LMAO… I wish this were just a prototype trollcessory:
The TacticSkin Slide Cover is an Unprecedented Revolutionary Upgrade for Your Glock Handgun.
Providing You with the Ability to Customize your Glock slide Visibility while Allowing Enhanced Tactical Performance and Versatility.
(Fab Defense – Source)
LOL “unprecedented revolutionary upgrade”…. “Allowing Enhanced Tactical Performance and Versatility”… oh god I’m dying over here LOLOL.
Gaston Glock is alive and kicking… but if he ever sees this I’m sure he will die, roll over in his grave, then resurrect and burn FAB Defense to the ground.
If you have a shooting buddy who buys one of these, I think it’s time for an ultimatum “Me or the tactical derp cover, your choice.”. Who needs friends who think this is a good idea anyway?
The price? It doesn’t say, but who really cares? Even if they were giving them away, the space it would take up in my garbage can is worth too much.
Thoughts?
JUMP DOWN ↓ TO ADD ANOTHER
I’ll take 2.
Lol you would matt ! That shit it tactical as fuck .
And then I’ll pose in the ENDO NY Reload shirt. It will be glorious.
Matt, PLEASE PLEASE make a video about these things and if they stand up to some of the other tests that a stock Glock can.
I’m sure it would be hilarious.
Glocks don’t need no protection. Yeah baby they like it raw.
Just ordered two on amazon. Free shipping. GOML bitches.
this would be a welcome change from the food videos!
Half of the sights are blocked out by that thing. They could have at least marketed it as a product that helps provide more leverage to rack the slide for those with weak hands or something.
guess i better get this for my glock…or ill die
Might get some yellow ones to put on Simunition guns. About the only useful thing I can thing of
I was looking at this and thinking “why the hell would anyone need that thing?” but then Mattv is in so I’m in… hells yeah
this is where the rubber meets the choad.
So your telling me that you’d need a custom holster made to even carry it with the slide condom.
G19/17 will fit in a g20/21 holster
OK, so your new holster doesn’t have to be custom. Still has to be new, as in have to purchase something new to go with your something new.
Matt, I see you’re hiding from TTAG’s new look here too huh?
Well, I think I’ve been “too vocal” in my response to it, to the point of likely being ignored.
Sure is ugly, though. I’m hoping the delay in fixing it is because Nick’s at work.
Yea its very BRIGHT.
You Glockers have finally lost your damn minds…
It comes in colors, so you can accessorize!
From the site, “Allows Proper Heat Dissipation”
You know what else allows proper heat dissipation? Not putting a wrapper on your gun.
BTW, they’re $30 on Amazon.
Mattv2099, I can’t wait to see you actually using them, if you really did order them.
Ordered two. Couldn’t resist. Have the amazon app. Buying that shit is just one click.
I also have the jef foxworthy iScope.
Matt, can you plug your Turtle beach operator headphones into the cover somehow? I don’t think enough people notice that you are wearing gaming headphones to shoot.
Heh, I noticed as well, but I think you’re right, most people don’t.
Gotta wrap it up before you do the deed.
That is some dumb shit right there. I wonder how long it’ll take to see someone show up to the range with one.
I’ll show up at a tactical response class with one.
rofl
Not long, people are buying them.
the red or yellow would be useful for getting the drop on someone who didn’t realize it was a real-live gun. if only there were an orange tip…
Honestly, they should have just sold them as covers to signify that you have practice/non lethal rounds in them. That would have been a better business plan
That is what they are, but it turns out a lot of people want them just to have them.
The description is written by a marketing company and translated to english, so . . .
lol
you are going to need to get a cover that matches your iphone case and purse. iphone case for your glock ftw.
a rubber condom on a gun….wtf
Well you really only need it if you aren’t shooting blanks.
My G-20 is fine as it is, thank you! Has not needed a condom since back in the late 80’s!
NEVA BIN DUN BEFO!!!
Horrible… I can see gangsters buying these so that they don’t leave prints on their drop weapons or something. Like, if you stippled the whole thing?
Standby for Costa Ludus ribbed for your pleasure gun covers
Whoever you are, please do not post using our company name.
hahah I thought he worked for you guys, he has literally been posting on here for a few years!
Only five colors available?
Dammit. At least 7 or no sale.
“the space it would take up in my garbage can is worth too much.”
Heard that, real estate is a bitch.
anything that offers a chance of making a glock less ugly is a good thing.
A) gangstas can get these in gang colors!
B) Costa said this works because it pulls the slide away from the barrel a little to enhance lead flow, a lot like the C()ck Tape Costa runs.
Are people throwing their Glocks through their TV screens? That’s why the Wii controller got rubber covers and lanyard loops standardized.
what’s the advantage over grip tape?
If you’re going for laughs, grip tape just won’t cut it.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a really low cost, low profile, high-traction adhesive material which you could put on your slide to enhance the grip? We could call it “Grip Tape” and sell it everywhere.
Solution to problem: Pancake handshake. Or Glockcake handshake. Whichever works best when you need to cycle that action.
From the FAB link, “Sweaty Palms Conditions”
These were designed just to allow an overseas LE agency to ID friend or foe in force-on-force training, and to indicate a pistol loaded with training or less lethal munitions.
It turns out some of the competition shooters liked them, so we tested the market and found that lots of shooters wanted them for modifying the look of their Glocks. People are buying them to paint so they don’t have to permanently paint their slides.
For most people, it is a fun accessory, not a serious one.
Make one in pink.
RICK TAYLOR ENDORSES THIS!!
It’s bad enough that the fags at MAKO pretend that they arent just a distributor of other companies products but they don’t have the brains to write their own market materials!
MAKOSUCKS
What are you talking about? We are the US representative and importer for FAB Defense, Meprolight, Front Line, and E-Lander.
We don’t hide this, and a quick look at our website or catalog shows information on all of these companies.
We write our own marketing materail because the US market is much different from overseas markets. This is why our product descriptions are written differently from FAB’s.
Your product materials say otherwise. On your pathetic Amazon page http://www.amazon.com/The-Mako-Group/pages/3044824011/ you show the FAB Defense logo in your pictures but make NO MENTION of FAB in any of the product names or descriptions.
Basically YOU LIE, claim credit for others work but NEVER bother to properly write marketing materials for Americans. And you blame FAB for the poor translations “The description is written by a marketing company and translated to english, so . . ..”
You are despicable!
We have never claimed credit for anyone else’s work, and Amazon is a dealer of the products we import. We sell to them, but can’t control how our dealers advertise our products. Many dealers list our products under the Mako name since they set up their systems based on suppliers, and some have even listed other products under our name, or Mepro products as FAB products, since they are supplied from the same place. We have no control over this.
If you even bothered to look at this product on our website, you would see that the description is totally different from the description on FAB’s website that was quoted and linked to in this thread. FAB’s description is designed for a different market.
I find your website to be misleading too! It’s a good thing that there are so many other companies that deal in FAB Defense’s high quality products or I wouldn’t buy them.
If it says MAKO, STAY AWAY!
Sure, it is easy to make vague statements, like, “Your website is misleading,” without giving any specifics. If there is a mistake in a product description, feel free to contact me and I will make sure it get’s changed. Otherwise, this is obviously just a couple trolls, or maybe just one using different names trying to give us a bad name.
Anyone else in the US who sells FAB accessories purchases them from Mako, or imports them illegally, and we would just as soon you support our dealers anyway – in fact, we recommend that you buy FAB products from your local dealer or from any of our other dealers throughout the US.
Hahahahahaha!
“Imports them illegally” So now MAKO controls the internet? Has exclusive rights to ebay? Rules over Amazon?
Keep making stupid comments. It only makes you look even dumber!
The state department and the ATFE controls importation of what they consider to be firearm parts. This includes a lot of accessories that really should not be controlled as firearms parts. Without the right paperwork, it is not legal to import the accessories into the US, for an individual as well as a business. Also, FAB is very strict about importers and distributors covering only their assigned areas, for example, as soon as there was an importer set up in Canada, we no longer sold any FAB products in Canada, and instead assist the Canadian company to sell FAB products there.
Who owns the MAKO store on amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/The-Mako-Group/pages/3044824011/
Why are all the FAB Defense items listed as MAKO?
Isn’t that more of MAKO’s lies?
Amazon runs it. They list the products that way because they buy them from us. Many other distributors do the same, such as Midway USA, Brownells, RSR, etc. Their inventory systems are set up to list the products under the names of their suppliers, not necessarily the manufacturer. It is unlikely that we will see this changed – most distributors don’t se it as an important issue, even when we ask them to change it. In fact, we have dropped some products in the past that were non-FAB (and not even Mako) products because distributors and dealers listed them as FAB products or as Mako products in a way that caused confusion for our customers.
For example, look at that link that you posted – there are a number of products there that Amazon does not get from Mako, yet they list them as Mako products – the magnifiers used to be a Mako product, but we discontinued them years ago, yet they are still listed as Mako products. The self-healing target base (says “ships and sold by Optics Planet”) was a product made by FAB that we marketed in the US, with LE targets being the largest of our distributors for those targets, yet several years ago LE targets was given exclusive distributorship of that target system and they are the current supplier. Other products like the shotgun barrel clamp thingy are not even our products (click it and you will see it is sold by Global Sportsman through Amazon). Other products say ships and sold by Amazon.com.
It is pretty low to pretend that we are lying by continually quoting some of our customer’s advertising, which we have no control over.
Why does no one reference OUR website, where each category is listed under the name of each manufacturer?
My turn to post a link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_4_96/151676_AK_Underfolder_to_Side_Folder_Conversion_Adapter___AKMS.html
Do the photos I posted there look like we are trying to lie about who manufactured the product?
How about linking to what we post instead of third parties? I guess that would defeat the dishonest point you are trying to make . . .
FAB DEFENSE OR MAKO, ALL GREAT STUFF MADE IN ISRAEL
BY PEOPLE WHO CARE TO MAKE SUPERIOR PRODUCT FIRST,
THAN WORRY ABOUT TRASH TALKERS ON THE INTERNET.
They just trolls buddy. Reading the comments, it’s clear which is the doosh and which is the respectable businessperson. Keep doing your thing.
ITrolls are internet bully with a small duck and brain to go with it. There everywhere, doesn’t matter the format. There’s no point in justifying your opinion over theirs. Don’t waste your time.
……dang! I just did……
