Inclement weather always makes shooting fun, but it also provides several challenges including keeping your gun rust free.  We have been soaked for a few days in Nashville making testing a little more challenging.  Fortunately we have covered firing positions that keep the wet weather away from our guns, but if you don’t have no fear.

Shooting in the rain can actually be pretty enjoyable as long as you dress appropriately.  It definitely adds an element to the process that you normally don’t encounter.  If you happen to be shooting in the rain or hunting during a snow shower here are a few tips to keep your guns in good working order.

1. Don’t forget to oil.  You should do this before and after every range trip, but especially if you are out in wet weather.
2. When finished never store your guns in a foam gun case.  These actually attract moisture and will aid the rusting process.
3. If you do see some surface rust forming, oil and lightly remove with very fine steel wool.  Don’t get heavy handed or you will take the finish.
4. Remove stocks, grips, and other moisture traps and wipe clean, then apply a healthy coat of oil.

The rain doesn’t have to ruin your hunt or day at the range as along as you are mindful to take care of your guns when you return.

Since we showed you how to put on a grip extension for your Glock, we thought it might be helpful if we gave you a little insight on which extension we prefer.  We mentioned that you can use Glock, Pearce or Scherer extensions.

Glock factory extensions are fine if you can find them.  They are well made and look good on the mag.  The one complaint we get is that they don’t have any serrations.  You can buy these mags with the extensions already on them for about $6 more per magazine.

The Pearce extensions are very popular.  They make a variety of extensions for many different mags.  They are smaller than the Scherer model so they give you the mix of extension and concealment.  The Pearce extensions are about $9.

The Scherer are actually the one we prefer for our Glock mags.  They come two in a pack for around $14, and they are bigger than the Pearce extension giving you the most control.  We also feel like the Scherer are made from a little stronger material than the Pearce extension.  So overall in our opinion it is the better choice.

If this is something you want added to your mag try it with the video or you can send them to us when we work on your gun.  We only charge the price of the extensions, so it is up to you.
