Man, they beat the shit out a that!

[Stumper]

That annoys me.

[cory]

It gets me psyched, that something could be apparently so well designed and made, that it can take all that over-the- top abuse and still function pretty well. It's quite a testimonial for the product. Especially when conventional wisdom says revolvers are the simpler and therefore more reliable pistols, and semis are supposedly less reliable and more finicky.

[lumberjack]

A revolver has quite many more parts than a Glock. A Glock has 37, 5 are in the magazine.

[Bodean]

Looks like I know what gun I'm buying when the redcoats come.

I'm convinced, seems pretty sturdy.

[CurSedVoyce]

38 smith and wesson police special revolver... It works :D

So does my Mosin Nagant and AK47, but I don't tote them everywhere....

All kidding aside, I love my Glock 19, but am looking to trade it for a 36 slimline, seeing as I now have a major collection of .45 that came with my 1911.

The ONLY Glock I heard of having problems was a little old lady that kept hers in the oven "for safe keeping":? She forgot about it and baked a cake. Gun fired, but would not cycle because the frame was warped to badly.
Anything else, they just PLAIN WORK!!
I don't need one, but wouldn't have a problem buying another. I was nothing but happy with my G19 other than the 9mm round.

[jamie]

i'll be the weirdo, never held or fired a gun, if i was given a shot i'd like a shot but never felt the need to have one

[darkstar]

Im on no guns for three weeks punisment to myself , for shooting a hole in my own window.

[Mr. Sir]

Haha! I shot my aquarium once, but that was a LONG time ago. :lol:

[MasterBlaster]

I just heard there was a handgun three times as powerful as a .44 mag, a 500 magnum. Lordy! WTF gun is THAT? :?

[RentalDude]

I just heard there was a handgun three times as powerful as a .44 mag, a 200 something or the other. Lordy! WTF gun is THAT? :?
I think it's the 500 Smith & Wesson.

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, I just saw it again. Damn, I bet that thing has a kick to it! I wonder why such a short barrel? I'd was a slab side underlug on it just for that.

[RentalDude]

I've never shot one but I bet it hurts.

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, that Gary the Master Blaster dude even kinda looked like me! :\:

[No_Bivy]

thats what I thought too:O

[MasterBlaster]

It's pretty fricking amazing. I could post that and say it was me and it would pass.

I would never wear those gay socks, though.

[RentalDude]

Sounds like you have a good case of copyright infringement. This youtube dude is trying to steal your identity.

[Stumper]

The 500 really doesn't kick too bad-Too stinking loud though.

[RentalDude]

I have a soft spot in my heart for 44 mags. The little one on the bottom makes plenty of noise.

[Thor's Hammer]

I think some company builds a 600 nitro express revolver...
edit - found it -
http://www.vincelewis.net/60magnum.html

[RentalDude]

That is a monster but I just don't think of it as a real "Handgun". http://www.vincelewis.net/50magnum/600-gun-5.JPG

[stig]

This is getting ridiculous.
If handgun developement continues this way, eventually someone will find a way to put a handle on an 18" naval gun and call it " the worlds largest handgun"

[cybergeek23851]

I got a chance to shoot one a few weeks ago... the 8 3/8" compensated model. It was awesome!
:D

Kick wasn't that bad, it's engineered for the loads it handles.

[lumberjack]

I have the 8" 500 and a 5" 460, neither kick (subjective) but they are hella loud.

Noone has ever not smiled after shooting them with me.

[Bodean]

Here's a 45 magnum at the range.
and some other guns,
I don't know anything about guns, I just like to shoot them.

[MasterBlaster]

I have the 8" 500


No shit? Goddamn, make sure you bring that sucker if you ever come visit me!

<ah>

[Bodean]

Nice. funny. lol.

[MasterBlaster]

I'm there for ya, buddy! :P

[Frans]

The worlds most powerful pistol is the Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. It is chambered to fire the British developed .600 caliber rifle bullet originally made by Holland and Holland. This revolver was not originally a full production model but a one off, built especially for a wealthy Swiss gent...Mr. Zeliska.

But if you would like one and I am sure that a few of you 'gunslingers' with a bit of disposable income would, then contact Pfeifer arms ( url near bottom of page ) and they will make one for you. Priced at 13,840 Euro's. This equates as $17,316* or £11,722* including Tax ( *at Exchange rate as of 20 November 2008 )

[MasterBlaster]

I ain't gonna spend a weeks pay on that. :drink:

[sawinredneck]

How does the "Judge" recoil with ful house .410 rounds Carl? I have a buddy thinking about getting one, but he sufers from MS and I don't kow that he will have enough grip for it.

[lumberjack]

It's not terrible.

Of all the guns in that picture, the Judge with .410's is what I'd pick if I had to choose something to get shot by.

[MasterBlaster]

I don't know shit, but I like the Judge.

[sawinredneck]

It shoots .45 long Colt shells, or .410 shotgun shells. Nasty little sucker!!

[lumberjack]

IMO, 45LC is the only suitable option for defense against anything but varmits/snakes.

Even then, 45LC isn't that great, given the price of the gun.

[cory]

What's the diff between the Glock G19 and the G34?

[sawinredneck]

The 19 is a compact 9mm, the 34 is more a range gun in 9mm.
The 45LC isn't an ideal load, but with some modern hollow points, I think it would be rather formidable in a defensive gun. Just a lack of development is holding it back.

[lumberjack]

Pretty much the G34 is a G17 with a longer slide, the lowers are interchangable.

The G19 is my favorite all around pistol. It's grip is different than the G17 in more ways than it being shorter. The "hump" is farther up the grip in relation to the web of the thumb, which fits my hand better.

The G14/34/17L all have a 17+1 capacity. The G19 is 15+1.

[Paul B]

LJ, you are speaking code, whats the real deal? :)

[RentalDude]

Carl does this say Lady Smith?

LJ, you are speaking code, whats the real deal? :)

G14/34/17L in a 17+1 means that it will hold 17 rounds of 9mm in the magazine, and one in the chamber.

G19 in 15+1 means it holds 15 rounds of 9mm in the Magazine and one in the chamber.

[MasterBlaster]

Carl does this say Lady Smith?

<ls>

[lumberjack]

Ha yes it does, my "mothers."

[RentalDude]

And a darn fine gun it is...I have about the same one in a Boys version. Darn it some stole my hammer spir though.

[darkstar]

Carl what do think about the p3at.
I like ours, for a pocket pistol.
Im amazed at what i can hit with it up to 10 yards.
Its so freaking tiny, I carry mine everywhere.

[lumberjack]

It's one of my least favorite guns.

Mainly because it didn't like WWB 380. I've been told that it would like some brands and wouldn't like others, or I could send it back to KT and they could do there thing to it.



I'd trade it locally for a Toyota 8" front axle so fast yo head would be spinnin. If I had to drive I'd want cash too.;)

[Stumper]

I haven't tried WWB in mine but it likes Remington ball and Independence(Federal) I carry Rem 'cause it is faster/hotter than the Fed.

[darkstar]

What can u compare the 3pat to that is as light weight?

[lumberjack]

What can u compare the 3pat to that is as light weight?

My 357 is 3.5 oz heavier loaded/loaded. Loaded with 38's is .5oz lighter than 357's.

[MasterBlaster]

I had a 6" Python for a while. It was nice.

[Stumper]

What can u compare the 3pat to that is as light weight?

The Ruger LCP.

[lumberjack]

The Ruger is a copy of the P3AT, but that had to be tongue in cheek. ;)

[darkstar]

So far i havent found any major flaws in my p3at. I dont see whats not to like.Tiny, accurate.
No jams so far.

[lumberjack]

Congrats?

[darkstar]

So what dont you like about it Carl?

[lumberjack]

It's one of my least favorite guns.

Mainly because it didn't like WWB 380. I've been told that it would like some brands and wouldn't like others, or I could send it back to KT and they could do there thing to it...

I expect my guns to go bang every time I squeeze the trigger until they go dry.

[darkstar]

Ok , good advice.
Ill plop in a few hundred , heel yeah , tonight.
