Handguns Descriptions

38 AMU

About The .38 AMU Ammo is a special cartridge modified by machining the rim and inserting it in an extension groove to make it semi-rimless to achieve better functionality. The original intention was to improve the .38 AMU Ammo's accuracy in the .38 Caliber Ammo so that it could compete in the NRA Precision Pistol matches and meet their specific requirements. Since the competition format is a sustained fire stage, the capacity of the pistol or revolver needs to contain at least five rounds. The larger bore of the .38 AMU Ammo is desirable over the .32 Caliber Ammo since the bigger the size, the higher the chance of nailing more points to win the competition. This bullet was designed to solve the jamming problems in the modified Colt M1911 pistols through its semi-rimless version of .38 Caliber Ammo. Manufacturer Herman Gano designed the .38 AMU Ammo, and the prototype was developed by Federal, Winchester-Western, and Remington. Uses Due to its big-bore creating a bigger hole in the targets and high accuracy, the .38 AMU Ammo was very popular in competitive target shooting.

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.
