Grip Force - Ergonomic Base Pad Review

This video reviews the new 15-round steel magazines for the Glock 43X and Glock 48. The presenter highlights the increased capacity compared to the original 10-round magazines and notes the steel-lined construction. While the magazines are longer, they are confirmed to seat properly with the slide closed and are designed to aid in stripping the magazine if a double feed occurs.

This video demonstrates a capacity upgrade for the Glock 26 using an SLR Rifleworks baseplate, achieving 15+1 rounds of 9x19 ammunition. The presenter highlights how this modification provides Glock 19-level capacity in a smaller firearm package, comparing it favorably to the Glock 19, 43X, and 48. The presenter also expresses a general fondness for subcompact Glock models like the 26, 27, 28, 33, and 39.

This video introduces the Sig Sauer P365 Flux, nicknamed the 'Spider Monkey,' a modular firearm system that converts a P365 pistol into a pistol caliber carbine (PCC) style platform. The presenter highlights its potential for improved accuracy and ease of use, especially for those less experienced with handguns, by providing a stable shooting platform. The review covers its innovative design, extended magazine capabilities, and performance at various distances, including a 100-yard test.

This video demonstrates the popular 'Glock 26x' concept, which involves mating a Glock 26 subcompact slide with a full-sized grip achieved through extended magazines and grip sleeves. The creator, GHG HUSSLE, highlights how this modification enhances grip comfort and capacity, effectively turning the subcompact into a more versatile firearm. The showcase emphasizes practical customization for improved handling.

The Pivot is a unique firearm that transforms from a pistol-like grip to a rifle configuration with a collapsible stock. Its primary advantage is its exceptionally thin profile when folded, allowing for discreet carry in smaller bags compared to traditional AR-15 platforms with folding mechanisms. While its compactness when folded is a key selling point, the overall folded size is noted as a potential drawback. The firearm accepts Glock magazines and features M-LOK and Picatinny rails for accessories, along with a threaded barrel.

This video provides an in-depth review of various base plates for Glock subcompact models (26, 27, 33, 39). The instructor, a self-proclaimed connoisseur of these firearms, evaluates base plates based on added capacity, recoil reduction, ergonomics, concealability, and durability. He highlights specific brands like Milspin, NDZ Performance, Barracuda Tactical, Pierce, Henning Group, and SLR Rifle Works, offering insights into their performance and aesthetic qualities.

Lucas Botkin, founder of T.Rex Arms, shares his expert insights on optimizing carbine builds based on extensive round counts. He details his philosophy on barrel length versus optic choice, preferring red dots for shorter barrels and magnification for longer ones. Botkin also discusses preferences for muzzle devices, foregrips, lights, lasers, and triggers, emphasizing reliability and simplicity for high-volume use.

This video details a critical incident during a firearms class where a custom-built pistol, featuring numerous aftermarket parts, experienced unintended discharges. The instructors meticulously troubleshoot the issue, identifying tolerance stacking and specific magazine fit as the likely culprits. They emphasize the importance of testing aftermarket components and the potential pitfalls of combining non-OEM parts.

This video discusses the practical considerations of Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) with firearms instructor Nick Young. Key takeaways include the benefits of SBRs for suppressor use, the legal complexities involving ATF travel paperwork, and the potential reliability issues and increased violence in shorter-barreled platforms. The discussion also touches on the importance of proper buffer systems and the tendency for 'Franken-guns' to fail in training.

Hwansik Kim explains his 'No Friction Grip' technique, developed to maintain control in adverse conditions like sweaty hands or rain. The method emphasizes specific pressure points, particularly using the support hand's index finger on the trigger guard and the top knuckles of the support hand on the firing hand. This technique aims to minimize reliance on grip enhancers and provide consistent control through recoil by creating a stable platform without excessive friction.
