A while back I did a Youtube video inspired by one from Nutnfancy and TNP on installing some of the Glock modifications he recommends. I really enjoyed doing the video, and in part, the only reason this site exists is because of that video. Everything here can be done one your own without paying for an gunsmith, as a matter of fact everything here can be done for very little money and installed in just an hour or two.

Izhmash Saiga 12 - Factory Configuration
The Saiga 12 is a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun based on the Kalashnikov rifle design and produced at the Izhmash factory in Izhevsk, Russia. Before closing Izhmash produced some of the best AK-47s and AK-74s, the quality of the Saiga 12 is no different. The Saiga 12 is also used by the Russian Special Forces units, Spetznaz & OMON, and commercial versions have found international popularity with hunters, sportsmen, police and armed citizens. Currently the Saiga 12 is one of the hottest selling firearms across the country, not only because it is one fantastic shotgun, but also because the BATFE/US Justice Department is trying to ban imported shotguns that have certain features that they have declared “evil”. Because of this prices on the Saiga 12 have soared over the past year from ~$450 to now around $900.

Springfield XDM 5.25
Obviously I have an obsession, lately its been all over this one gun in particular. The Springfield XD(m) 5.25 9mm Competition. Springfield brought us the XD(m) roughtly three years ago, raising the bar in the polymer pistol market. Can they do it again? The XD(m) competition was designed by the Springfield Armory team and world champion shooter Rob Leatham. They’ve attempted to give you everything you could want in a competition pistol right out of the box. It’s currently rumored that at some point they will release a tactical version, but this first 5.25 was made to be on the cutting edge of what you expect from a target and competition pistol. It is made to change your view of what a polymer pistol can be.
