It’s Monday morning. You’re busy, we know.

But after lunch, when you’re all(most) caught up, check out this web-app that lets you take gun parts and drag’n drop your dream gat in minutes. Choose a starting point from a bunch of popular rifles and pistols and then accessorize like it’s 2004 and you just got your first Blackwater paycheck. When you’re done, you can save your creation for sharing on your blog or favorite forum.

Could this be the Gen4 Glock?

glocknewgrip-1At AUSA, we tried to get a little news from Glock about their 4th generation pistol. The reps were all tight-lipped about the new features we might see when they unveil it at Shot in January. But, Richard over at gunsholstersandgear.com has pieced together a pretty good picture of what we can expect the Austrians might be doing to compete with Sig-Sauer, Smith & Wesson and Springfield. Richard based his findings on a combination of privileged sources, public documents and educated guesses.

Don’t get sucked to deep into the madness, though. Photos of a Gen3 RTF Glock (right) are getting posted on forums and blogs that are mistakenly labeling it the Gen4 pistol.
