Vehicle Handgun Mount

TJ Provost Leave a comment

This Vehicle Handgun Mount means you can keep your firearm close at hand in your vehicle. It also means you can store it safely. A loose firearm in a vehicle is just Bad Gun Handling. Don’t do it. Remember that this may not be legal where you live. Do your due diligence and make sure it is before you mount it in your car.

Post disaster the only law will be “The weak be wary.” Those who prepared will be attacked by those who didn’t. I plan on being ready for whatever happens. What good is preparing if you lose everything to the first band of scavengers who wander by?

I have another Handgun Mount or two hidden about in my vehicle. If someone gets the drop on me I’ll still have a chance to save my family and gear. I will just need a moment of distraction on their part to take care of business.

Bad Gun Handling – Respect The Weapon

TJ Provost Leave a comment

Respect The Weapon, learn how to handle it properly.

How do you tell someone you don’t know how to handle a revolver without saying anything?

You snap the cylinder shut with a flick of your hand.

This is just so bad for the weapon. You want to support the crane. Using the weight of the cylinder to close it will eventually ruin the weapon. How badly it fails when it is stressed too much is a roll of the dice. Do you want to lose a finger because you didn’t handle your revolver with respect and care?

Respect The Weapon = Safety First
Respect The Weapon

Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.

Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:

  1. Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
  2. Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  4. Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

If you are interested in learning more about how to shoot a revolver, I highly recommend The Art of Revolver Shooting.

Glock Pro Mags Versus Glock Mags

Leave a comment

I live in a state where 10 round magazines are the most you can own legally. Having a lower capacity means I want more mags. Know what I mean? So I decided to stock up on mags for my Glock 23. I was surprised to see the massive price difference between OEM and Pro Mags.

Pricing

I paid $30 for a single Glock Factory Mag.

That price seems reasonable until I saw that I could get 4 Pro Mags for $67, or $16.75 apiece.

So how do Pro Mags compare?

On price they are clearly a winner.

Functionality

On functionality they aren’t quite 100%. They function flawlessly when it came to semi auto action. I didn’t have any issues with feeds or seating the mags. Where things didn’t work quite as well was on ejecting the magazines.

Part of the reason to have lots of magazines is so you can quickly reload. Drop the empty, load the next magazine. This is where the pro mags didn’t quite hold up to the OEM parts.

Yes, I first tried with empty mags, then was curious if a loaded mags weight would help it drop , which it did not. I was the only one at the range, and the weapon was always pointed down range. Don’t try this at home unless you can do it safely.

I think the reason the Pro Mags don’t drop without being pulled is that their retention notch appears to be significantly deeper than the OEM mags.

Pro Mag to Glock OEM comparison.

I am not a gun smith, so these are just my novice observations. Having said that, there is clearly a functional difference between these two mags.

If you look really carefully, you will also see that the edges of the release on the Pro Mag is not quite as clean.

The edge of the molding is rough and has bits of plastic/polymer that sticks off.

My next step is to clean those edges up with a small file and see if that improves the clip release.

In the end these Pro Mags are fine for the range, but I wouldn’t be putting them on a carry rig or rely on them in this state for a bug out / survival situation.

For the price though, these are great for the range.

See the one thousand items you need to survive the Apocalypse!
