We went to GunCon 2025…it…was an event I will say that. Was it fun? Sure. Did it have a good chunk of issues? You bet. There was a little bit of drama. It was 90 degrees inside, and 1000 people, so it was toasty. Now, apparently, they were told it was good for 2500 people inside the building…the fire marshal disagreed with that big time. There were a couple of people kicked out, including the Missouri Attorney General, for having different values from the property owner. The event has been awesome, but this year it was at a new location in a new state, and it had its flaws. It has the potential to get back to glory, but they have to get the miscommunication under control. It was not just to the vendors but from the venue to the guys running the show. It was a rough one, but it was still a success, I believe.

Now, outside of all that, it was a blast meeting everyone who came through. Anytime we can showcase what we do to new people, it is one of my favorite things about working here.

I think with a better location to accommodate the 2500 people, not just in space but in climate, additional vendors as well as bigger vendors, and you have the recipe for a really sweet event.

Our booth was simple and to the point, and having done it, I know what we could do to make it even better. We had some demos of our SSTAT Triggers, we had our slides and barrels. This was fantastic but it lead to alot of people thinking this was all we did as a company. Going forward hopefully we can get some sort of line card going to show everything we do, maybe monitors showing our youtube and laser services.

We did get to see some of our friends at vendor booths!

We just got in the new Glock trigger from TriggerTech. This trigger is supposed to change the game for the Glock guys. Triggertech spent a good chunk of time developing and testing this new trigger from the ground up. No taking an existing system and seeing what was an easy upgrade, that’s all been done.

They have created a system that might become the standard like Apex did for the M&P. This system has been designed to eliminate the rolling and mushy feel leading up to the break on Glock triggers. TriggerTech claims these changes result in a cleaner break and more consistent reset, while retaining all factory safeties.

We just got them in, hopefully we can grab one for ourselves and give it a run!

Have no idea what that is? You are not alone! Pretty rare handgun, but we got our hands on some.

When it comes to everyday carry, the right holster makes all the difference—and Kydex continues to be one of the most popular choices for good reason.
I recently got my hands on a custom-molded holster from BDS Holsters, a local company here in Ohio. This one was built specifically for SCT frame Glock builds and accommodates the AimSurplus JTT Comp, which can be tricky to fit in most off-the-shelf options. BDS nailed the retention and profile without adding bulk, and the comp clears with no issue.
The fit is solid, the draw is smooth, and it rides right where I want it. Whether you’re hitting the range or just going about your day, this thing does its job without fuss.
Sometimes simple is all you need—especially when it’s built right the first time. Interested in one? Contact Tom at [email protected] or hit him up on Facebook.

We just got in a new variant of the Night Stalker lineup from Tisas. This one is a single-stack 9mm with a big surprise at the end of the slide.

You may notice something familiar in this issue of Recoil.

Look at those PMag extensions! Best in the game, in my opinion.
