Night Fision has recently introduced sights for Taurus. They have some really great sights and sell front sights separately. We are now carrying Night Fision sights for Taurus, Glock and will add more.

The Taurus GX4 comes with 2 different sized back straps. So, our +2 magazine extension for the Taurus GX4 comes to fit the large, or the small, back strap and increases the capacity of the 13 round magazine to 15 rounds.

And, we have barrels in process for the GX4. Both threaded, and ported, barrels are coming off the machines and will be available in the coming weeks. The GX4 with the ported barrel is the softest shooting micro-compact available at its size!

And, we still have a few days to go this week!

We have had a bunch going on this week. First, we introduced ported barrels for the Taurus G2C and G3C. These keep a carry gun small while helping to keep each shot on target for faster follow up shots.

There has been an outcry on the internet for a solution to slides cracking and breaking on the standard TX22. While we have not seen any breakage with our TX22 recoil assembly, we changed it to add a recoil buffer. The buffer absorbs a small but meaningful amount of the force going into the slide and keeps any of the steel parts from even touching the surface of the slide the spring rest on. The Buffered Stainless Recoil Assembly provides the absolute best solution available to prolong the life of the TX22 slide.

Supply issues have been a big thing since covid. We are not immune. But, we finally have back in stock the Gold (Titanium Nitride) finish on the compact (Taurus G2C, G3C) Lakeline barrels as well as the Micro-Compensators in black nitride finish.

On top of Covid, shipping issues with USPS, and all the other excitement, fraudster have been busy. Many people don’t realize that the credit card companies don’t suffer when there is fraud on their, rather insecure, payment system. They just take the charges out of the seller’s account.

So, to be able to stay in business and still offer good pricing, we’ve had to implement a slew of fraud prevention measures on our order and payments systems. I get it that people want to leave as small of a footprint out there on the inter-webs. So, people may use an alias, or an address that is not theirs, etc. to minimize exposure on the web.

The problem with that is when we don’t get clear, verifiable information with an order, it starts to have very similar characteristics to a fraudulent order, where the card holder’s information has been taken.

So, even though I expect we dislike having to have a system that is more particular and even having people use their time to review some orders, it is just another unfortunate reality of the business right now. It is an inconvenience for everybody. Hopefully payment processing will evolve to something a little more secure and easier to use soon.

Things were actually going along fairly smoothly at Lakeline LLC in early 2020. Then, it became, well, exciting. That’s the word I’ll use to describe the year it has been.

With Covid, came a bunch of new challenges. The good, orders went up! People are shopping from their computers and between the election, riots and Covid, it seems interest in firearms went up. On the other side, getting things built became a challenge. Not only were we busy, but everybody in firearms is busy. Just getting inventory, and new products out and built, became a challenge with everything taking longer than it would normally.

We had to figure out how to even stay operating safely early on in Covid and then how to continue moving the ball forward.

Still, we’ve introduced a bunch of new plastic parts, mostly mag accessories like sleeves, bases, etc. that improve the experience with a bunch of different pistols. We’ve introduced target barrels for some Taurus pistols, with threaded versions available and more coming. And, we have a bunch of new products that were available to support the G3C as and shortly after it was introduced. There is a stream of new products coming.

Shippers are still slammed and chaotic. We see lots more late arrivals to customers from the postal system and packages sometimes sitting in a post office or sorting center for days on end. Our shipments with UPS and FedEx are also more chaotic and sometimes later than usual.

Our lead times from suppliers are longer than normal and that has caused us to sometimes end up out of stock when coupled with the higher demand than we normally see. But, we are getting most things back in stock and we keep solving the issues that do come up.

It will be interesting to see how this all looks when we remember it in a few years. Thanks folks! We appreciate the support and patience that has sometimes been required to get things done this year.

Truglo has a mail-in rebate on their pistol sights, $20 on the TFX Pro and $15 on the Tritium Pro sights, running through the end of January.

We can help with those!

The fiber optic sights for the Taurus G2 series are back in stock!

Also, we have the newly revised Truglo TFX PRO sights for the Walther PPS M2.

These are the handiest things.  Everybody should have one and now you can get them at Lakeline LLC.  It is the easiest way to get the last rounds in those magazines and saves fingers.  If you have a P365, you really know what we mean.

Lakeline LLC now has magazine springs and followers to fit the Sig P365.  The springs come in both 10 and 12 round sizes and there are 2 versions of the metal magazine followers available as well.

The magazine springs come in factory strength as well at +10% for both the 10 round and 12 round magazines.

Lakeline has 2 versions of metal magazine followers and replacement springs to fit the Sig P365 which are now all in stock. 

And, we have combinations of a new magazine spring in factory strength and our die cast aluminum magazine follower available for both the 10 and 12 round magazines.
