I like my Glock 43X -- a lot -- but occasionally I regret getting rid of its slimmer, younger brother; the single stack G43. So I decided to build my own Mock 43. I used a Poly80 PF9SS olive drab frame and set it up with a sniper gray Suarez slide. I topped that off with a Holosun 507K X2 sight and a set of Ameriglo irons. I added a Shield Arms steel mag release so I could … [Read more...] about Building Out My Mock 43 Everyday Carry Gun

It's a home brew 5.56 AR pistol with a Noveske flash can. If you don't hit them, the flame shooting out the muzzle ought to singe them or at least scare them off...

I had it loaded with Grizzly 265 grain hard cast … [Read more...] about Tracker Carry With a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk
