“Tag: Glock”

In 1986, Glock established an office in Smyrna, Ga., and the next year, it opened a second manufacturing plant in Austria to meet growing demand.

Made by Benelli’s Stoeger Silah factory in Turkey, the STR-9S Combat builds on the Optic Ready model by adding a threaded barrel, high-profile sights, a flat trigger and a flared magazine well.

Join B. Gil Horman as he goes over some of the best and latest 'Micro Nine' handguns, which are designed specifically with self defense and concealed carry in mind.

Aker Leather has a line of belt slide holsters for light-bearing guns, the Nightguard series, and the new Compact version (Model 147C) is scaled-down particularly for use with smaller carry pistols.

Introduced in 1999, the Glock G36 offers the power of a .45 ACP chambering in a small and relatively lightweight package.

Long known as a leading provider of accessories for Glock pistols, Lone Wolf Arms has branched out into the suppressor arena with the Elimin8r, a model designed for .45-cal. handguns and rated for full-automatic use.

Right now, the hot topic of conversation in the self defense community is the sub-compact class of carry pistols dubbed the 'Micro Nines,’ which are becoming ever more prevalent in the current market.

After the release of the full-size G17, Glock introduced a more compact version as the G19, which has evolved over five generations to its latest form as the G19X.
