needed he or she will have 40 rounds of .45 ACP available if needed.

What about this Glock 36?  Why does it seem to be least known of all the Glock pistols yet it seems to offer the best features for concealed carry?  Going back to the philosophy which states "bigger bullets make bigger holes", why don't more people look at the 45 Caliber Glock 36 for IWB (inside the waistband carry) or pocket holster carry?  The G36 is the only single stack Glock in the entire product line.  This means it is also the thinnest of all Glock pistols.  The G36 is light and nimble yet offers the punch of a .45 ACP.

The Hi Point Carbine - Ready to Rock!

The Hi Point Carbine is and excellent value with a current list of price of just $285.  Hi Point rifles are available in standard pistol ammo calibers -- 9mm .40 S&W and .45 ACP.  The 9mm Hi Point 995TS model is shown here.  It comes standard with a magazine capacity of 10 rounds. Larger capacity of magazines are available from ProMag.  
One thing I really like about the 995TS is that it comes with multiple rails.  The bad boy has rails everywhere!  It's ready accessory ready right out of the box!  It has a lower rail which is perfect for adding a forward grip.  The front rail mounted under the barrel, can be used for light, laser or bayonet. The top rail is perfect for mounting optics.  This gun is a joy to shoot.  It is accurate and reliable.

The Glock 36 - 45 Caliber Conceal Carry Excellence

Glock classifies the G36 as a subcompact.  It has a capacity of 6+1 or 7+1 (when a +1 grip extender is used).  For self defense purposes it wise to have at least one extra magazine on you which gives you 14 rounds. 

This handgun packs the 45 caliber punch and it is Glock's only single stack magazine firearm. The G36 is also the thinnest of all Glock pistols.  The Glock 36 excels in concealed carry mode due to it's thin form factor.  The G36 is also lighter than the G30SF which makes it much more suitable for IWB or pocket carry than the G30SF. 

The Glock 36 is considered a Gen 3 product but it comes standard with the two stage mainspring which is typical of Gen 4 Glocks.  Why has Glock not produced a Gen 4 Glock 36?  Because they would be hard pressed to improve this perfect conceal carry 45 caliber pistol.

The standard 6 round magazine is shown seated in the gun. The extended 7 round magazine is shown to the right.

The G36 is my personal favorite for CC purposes.  It has a capacity which is similar to a 1911 but it offers Glock reliability and super easy maintenance.

Glock Shots - December

The month the lovely Becca has taken the challenge.  It was 20F day during this shoot but she was tough and was willing to suffer for two hours in the cold the temps.  Everyone please stand and salute her bravery!

In this set she is posing with a Glock 21SF Gen 3.  This set also includes a Glock 36 Gen 3 (Glock did such a perfect job with the Gen 3 model they have no plans to make a G36 Gen 4) and an Armalite M15 which is also known as the M4 rifle, and a Saiga 7.62 Sporter which has been expertly converted into an AK47 rifle.

The Tapco 30 round magazine. This one is made from black poly material and has proven to be very durable and 100% reliable.

I hate how no one on the news ever says this, "The Sandyhook killings could have been stopped or at least reduced if a responsible teacher had been carrying a concealed gun. But guess what? Schools are "gun free" zones" . nonsense gun control laws caused innocent children to die.

 

*CCW permit holders must take a course and pass a written test and a range test. They must go through a 45 day background check. 

*If a CCW permit holder had been at Sandyhook they could have stopped or reduced the deaths of the these children!

The New Glock 30S Model!

Where does the Glock 30S fit into the Glock 45 Caliber Product line? 
Glock 21SF - It's a standard frame handgun with a capacity of 13+1. This is the big dog which rides comfortably in a hip holster but due to it's size, it is not the best choice for [most] concealed carry purposes.

Glock 30SF -  Most folks call this a mid size gun.  It has a mag capacity of 10+1. It features a slide which is fat and heavy just like it's big brother the G21, however, the grip has been shortened to reduce the size of this handgun. Though it has smaller form factor than the G21SF, it is still not an ideal concealed carry gun due to it's thickness and weight and most folks would not be comfortable using this gun in an IWB holster (inside the waistband) or pocket holster.
  
*Glock 36 - Glock calls it a subcompact.  It has a capacity of 6+1 or 7+1 (when a +1 grip extender is used).  This handgun packs the 45 caliber punch. It is Glock's only single stack firearm and it is also the thinnest of all Glock pistols!  The Glock 36 excels in concealed carry mode due to it's thin form factor.  The G36 is also lighter than the G30SF which makes it much more suitable for IWB or pocket carry than the G30SF.

*Glock 30S -  Built on the G30 SF frame it has a capacity of 10+1 and uses the same double stack magazine as the G30SF.  This is hybrid! Take the lower of the G30 and the slide from the G36 and you have the G30S.  The slide is thinner and lighter but the body of the gun is the same thickness as the G30.  The G36 is still the thinnest and lightest 45 in the Glock product line but the G30S gives concealed carry enthusiasts and law enforcement a new option 45 caliber concealed carry.
