6 New Products From COMBAT HANDGUNS August 2015

.22 TCM Glock Conversion Kit
Rock Island Armory is introducing its first Conversion for Glock kit, which allows Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 models of the G17 and G22 pistols to be converted to chamber the new .22 TCM 9R round. The new TCM 9R round matches the length of a 9mm cartridge, allowing it to feed and function properly inside supported 9mm firearms. The TCM series of cartridges was inspired by the need for higher speed and accuracy along with less recoil. While installation of the conversion kit is a simple process, a professional gunsmith is required to ensure full functionality and safety.

Pearce Grips G42 Products
Pocket pistols are great in the concealability category, but when small guns mix with average- to large-sized hands, controllability can suffer. Enter Pearce Grips’ PG-42 Grip Extension which gives the shooter more gripping surface area for the pinky finger. Pearce also has the PG-FI42 Grip Frame Insert for the Glock 42. The handy unit friction fits solidly in the bottom rear cavity of the .380 ACP Glock 42 keeping debris out of the gun’s magazine well. Pearce has a similar unit on the design table for Glock’s newest 9mm G43. (<a target=blank href=http://www.pearcegrip.com>http://www.pearcegrip.com</a>; 800-390-9420)
