Every once in a while, something comes along that is so interesting, it is simply hard to believe that it’s actually possible–that it really exists. The FSSG fire-selector system is just one of those things. In a nutshell, this is the single coolest aftermarket product we’ve ever encountered for the Glock family of pistols. Unfortunately, it is also a highly restricted item that is only available to law enforcement and military clients. The device is constructed of reinforced glass filled polymer, and attaches to the back of any Glock pistol, turning it into a fully automatic select-fire weapon. It’s currently being marketed by Jerry Peterson’s SCARS company to military and law enforcement clients in the U.S. and abroad.
From the reports we’ve gotten, the FSSG is supposed to be extremely durable(as durable as the pistol itself) and reliable, and does not add significant weight to the slide. We’ve actually known about this unit for around 3 years now. Defense Review intends to obtain one of the units for a detailed evaluation at a later date. This will be just one of many weapons evaluations we will be conducting, using our own proprietary testing protocols. Now, back to discussing the FSSG.
