On Saturday, the Power Factor Show invited Robin Taylor to appear in their studios. We’re honored to discover they dedicated that week’s episode to our history and product line!

Today we got a fun little video in from Jeff Davis, talking about his experiences playing with our +8 floorplate for the M&P.   (Tip: When our M&P gear balks on loading, it’s almost always the left-rear corner of the follower — you’ll see why in our YouTube Video Support section.)

HK P30 +5 “Border Special” Shipping Now!

Designed for duty, the Border Special adds 5 rounds of .40 or 9mm to the standard-length HK P30 magazine. Per our various testers’ requests, these feature a hollow-ground locking plate and anti-vibration screws — both of which are a significant upgrade.

Our HK customers also asked for a discreet black logo, instead of the usual shiny aluminum.

The Border Special also works with the HK P2000. Shown here is a prototype during a visit to the Blaine, WA  Customs and Border Patrol office.

Aaron Marco sends this comment:  “Hey I just wanted to drop you a line.. I went out to the US Shooting Academy this week and put down 3k rounds in 3 days. I used three converted mags and they ran like champs. In fact, one of them I’m getting 21 9mm in, though not reload-able. You did a great job.”

Our No. 1 customer complaint has always been “I only get +2!” That’s because we intentionally build the cavity in our magazine extensions slightly undersize to compensate for any possible misalignment between the mag tube and the extension. The downside to that is that occasionally the follower will hang up on its way into the magazine. This video shows Robin Taylor assembling an M&P extension that had this problem, and fixing it in real time.

David Fuentes just e-mailed us to ask:

“Mr. Taylor,

     I was VERY impressed with the super fast shipping you provide. I ordered some mag springs from you not to long ago and get them a lot sooner then expected. Thank you very much and keep it up.

     I wish you carried the mag springs for the 22rd Glock mags, Wolff has them on a 4-6 week back order.”

Actually, we do! This spring fits the new 22-rounder exactly.
