Glock 34 Gen 3

Shot this gun today for the first time at the range and I am impressed. The trigger pull on the Glock 34 Gen 3 is set to 4.5 pounds which is just about right for some fun target shooting. The recoil is very light compared to the Glock 17. With the ported slide you have the option of getting a custom ported barrel and help reduce recoil even more. I didn't have time to mess around with the adjustable rear sights so I can't really comment on how much that plays into being on target. My only qualm with shooting this gun was that a few casing hit me right in the forehead as if they were being ejected straight back. Next step will be taking this to a steel target match to really see its true colors.

Butler Creek Universal Pistol Loader

Big into semi auto pistols? Why yes I am but I hate loading the magazines because they are so damn tight! Enter the Butler Creek pistol loader, it works with 9mm to .45 acp. This little device makes loading pistol magazines nice and easy while still a tedious task it will cut down on time and pain. The build quality on these are great, nice hard plastic and metal parts that should last forever. You can find these at most gun shops or Amazon.com for around $25 to $30. I know my thumbs appreciated this purchase.
