Frequently Asked Questions

What are Pierce grip adapters for Glock magazines?

Pierce grip adapters replace the factory base plate on Glock magazines. They fill the gap at the front of the grip frame, providing a more comfortable full grip and preventing the pinky finger from getting pinched during reloads.

What is the purpose of a frame plug for a Glock?

A frame plug for a Glock firearm fills the opening at the rear of the grip frame. This helps prevent dirt and debris from entering the firearm and can sometimes incorporate a lanyard loop or a button for specific plug designs.

Are factory Glock cases worth buying?

Yes, factory Glock cases are often inexpensive and come with useful accessories like a magazine loader compatible with multiple calibers (9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG) and a stiff nylon cleaning brush, making them a good value for range use.

Can you convert a Glock 23 to shoot 9mm?

Yes, you can convert a Glock 23 to shoot 9mm by using a 9mm conversion barrel and 9mm magazines. However, ensure the conversion barrel is properly fitted, as ill-fitting barrels can cause cycling issues and damage.
