The firearm thread

Some entertainment for the masses!

That is impressive for a Glock 17. Somebody has spent some reading their ballistics tables.
Sadly here we no longer have a 300m range, only 100m.
Even so I'd still have to peruse the manuals. Maybe during the upcoming crap weather?

Surely you can find a cocky near that has a bit of space to set up some decent ranges?

Not for a five inch barrel. That'd be naughty.

It's a sign of the times though, the local military 900x range was closed after an army officer went round the country closing just about everything.

A few decades ago the local muzzleloaders found an old historical military range, the farmer was friendly and the range was certified for 300x. That came to an end when the farmer decided to build a big new house on top of the backstop.

Twenty odd miles out of town in the other direction there was a longish range maybe 600x? It too was probably originally military about 100 years or more ago, but I have heard that there are problems with that now as well.

The local small bore range was closed too I believe. Only local fuctioning facility now is the pistol club, they have eight ranges, 1 x 100, 2 x 50, and some 25m.

When I was in Air Cadets we used to use a small bore range underneath the Colenso High school hall. Wonder if still used the way things are now???
Regret letting my licence lapse, had just started flatting when they changed everything and the $60 was $60 we didn't have...
Now after a few years of speaking ones mind where the hell do you find two referees to say something good about you

I first came across this the other day and it was lust at first sight. I posted a pic in another thread because slung across the back it would make a good addition to a cycling ensemble. Similarly, slung across the chest it'd make a great addition to my moped riding gear. The ultimate Glock accessory?

Couldn't see how you would rack the slide but apparently it has an AR15 type cocking mechanism. Haven't bothered to check the price, because even if I could afford it, I'm insufficiently creative to come up with a compelling reason to justify a permit to import.

Looks like a sig sauer ACP stock.
Have you looked into the roni or hera carbines?

I have a roni which is a bit of fun and I managed to find one cheap.

I've thought about getting an airsoft one and adapting it to fit my 45 s&w
They are made to the same dimension just made from different materials

iffen it's the one liek i done did see, theres a lever poked through the stock frame that catches the slide.

fuck glocks are gay.

Interesting. I have no idea what qualifies a handgun as gay, unless it was those little pink revolvers that S&W were trying to sell to the ladies.

Personally I can't conceive of anything in 45ACP as being particularly gay, unless maybe the carrier was wearing those bare arse chaps. But the US SEALS have Glocks and they haven't struck me as overtly gay.

So what, in the gospel according to Akzle, qualifies a gun as gay? Apart from the manufacturer being Glock of course.

[nseagoon]

Glocks are boring. The corolla of pistols.
They work. Are accurate enough but there's nothing special about them.

In saying that they are the perfect grunt gun. Slap and rack is the only sop really.

In saying that I believe the current world ipsc champ is a glock team.

you've handled and fired one, right?

A good percentage of GI's in Afghanistan ditched their issue Beretta and replaced it with a glock... out of their own money.
Something that goes "bang" when you want it to do so, is rather important in a combat situation.

[pritch]

Of course. The Glock does what it is supposed to do and does it very well, the brand has been hugely successful. They must be doing something right.
It certainly isn't a target pistol though. If you wanted a specialist target pistol you would get something different, depending on what sort of targets you wanted to aim at.
To compare the trigger on a Glock to the trigger on a target pistol would be pointless. Horses for courses and all that.

you didnt find it... Bulky? Awkward? Unbalanced at the end of a clip? Just....so much plastic? And with far, far too many 'safety features'?
