Hexmag What makes an excellent mag?

Today we heard from the guys over at Hexmag about what makes their mags the best in the industry. John and Glen went over their criteria for an effective magazine. Number one, the magazeine must reliably feed ammunition into the weapon system. Number 2, it has to look cool while doing it. Hexmags manage to do both of those thing and do them really well. They are the first fully customizable magazine on the market and well worth taking a look at.

Red Dot Glocks

Today we had our good friend Russell in the studio to talk with us about the use of red dot Glocks and their use. Glen chimed in with his experiences from his recent class with Suarez International about Red Dot Glocks. Some major concensus seemed to be that red dots on pistols work great for certain people and not so great for others. People with vision trouble should look into putting a red dot on their pistol. Be sure to join us next show as we will have the guys from HexMag on to talk with us about what makes a great magazine.

Line Gear

Today the topic of discussion was Line Gear and what goes into it. We opened by talking about building your line gear based around your skill set. Its all well and good to have a ton of high speed gear set up for use but if don't know how to use it, it won't do a lot of good. Its also important to train with the gear you plan on using so you know what works and what does not. Lastly we finished up by talking about what gear should actually go into your line gear. Be sure to join us next show to hear from Glen and Russell about red dot Glocks.
