I grew up watching westerns, from Clint Eastwood and John Wayne’s flicks to Bonanza and The Rifleman. I’ve always thought six shooters, lever-actions and leather holster just looked…cool. Here’s something that mixes a bit of the oldschool with the new. Posted over on Pinterest, it’s a leather cowboy saddle holster for a G36. Not sure what the context of this picture is or where it’s from, anyone have any idea?
Glocks are among the most reliable firearms ever devised, I’m sure you’ve seen all the Glock endurance test videos on YouTube were they drop it in mud or fire it underwater. But what I really want to know is if a Glock will function after being encased in Jello. well mattv2099 has done just that and posted it on YouTube. Check out the results below:
Coincidentally two members on Reddit recently found their grandfather’s old photo albums from their time serving during WWII. One was from The Pacific Campaign while the other was taken during the European Campaign. Just a warning, the images from both sets are pretty graphic.

Kel-Tec recently released their new CL-43 flashlight. The 420 lumen flashlight has a Cree XP-G LED lamp and is CNC machined out of extruded aluminum and comes in black, yellow, OD green, coyote tan and orange. They’re pricey at $140 over at Keltecweapons.com.
The switch is operated like the trigger on a gun, pointing the light as an extension of your arm. Compared to a light mounted to a pistol, the CL-43 has much superior range, and also keeps the ability to hold the light off the line of sight to conceal your position.
The small size of the CL-43 makes it possible to hold and operate parallel with a handgun without impairing a conventional two handed hold. If required, and with some training, the light can be operated one-handed together with the gun.
With the addition of a separate attachment, the CL-43 can also be mounted to a MIL-Spec Picatinny. An integrated belt clip and lanyard ring add to the versatility of the system. With a separate adaptor, standard AA batteries can be utilized, however, at an increase in length of the system.

One of the biggest complaints of the Glock is the grip. Either it’s too wide, has an odd angle or it just plain doesn’t fit many shooters hands. Glock has attempted to help improve the grip of then Gen4 models with adjustable pistol grip backstraps, and while that may help a bit, there’s always gunsmiths out there who can take it a step further and modify your Glocks grip. Some people try stippling their Glock grips, but that just changes the texture of the grip and does nothing to address the angle. Lew at Glockgripreduction.com takes it a step further. For $110 he’ll do a full grip reduction and modify your Glocks grip to try to match that of a 1911. I actually think with a new paint job it doesn’t look half bad.
