Pistol

We saw the Heckler & Kock VP9SK at NRA 2017. If you’re a fan of HK, then I don’t need to tell you anything else. If you’re not into HK, no worries, move along, nothing to see here…

The XD-E is a gun you have to shoot to believe. I generally don’t prefer DA/SA guns, but this one runs like a scalded cat.

“It has the best out of the box trigger I have ever seen in a striker gun,” noted Clay Martin. “It makes expensive add-on triggers for other plastic guns feel stupid by comparison.”

So often when I see firearm upgrade videos though, the modifications are usually extensive and well beyond most budgets. We thought it’d be fun then to do a video that focused on easy modifications a person could do to their pistol with a more reasonable budget. So armed with $100 I started perusing the local gunshops and online to find the parts and pieces that I’d need to modify my bone stock Glock 34 Gen4 to ready it for competition.

We here at GunsAmerica first heard about what would become the FN 509 back in January, 2016 at SHOT Show. There were plenty of looks back and forth between the FN folks, followed by a polite “We’ll get back to you” when asked about it. Fast-forward 12 months to the 2017 SHOT Show, and FN responded with an invitation to a meeting at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas. At that meeting, we were given the opportunity to fire a few hundred rounds through the FN 509. We received our sample of the 509 a few weeks ago after promising not to discuss it publicly until April 17th, 2017.

The idea of forcing a firearm to have a heavy trigger clearly is the brainchild of lawyers. This from the same no-talent ass clowns that made an industry of medical malpractice and can debate for hours “What the definition of is, is” directly related to perjury. Yes, I’m looking at you William Jefferson. Anyway, my belief is that only a complete moron would think a trigger that is harder to pull makes anyone safer. Also, coffee tends to be served hot. You’re welcome.

In addition to adding Gen 4 17C and 19C pistols to their lineup Glock is working with Lipsey’s on upgraded Glock 17 and 19 FS guns for their catalog.

The Rock Island Armory TCM TAC Ultra FS HC Combo is a race ready 9mm double-stack 2011 with a twist.  In less than 2 minutes, the 9mm can be converted to fire the blazingly fast .22 TCM.

While Dan Wesson might have earned its reputation for radical revolver designs, it in recent years has developed a solid line of high-quality 1911 pistols. So what do you do when you have a product name known for high quality and demanding standards? Well, if you are CZ-USA, you double down on that quality and expand the line.
