This video demonstrates how to install an Aimpoint COA optic onto a Glock MOS or ORS slide using a custom-developed adapter plate. The kit includes a special rear sight and a taller front sight to achieve co-witness capability, offering improved visibility over factory COA sights. The adapter plates are designed for both MOS and Gen 6 ORS footprints, ensuring a secure, wobble-free fit.
This guide details the installation of an Aimpoint COA optic onto Glock MOS and Gen 6 ORS slides using a custom adapter plate and rear sight system developed by GlockStore. The process involves removing the factory rear sight, installing the adapter plate, then mounting a specialized rear sight assembly that captures the optic, allowing for co-witness capability. This solution addresses the previous lack of direct mounting options for the COA optic on these Glock footprints.
This guide details the disassembly and reassembly of the new 15-round Glock 43X magazine. It highlights the difficulty of disassembly due to a stout spring and recommends a specialized tool. The reassembly process emphasizes correctly seating the spring and base plate, noting the need to nose the base plate in first.
This video showcases a rare Glock 17 Gen 5 chambered in 9mm, specifically manufactured for the French Army. It features a unique coyote tan finish, similar to the Glock 19X, and includes military contract identifiers like a lanyard loop and European markings.

This guide details the installation of a Cyro backstrap on a Gen 6 Glock, specifically the Glock 19. The process involves removing the factory trigger housing pin and replacing it with an extended steel pin provided with the Cyro backstrap. This modification aims to increase the grip's circumference and improve shooting comfort by adding material to the rear of the frame, addressing the Gen 6's slimmer grip profile. Two versions of the Cyro backstrap are available: one with shock-absorbing rubber and a plain version.
This video introduces the Glock 49 Gen 6, a model not officially available in the USA. It highlights the unique configuration of a Glock 19-sized grip paired with a Glock 17-sized slide. The presenter, Lenny McGill from GlockStore, explains the advantages for competition shooters and law enforcement, including reduced recoil due to the longer slide and improved concealability and comfort in vehicles due to the shorter grip. The video also touches on the firearm's import status and European proof marks.
