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.

Springfield Armory 1911 Range Officer Champion PI9136L

Our Range Officer Champion is a perfect fit for those looking for a concealable 1911 that wont weigh them down. While a normal, all steel 1911 can weigh over two and a half pounds empty, the 9mm Champion tips the scales at just 31.5 ounces. The .45ACP model weighs in even less at just 30 ounces, thanks to the bigger hole in the barrel. Thats quite a difference when its on the hip all day. While the overall height is the same as that of the Range Officer Operator, the Champion includes a four inch stainless steel match grade barrel as opposed to the Government size five inch barrel. In the Champion, we use a bull barrel fitted to the slide that houses a supported ramp to save wear and tear on the frame over time. As a result, we can use lighter weight forged aluminum for the frame. That helps us shave weight for its intended carry mission. The sights are all business, with a fiber optic up front and a low profile combat sight in the rear that wont snag during the draw. For recoil control and function, we use a dual-spring assembly that allows us to control precisely the recoil impulse in this smaller package, thereby ensuring reliable function with a minimum of fuss to the shooter. The Range Officer Champion is available in 9mm and .45ACP. Both models ship with two magazines, seven rounds each for the .45ACP and nine rounds for the 9MM. Even though the Range Officer Champion is smaller and lighter, you wont have to sacrifice capacity for carry convenience.
