INFORCE APL SALE, 39% OFF ($92)

The popular INFORCE APL (Auto Pistol Light) is currently on sale from Ares Armor at 39% off from their price of $150.  Their version is branded with their logo on the flat opposite the rail and is $92 with the sale.  As of writing, only 286 are in stock remaining.  I have used INFORCE lights in the past and they are outstanding, very bright and with excellent features.

I have the 9vx light and have been seriously considering getting the APL due to its size and bright 200 lumen output.  I was turned on to this light when Snake Hound Machine decided to produce a Glock package utilizing these and I love the look of it mounted.  The profile of the slide matches up with the light shape giving a very neat and clean appearance.  I can't wait to see this light paired up with the Silencerco Osprey, I think that will be quite a pretty package.  I'm going to wait until the end of the month to bite on this one, but I want one despite my intent to also get a Viridian C5L (100 lumen for comparison) if that tells you anything.

Ghost Rocket 3.5lb Trigger Glock Install

Let me start out by saying this loud and clear.  There is nothing wrong with the standard Glock trigger!  They work well and as intended.  Is there room for improvement?  Yes, always!  I personally became curious about a product by Ghost Inc. called the Ghost Rocket 3.5lb with a 'trigger control tab' which is designed to reduce trigger reset travel.  That reduction and the low cost of the accessory made it something I wanted to try out.

Make the jump to go over my review of the installed product.

Making the Gen 3 rival the Gen 4 Glock

I don't want to beat a dead horse with this post.  I own a G22 Gen 3 RTF (Rough Texture Frame).  Gen4 was not available yet when I purchased mine.  I wanted the reduced recoil the new dual-spring guide rod offers, but in my Gen 3.  The new springs are not backward compatible however.  This is my look at how to achieve that reduction in a Gen 3 frame.

Lone Wolf .40-9mm Conversion

I mentioned previously my reasons for choosing a Glock handgun in .40 Cal.  One of those reasons was the ability to cheaply change caliber from .40 Cal to either 9mm or .357SIG.  My wonderful girlfriend purchased the 9mm conversion for me as a Valentines Day gift.  This is my review of it.

Why Glock?

I saw a post on ENDO today that caught my attention.  James Yeager was on youtube giving his opinion that all guns should be Glock 19's, and 1911's are crap.  Check it out and discussion on ENDO here.  I'm not defending Yeager, he has done some questionable things in the past, but must admit the man does have some experience despite presenting it in a terrible fashion.  I have to pick a side and agree that for my own reasons Glock is my choice platform.

Our Valentine

Me and Grace, we are a pair.  She surprised me by paying attention to some gun goodies I've been thinking about for Valentines Day.  I was interested in a Lone Wolf conversion barrel, from .40-9mm.  I have a Glock 22 (.40 Cal) and though I love it the ammo gets pricey.  9mm is just a bit cheaper to shoot and I believe Grace can handle the recoil easier than my .40 cal, which is a bit too snappy in her smallish hands.  So now I have a threaded 9mm barrel just begging for a suppressor ;)  Once I'm on my feet again I'll have to take it to the range and see how well it holds up.
