#Glock17

If you’re one of hundreds to thousands of gun owners who are on the Glock bandwagon while rockin’ a micro red dot, Galco sees you and they want to sell you a holster. The Galco Waistband IWB (Inside-the-Waistband) Holster is now available for the Glock G17 with or without a micro red dot.

Keeping their word, Backup Tactical continues to release the new product lines they promised for 2023. They have already launched their Perfect Fit PROComps for the SIG P320 Compact and Full-Size models, and the Glock 19/17 and related models. Today, Backup Tactical is excited to announce new +4 and +5 Glock magazine extensions for Glock models 17/22 and 19/23, made from CNC machined aluminum and anodized in a variety of colors. These new mag extensions can breathe fresh life into some of your aging OEM Glock mags. 

TFB’s Photo Of The Day tries to push the excellent work done by so many photographers around the world and in the firearms industry. It’s a celebration of those who go in harm’s way trying to catch those special moments for us, but also those who stay in the studio working out the perfect lighting and setting hour after hour. Armed with skills, cameras and sometimes a fair bit of post-editing here is where their hard work ends up.

After seeing a considerable number of Colt Canada C7 rifles and C8 carbines being used in Ukraine, I decided to investigate their origins reaching out to various Ministries of Defense to enquire if they had provided the rifles. The Canadian Ministry of National Defence not only confirmed that they had provided various small arms but their spokesperson was also kind enough to confirm some of the types of small arms and light weapons which Canada has transferred to Ukraine since February. 

Denmark is pretty flat, as you can see from the shooting range below.

An Argentinian company called  CAT Aiming Devices has developed a magnetic mounting system that allows attaching reflex sights to pistols without a need for an optics-ready slide. This may sound like not quite a reliable solution, however, the system does not rely only on the strength of its built-in magnet. Let’s take a closer look.

Glock 17 and 19 pistols are still extremely popular choices for daily carry duty despite the absolutely vast amount of new options there are currently on the market. F.A.B. Defense specializes in high-quality polymer aftermarket parts for both pistols and rifles and has just announced their latest addition to their product lineup. The new Ultimag from F.A.B. Defense gives Glock 17 and 19 users one additional round of capacity over factory Glock magazines in an affordable package that comes with a few extra pieces to help make the mag more useful over a standard one.

I have to admit to being a bit of a Radian fanboy. The Raptor charging handle is second to none in my opinion, and I have one in each of my ARs at home. It looks like there might be two more Radian products coming to my personal guns, the Ramjet barrel, and Afterburner micro-compensator.

The Swedish Security Service has chosen Glock as a supplier for their duty pistols. This means that the current SIG Sauers will be replaced by various 9mm Glocks. The approved and chosen models are the Glock 17, 19 and the sub-compact 43X, but there are no details as to which generation. The Swedish Police have been testing no less than twelve different pistols, but earlier this year the Swedish Security Service, which is independent of the Police, left the specific evaluation to continue on their own. The result is now official.

It’s that time of the year again when some of the best sniper teams in the world gather to compete in the European Best Sniper Team Competition. Above you can spot a Lithuanian soldier as he scans a field for targets in a downed aircraft. The pictures are taken in Hohenfels Training Area, Germany.

Welcome to Your Gun’s Extended Warranty 1. Here we’re going to focus on specific firearms, their range essentials, their care as well as tips and tricks that have been learned from both official armorers as well as gunsmiths and experienced shooters. We will go over in detail what types of tools we recommend, links to where you can get them, what works and what hasn’t worked for us, and share lessons learned from our past mistakes.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is where you can discover the World of firearms through the camera lens. Every day we run a new theme, a few selected pictures, and a short story and credit to the person behind the lens. Today we’re looking at some photos from 2013, from when the Norwegian Defense decided to establish a Special Forces unit only consisting of females. At the time, 2000 females were invited to apply to the unit. It was reported then to be the world’s first all-female special forces unit. The unit is called Jegertroppen (translated: Hunter Troop) and you can find their recruiting homepage here.

Tyrant Designs has been busting out the aftermarket accessories this year and has just released their latest set of precision CNC machined pistol parts. The Tyrant Designs Glock 17 Gen 3 Magwell has a couple of new features like their custom crosshair patterned screws, and compatibility for Generations 3 through 5 of Glock’s 17, 22, 31, 34, 35, and 45 handguns. The new Tyrant Designs Glock 17 Gen 3 Magwell is available now for $69.95 from the Tyrant Designs website. Color options include black, red, gray, blue, gold, and machined aluminum. The colors for the crosshair patterned mounting screws are either black or gold.

At the beginning of the past year, we reported about the French Army’s adoption of the Glock G17 Gen5 as their new service pistol with an order of about 75,000 handguns placed. Well, Glock suggests its customers “follow the choice of the French Army” by offering a limited edition civilian version of this handgun called G17 Gen5 FR Coyote. This variation of the fifth-generation Glock 17 pistol can be found only on the company’s European website which makes this author think that this pistol is not available in the USA at least by the moment of writing this article. Let’s take a closer look.
