Handguns Descriptions
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.

Howa M1500 HS Carbon Fiber
Weight savings from using a carbon fiber barrel is indisputable. Take any steel barrel of the same length, even if it has a smaller contour, and the carbon fiber barrel will be lighter. Steel barrels with very narrow contours can weigh as much, or less, than a carbon fiber barrel. Steel barrels will almost always be shorter, but come at the cost of some velocity. If you want regular barrel lengths with minimum weight, carbon fiber is the best way to go.
