Weekend Gun Thread
"I consider it a truly grand thing. It will be an irrevocable part of political life that guns are downloadable, and we helped to do that." Cody Wilson
Undermining gun control by legal means. To borrow a phrase, "I love it when a plan comes together."
California resident? Haven't registered any of your "assault weapons"? Some advice for you. Also maybe it's time to leave
Have you found some extra loose change in your auto? Perhaps under some couch cushions. Interesting gun sale. If any of you 'rons or 'ettes purchase from Steyr Arms let us know about it.
But will your skin be back in 20 minutes? The Chinese say they have one bad-ass laser assault weapon.

I didn't ask about the mysterious Sig P365 that they also didn't have.
I didn't buy a Ruger LCP instead just because.
I didn't take down and add a little Hoppes to said LCP today that I didn't buy yesterday for $224, all in.
Anyway, If I had done all of the above, would any of the horde have any personal experience with said weapon that I totally don't have?

I've got one an old Winchester 9410 and absolutely love it. It's one of my favorite guns by a long shot, and is a viable pot-filler with shot for squirrels and deer at 50 yards or so using slugs.

Put another box through the Star BM. It still wants to hammer bite me. Though it got me thinking, maybe I'm SUPPOSED to be wearing gloves with this gun? I mean it was police issue in Spain. Yup, wearing gloves, no blood lost, no accuracy lost, either. Good little pistol, all things considered.
Also put two boxes through the Glock 36. Damn, that thing is like a laser. But it does buck. The G36 is actually smaller and lighter than the Star BM, while holding only one round less.
Technology is cool.

I'm pretty certain that is an air rifle. There appears to be a hinge at middle of the barrel just in front of the end of the stock.
Bad form. Mrs Cop wants to have the butt plate too high, also. It seems a lot of female novice rifle shooters have a problem: probably because they don't want to smoosh their bewbs.

I had one, but got rid of it in favor of a Bersa Thunder .380. Yeah, the Bersa and heavier, being an all metal gun, but that's why it works for me.

I love my Glock 36. Fits my hand perfectly and points naturally at the target. Not much bigger than an old school .380 ACP, such the Walther PPK/S, but chambered in .45ACP! It was what I carried as a Detective.
That being said, it does buck a bit but I don't think that they are uncontrollable. The G36 is rather under-appreciated, but I think they are a great pistol.

Those of us still in the Seattle area have learned over the past few years not to lead with any pro-gun/2A/self-defense statements when meeting new people.
A few drinks in, it is usually pretty obvious if the newbie is friend or foe to Constitutional rights. I always check now, and they don't even know it.
And I am not referring to the ones that are truly batshit-crazy pinkhats. Lots and lots of them around.
A few years ago, went to a gathering at a friend-of-a-friend's home. A couple of good friends were there, and we proceeded to talk like we talk here at an AoS gun thread.
A new neighbor came up and said, "wow, I just moved here and I didn't think any one talked like you guys do". Later that season, we took him out to the woods for some target shooting. Now another friend for life.

I know of a second. Her dad is an avid hunter and was showing off pictures of his 18 year old daughter with her first buck. I looked and said, "Nice buck; hey, is that a Winchester model 12?" Ended up being her grandfather's shotgun (himself an avid hunter).

Not at all. I fully expect the police to blindly follow orders no matter what. Just as you are to assume the gun is loaded no matter what, assume the cop you are dealing with does not see any difference between "legal" and "moral".

Like NY State, big difference from the NYC to upstate. Although you
would be surprised the number of hunters that come upstate during big
game season. Not all city people are soy boys.
Back in the late 70's I had a loft on Greenwich street. On of my neighbors was a black dude who was a plumber by trade. He was also a big game hunter and reloader.

This week was Star Super B week. Nice 1911 knock off in 9mm made by the
now defunct but fondly remembered Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A.
-------------------
I wish one of the many 1911 clonemakers would take a look at the Super B and make a 1911 with all of those improvements. Hi-Power lockup, no grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, slick take-down latch... Those hombres got it right.
Mine's a jam-a-matic, though (with FMJ). Need to replace the recoil spring and try some 147-grainers with it.
There's a 9mm Largo version whispering to me at the local LGS. $300. Seems silly to have two of the same gun, but it's a different caliber, so... maybe.

I got pinged in my stupid peanut head by peering under the scope on a G3 to use the drum sights. A co-worker who shoots and was there that day mentioned to another that "the rifle came back and hit hogmartin in the head" and the guy (not a shooter) absolutely couldn't grasp the concept of hurting your dumb self at the range and not actually being shot, even after we diagrammed it on a whiteboard and did a reenactment.

You've probably worked with this guy, or one of his myriad engineering clones then.

went off to run a quick, simple errand, only to get chased around the neighborhood by two assholes in a new Chevy pickup.
my crime, apparently, was not getting out of the way when they took their half out of the middle of the parking lot lane. we didn't actually bump, but it seemed to enrage their tender sensibilities.
they broke off pursuit at my last turn, which is just as well for them, since Resident 3vil met me in the front yard 15 seconds later with her Glock handy.

See? I've heard both of these, and "cannon-cockers" and something like "lanyard pullers" or whatever. I don't know which are OK and which aren't.
OTOH, a civilian once stressed to me that he respectfully pronounced it subMARiner instead of submaREENer because he'd been reliably informed that the latter was an open invitation to a bloody fistfight, which was the first time I'd ever heard that I was supposed to give a shit. I'd heard it both ways, from people wearing actual dolphin pins, while underwater.

I was in a Fire Support Team (abbreviated as "FIST") and worked closely with the infantry. We were basically smart grunts and carried radios and blew $h!t up by dropping artillery projectiles on said $h!t.
We called ourselves "Fist F*ckers" and the gun crews "Gun
Bunnies." Since bunnies and machismo don't exactly coincide, I imagine the gun crews weren't particularly thrilled by that term.
Field Artillery = "Cannon Cockers" as a generic non-insulting nickname.

Then, at least at first you'll be limited to whatever the range rents (some have a lot of handguns, some don't).
Beyond that, plenty here will have better ideas (I don't carry and don't focus on carry-suitable hardware). Would only say do not over look revolvers, and do not ignore that you might want your carry guns to be shootable and fun enough that you'll both practice and become proficient with them.
Some of the lightweight revolvers and even semi-autos (as discussed by others above) are "for carrying/having, not shooting" - meaning they're unpleasant enough to shoot that it's unlikely you'll practice much.

The VP9 and VP9sk have little bunny ears on the back of the rear slide serrations for just this purpose. It's one of those things that, once you use it, you wonder why every gun doesn't have them.

Never heard the term "Lanyard Puller" before, but it strikes me as vaguely insulting (i.e., a euphemism for masturbation). Go with "Cannon Cocker" if you don't want to get a negative reaction.

I can appreciate this, but I can't relate to it.
I like cooking, and I hate doing dishes. But field stripping a weapon after a range trip and cleaning/lubing it and putting it back together and function-testing it is just as enjoyable as shooting it. Sometimes more so; it's very relaxing.

If you're talking handguns, using factory ammo, really really not a big deal. First, most modern guns don't want/need that much cleaning. Second, a quick wipedown, a snake through the bore and/or cylinder chambers, maybe a drop of lube (for semis) - that's really it.
Plus, gun shops these days often have cleaning services. Have never used them, but for the cleaning-averse, perfect. Once a year, at most, pay someone to do a full disassembly and cleaning.

My one Springfield experience is their cheap 1911 (combat?). After getting a few things buffed down and buttoned up it became a really great little pistol. Common 1911 stuff, but I still never gained complete trust in it after that. If something doesn't go bang in my Glocks (and Sigs, and personal favorite brand - Rugers) then I know it's the ammo. If the Springfield acts funny I always figure it's the gun first. Which is a shame, because it really is a great gun. I just can't trust it like I'd like to.

They're exactly like BMW and Mercedes in that people either snort their Cristal through their noses whenever they remember that there are poors who don't own HKs, and people who joke about the idiots who pay a premium for the same hole in the same paper, I think.
The VP9 feels more Sig-like than Glock-like, aside from being a striker gun. That's the only one I have, and it's the Mercedes CLA of HKs in that it's an entry-level model for uppity poors who wish they could

I always thought the build quality on Sigs and HKs appeared just a little better than Glocks, but it might be my familiarity and the way Glocks are all the same except for the scale of the model. I've shot so many Glocks they don't feel that special to me, and then someone hands me a P7 or even an old $300 police Sig from the 80s and I think, "Wow, these are really well made guns."
I haven't shot any new ones from either manufacturer, but I'll probably end up getting a Sig 365 as a main carry weapon when the demand dies down a bit.

Since I shoot lead reloads in the 1911, it gets totally disassembled and cleaned every 1,000 rounds or so, since the lube on lead bullets gunks up a gun like soft wood fouling a chimney. But I sort of enjoy that one - play webcasts of "Gun Talk" while I do it.

Iraq war veteran Leonard Cottrell Jr. says that last month New Jersey police tried to confiscate his firearms without a warrant - and he did not let them take them.
Two police officers visited his home "because his 13-year-old son had made a comment at school about the Millstone Middle School's security, and the officers wanted to confiscate Cottrell's firearms as part of an investigation," NJ.com reported.
Cottrell, who legally owns a shotgun and a handgun, is a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served multiple tours during "Operation Iraqi Freedom."
Cottrell says that his wife let the officers into their home and let them search their sons' room where they did not find any weapons but then the officers tried to take his firearms, which "he has all the correct permits to own."
"No one from the state was going to take my firearms without due process," Cottrell said, according to NJ.com.
The police's attempt to confiscate Cottrell's firearms comes after Democrat Governor Phil Murphy signed into law a bill that makes it easy for law enforcement to confiscate firearms without due process.

Kinda different but similar fed law. Misdemeanor spousal abuse is also a permanent taking of ones 2nd amendment rights. Back when the law was passed I remember lots of stories about policemen losing their careers over this law.

I worked at that company (it's an anagram of 'Sysco Foods').
They hired some wanna be tough guy as senior developer. That Friday I had to give a talk about something. At the end he tore my talk apart. Fair enough, I'm not a public speaker. But then after that humilation and we're back to our cubicles, he starts busting my balls over other random shit.
That was his thing: find a weak link, assert dominance. Toxic company, that one. (And their food is bland and lousy too.)

Yes, I think they ask about that one on the 4473. Some of the guys on our boat couldn't stand armed watches if MAs had ever been called to their houses by their wives. Which is kind of a not-uncommon thing for junior enlisted couples, apparently.

What was that tale about Davy Crockett? I think it involved killing two wild animals, one a bear, with one shot by splitting the bullet in two or something.
Or maybe it was Daniel Boone.
On the Beverly Hillbillies, "ricochet shooting" was a favorite pastime. They'd light matches with a bullet after bouncing it off a rock.
They thought shooting skeet with a shotgun was just cheating. They used a rifle.

I recently got some kinda/sorta good news about the boss I was complaining about a few weeks ago: long story short, my ONE co-worker can't stand my boss's attitude either.
Interesting though: last week when my boss started getting after *her,* this co-worker openly said "I don't know if this job is for me, maybe I shouldn't continue to work here much longer." Suddenly my boss was more cordial, let the topic go and started just talking about random social stuff with this co-worker. Hmm.
Of course, they're both women... ;-)

Hook your thumb through your belt loop. Hold a rifle at your hip and hook your finger through the trigger guard. Apply forward tension on the rifle until it trips the trigger, which sends the rifle back under recoil, until it is arrested and overcome by the force of you continuing to pull it forward.
That's bump firing. A bump stock is a stock that mechanically assists that process without using the belt loop.

I am unsympathetic to the poor little felons, who are unlikely to be of much use in the defense of the Republic in any case. Right now, it's a clearly understood rule, and an additional disincentive to commit a felony. They should be remembering that before they commit the felony. Remove that penalty, and the reasoning will likely be "Well, what the heck. Five years after I get released, I can get a gun and I'm back in business!"

I've had this discussion a lot.
When the government tells me that a pedophile can't live near a school, have a computer or put out a pumpkin at Halloween, what I feel like they are really telling me is that the pedo is not reformed and likely to commit the same crime again.
That means, to me anyway, that they should still be in prison.
Likewise, when you tell me that someone is not to be trusted with Constitutional rights, you are telling me they should still be locked up.

It's called the CS12-80 80% Combat Shotgun, and it's a hybrid of a Mossberg 500 12ga pump action shotgun and an AR15.
Same action and reliability of the Mossy 500, but with the furniture and controls of an AR15. Easier to handle, intuitive to use, AND you can build yourself a nice shorty using a Shockwave parts kit (14" barrel) and an AR arm brace (like the nice new adjustable length ones from SB Tactical).
It's never been a shotgun before you finish it, and it was designed to be over 26" in OAL length with a 14" barrel and an AR arm brace.
Parts kits are readily available from many sources (eBay, gun parts houses like EveryGunPart.com, etc), and the receiver set comes with the jig you'll need to finish them using a router and hand drill (or better yet, a router and a drill press). We also sell the cutting tools you'll need, but since there is nothing proprietary involved there, you can buy them locally if you prefer.
I know this seems a bit spamy, but it's on topic, and I've been commenting here sporadically since before Jug Ears usurped the Cherry Blossom Throne, so I'm not some rando asshole (I'm a known asshole).
If you want to help a fellow Moron out, and stick it to the man just a little, you might wander over to the site my name links to above and see if you like what you see.
