I can't reply in this place on my phone, the fucking thing adds spaces and ruins everything.

congrats and welcome back, I guess. I'm not retired yet so still hanging round here. got a fake knee now, working through the stiffness.

Happy New Year.
 
Fine pistols.

RIP Gaston.
 
Cause I put away the shotgun bought me a glock

So is Gaston Glock up there with Mikhail Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner?

I wouldn't say so. He was clearly a better businessman, scummier, and had a much more interesting life story. He never actually designed the 17 himself, nor the polymers involved in the parts. He took the Austrian Army's requirements for a replacement pistol and put together a panel of experts to sort things out.

Those are my Mt. Rushmore of gunmakers. Gaston Glock definitely has a monument somewhere though.

So according to what I know about the Glock, which I learned from watching US Marshals, you can pour sand in them, swim under water, etc., and they’ll still shoot. Is that true?

Also, I might get a pistol for fun and home defense. What do you think of the beretta? Better than a Glock? Worse?

My gay country doesn't let you have pistols.

Why is a glock so special? They look cool as fuck but thats where my knowledge ends

I was at my local shop. This guy walks in with a shirt that read:

John&
Eugene&
Mikhail&
Gaston.

Heh.

I'm not knocking Glock. I own a few and they're ok. As for Gaston, he knew little to nothing of firearms. He initially had a cottage industry manufacturing shower curtain rings out of his garage for the Austrian Army. Then, he got a contract to manufacture field knives for them (which led to the 17). He knew a bit about polymer, which was used in both. However, when it came to the polymer requirements for the 17, he used employees from the camera industry to design a formula, as that was out of his league.
 
RIP.

Personally, I think Glocks are ugly.

I'm a S&W guy, have quite a few of their revolvers. I think their M&P line is great, never had so much as one hiccup over the years. And a couple of mine run dirty as fuck.

Favorite of mine is my M&P40 2.0 with the .357 SIG conversion barrel.

And, I'll just come right out and say it: .357 SIG >>>> .357 Magnum

The Gen 5’s are supposed to be better. Haven’t tried but have a Gen 3 clone with one of those shitty hinge triggers (not a fan)
Timney alpha is getting swapped out soon.
