We got a sneak peek of an after market slide stop by Vickers Tactical for 9mm and .40 Glock pistols. Having recently completed all testing, it’s a go for production in the next few weeks. Manufactured by TangoDown, the shape and surface treatment are more positive than the OEM item for faster reloads. Additionally, it is sized for easily manipulation by all hand sizes. Finally, it doesn’t interfere with holsters.

Although this one has been around for a couple of years, it is still one of the best upgrades you can make to your Glock pistol. It is designed by Larry Vickers and manufactured by TangoDown as a replacement for the under-sized factory Glock magazine release.
Two versions are available. The first fits 9mm/40/357SIG variants and there is a second version for the large frame .45/10mm. Easy to install and made of the same tough polymer as the factory part, the Vickers Tactical Extended Release allows those with average to small-size hands to more easily manipulate the magazine release without shifting their grip on the weapon. Additionally, this will not eject the magazine if the weapon is laid on its side.
Fits Glock models 17,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. The GMR-001 is mandatory if installing the Crimson Trace lasers, as they attach to the weapon backstrap and further move the strong hand to the rear, away from the release.

As an update to our article on TangoDown’s ARC magazine, we wanted to tell you about an additional color. The new Translucent has been added to Black, Flat Dark Earth, and Foliage.
Also, word has it to be on the look out for a new 20 round version coming soon. UPDATE
Our friends at Military Morons have one of the 20 rounders and suggested we share a picture with you. Thanks Guys!
The 30 rounders are currently available from several retailers including G&R Tactical.
The Canted Foregrip Mount features a 10 degree cant which, when mounted on a fore-end rail equipped AK-47 accommodates the loading and unloading of magazines. This 2nd generation canted grip adapter comes with a Tango Down Vertical Battle Grip but allows the use of any grip that attaches to a Picatinny or Weaver rail. While designed specifically with the AK family of weapons in mind, it will fit any Mil Std 1913 rail in order to acquire a more ergonomic grip.
The mount also features a sling mounting plate for push-button sling-swivels as well as a “cut-out” for rail-mounted flashlights. Manufactured from aluminum, the fore-grip mount attaches to the rail via locking screws (loc-tite suggested).

Please note: Shipments allowed to USA only. Export of the grip is strictly prohibited without a valid export license issued by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls, prescribed in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR)
We recently wrote about TangoDown’s new ARC magazines developed for SOCOM’s SCAR program. Below is some video of the magazine being used in an M4-style weapon.
