Simple as the platforms are, many Glock owners take a lot of pride in personalizing and upgrading your handguns. Perhaps it is expressly because of how simplistic and plain Glocks are from the factory. These things don’t even have safeties. And, on that note, one of the best upgrades nearly any shooter can make is with a compensator for a Glock. Here’s what to know. Hold Up: What’s a Compensator? A compensator, also known as a comp (and called a muzzle brake when mounted to a rifle), is a muzzle device that redistributes gasses vented at the muzzle with the…

Not all muzzleloaders are compatible with muzzleloader muzzle brakes. With that said, there are some muzzleloaders out there with threaded barrels, like the CVA Accura and Paramount, which can accept them. That begs the question – what muzzle devices make the most sense? Well, brakes are a good one, and here are two good reasons to install one if you have one of these rifles. Recoil Reduction As with any muzzle brake, a muzzleloader muzzle brake will cut back on felt recoil. This isn’t a huge deal with most muzzleloaders since black powder (and substitutes) have a very slow deflagration…

Pretty much every other trigger on the market operates on the principle of sliding friction; the trigger bar rests against the sear until such point that adequate force is applied to displace it and the trigger breaks. This has been the technology that has been used in trigger assemblies since time immemorial; the thing is, it’s not ideal. TriggerTech Triggers are the solution to sliding friction, and offer much more added value on top of that. Here’s what to know about the issues of sliding friction and how TriggerTech performs better. Why Sliding Friction Is a Problem The biggest problem…

You’ve heard of length of pull and know how much of a difference it can make in whether a gun “fits” you or not – but have you given any thought to comb height and the issue of parallax distortion? If not, and you’re having a hard time sighting in, well, maybe you need to consider it. Here’s what to know. What Is Parallax Distortion When you look through a scope at an angle, whether it’s from the left or right, the crosshair may shift its apparent attitude. This is called parallax distortion, and when it does occur, the reticle…

One look at a Glock 20 and you might think you’re looking at any other Glock. But there’s a big difference between the G20, and say, another common Glock like a G19 or a G20. The Glock 20 is chambered in 10mm Auto, a cartridge which, if you’re not currently familiar, delivers formidable firepower downrange, far in excess of cartridges like 9mm and .380. Let’s put it this way: 10mm Auto produces between 10 and 12 ft-lbs of energy, depending on load data. That doesn’t sound like a lot, until you realize that 9mm produces between 4 and 8. That…

Many modern muzzleloaders come with fiberglass ramrods, and some traditional, wood-stocked sidelocks still come with conventional wooden muzzleloader ramrods. There’s just one thing. These are categorically inferior to aluminum muzzleloader ramrods, and the price points of each are comparable. The truth is, a hardwood ramrod might even cost more than a modern aluminum alternative. Let’s take a look at why aluminum is the better option, period. The Problems of Wood and Fiberglass This article may catch a lot of flak from the die-hard, buckskin-wearing, holy-black-shooting flintlock lovers out there. Muzzleloader hunters are among the most incorrigible traditionalists in the world,…

Back in the day, muzzleloader hunters weren’t shooting much beyond sidelocks and patched round balls. Nowadays, we have advanced, in-line ignition systems and saboted spitzer bullets with ballistic tips. The whole outfit smacks of centerfire technology almost more than it looks like a muzzleloader. In that vein, we have Thor muzzleloader bullets, which represents substantial innovation and technological progress in the muzzleloader industry. And you can like them (or hate them, if you’re a traditionalist) but they perform as they say they will. Here are the things that, in a nutshell, make these muzzleloader bullets just better. Better Gas Seal,…

Traditional muzzleloaders, and nearly all sidelocks, are made with wood stocks. There are some good reasons for this. Wood is strong, wood is resilient, and it is very versatile. Moreover, muzzleloading is steeped in tradition and wood is the traditional material that’s been used to make muzzleloader stocks for hundreds of years. But, believe it or not, we are rapidly approaching the era in which all of the conceivable virtues of wood stand to be entirely eclipsed by synthetics. Yes, this means a synthetic muzzleloader stock like a Grayboe Eagle is better than whatever wood stock came with yours. This…
