TAYLOR FREELANCE ANNOUNCES 30th ANNIVERSARY BASEPADS ROLL OUT

Taylor Freelance has announced the release of their 30th Anniversary basepads. Taylor Freelance states “As you may have heard, TF’s design team brought out a totally new design for our 30th anniversary. It combines toolless on/off, super-grippy sides, a flat back (for rapid table starts), and is completely user-serviceable, right down to the smallest internal pin and spring. As we said in our…

Just got a bunch of our new Competition mag extensions for Canik Mete/Rival in stock.

*Raised shoulders fit the Mete/Rival frame (will not fit normal SF-pattern pistols)

*Styling inspired by the Rival-S

*High-traction "rip strip" helps rip stuck mags free

*"Tracker dot" system for easy magazine ID

Thanks to our competition background, our latest +0 basepad has many subtle features baked in. The "nose" of the basepad is short (making it easier to handle when reloading and less prone to snagging), the basepad itself is thicker (for positive seating), the shoulders are taller (preventing overpenetration in the widely-flared Mete and Rival frame), and traction-enhancing patterns cover almost every surface. The row of dots on the bottom is used to identify your magazines (1-5), so you can easily keep track of which one is which.

Even the "rip strip" gets cut with a true 90-degree cutter. Doing that creates a sharp corner -- giving you maximum traction from a relatively shallow, low-profile cut.

The possibly easiest movie gun clone build: Tenet Service Handgun

With today's modern gun culture being more friendly towards having just plain' ol fun, or LARPin (Live-Action Role Play), we have seen a rise in people openly talking about and doing movie gun recreations. Sometimes, these guns are fantastical creations requiring an insane effort, full gunsmithing knowledge and being a high quality prop maker, and depending on your level of commitment, also requiring federal permits, be it for shortening the gun, suppressors or full-auto.

But let's play on the other side of the spectrum, I want a cheap, solid, reliable, useable movie replica, without breaking the bank, and I'll be doing a tiny spin on it for my own purposes, because what's the joy of having a gun like this if you can't also shoot it and have fun?

Let's figure out what we need for the Tenet Service Handgun, and then slightly modifying it for the purpose of USPSA Limited/IPSC Standard division.

Through out the movie, we keep seeing Tenet operatives use Glock 19s with threaded barrels. By using Palmetto State Armory's website as an indicator, the starting point here is about $600 for the pistol itself.

From looking around and using the amazing website IMFDB (Internet Movie Firearms Database) as a resource, we can discern several details pretty clearly

Here, we can can clearly see that it appears the barrel seems to have silver/grey color to it. KKM Precision is known as one of, it not the best manufacturer of drop-in barrels for the Glock pistols. Their suppressor threaded stainless steel finish barrel for a Glock 17 is currently $250

And the gun appears to have standard factory Glock sights. Those are garbage, so we'll find a different set of sights for it. Realistically as well, a modern high end agency such as Tenet, would replace those sights

Again, using PSA's website, Trijicon three-dot night sights are $130

Assuming your gun came with at least two 17 round magazines, let's buy one more magazine, just to have a backup. That's another $30'ish at PSA's website. Now, let's get a three-pack of Arredondo's +3 extensions. This will give us the ability to in competition start with a 20+1 capacity while still fitting in the box for IPSC Standard division. That's another $75

Other base pad options exist, but these are made for min-maxxing in the Standard division, and they have a solid reputation for working properly. Now, the pieces de resistance, which is totally unnecessary, but I'll advocate for it anyways. A quality trigger. Yes, I said I wanted a clone, but I also believe I want the gun to be fun to actually shoot, and for Glocks, a better trigger matters a lot. Assuming you are building the gun on a Gen 5, I'd take a look at Timney or the new Glock Performance trigger. If you are using a Gen 3 or 4, then look into Apex, Agency, Pyramid or whatever trigger you enjoy. I'm very partial to Agency's glock trigger. This can run you anywhere from $100 to $300 depending on how you go, let's say $200 for ease of math. So, with the current list: $600 The gun, Glock 19 or 17

$250 KKM threaded barrel

$130 Trijicon night sights. $30 Extra magazine

$75 Basepads x 3

$200 Trigger. $1285 total, before belt and holster. Provided you want to be movie accurate, you can get this down to $850 with just the barrel and a gun. Even less if you shop used and go for a shiny threaded barrel, not specifically a KKM, but I will recommend that one due to it's reputation.

Now of course, some of these details can be skimped on depending on how you want to do it. This is my theoretical outline for it. The most important part is to have fun. Personally, I already have a SilencerCo barrel, good enough trigger, and enough mags. So when I pull the proverbial trigger on this project, I'll maybe just reinstall the factory sights or buy a cheap set of Truglo sights to replace the red dot mounting plate I currently got. I might also leave the small Magpul magwell I got on the gun since it makes the grip fit my hand so much better.

I hope to see you end up thinking about movie gun clones as much as I do.

Is the Browning Hi-Power relevant today?

The venerable Browning Hi-Power, arguably the very definition and first of the so-called "Wonder Nines" from when double-stack 9mm handguns started hitting the scene. Developed for the French Army Pistol Trials of 1935 where the requirements were to be able to hold more than 10 rounds and kill a man at 50 meters (55 yards) The GP35, Grande Puissance meaning "High Power" in French was the name given as it had such immense firepower of being able to hold 13 rounds of 9x19 parabellum, which was quite hefty in those days. But this isn't Forgotten Weapons, this is just me rambling and double checking with the Wikipedia page that I'm right.

Today we'll be looking at what the BHP brings to the table in modern terms.

For actual shooting, we can start with how the trigger is mushy, like pushing your finger into almost frozen wet sand. God knows how many pounds that trigger pull is. And that is after removing the magazine disconnect which makes the trigger pull significantly lighter. Yes, this gun comes originally with a magazine disconnect, which makes it so that you can't make the hammer drop if you pull the trigger without a magazine inserted. The magazine disconnect can be easily removed, but it's reduces your out of the box readyness and is an unnecessary hassle in the modern day. And modifying the trigger today requires a steady hand and a file, far from the modularity and ease which comes with say a Glock 17. The magazines are also another peculiar quirk for these guns. 20 rounds and bigger magazines have been made, but have fallen out of fashion, so they are quite difficult to find now. For my own journey of BHP ownership, I happened into a 20 round magazine one time and sold it again before I knew better, never to have seen one available again. The original magazine capacity is 13 rounds. Today, I'd argue the standard capacity of the pistol is 15 rounds, provided you use modern produced MECGAR magazines. They appear to be identical, except, with a shiny finish and a shortened follower making up most of the effort to increase capacity, which makes the modern magazines still seat flush like original magazines, but you end up with a +2 boost in capacity which is real nice. MECGAR also makes +2 basepads for their pattern of BHP mags, which now bump you up to 17 rounds of capacity, which makes you now reach something resembling modern capacity. Still requires seeking out these mags and basepads in specific, whereas for a Glock 17, 17 rounds is your standard. G17 magazines will in expensive areas run you about $45 / €45. MEC-GAR BHP mags + the extension gets you to $99 / €99, and there's very little of extending the magazines even further. So again, the BHP has fallen to wayside. The hammer bite of the gun, can be a turn-off for some, and a turn-on for others. My second BHP has a no-bite hammer installed from when I bought it used. It removes the issue, but it's yet another $100/€100 part that you don't even need to think about today.

With my kinda big hands, I still get a slight marking from the hammer when I fire in excess of a 100 rounds a day. As for disassembly, I can never agree with myself if I'm putting in the recoil spring upside down or not. Meanwhile with a modern handgun, like an M&P or the Glock, it can't be installed that wrong. Now depending on which model you have, you might be stuck with a fixed front with, which means you can't install your favorite fiber optic front sight that easily. And if you want a red dot, as far as I know, no one makes a red dot mounting plate for the BHP. Some companies do cut BHPs for optics, MKIII Firearms in Las Vegas have put out plenty of good work on their youtube and instagram of them doing fantastic work on BHP pistols, but again, this is custom work, we prefer user-serviceable out of the box solutions here. Any modern 9mm pistol today will either have optics plates available, have an optics ready variant available or in some cases even come with the dot already mounted. My person BHP sights look like they are cut out of a toilet paper tube someone stuck on top, requiring two screws to be adjusted if I want to adjust windage. Now, for the modern day, we see more and proliferation of equipment to make fighting and shooting in the dark more easy than ever before. On a stock BHP, you don't get night sights, you can't mount a gun light, you can't mount a red dot nor light. Meanwhile modern bargain bin sketchy turkish import pistols will have those features, showing how basic and necessary they are today.

Threaded and or ported barrels are also a specialty item, yes, they are out there, but you are going to be looking quite a bit more and dealing with longer wait times.

Are you a left or a righty? If you are left handed, you better start practicing even more to be right handed. As far as I know, the magazine catch is right hand only (left side of the gun) and so is the slide release. The safety can be modified to be ambidextrous tho.

Holsters. So for a Glock/M&P/Sig 320, you are going to get holsters out the wazoo for ever possible solution and operation.

For a Browning Hi-Power, I can't even recall ever seeing a kydex holster. This severly limits you in how you can carry the gun. Surely, there are specialty shops who can custom make you that kydex holster with the Taylor Swift pattern on it for your BHP, but it's still not an off the shelf solution. I personally use a Bianchi M12 or a Hogue Powerspeed holster whenever I'm out on the range with my BHP.

And with the advent of chassis based pistols like the SIG P320, or the new modularity of the Glocks with the 45 and 47 pistols being or being close to full size, but using G19 recoil spring assemblies, allowing you to mix and match slides, so you can perhaps nestle that compensator tighter, or run a short slide for a faster cyclic rate but still a full size grip for use with an optic. Out of all of these options, on the Browning Hi-Power, you get nothing. Again, custom jobs are possible, but now we are reaching into really far out there territory where people rarely go.

As for the rails. Yes, the Recover Tactical sleeve/frame/grip thing exists. But it looks butt-ugly and crashes with your style. I also don't know about any holsters that will fit it. (running a Black Hawk Omnivore holster) might circumvent this issue.

The tiny safety as well, yes, after market safeties are available. But Due to the weight of the trigger pull, you could almost pull the logic of revolvers and argue that the safety can be completely deleted. But what about FNs new gun?

You are still left with a very barebones gun missing many features. And the new BHPs have even less of an aftermarket since they are re-engineered to be slightly better, leading you to unfortunately distancing yourself from what is already an established aftermarket for the BHP.

But what about Girsans gun?

They seem interesting, but with foreign imports that add features, holster compatibility seems like an afterthought that hasn't hit them just quite yet.

What about Nighthawk?

I ain't got that kinda cash, fam.

What about Springfield?

I have very little experience with them, but they seem to fall in the same category as the old ones and the new ones from FN, still a barebones gun.

Conclusion:

If you think the Browning Hi-Power is a cool pistol and you want one as a historic relic or a range toy, I am 100% supportive of it. But as a modern duty/combat pistol, it is surpassed in every single way by the most basic of low budget handgun. I am after all on my second Browning in the journey that is ownership of slightly out there handguns. I shoot my 1977 produced gun in competitions still and thoroughly enjoy it despite all of it's glaring flaws.
