  1. SHOT show 2011: Glock

    in Pistols

    Posted

    OMG, I'm five minutes into it and I don't think I can listen to Rocky Balboa stuttering and stammering about Glock's any more. Is that guy really the face Glock wants on TNP?

    Yah I had to quit it...I wish Glock had sent a hot Austrian chick with a sexy accent!

    Camu - love you dude!! Those are sweet. I'm like a wood on gun junkie.....are those from Esmeralda?

    Yes Yes of course they are hers...I really dig 'em!

    Pablo did you see the Ed Brown Kobra I linked? Imagine those grips on the stainless Kobra. One day my friend...one day...

    You probably will be happier with out, than with one you are not happy about. My self I would like a top end race gun and all the goodies but I can't justify $5,000.00 for a 1911. 1911s are cool but I wouldn't buy one,it is better to shoot someone elses 1911. The plastic guns are a better value for the $$$$ and will last as long or longer.

    I don't want a $5000 gun I want a $2000something gun...really bad...but not bad enough to get out the credit card...I'll pay cash someday.

    That said I bet a Smith&Wesson for a thousand bucks would make me pretty happy. I really like the external extractor design on that one.

    And ummm...I like the Springfields too! I just don't have the desire for 1911's like I do other platforms. The only one that makes me drool is the Ed Brown and I just want the "plain jane" Kobra in stainless.

    That would be my one and only "Safe Queen".

    Close. Glock 23

    He's gonna get a 357 Sig conversion barrel as well. That excites me.

    I would have guessed correctly had you said 13 rounds instead of 14,15,16 I dunno! grin

    I have a G23 cool

    So how's the recoil compared to the Sig? Spill your guts! I need to know before I go buying another handgun! confused

    Right now I've got the bore soaking in Ballistol. I always use Windex after shooting the corrosive then I use a generous amount of Ballistol in the bore and whap it out with a rubber lined cable pulling a clean patch through until it comes out almost white.

    I decided this AM to do another Ballistol soak to see if I can shine up the bore a bit. I usually only use patches and the barrel has only seen the brush less than ten pulls. I can finally see that the front sight is crooked and I've got to find a way of straightening it without breaking it. That would prolly be why it shoots so wierd. I know it is supposed to shoot high and it does but the shots are always at 3 o'clock high when I aim 7 o'clock low so I'll get it figured out this Spring.

    I don't know if I wanna keep shooting this gun or just keep it and look at it once in awhile...

    I know Mitchell's Mauser are not really the authentic pieces that he claims them to be but I sure wouldn't mind having one for milshoots. I seen one of his 24/47's for $599 and the wood was absolutely gorgeous! Absolutely stunning rifle! I think if I could save up for one of those and it proved accurate I would have my competition gun. I'd rather just sit on my original and slowly restore it without changing anything. Not really a restoration but get all the cosmo off it and keep the barrel nice. I've gotten most of the visible cosmo off but on a hot day the stock oozes...

    Yugo M24/47

    7.92x57mm JS aka 8mm Mauser

    Sorry the pics are blurry. Had to use the wifey's BlackBerry as my camera died but here she is! This is my first rifle. There are many like her but this one is MINE! LMAO I've really enjoyed this gun so far. And ummm...shoots pretty good...the other day I ranked fourth outta ten Mausers and all I had to do was adjust the rear sight. Fire a practice/spotting shot. Aim a lil bit to the left because of the wind and squeeze gently on the wonderful two stage trigger until she went bang and the gong went GLANG! About a second later...

    It was awesome and I threw in a pic with the AR beside the Mauser so you would have an idea of size.

    I wish I knew more about the history of the M24/47 but it's a bit cloudy to say the least and maybe Ill add what little I know about the M24/47 later. I just wanted to get the pics up finally. cool

    Nice Nice! Barry you are a true firearms aficionado and I appreciate posts of this type. It's nice reading about them as I myself enjoy the superb fit and finish of a fine firearm. However my funds for such things are severely limited currently...

    Do enjoy reading about them though. Those Swiss are a really neat bunch. Exacto superbo neato bunch I do say!

    Excellent engineering is something you often pay for in spades as in the case of the P210. It is why I paid an extra hundred bucks to buy a Mauser when I could have settled for a Mosin-Nagant. There is just something about the way the Mauser action works compared to other actions from that time period.

    Maybe comparing the Mauser to the P210 is a bad example but what I'm trying to say is I get what you are saying about fit and finish and design.

    I'm sorta new to shooting and firearms in general but I get what you are going on about. Really nice! Gorgeous too! Gorgeous is as gorgeous does though for sure...

    I bet if you blindfolded some 1911 fruity drink drinkers and let them hold this gun and work the action...yah I bet they'd rip the blindfold off and find themselves speechless. And then tell them that it was an issued piece....

    The early Colt DAs were the 1877 and 1878 (plus variants like the 1902).

    The 1877 was nicknamed "Lightning" in .38 Colt and the .41 was called the "Thunderer".

    The 1878 had a larger frame, and was made in several calibers like the SAA, including .44-40.

    The 1878 was roughly SAA size (and I think Colt used the same cylinders at some point, and maybe barrels). People called them the "Double Action Army", or sometimes the "Frontier", which is confusing with the .44-40 SAAs being marked "Frontier Six-Shooter".

    The 1877 was a little smaller, and sized to match it's cartridges.

    They didn't sell an incredible number of either, but sold maybe three times as many more 1877s than 1878s. Both were gone by 1910, I think. I always heard the inner workings broke often, but I don't know if they meant the 1877, the 1878, or both...or if it was true at all.

    I always heard they had terribly heavy DA trigger pulls, but don't know. I know my Colt New Service, which is a different animal but made not much later (1917), has a really heavy DA pull and I'm told it's because Colt wanted to ensure 100% reliable ignition by having a strong hammer fall. I wouldn't think they would operate under a different theory when the 1877/1878s were made.

    The 1877/78s were made in a variety of barrel lengths, but when I see 1877s for sale they often have short ones. I don't know if that is how sales went or if it's just what survived or what.

    Thanks Barry and G. When I find out more I will make a new thread. I don't wanna steal Pabs thread. And Pabs...the pics? cool
