PWS New Glock Slide
PWS unveiled their new Glock EDS (Enhanced Duty Slide). You provide your own barrel and recoil spring but it is a simple drop in upgrade. The rep said they did not want to make any modifications to the frame or trigger of the Glock yet were able to bring the factory trigger pull down from […]

New Recover Pistol-Carbine and Holster
I found Recover and they have some really cool products coming out this year. First up they have a pistol-carbine conversion kit similar to the other pistol conversion kits like the Roni or SIG ACP. However the Recover Morphy BCZ has better features than the others. Right now it is designed for use with a […]

SureFire XC1 Compact Pistol Light
SureFire is coming out with a new pistol light. This one was designed with X300 user complaints in mind. SureFire received many requests for a pistol light that does not protrude past the muzzle of common pistols like a Glock 17 or 19. The XC1 is similar to the new Titan. It uses the same […]

A new company called RZE (Ross & Zheng Engineering) is introducing a magazine at SHOT this year that I had a chance to take a look at today. It looks like a standard 30-round AR magazine, but it has a clever follower design that allows it to adapt to the angle of a variety of […]

Simple Carry Solution Using Clipdraw
I have been actively using a Clipdraw for years on my Glock 17 (and my wife has one on her Glock 19). I can’t really think of a simpler way to carry a pistol on your waist that will hold it in place (queue the comments about duct tape). The only place I think it […]

Need a Concealed Holster for Running? Pistol Wear May Have What You Want
Who here carries absolutely everywhere? And I mean everywhere… I try my best to do so (obviously I’m not carrying at SHOT), but while exercising, I’ve never really found a solution that works for me. I’ve tried everything from belly bands to fanny packs (don’t say it) to ClipDraw (which I love and will discuss […]
