I got a Glock – Glock 22 Gen 2 .40 S&W and some Black Talon ammo

.

I recently acquired a great “historical” gun package. Not really historical in the sense of being old, but in the sense that this package represents a time in firearm history when big things were going on.

I got a Police trade in Glock 22 Gen 2. The G22 is chambered in .40 and is a full size pistol. Although the Gen 2 is lacking an accessory rail up front, the thumb divots and the finger wells in the grips…….. I still like it. My wife LOVES it and has pretty much taken it over. She put a Hogue pink grip sleeve on the grip and a pink rear slide plate that has the glock logo. That will make it tons of fun when I take it shooting.

Another part of this package was 3 boxes of Winchester Black Talon ammo. Not fake stuff, the REAL DEAL. I am going to keep it, and someday hand it down to my son. Right now that ammo is worth about $2.20 per round, and Im sure its going to go up and up and up.

So, Im happy I got this package, and my wife was wanting a fullsize glock and now she has one.  This means I need a fullsize pistol…….

Concealed Holster Comparison – Bladetech, Crossbreed, Blackhawk IWB modeled by my wife

.

I got my wife to model these concealed carry holsters instead of me, and you can thank me later. One thing I’d like to add, I have since gotten the Galco kydex IWB holster  -  I think I like it better than the Crossbreeds.

So out of all these holsters in the video, both my wife and I agree that the Crossbreed quickclip is the better one.

Have you seen this new compact XD pistol? The XD-S. Its a single stack, compact (3.3 inch barrel) .45 Semi Auto Pistol. I am NOT a 1911 fan, but I have to ask – Whats the benefit of this over the 1911? As far as I know this has removable backstraps and stuff like the XDm. I havent seen a price yet, but im sure it will be in the $500′s.

Knoxx BlackHawk CompStock for Remington 870 Shotgun Review

This is one of the BEST mods I have done to my shotgun. Not only does it look and feel great, it GREATLY reduces felt recoil. I dont really care for pistol grips on shotguns so thats why I chose the CompStock. It is made by Hogue, so it has that classic hogue “cobblestone” feel to the grip area and the forend. It wasnt too expensive and was a great upgrade.
