I picked up the little Grand Power Stribog TR22 Pistol over at the LGS this past weekend. Big thanks and huge shout out to Global Ordnance. This is definitely a cool little pistol but right away I knew that it needed a little something, something. This is part of that journey!

While the flip up iron sights are readlly cool, the firts thing I wanted to do was get an optic on this puppy. For now, I have decied to go with the Raven red dot from Monstrum Tactical. That said, I have a couple other dots from Monstrum as well ast he Advocate red dot from Gideon Optics that I might have to eventually try out on this thing.

Since I set my Ender 3 3D Printer up about a week ago, I have been printing a lot of handstops. That was the next addition to this little Stribog. I chose to go with one of the designs that I like best.

When Global Ordnance shipped this Stribog, it was supposed to come with a psitol brace. When I picked it up at the LGS, there was not brace. I check my emails and they shipped that brace straight to my house. Problem is, USPS misrouted the freaking thing and what should have been here the same day as the pistol ended up taking ane extra 3 days. I am not a big pistol brace fan, never have been but I do think it looks way better in a SB Tactical Pistol Brace configuration for sure.

One thing I didn’t care for with this pistol was how much of the barrel stuck out past the handguard. There isn’t that much barrel showing on the 9mm version. I went to the internet to try and find an extended handguard but really didn’t find much and what I did find was expensive as well as shorter than I really wanted. I wanted something that would cover the entre barrel, all the way up to the thread protector.

It didn’t take me long to realize, hey dummy, you have a 3D printer and start looking for designs to print. I ended up finding two designs, both of which were, again, too short for my liking. That is when I decied to, for the first time, fire up some 3D modeling software, take some measurements and just create my own handguard extension.

I ended up having to print some picatinny rails which are used to attach the extension to the receiver. That is alright because it also gives me a couple places to add goodies later on. There was a lot of trial and error, test prints, measuring and measuring again, to get my deisng compete and printed. Once printed, there were several more hours of work with finishing it out, getting everthing as smooth as possible, getting it painted, etc. All that work, I think was worth it becuase I think it looks good and at the end of the day it was exactly what I was wanting.

So What’s Next?

I have a sorta blocky squared off compensator coming. Hopefully that gets here soon as most the most part my vision for this little Stribog will be complete. Then it will be time to get some more testing with it done along with content for YouTube and other platforms.
