Yup what you been up to old man

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.

Plastic sights. In 2023.



I still like Glock but they've been passed up for now. They got lazy.

I love my glocks above all other pistols and can't even bring myself to shoot anything else!

What a great product. Rip sir.

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

Of course

 

[Sobek]

Fine pistols.

RIP Gaston.

The plain white bread of firearms. A ricecake with nothing on it. Soulless, artless, & fully functional. Rest in peace in whatever your boring ass, yet completely efficient version of heaven is, Mr. Glock.

Expected Gaston Glock 94 to be a rapper

He has a few verses in the "straight outta Compton" album iirc

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.

That's an excellent rap name even alliterates.

Kalashnikov

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 are accurate, reliable,versatile, customizable, lots of aftermarket parts, resilient pistols.

really? always thought the triggers were quite shitty. even some of the upgraded ones i've tried were bad

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.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Functional perfection with the body of a Lego block. That’s how I will remember you.


Rest in Peace

You were the Father of the Striker fired handgun for all intents and purposes. And you will be missed.

I've been told this before and I hear people say it all the time but they just feel right to me. It's what I learned on , it's what I carry and I kinda got an if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality here.
