Makes sense that the .30 carbine round designed to be fired from a 16" barrel would produce lots of flash and not be efficient from a 6" barrel.
Ivanhoe Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 I got to shoot a few rounds thru an AMT AutoMag in .30 Carbine a couple of decades ago. Its a very cool gun. However, the ergos were not good. That deep curve at the top of the backstrap is seriously bothersome. The Blackhawk would be a much more fun gun to own and operate.
Stuart Galbraith Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 Has anyone ever heard of a weapon called the 'Naguchi Magnum'? It was a weapon cited in a 1960's episode of 'Callan', and im just wondering if any such weapon existed. Supposed to be a Japanese copy of an American handgun.

Ivanhoe Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 A suppressed stapler? What is this world coming to?
Ivanhoe Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 My goal is to have two guns for every cartridge I have in inventory. Long way from achieving that, but now that supply lines have recovered from Coofageddon, I've been looking at handguns. I'd like to have a DA revolver in .22 WMR. I have a Smith in .22LR, but it doesn't float my boat for some reason (still NIB, in fact). Don't really trust an autoloader in a rimfire cartridge. Unfortunately, the Good Auld Dayz of .22 WMR have seemingly passed. The only in-production options appear to be the Ruger LCRx and some Taurus BS. The LCRx would be fine as a last-ditch looter-shooter, but it would need a dot sight to be useful for shooting varmints and its a bit light to hold steady. Lesson learned; I should have bought an SP101 when they were in production.

I was kinda going to want to put my mittens in one. I think I've only seen one at the Koblenz museum...
Argus Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 I can remember seeing the P7 come out when I was a kid and just thinking THAT is how you shift paradigms. It's been my poster child for handgun innovation ever since.

shep854 Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 Kentucky Ballistics strikes again! ARs loaded then kept for over three months buried in red clay, immersed in ocean salt water, left in a freshwater pond and frozen in ice. They all fired at least once, with a couple cycling through a whole mag!

Is there a variant of the chassis that has a cutout for the thumb safety? Until now I thought you'd put an actual P320 into the chassis, while this chassis is actually a completely new pistol frame that takes the other bits of a P320: barrel, slide, trigger group...
rmgill Posted December 19, 2024 Author Posted December 19, 2024 The old chassis systems clamped around a pistol frame. These, because of the movable trigger pack that is the serialized component, allow moving to the chassis. Probably not too long before someone makes larger barrel and slide assemblies with better functionality for Cans.
rmgill Posted December 20, 2024 Author Posted December 20, 2024 In honor of Maxx who I am sure would have had conflicting emotions over a tactical lever gun in 45-70 but would have REALLY wanted one. In an alternate universe, I'd like to think that Maxx Moved to the US and started a successful and awesome guntube channel alongside Simon. Simon would probably be making retching noises over a Tactical Lever gun.

Both were quite exceptionally smart individuals that thought by themselves.
rmgill Posted December 20, 2024 Author Posted December 20, 2024 I rather guess it would have been a more ironic and sarcastic equivalent of 9-hole reviews.
Markus Becker Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Oh no, heresy from Gun Jesus. The whole bloody point was to avoid SBR-ing and you SBR.

Markus Becker Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 Yes, but he could have tried the "brace". It would have just added ~5 minutes max to the clip.
