If you’re a girl and you’re wear one of these:

Be prepared to get lots of attention, and questions about your Glock(s) and how much you shoot.

If you’re a guy and you decide to wear one… LOL… well be prepared to be mocked.

Smyrna, GA – Residents living adjacent to buildings owned by gun manufacturer Glock Inc. are challenging the company’s request to encroach on the city’s required stream buffer necessary for future expansion.

Under the proposal, Glock would clear out and level 25 acres of heavily wooded land on a portion of its property that lies behind an existing company building on Highlands Parkway. To do that, the company needs to work within the area running around a porter of streams that is usually protected to preserve the environment.

Full Story – HERE

Like I always say… sometimes you gotta bulldoze a few trees and disrespect some streams to get a good pistol made.

Looks pretty good!

It would be probably good to have the program pop up some optional warnings about how at certain parts of the disassembly process (in most of the guns) you need to be careful that a loaded spring doesn’t fly out and hit you in the eye.

I noticed during the Glock disassembly the guide rod spring can be removed.  While there are non-captive guide rod/spring combos you can buy aftermarket… the factory Glock guide rod has a captive spring. There are probably some other minor errors, but chances are it’s mostly kids that are going to be buying the app to show their friends… so I guess it doesn’t really matter THAT much.

It can be bought on iTunes (HERE).  Be careful though on how much you want to spend because although the app is listed at 99 cents according to one reviewer that only includes 2 of the guns. Each additional gun is another 99 cents each.

A retired Los Angeles police officer who sued a gun maker after his 3-year-old son shot him had his lawsuit dismissed Friday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.

Enrique Chavez, now 39, of Anaheim, was off-duty when he was shot on July 11, 2006, while driving his Ford Ranger near Harbor Boulevard and La Palma Avenue. His son, who was not in a car seat, got a hold of the father’s .45-caliber Glock while sitting in the back seat and shot him in the back, according to police reports.

Terrible thing to have happen.  I’m sure he thought he’d win the lawsuit… but I’m glad he didn’t, that would have set a terrible precedent that would only further inconvience responsible gun owners like the rest of us.  Last thing I want is more safeties and warnings all over my guns.

Just goes to show how you need to keep your guns secured around kids because things could go bad in a split second.

Arfcommers gonna be Arfcommers…

We took my Glock 34 and played soccer with it in the sand, then threw it down a 20 foot rocky cliff about four or five times, opened the slide and poured a handful of sand into the gun, and then tried to shoot it after I drifted the rear sight back to the middle of the slide…It’d have a FTE just about every round. So we urinated on it, and fixed it completely…Odd…Urine fixes Glocks…We never experienced any problems with the Crimson Trace Laser Grip…

Ahahhaha man… who the hell pees on their gun?

The comments on the AR15.com thread are priceless.  Here are the highlights:

• Mikegigabyte – I could never whip mine out in front of guys and a camera, you do gay porn?
• Mikegigabyte – next–––– crapping on a jammed ar
• haLfLiFe - it’s one thing to piss on it and another to shoot it afterwards and have piss flying back in your face and on your hands.
• GomerPyle – One of the dumbest things I’ve seen on this site. And that’s really saying something.
• FJC – Mmmm… bet that smelled real nice once the urine started cooking off the hot barrel…
• DCN1982 – Add one more name to my list of “who not to do business with on the EE”
• andhar – To the OP, regardless of what the others are saying you showed your dedication to getting your weapon running again. Good Job..

There is the possibility that this was all just a big attention stunt done with a bottle of water… but I guess we will never know… The fart at the beginning was a nice touch, regardless of the authenticity.

If you haven’t already seen the movie Law Abiding Citizen, you need to put that on your to do list.

I watched it last night, and noticed that a Glock RTF (Rough Textured Frame) model makes an appearance:

I guess it is as rough as people are saying it is.

It’s at 41 seconds into this clip –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzpwOti8XrM
***DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE, it spoils a good part***

Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler are both incredible in it.

Not sure how many of you like rap, but as I mentioned before i’m a huge fan.  It’s pretty much all I listen to.

Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek (a.k.a. Reflection Eternal) are what I would refer to as “intelligent rap”, meaning the songs usually have a message, and the videos don’t just contain guns, girls, cars, and other eye candy.

Since this is a gun blog, I noticed this in their new video ‘Ballad Of The Black Gold’:

Looks like a compact model Glock… not sure what caliber.  The trigger discipline is nothing to write home about, but I still thought the idea of a Glock dripping in oil was a good visual in the context of the song.

For those that normally wouldn’t give rap a chance, I urge you to give the song a try. At the very least watch the video on mute.

If you’re still with me after that, and you are fiendin’ for more I urge you to check out Talib Kweli’s albums. The new album, Revolutions Per Minute, isn’t bad.. but if you really want to hear some classics check out Train of Thought or The Beautiful Struggle.   Another album I have to plug while I’m at it is Black Star … it is  in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.  On that album you get 13 tracks of both Talib Kweli and Mos Def, who some of you may know from his impressive movie career (IMDB Page)

A similar (or the same?) MAC-11 M11A1 modification to accept Glock magazines which I blogged about back in March is up for sale on Gunbroker:

Link to auction – http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=175724611

The minimum bid is $5479, which seems steep to me. I have no idea how much those things are worth, but I think id rather have a few other guns than that one.  It has been re-listed on Gunbroker a lot of times.

Police bodyguards protecting the Royals and the Prime Minister are being armed with ‘baby’ guns in a bid to recruit more women officers to the role.

Often seen as a ‘girl’ gun in the hands of female detectives in TV programmes like CSI Miami and Criminal Minds, the Baby Glock is smaller, lighter and easier to use for those with smaller hands.

If you can’t shoot a Glock 17, you aren’t going to be able to shoot a Glock 26.  Giving the women the option of the G26 as their primary gun is a mistake if you ask me. The G26 is approximately 1.25″ shorter in height, which make make it a bit easier for some of them to hold, but the barrel length is around 1″ shorter on the G26 which isn’t a great when accuracy is paramount.  I’d much rather see them train on both guns, and have the G26 as a backup. Another big downside is the fact that the standard capacity of the G26 is only 10 rounds, compared to 17 rounds for the G17.

From my personal experience, the G26 is much more susceptible to malfunctions; especially when it comes to limp wristing my full size Glocks are a lot more forgiving. Anyone else find this as well?

Finally, I could be wrong, but I doubt there are too many women out there that are thinking to themselves “I’d love to be a police officer… if only the guns held less ammo, and were a bit shorter for my little hands”

Indianapolis, IN - A 39-year-old Delta Airlines flight attendant was arrested today when a loaded semi-automatic handgun was found in her carry-on bag at a security checkpoint.

The 9mm Glock with a full magazine of 10 bullets and a holster were discovered in an interior compartment of Robillard’s bag as it went through x-ray machine at the airport’s Checkpoint A at 6:05 a.m.

Oops!  That would suck if she lost her job all because she forgot to take the gun out.  Or worse, someone else put it there.  At least the two charges they gave her were reasonable, not any “terrorist” crap.

If the charges she received were both misdemeanors, how come she still was taken to jail?

Explode and Jam are two suggestions that google gives:

I’m glad I’ve never had one of my Glocks explode.  I’ve had some jams, but like any Glock owner I always attribute it to limp wristing or ammo.  The design itself is infallible.

In a promo for his new movie “Killers”, Ashton Kutcher has the following video running when connecting to random people on ChatRoulette:

Good to see he has excellent taste in guns. His Glock is definitely a compact model, and by the look of the barrel when it’s pointing at the camera, and the cartridge when he holding it, I’d have to say it’s likely a G23 (.40 caliber).

The gun in the video is likey the one he keeps under his bed, which I blogged about a few days ago HERE.

Officers made the decision that the deer was a public safety issue:

Police reportedly received dozens of complaints from the public after the shooting. Internal affairs investigators will look at whether police followed department regulations and policies regarding taking an animal into protective custody and dealing with an animal that could be injured, police said.
During the incident, police contacted the state Department of Fish & Game, but the warden overseeing the area was more than 30 minutes away, said Fish & Game spokesman Kyle Orr, and the officers thought they had to act sooner than that.

Good call guys.. that deer was a menace!

Wow… once again thank god for cameras.

What you get if you violate all 4 of Jeff Coopers “Rules of Firearm Safety”:

Philip Collopy, 29, a member of a gang in Limerick, Ireland, apparently did not realize his Glock 9mm pistol was loaded when he pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger in front of shocked onlookers.

Collopy, who was aligned to the Keane-Collopy gang in a long-running gangland feud, had emptied the magazine from the handgun, but there was still a bullet in the chamber.

Full Story – HERE

Seeing as he was a member of a gang in Limerick, I figured this post deserved a good related Limerick poem. I failed to come up with anything that didn’t violate the rules of form though (HERE).

Can you guys come up with anything good?

• For those that are not familiar with the late Marine Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper’s rules of firearm safety:

1. All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.)
3. Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges.
4. Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified.

YAWN…

On S&W’s website – HERE

Details in the PDF Brochure – HERE

Someone tell me why I should care about these? They look like a Sigma crossed with a M&P.  Interesting how S&W chose not to design these with removable backstraps.

Maybe the “Self Defense Trigger” (SDT) is the selling point?   Who knows … anything would be an improvement on that scratchy mushy M&P trigger.  The design of this “new” trigger looks the same with the joint right in the middle, so I’m not holding my breath in anticipation of it being awesome.  I’ll hold further judgment until I try it out someday though.

The price is predictable … both have an MSRP of $530

Thanks but no thanks… For now I’ll be sticking with Glock to fulfill my polymer pistol needs.

No surprise that Glock had a great year.

I was surprised to find out at the U.S. headquarters only employs 197 people.  I wonder how many people are employed by the company as a whole?

Jessie Abbate is a free agent.

No longer with Team Glock, the USPSA’s top female shooter is looking for a new gun company sponsor. While Sig and S&W are rumored to be looking at Abbate, no announcement was made at the USPSA Area 6 match.

I am curious why she is no long with Glock.  Could it be that her contract was up, and when she asked for a raise Glock wasn’t interested?

Seems kind of dumb of them to drop a winner, unless she was asking for a ridiculous amount of money.

Anyone know for sure what happened?

I’m not one for putting stickers on my cars, in fact I heat gun even the dealership, factory stickers, and models names off. This is a neat idea though:

There are a couple different variations of it in the thread.  I like this one the best.  A person ended up making a sticker, but in my opinion they just messed it up by picking some dumb logos, not most of the ones shown in the above picture.  I’m not even going to give that sticker the dignity of a link on this blog.

For those that don’t know, it is a parody of this popular bumper sticker:

It’s that time of year again…

For the bi-annual Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot in West Point, KY. Held this year on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of April.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Machine gun shoot, it is legendary for so many reasons. One being the “Night Shoot”:

A search for “knob creek” on youtube will yield hundreds of other epic videos.

My Glock Stock Adapter will be represented there this year, and be in action at position #20 on dual G18 Glocks in the center of the main firing line.

Unfortunately I won’t personally be there. But, I will be posting videos and pictures sometime after the weekend.

I think it’s safe to say that the $10 admission would be money well spent.
