Frequently Asked Questions

What is the common confusion regarding 'Glock 40'?

Many customers mistakenly believe 'Glock 40' is a specific handgun model. In reality, it refers to the .40 S&W caliber, and Glock has produced various models chambered in this caliber, like the Glock 22, not a singular 'Glock 40' model.

Is it true that Slide Fire stocks turn an AR-15 into a machine gun?

No, the claim that Slide Fire stocks automatically make an AR-15 a machine gun according to the ATF is a misconception. These stocks were legally sold over-the-counter, indicating they did not inherently violate machine gun regulations at the time.

Why is the claim that .22 LR is the deadliest round often inaccurate?

While .22 LR is a common round, the assertion that it has killed more people than any other caliber is statistically dubious. This myth often arises from its popularity and accessibility, not necessarily its effectiveness for self-defense compared to larger calibers.

What dangerous reloading advice was mentioned?

One piece of extremely dangerous advice involved filling a .45 ACP cartridge case completely to the brim with gunpowder. This practice drastically increases pressure, risking a catastrophic firearm failure or 'kaboom' that could injure the shooter.
