This video introduces the Recover Tactical 2020 Pistol Brace Stabilizer Kit, designed for over 40 Glock models chambered in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG that feature a rail. The kit includes a collapsible brace, a proprietary holster compatible with the brace and Glocks, and an enhanced charging handle. It also offers an optional lower charging handle or the ability to charge the firearm using an optic. The product is highlighted for its compatibility with compensators and other front-mounted accessories.

This video explores the nuances of Glock trigger designs, specifically comparing a 'defined wall' trigger with a 'rolling brake' prototype from Tactical Trigger. The speaker, Joel Park, details his experience swapping triggers between a Glock 47 with a Tactical Trigger and another with an Apex Trigger. He highlights the subjective nature of trigger preference, discussing how different trigger types suit various shooting styles, such as 'prep and press' versus a single-motion pull.

This video compares the Apex Tactical trigger and a generic "Tactical Trigger" for Glocks, focusing on trigger feel and break characteristics. The speaker, an experienced firearms instructor, details the differences between a rolling brake (Apex) and a trigger with a defined wall (Tactical Trigger). He emphasizes that trigger preference is subjective and discusses his preferred method of trigger manipulation, which involves a single, continuous press once the sights are on target. The video also touches on the variability of Glock triggers and the impact of swapping components.

Kevin Brittingham from Q discusses his top five firearms for suppressed shooting, emphasizing ease of use, quiet operation, and effectiveness. The list includes the classic MP5, versatile .22 pistols and rifles, the potent .300 Blackout (especially in bolt-action platforms), and the cutting-edge .8.6 Blackout. Honorable mentions cover 9mm handguns and the HK Mark 23.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a thick, 3/4-inch ballistic polycarbonate face shield against various calibers, including .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, .44 Magnum, .223/5.56, 12 gauge slug, and .450 Bushmaster. The shield successfully stopped the .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP rounds, showing significant deformation but no full penetration. However, it failed to stop the .44 Magnum, .223/5.56, 12 gauge slug, and .450 Bushmaster, with projectiles passing through the shield.

This video discusses aftermarket triggers for firearms, specifically focusing on striker-fired platforms. The speaker highlights the Elfman trigger as the best AR trigger available, preferring single-stage designs for their simplicity and effectiveness. While acknowledging older Gley triggers, the speaker notes that newer brands like TriggerTech offer superior performance, particularly in terms of short travel, crisp break, and exceptionally short reset, surpassing stock triggers from Glock, M&P, and Sig Sauer.

This video showcases a novel magnetic optic mount for pistols, demonstrating its quick attachment and detachment capabilities. The speaker tests its retention by racking the slide, highlighting its potential as a firearm innovation. While initially shown on a Glock, the mount is available for other platforms like Sig Sauer and HK.

This guide covers the basic operation and features of the EOTECH OGL, a compact laser aiming device. It highlights the interface controls, including the activation button and the illuminator adjustment lever, and explains the benefit of co-aligned visible and IR lasers for simplified zeroing. The use of VCSEL technology is also noted.

This entry details the innovative Full Conceal M1 system for the Sig P320 and a prototype Folding Glock 19, both designed for enhanced concealability. The M1 system, priced at $899, integrates an 18+1 capacity with a smartphone-like footprint and active retention. The Folding Glock 19 prototype showcases a unique mechanism for rapid deployment from a compact state, utilizing a 23-round 9mm magazine. Expert insights from Chris Tran (Guns & Tactics Magazine) and Mike (Full Conceal) highlight the technical aspects and practical applications of these designs.

This guide, drawing on expert instruction from UN12 Magazine, details the critical steps for properly installing and maintaining firearm sights. It emphasizes the use of witness marks on red dot sights to ensure screw security and highlights the importance of checking iron sights for mechanical integrity to prevent zero loss. Proper installation and regular checks are vital for all sighting systems.
