My Review of the Pachmayr Tactical Grip Glove for Full-Sized Glocks

I was thinking of trying out some of those Rubber Decal Grip Stickers on my Glock 22, but then I noticed that Rubber Slip-On Grips more or less accomplish the same thing. Because of this, I decided to try one out instead. 

'Slip-On Grip Choices'
When it comes to these rubber slip-on grips, there are basically only two major brands for it: Hogue, and Pachmayr. I chose the Pachmayr over the Hogue mainly because of the type of rubber used. These two manufacturers use different types of rubber raw materials and/or blends, and their grips end up with slightly different properties.

Hogue has this sort of "wet" type of rubber that tends to stick into your hands better, but feels a bit messy or "juicy" to me. I got to handle one a lot before on my father's 1911, and I didn't like it very much. Pachmayr, on the other hand, uses a "drier" type of rubber that doesn't stick to your hand as much, which for me is better.

My M4-Based SBR Build: Buttstock Assembly

I have completed the first assembly for my M4-Based SBR build, and it is the Buttstock Assembly. Total price was at P6,547 (approximately USD 152). By US standards, it is shockingly expensive, as I have seen similar assemblies on Amazon sellling for only USD 50 in the US. I was initially thinking of getting a Magpul CTR Stock, but prices of such stocks in Philippine Gun Stores are insane, and I had problems finding an original one from a source that would ship to the Philippines.

Even if I could find one, the prices online, while much lower than the insane prices from the Gun Stores, still would've been much more expensive than the Standard M4 Stock. I also thought that in terms of looks, I think the Standard M4 Stock is better than the Magpul CTR as it is sleeker in appearance.

I could've bought these Standard M4 Stocks for much cheaper prices from some Chinese websites, but by the time I "discovered" them, I had already bought most of the items. Besides, I had excess parts from my Glock Machine Pistol build in form of the Tapco Rubber Pad and Buffer Tube, and didn't want them to go to waste, so I just decided to build around them instead.
