The Stribog has exploded onto the scene for being a really fun gun at a really good price. The main complaint people had was that you cannot change the trigger or the grip without changing the lower out for one that takes Glock mags or scorpion mags. I personally have not had an issue with factory Stribog mags and the factory setup but I get it, people want to change stuff up to make it more personal to them.
Well, problem solved thanks to Matador Arms. You get this complete upper that is blowback, which lets you shoot without a buffer. Perfect for a little truck gun or backpack gun.
Matador Arms Montgo-9 upper receiver assembly comes with a 1/2×28″ threaded muzzle, non-reciprocating and reversible charging handle, a full-length pic rail on top, and a 3.5” pic rail section at the bottom of the handguard. The slots on the sides of the handguard are not M-LOK slots which is really the only thing that I kinda am bummed about but it isn’t a make or break.
This last weekend we went to Sugar Creek Range to do a really cool night vision demo event.
Everyone who came out had the opportunity to shoot suppressed guns utilizing helmet-mounted night vision with a laser and/or a night vision clip-on unit mounted on a rifle as well as given the opportunity to compete against others by time in a steel target competition.
We brought a couple of our aim ported barrels and window cut slides for people to try out, we also brought some of the offerings from Foxtrot Mike to let people see how awesome those are!
It was a really cool event especially if you have never shot with night vision, when they do another one, definitely go check it out!
These are some of the most asked-for items we have, on social media anytime we post about a Glock barrel or slide, usually, the first question we get is ” What about for the 43?” Well, we have a couple options for you guys!
The Rose Gold barrel for your 43 just looks great, solid choice to break up all the black on the handgun. We will have some more color options at some point but we figured let’s give you guys the cooler stuff first.
So much demand from you all to come and see all the cool stuff we have for sale has left us with no choice other than for the first time ever, to be open Mondays! The new hours are Monday-Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10-4
Now that the blog is up and running I can get back to action.
Last month I was able to take Point 1 Tactics Hybrid Pistol Class with Donovan Moore.
It was a 2-day class that blew my mind. Donovan is the man. The level that guy shoots is insane, even better is how he teaches you it’s possible for you to get to that level if you put in the work.
Day 1 was all about concealed carry applications and 100% accountability for every round that leaves your pistol. We put up a USPSA Target and everyone wrote down their name and for every shot you missed outside the zone you added a tally.
So much information but it was not an overload. Everyone got to see him run his cold start and then try it themselves. Anyone who has passed his cold start time of 11.5 clean was pushed to do the 8 seconds time.
As you can see I failed clean but technically harder…. didn’t count
We went over trigger prep for a good 45 mins and it was the most informative way I have ever heard trigger prepping explained
Day 2 was more on speed and pushing what you knew and learned to the absolute max. It was a lot of fun and in direct sunlight, draining. I was beaten up and I made the wise choice to sign up for his 2-day vehicle class for the next 2 days.
Sadly I did not get a lot of pictures the second day because I was so involved in the shooting I did not think to take pictures.
If you have the chance to take a class with Donovan, do it. It will make you a better shooter.
The very much anticipated Duty RDS from Aimpoint has arrived. This will end up being the go-to optic for a lot of guys, you get a lot of the things the T-2 does well at a much more affordable price. It’s a tad bigger than the T-2 but smaller than the Pro model, which makes it a solid choice for those wanting to add a magnifier to their setup as well.
You get a bright, crisp 2 MOA dot that’s perfect for medium-range target engagements. All of the new windage and elevation adjustments are flush mounted and waterproof, removing the need for caps. The turrets provide audible “clicks” when zeroing the optic. The dot brightness intensity switch is a digital keypad and the buttons can that can easily be pressed while wearing gloves. The pressure forged aluminum alloy housing provides durability against extreme abuse and drastic temperature changes. The sight is vibration and shock resistant and submersible up to 80 feet. It is powered by a single CR2032 battery and ACET technology provides over 3 years of constant-on use at daylight position 7 and even longer on the night vision settings. The Duty RDS comes with a one-piece torsion nut mount and the optic features flip-up lens covers – the front is solid and the rear transparent.
Pretty cool optic from Aimpoint meant to take a beating and keep going, I may try to convince the boss to let me test one just to see how much of a beating it can take!
We all love guns. What was it that started that fascination for you? Was it growing up hunting with your grandfather or father? Toys at the toy store? Or was it the guns of Hollywood movies that captured your heart? Personally, it was Hollywood for me. Rambo. John McClane. Riggs. Robocop. Arnold. Axel Foley. Any of the James Bonds…not Timothy Dalton. This whole era of action movies always had the coolest guns. This list is my personal favorite firearms from the movies I love.
10. The M60.
Rambo was my first experience with the m60. Throw in any Vietnam-era movie, Tears Of The Sun and BlackHawk down. Rambo was able to just use it as a regular rifle because he was…well he was John Rambo. 600 rounds per minute and destruction, it all would have been avoided had they let him just get a meal and be on his way.
9. The AK47
Probably hard to find a movie that does not have an AK47 or a variant of it in some form. I always associate it with the bad guys. A movie I watched on repeat countless times as a kid, probably too young to be watching it, True Lies has some cool AK scenes. The little Norinco-like AKM that the lead terrorist uses in the bathroom firefight. All the other terrorists use full-size rifles. Harry Tasker gets ahold of one and helps get out of capture.
8. The 1911/2011
One of the coolest guns ever. I mean two world wars!
Saving Private Ryan. Big Lebowski, there are rules this isn’t Nam.
Faceoff had the cool gold 1911’s and gum and misc substances for Nic Cages Castor Troy.
In Cobra, Stallone rocked one. Under Seige saw Segal use it.
They are just cool. I am a big fan of the updated use in the STI/Stacatto 2011 in John Wick.
7. .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson 29
Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, Punk? Dirty Harry…I don’t need to say anything else.
6. M134 Mini Gun
Electric-powered Gatling gun is capable of blanketing the land with 7.62 at a rate of 2,000 to 6,000 rounds a minute. Only Jesse The Body Ventura is man enough to backpack one.
5. Delta/Gordon Carbine
These were cool then, and they are cool now. People are making clones of these all the time and look at them, why wouldn’t you want your own?
4. Han Solo’s DL-44
Yeah yeah, it’s not a real gun. Han Solo was the man. It’s based on a real gun anyway so I am keeping it on the list.
3. Walther PPK
One day I will own one for no reason other than James Bond. They are cool and elegant. They should come with a tuxedo.
2. Beretta 92 FS
Hey Riggs! Riggs was the best. The hair, the vibe. Everyone wants to be Martin Riggs and the 92fs only made him cooler.
H&K MP5
The top spot for me. It’s the mp5, it speaks for itself and it always will. Welcome to the party pal.
There are some guns I left out that I love just as much, but wanted to get these on the list. Robocops auto9. Axel Foley’s HiPower. The suitcase gun from Desperado. The SPAS-12 and AMT Hardballer from Terminator. Snake Plissken’s mac10. I could go on forever. Maybe one day I will do a round 2 or maybe like a cool cowboy or war guns.
A couple weeks ago I wrote about our laser and testing products on it. Well, I am glad to say a lot of these items are now showing up for sale. We have some cool Unbranded lowers that have a couple different design options.
Love your country? Show it on these flag lowers.OH- IO!The best gun shop around, it’s a fact.
We have also started doing some mags, we sold out of the ODG Topo mags real fast. We still have some of these super cool plaid options.
What I think will be the coolest part is our laser services option. When you are on the website hit the menu and scroll down, you will see Laser Services. Click that and you will see our newest option for the Glock guys out there.
We will be offering a mail-in service or if you are local, drop-off service to get your Glock stippled. You can have a variety of frame panels lasered with a design of your choice. Panels included: 1911 panels. Interlocked Panels. Logo Panels. Ray panels. Box Panels and Ripple Panels. All these panels and the patterns in the image below are the current options on the website with more to come.
Here are a couple images of completed firearms to give you an idea of what we can do at AimSurplus. Each image lists what panel is done with what texture is lasered and what other modifications are done to the frame.
Pretty cool stuff. You might think yeah but I bet it’s a hassle to get my frame shipped. It’s not! Here is the process for the whole thing:
Once you have selected and paid for all your laser grip options, it is time to send your frame in with your Order Number. We prefer if you just send the frame, as we will not be responsible for anything extra that ships with it. Rest assured, your frame will only be worked on by certified Glock Armorers and will be in good hands. If you order other items or parts at the same time, they will ship with the frame when it is complete.
The current turnaround time is only 1 week. Sometimes even less. What that means is that we will laser engrave and send back your completed frame within 1 week from receiving it.
If you have any questions or would like other parts you ordered installed by our certified Glock Armorers while we have it for lasering, please email[email protected].
Buying a suppressor can be confusing, but it really does not need to be. We sell many suppressors, from first-time buyers to guys with 10 plus. We put together a quick list of our ten most asked questions, here they are!
What suppressor should I buy?
The one that suits your needs best. This is a question with many variables to it. Buy the suppressor that fits what you have or plan to have. Only shoot 9mm? Get a 9mm suppressor. Shoot multiple rifle calibers? Get a .30 cal suppressor. This answer will always change depending on what you want to do with the suppressor.
2. Why should I buy a suppressor?
Many reasons. Recoil Reduction. Reduced sound. Flash suppression would all be some of the top reasons
3. How do I buy a suppressor?
Research, Do your homework. This suppressor is a lifelong purchase.
Decide which suppressor you want.
Purchase the suppressor.
Create a silencer shop account.
Purchase tax stamp/s
Fill out the information/fingerprints at the Silencer Shop Kiosk in our showroom.
Take pictures for the silencer shop account.
Wait for your email to certify your e-file. If you did a paper form, you will be notified when your check is cashed. then you wait.
Wait for your suppressor to be approved.
Pick up suppressor and tax stamp
Enjoy it.
4. Do I have to get a license to own one?
Nope. You do have to pay for a “tax stamp” when you first buy the suppressor but that is it.
5. Are suppressors legal?
Under federal law, it has never been illegal to own a silencer. If it is legal for you to buy a handgun, and you live in a state that allows ownership, then it is probably legal for you to own a silencer. The basic requirements are as follows:
You must be at least 21 years old
You must live in a state that allows ownership
You must not have any felony convictions
6. Do they have suppressors I can use for every caliber?
You can use a larger caliber suppressor to suppress a smaller caliber firearm as long as you have the appropriate adapters. Using a larger caliber silencer is not as efficient as a silencer made for the specific caliber, but it will still be a good sound reduction in most cases.
7. Can I use .22 in a 5.56 suppressor?
You could sure. Not recommended at all.
8. What is the advantage to using a trust over individual?
To simplify the answer: A trust makes it easier to share the fun and benefits of shooting with suppressors. Without a Trust, the person that got the Tax Stamp and purchased the suppressor MUST BE PRESENT and in possession of the suppressor when it is being used by another person.
9. How do I certify my silencer purchase?
Watch this video.
10. What is the difference between serviceable and non-serviceable suppressors?
Serviceable suppressors can be taken apart for deep cleaning and removing carbon. Usually, the caliber is not burning all the powder off and will cause carbon build-up.
Non-serviceable suppressors are welded shut. The caliber burns it all off, think of it as self-cleaning. Usually, rifle suppressors will be sealed, they are lighter in weight and have better sound suppression.
These are just a handful of the questions we get daily in-store or via email. Silencershop.com has tons of great information, this is what they do. Feel free to ask us in-store and we can guide you in the right direction either by answering your question ourselves or finding out from a manufacturer directly.
The AimSurplus SSTAT trigger is one of the best bang for your buck (pardon the pun) upgrades you can do to a mil-spec trigger. You get a fantastic trigger at a price that won’t break the bank, around a 3.5lb trigger pull with a clean break and short reset. All are housed in a self-contained design that makes it easy and quick to install with no fine-tuning needed. Pick a flat or curved trigger to cater to your style, drop it in and adjust the screws and you are good to go.
Every once in a while someone will get an issue with light strikes, 99.9 percent of the time this is due to two set screws on the bottom of the trigger housing. We made this video to help eliminate any concerns on installation or help fix an issue that could possibly come up.
