Revitalizing the Subcompact: Grey Ghost Precision Releases a new GGP-26 Slide

Introducing the GGP-26 Slide

 

Wallace, ID – If you thought Grey Ghost Precision was done innovating GLOCK® slides, you’d be dead wrong. The double-stack subcompact wonder known as the G26 just got its own GGP slide with a killer new serration pattern that you’ve never seen before.

Having already engineered their G19, G17 and even SPG43 slides with tightened tolerances in multiple unique patterns, you might be asking yourself why the G26? According to GGP VP of Firearms Jason Curns, the G26 is still a widely used sidearm that many professionals use as a backup, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of concealed carriers that use the G26 as their EDC pistol. “The GGP-26 slide benefits from the same accuracy-improving tolerances that we’ve seen from our GGP-17 and GGP-19 slides. With a shorter barrel, any buff to your G26’s accuracy is a welcome improvement. Dropping in our slide with its critical tolerances (along with using a match grade barrel) should tighten your group sizes… if you, the shooter, are doing your job of course!”

In addition to the match grade properties of the slide’s tolerances, Grey Ghost Precision also gave the GGP-26 slide a unique slide cut that stands apart from the 6+ slide patterns that can be seen in their product lines. The front of the slide has a deep taper with stepped serrations, within that they get deeper as they progress toward the chamber area. It’s like a sunken living room for your sausage fingers that ends with a substantial ledge for ultimate leverage during press checks and malfunction clearing. “In a gunfight, every millisecond matters,” says GGP Engineer Jason Fancher. “The deep front serration is our most aggressive design yet, and for good reason. If it’s ‘go time’ and the pistol in your hands is a subcompact, you’ll need the ability to charge it and manipulate it with authority.” The rear serrations mimic this design, but at a standard depth.

The front step serrations gradually get deeper the further back they go.

 

Let’s talk about optics. Mounting a Micro Red Dot Sight (MRDS) on your pistol slide has become easier than ever in this day and age. GGP is no stranger to this, as their existing GLOCK® slides all have optics cuts pre-milled and tapped for some of the most popular combat proven optic sights. The GGP-26 slide is no exception, as it comes with their hybrid optic cut right out of the box. This cut allows either a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro to be mounted directly, or a Trijicon RMR/SRO with the addition of a slim shim plate that ensures a snug fit to the slide. Two popular optic footprints, and all without the need for bulky adapter plates that would only raise the optic above the bore axis. The result is low-profile and rock solid, just what you should expect from a company like Grey Ghost Precision.

The GGP-26 comes with a g10 coverplate and a this shim plate that converts the Leupold DPP footprint to a Trijicon RMR/SRO footprint.

 

GGP also includes their custom cover plate made from G10 that attractively covers the optic mount when not in use. So put away those typewriters, all you irons-only folks.

 

As for availability, GGP-26 slides are available now on GGP’s website for $429.99 MSRP. Considering GGP also manufactures match-grade barrels for the other GLOCK® slide offerings, it’s safe to say that GGP-26 barrels are on their way. If you want to upgrade your G26 with a GGP-26 slide, they are available at https://greyghostprecision.com/ggp-glock-26-gen-3-4-stripped-slide/

About the ASA:

The American Suppressor Association is spearheading the fight to legalize and deregulate suppressors, and are the front line defense against the anti-suppressor factions that want them banned! Over the past eight years, ASA has actively lobbied in 30 states, fought to ease the archaic restrictions on suppressors in D.C., testified in front of dozens of legislative bodies, hosted countless suppressor demonstrations for legislators, media, and the public, and funded research proving the efficacy of suppressors. As a result of our work, Iowa, Minnesota, and Vermont legalized suppressor ownership, and 18 new states have legalized the use of suppressors while hunting, proposed ATF regulations on suppressor manufacturers were stopped, CLEO sign-offs were removed from all transfers, and transfer times are again beginning to drop.

UF PRO to Spotlight New Striker X Combat Pants, Other Tactical Gear at Paris Milipol Show, 19-22 Nov

Monday, November 11th, 2019

TRZIN, SLOVENIA (11 Nov. 2019)—Homeland Security officials and other attendees will get eyes on the newest and best tactical garments and accessories from UF PRO at the Milipol international fair set for 19-22 Nov. in Paris, UF PRO today announced.

UF PRO, which makes advanced-technology tactical garments and related gear for military special-forces teams and for law-enforcement agencies worldwide, said it plans to display at its exhibit booth (5D 083) a soon-to-debut range of highly anticipated combat shirts and pants known as Striker X.

“Our Striker X range is built to meet the demanding needs of military operators, whose input we drew on in designing both the shirts and pants,” said Armin Wagner, head of UF PRO product development. “Milipol is the big international gathering of homeland security players, the leading event of its kind in Europe.”

According to Wagner, the Striker X range is notable for extreme ruggedness combined with remarkable comfort.

Striker X combat pants and shirts are made with high-tech, best-in-class materials that offer no-melt/no-drip,” Wagner explained. “All the seams are streamlined, and the places most vulnerable to rips and damage from abrasion are super-reinforced. 

 

“Yet, they’re also exceptionally breathable. And, thanks to their anatomic fit, they move freely as though they’re part of the wearer’s body.”

 

Along with the new Striker X combat garments, UF PRO will showcase the special Striker FR range which can only be purchased by government entities, Wagner said.

 

However, those two patterns will not be the only ones to make an appearance at the UF PRO exhibit station, Wagner assured.

“We have a number of other new colours we want to parade past our guests at the booth,” he said. “One of these is Steel Grey, and it will be presented on our upcoming Delta OL 3.0 winter jackets and pants, as well as on our already available Striker BDUs.

 

“Another new colour is PHANTOMLEAF. A novel algorithm was employed in designing this adaptive pattern, which is why it can cause a wearer to visually blend in against almost any background. The surrounding landscape or environment may change, but this one pattern works in them all. It’s available only to governments in this pattern, but the WASP II Z3a pattern is developed for civilian usage as well.”

 

One more camouflage pattern expected to garner an abundance of interest is CONCAMO, which will be shown on UF PRO’s Striker HT combat pants, Wagner said.

 

“CONCAMO is short for ‘confusion camouflage,’” he explained. “And confusion is exactly what it produces in the brain of someone looking in the direction of a CONCAMO wearer. Its eight blended colours combined with an array of scientifically structured shapes toss a wrench into the subconscious mind, preventing awareness of what’s practically right in front of your face.”

Other major attractions announced for the UF PRO exhibit:

 

Monsoon XT Gen.2 Rain Jacket and Monsoon XT Rain Pants. The jacket features a unique hood-harnessing system that doesn’t restrict the wearer’s field of view. UF PRO air/pac® inserts in the shoulders help better distribute the weight of a plate carrier or backpack. Both the jacket and pants are made of 100-percent waterproof laminates and include functional elements such as ventilation zippers, zippers for easy access of pockets beneath outerwear, and boot hooks to prevent the pants from bunching or riding up along the wearer’s legs.

 

AcE Winter Combat Shirt & Delta AcE Plus Gen.2 Jacket. Both are designed for bitter cold-weather conditions by wearers engaged in a significant amount of sweat-breaking physical activity. Functional elements common to both include air/pac® inserts, highly water-repellent and windproof face fabric, and the ability to accommodate a plate carrier and backpack. The jacket offers abrasion-resistant side ventilation panels, while the shirt comes with a zipper side ventilation system.

 

Delta ML Gen.2 Jacket. This feather-light, thermal-insulated tactical jacket is making its public debut at Milipol. It’s suited for use as either a middle or outer layer, and features abrasion-resistant side panels, G-Loft thermal insulation filling, and moisture-wicking microfleece lining. The face fabric is water-repellent and windproof.

 

Wagner extended an invitation to Milipol 2019 attendees to not only visit the UF PRO booth but also arrange one-on-one meetings with the company’s top executives to talk in a relaxed setting about tactical gear and other matters related to homeland security needs.
