One trend that took off in 2021 was the rise of ported barrels. We had places like Monsoon Tactical, Vulcan Machine Work and Slideworks ENG among a plethora of other places gain in popularity in regards to customer porting work. It’s always funny to look back and see what kind of the trends are popular over the years. A few years ago the “Roland” Builds were the cool things with the comps and matching length lights. The Parker Mountain Machine comps were the next big thing. They started showing up on a ton of firearm platforms. Now Porting seems to be the “recoil Management” system that people are wanting to use.

The whole point of porting your barrel and slide is to get excess gas that leaves the barrel pushed upwards and towards the sky. That means its pushing the gun down so it’s helping mitigate the muzzle flip and rise that people can sometimes struggle with. It really helps for follow up shots. It makes your gun more predictable and therefore easier to shoot fast.

Barrel porting can be expensive because you have to send your slide and barrel off to be machined. You cannot just use a normal ported barrel in a non ported slide. The escaping gas needs to have a place to go. Your slide will end up getting damaged from the excess pressure. So they have to mill a matching window in the slide. Then they have to be repainted or cerakoted and it takes time to get the whole process done. Our barrels take into account the common placement of the top window cut in many of the mainstream slides. You should be able to drop our barrel into most slides and have a perfectly functioning system. If your slide is not pre-cut, then we do sell our own slides that have a perfect cut window for the ports.

Shooting a gun with ports is just a little nicer in the recoil management department. There is less felt recoil and the ability to stay on target for follow up shots and shooting fast is a huge positive. We can see why porting your handguns has become so popular lately. Plus, in some instances. Just having the top window and some burnt up porting holes looks pretty sweet.

We are currently offering these barrels in 3 different finishes and will have different sizes coming soon. Right now they are only for the Glock 19. Head to our website and check them out for yourself. They won’t last very long since they are pretty unique to the industry right now. Grab one and let us know if you can feel the difference with our ported barrels!

It’s an exciting time! Things are changing and big things are happening here at AimSurplus! For the first time ever we have PVC Patches! These things are something you will find all around the gun industry. There is a weird collector/status symbol association with them. Lots of vendors give exclusive ones out during SHOT, companies do limited releases of them and influencers always seem to have a new one coming out.

We finally hopped onto the trend and have given people what they want! We have our ever so popular Stars and Stripes Logo patch. This is a rubber material on one side and a velcro hook and look material on the other. This allows you to slap the patch onto any bag or plate carrier or patch wall that you might have. I know all of our guys are currently rocking a patch on their plate carrier or their backpack. It’s just a cool way to show your support of a company that different than the mainstream places.

We have these patches up on the website right now and there are plenty of them. They are way cheaper than most places and super high quality.

Almost 2 years ago now we got the change to go out to the range and actually put some rounds through some of these cool pistols from Zev.

We did an entire YouTube video comparing them to the other “not a Glock” guns out there. Like the Shadow Systems MR920 and the Faxon Patriots. These guns were shot a bunch and they were tested in holsters, form and function. They all ran like tops but overall the Zev felt the most quality. I think that still holds true today many years later.

They have since released several different variations of the first gun we tested. They have the combat now which is slightly cheaper and leans more towards not a “Gucci” gun and a few other lines with threaded barrels and different colors. Frames with different sizes and slides with different cuts. They have basically just added more Gucci to the Gucci.

The OZ9 just radiates quality and has that feel of a high end gun. Something you just don’t get with some of the other competitors. The coolest thing about them though is the ability to just easily swap parts and frames and change the size of the gun entirely. Very similar to the P320 platform. I think the modularity side of the industry is where we are going to start seeing companies shine. Lots of modular products coming in the next few years if I had to guess. We have already seen some successful products survive and become popular enough to be mainstream.

We have a couple different variations of these Zev’s in stock right now. Consider heading over to the website to grab one and see what all the Hype is about.

Those of you that know me are well aware of my love or affinity for the MPX platform. It is one of the few PCC platforms that checks all the boxes for me.

The MPX is a 9mm PCC platform that has been around for several years now. Most people are familiar with it because of it’s very noticeable style. It looks like a MP5 and an AR15 had a baby. It has the ergonomics of an AR15. The same pistol grips, M-LOK Rails, mag release, bolt drop, charging handle and ect. Then it has the caliber, curved magazines and sleek sexy style of an MP5. The ability to fire with the stock or brace folded and the soft recoil. Still notably not a roller delay though.

The MPX currently is available in 3 configurations. The PCC Rifle designed to be the end all do all competition gun. It comes out of the box ready to rock and roll. Just toss on an optic and go. The 4in Barreled Pistol. Which has a folding 1913 Sig brace and the ability to fit itself into most bags. Finally the Coyote Tan pistol that has a monolithic upper. It loses the ability to change rails and also has a slightly shorter barrel. It comes in a new color with a matching brace and is truly designed to fit in the smallest of places.

The thing I love about mine is the fact that most of my AR mechanics and muscle memory transfers over. I don’t have to remember to charge from the front or hit a weird paddle release to drop the mag. It’s all the same even with the addition of some ambi controls. The gun runs great with a suppressor. It fits into every bag that I own. The recoil is non existent. The trigger is the same 3.5lb as my rifle. I can use the same pistol grip and M-LOK parts I’m already running on my AR15. It literally is just a compact 9mm AR that looks better and still gets the job done.

We have 2 of the 3 models on the website at the time of the posting. You should watch some reviews or even better go shoot one! These things are well worth the (hefty) price tag because they preform so well compared to the other competition out there in the PCC world. Check out he site and consider adding one of these to your collection while we have them!

Welcome back to the world of police trade-in firearms! This time for your consideration we have some good conditioned M&P40s from the great city of Detroit Michigan! If that isn’t a department mark calling your name then IDK if there is a better one out there that will.

In all seriousness though, PD marked guns have started to become collector items. As most departments transition out older firearms and move into new ones, they sell of their old stuff. This doesn’t happen for every department very often and there aren’t always huge numbers of the guns to begin with. It’s quite literally limited to the number of Officers they have.

If you are from Detroit or have some sort of connection to the city, then this is the kind of cool “one of a kind” gun most people are always on the hunt for. With normal surplus from across the globe basically hitting a standstill, these are the things you should be looking for as a collector. This batch is in great shape and as always show signs of wear. However these have been on the nicer side of the scale.

It’s hard to pass up a decent priced used MP40 in the first place, let alone adding a PD parked slide to the mix. If you don’t have one or have been on the fence about getting one its time to stop sitting around and to make the move! Our website has them listed and we have tons of review and parts and upgrades on the off chance you wanna take it to the extreme. Grab one while you can!

One of my favorite products that we picked up this year is the triangle folding SB Tactical brace.

When it first came out I thought it looked cool and was happy to see more brace options for the AK out there. However it wasn’t on my radar too much since I didn’t own an Ak and I would have no use for it. That all changed when I remembered about the Knight’s PDW.

We finally had a way to make KAC PDW look alike clones. That PDW is one of the most iconic guns out there in the Knight’s universe. A very rare and Iconic gun and one that’s super difficult to replicate. It is basically an AR platform that will allow for a Triangle Stock. A normal AR has a buffer tube to function and finding a platform that doesn’t is few and far between.

The perfect platform had shown up to pair it with too! The Foxtrot Mike gen 2 Pistol. It was a new buffer system that gave you a normal looking AR. Then removed the buffer tube and moved the recoil spring and buffer system into the upper. So you no longer were forced to use the buffer tube. It ships with the 1913 adapter in the lower already so you can toss on a 1913 brace and start shooting. Lots of people were running the normal SB1913 and the folding buffer adapters. However I would be running the Triangle brace to do my best to replicate that Knights.

Oh boy, does that gun look sweet. I finally had a close enough clone of the PDW that I was actually happy with. It is like a childhood dream coming true. The next best thing would be to stumble upon millions of dollars and just buy one of the prototypes. However I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Head to our website. Check out these 2 products and consider jumping on the Knight’s Clone idea with me. This is a combo I think looks great and actually works really well!

The holidays are now closer and closer and you’re running out of time to finish up that last minute present buying. Let’s admit it though, some people are just plain difficult to shop for.

One thing that is always a give or a sure thing, is that gun guys love bags and gear. You cannot go wrong gifting a range bag, long gun case, magazine holder, travel bag, ect… You can never have enough. It’s always nice to be able to switch up your bags or try new things or just have extra way to setup your gear. Bug out bags, truck gun bags, you name it. There is always a need for another bag.

The Savior bags we carry are super popular. They are the best bang for your buck and you couldn’t go wrong picking up anything from them. They have tons of pockets. Lots of sizes and colors and also a bag in every price range. You don’t have to worry about getting something wrong here.

Right now is the time to be buying guns! The holiday season is upon us, manufacturing is catching back up and products are going onto competitive sales.

COVID really put a damper in the release and production of everything the past year or so. Firearms being made from metals and polymers and made in factories with hundreds of workers, they were obviously affected. Sig Sauer released the cross right before it all went down and it was really well received and was getting great reviews. Then it just up and disappeared. You couldn’t find one on the shelf or online anywhere for anything close to a normal price.

Now that things are slowly starting to settle back down to normal, we are finally getting our orders of them to show up. Like lots of people probably are. The Cross is a cool gun because even after you toss in a magazine and a scope or bipod, you’re probably coming in under 7lbs. If you are a hunter or a precision rifle shooter, then you know how great that number is.

The gun is lightweight, adjustable, compact, and down right beautiful. The Cross is got the look and quality of a high end bolt gun, without breaking the bank too bad. Don’t get me wrong, $1500 isn’t anything to laugh at. Considering other bolt guns of that quality and fit and finish don’t ever come under 2K to begin with.

The Cross is a gun that lots of people were looking to get their hands on and put a bunch of rounds down range with it. If you know somebody looking or wanna make Christmas really good for that firearm enthusiast in your life, head over to the website and grab a Cross while they exist again!

Today we got in a cool little FN gun that we have been waiting for. The 502! I personally love guns like this that are basically miniature versions of full size guns, but in .22LR. The 502 is almost an exact copy of the 509, but slightly smaller and in .22LR.

The cool thing about this firearm is that it comes out of the box optic ready and includes a threaded barrel. Most people who are buying .22LR handguns are used to not having optics on them because the slide is so lite or polymer or any number of things. It’s just not something that manufacturers have been doing. Until FN released the 502 we have here. It comes with multiple optic plates in the box so you can run a varying number of optics. It also includes a 1/2×28 threaded barrel so most out of the box suppressors will fit on it. Thats super nice because usually for this price point you are getting a standard firearm. Then having to have the slide cut and buy a threaded barrel separately.

This gun out of the box is ready to go. You can rock the normal suppressor height iron sights that it comes with, toss on your favorite can and plink all day. The added benefit of the suppressor height sights really helps when you have a can on the gun like you should. It gives you the ability to actually use your sights unlike a lot of other rimfire handguns on the market. They gave you these options because they expect you to put on an optic or a suppressor when you use this gun. Other companies think of those things as an after thought.

We did not get a ton of these in and they are relatively new items. They have been drumming up some desire since they come feature ready right out of the box. If you or somebody you know has been looking for one, then send them over to our website and hopefully we still have them!

I think any gun guy over the age of 20 at the moment, would agree that there is just something about a Carry handle upper build that is just….. So hot. Whether its old war movies, video games or funny memes on Reddit. The carry handle build will literally live on forever.

There is something that is retro and cool about it. Some things suck when you go retro. You downgrade a little bit. However this one you really don’t. Lots of people and places are still running their ARs with fixed iron sights. So even if you resorted to just running it stock, you would still be on par with some of the builds today. The cool thing is that even though we have added a mount and a red dot on this “Retro” build. There is still a large period of time where this was common and cutting edge. It’s still a popular design today because it still works and gets the job done. There are a lot of current and new setups that aren’t nearly as effective as this old one.

Building ARs is something that most gun lovers get into. It is tons of fun and building a gun that you had a fond memory of from a movie you used to watch or “Cloning” your favorite military rifle, just makes it scratch a nostalgic itch that nothing else can.

This is just a sample of the kinds of builds you can do with some of the cool parts that we sell. There are a million different things you could have done to recreate this build or one like it, all while making it your own. We have this one topped with an Aimpoint and a Trash Panda Suppressor. Just helps give it that modern mixed with retro look that we were going for. Plus a little Krylon paint gets the job done for the old scratch and dent jungle camo.
