Replacement parts are inevitable
We all know that Glocks are tough, I won’t say they are the toughest because there are other guns out there that may be as tough, but they are in the top tier of firearms. We know that everyone likes to talk and argue about all of the flaws in firearms and which guns are more reliable than others. Some handguns are meant for concealment and are not combat worthy and aren’t expect to put 500rds through them without cleaning to function flawlessly.
The reality for all firearms, though, is they all will jam or break at some point. All barrels wear out, all springs weaken, all extractors will eventually wear and break and so will firing pins. If you are a Glock owner, storing a few extra Glock Parts may be a good idea. You have a combat worth firearm that is meant for brutal use, but having recoil springs, magazine springs, firing pins and extractors in your range bag or in your home is a good idea. Learn to assemble and disassemble your handgun and you’ll know how to do your own gunsmithing and repairs yourself. Glocks may be one of the easiest guns to maintain and that also means replacing the parts.
The 4904 Cargo pants were originally designed for operators that migth be in the seated position and find it easier to pull a wallet or accessory from an ankle pocket rather than reach into hand pockets. Try sitting in a car and pull your keys out of your pocket, then try them from your ankle if you had a pocket down there. We have mostly 4904 OD Green pants at a blowout deal for $25.00 a pair, we do have a few Khaki and Black pants left but not many.
Uncle Mikes holsters have been around for a long time and I know some people have it in for them because they aren’t very expensive and many of them are made out of Nylon. After being in the gun industry for so many years, I’m starting to be amazed at the number of people I have respect for that are walking around with 38 Specials and 32ACP pocket guns and believe me, they aren’t underpowered. The experts don’t always carry the most expensive holsters and gear, sometimes they just use when is neccessary and don’t waste money.
Eotac is about to launch their first run on their 702 Lightweight tactical pants for women. For women that work in the security forces or for law enforcement, this will be something to get your hands on. Many women working in this line of work usually are forced to find men’s tactical clothing that fits them well enough to get through the day. We’ve heard from a lot of women that wore other tactical women’s pants and the complaints are still coming in.
There is no need to trash people that are using inferior optics. Somtimes a $100 scope that holds zero is all that is needed and long range shooting isn’t a reality. Plenty of people get there kicks out of inexpensive optics and aren’t concerned about how bright their optics are or if they’ll hold up to thousands of rounds. Most optics that cost $200-$300 are probable all you need for most hunting, plinking purposes and some manufacturers make some great optics in that price range. There are levels of gear though and there is a certain point that you have to realize that your gear isn’t up to par.
Pennyslvania is one of the largest gun owners States in the Country. It amazes most people to hear something like that because it’s not viewed as one of the most rugged places in the Country, but the reality is PA has the 2nd largest number of NRA members, 2nd Largest number of gun shows in the Country and it is home of some of the most Pro-Gun Blue Dog Democrats in the Country. The majority of Pennsylvanias political squabbles revolve around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
We’ve all heard about how the 1911 isn’t as reliable as a Glock, but firearm reliability has increased for just about every semi-auto that is in production these days. Guns that were made 50-80yrs ago are manufactured better, magazines have become more reliable and ammunition is far more reliable now than it was even 30yrs ago. When using a semi-auto, we have to think about the purpose for it and what we think we need in a certain situation. I love the people that think they are going to fight off 50 bad guys with there Glock, but the reality is that if you think you are going into that bad of a situation, bring a rifle.
Reasons for wearing gloves are as numerous as reasons people wear a shirt, pants, vests or jacket. We have jeans and sneakers for one situation and a suit and tie for others. A citizen carrying a gun won’t want to look like a Cop and everyone knows that Police wear uniforms most of the time. Gloves can be used to keep hands warm in the Fall, and other gloves are heavier for Winter weather. Tactical gloves can mean fingerless gloves, but fingerless gloves might be hunting gloves.
Eotac has several pants styles that may look like 5.11 knock offs or something that you thought you saw coming from Woolrich Elite a few years ago, but the reality is you will feel the difference in manueverability and flexability when you’re wearing them. We had a few customers say they preferred a competitors pants since they had more room in them for sitting and kneeling, but the reality is Eotac Pants were stitched and designed so the pants move with the body and they were designed for operators that are getting off the ground and working from standing, kneeling and squatting. Think about all of the firing positions an operator with a Carbine can get in, now try doing that with Levi’s jeans, 5.11 pants, Woolrich Elite and then try it with the Eotac Pants and get back to us.
