Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new '26X' and '27X' Glock frames?

The '26X' and '27X' are aftermarket Glock frames, pioneered by companies like Nomad Defense and Glock Store. They offer modernized ergonomics with a more rounded profile and improved grip compared to standard Glock frames, while still accepting standard Glock Gen 3-5 internal parts.

Why are the new Glock frames considered better for concealed carry?

These frames provide a fuller grip, enhancing control and reducing muzzle flip, which leads to faster follow-up shots. They also offer better ergonomics for a wider range of hand sizes and often include features like a rail for accessories, addressing a common limitation of standard compact Glocks.

What is the advantage of a shorter barrel/slide with a longer frame?

Guns with shorter barrels and slides but longer, full-contact frames tend to shoot faster by minimizing muzzle flip. While they might have more felt recoil, this design allows for quicker return to the target, making them highly effective for rapid shooting scenarios.

What makes the Luxe Tactical Skyraider optic stand out?

The Luxe Tactical Skyraider optic is praised for its exceptional glass clarity and a crisp, clean dot that is free from blurriness. It's considered by many to offer the best glass, dot, and window quality among current carry optics, even at an affordable price point.
