Glock fanbois are on another level

[sirhrmechanic]

Here is what I am doing this afternoon…

Filing and stoning a commander-length 10mm 1911 together.

What I love about the Caspian stuff is that Nothing fits. It all has to be hand fitted. And if you can do it yourself….’l you get an amazing gun for short $$.

Hand fitted slide, bushing, barrel… working in the firing pin retainer right now. Even they needs careful fitting.

Fun relaxing project in a Sunday Afternoon.

Surprised there hasn't been more talk about these. Very interesting. More expensive than I thought they were, perhaps thats why?

That’s my thought… for that kind of $$ you can get a very, very nice tuned race gun from a proven builder with sponsored shooters.

I really like that “upside down slide” concept though

Not nearly as nice, but something similar with a Sig 1911 for my son.

Found one with a super tight slide to frame fit and spent the first weekend with it lapping in the frame, then fitting a Wilson Combat trigger and main spring:

Slowly going through it replacing the MIM parts with forged, and only running WC mags in it, but it’s a hell of a shooter for under $1K invested.

^ Less bullet drop with that method.

It also eliminates spin drift

Actually, I did a demo of that 'hold' for the dept. years ago. All you have to do is hold high and to the right (for a right hander) and use the sights like normal. Ran the set of dueling tree plates almost as fast as with 'normal' hold. Point was that the Gangsta 'hold' is no joke... it's as deadly as the Weaver stance or any other combat shooting style if you know what you are doing and practice enough. Don't underestimate stupid-looking.

See the Fuck Around Find Out Graph thread for results of underestimating anyone! Even if they look retarded.

Yes anyone shooting at you regardless of their retarded stance is a threat for sure.

These guys on YouTube get into advanced shooting techniques where they demonstrate the gangsta, modified gangsta, and super modified gangsta. Didn’t know there multiple gangsta style shooting techniques.

Polymer 80 is what a Glock wants to be, and also about as close as I’ll get to buying a Glock, better grip angle, points better especially for the 1911 types, has all the frame mods people do to glocks out the box, plus it’s much more American by its nature and better fit and finish for those who care to make it so

Only problem is it’s still a striker fire

 

[TurboTrout]

Almost every US federal agency is transitioning to Glock as well.

This shit reeks of 9mm vs 45. Fuck it. Shoot ‘em all. Use what you like. I’ve done armorers courses on VP9’s and Glocks. Glocks are legos. They are so easy a caveman could do it and that’s a good thing.

And now Glock is apparently making AR-15’s.

Not sure why folks use government workers as the gold standard on what’s good

Do SCCA drivers ask the fat black lady at the DMV for driving tips?

I wasn’t a Glock fan. Sold them all off.

Was carrying a P07 for a while.

Then my brother gave me a 43. It’s perfect when I’m out with the kids. Right in my pocket, and can’t tell it’s there.

Then a few weeks ago, I decided to look at the Glock 45 at a local shop. After a few minutes of handling it compared to a 19, it came home with me. It’s now my go to with a TLR1 in a TRex sidecar.

Do I like my CZs? (I even have a DW Vigil that’s run suprresed) Hell yes, but the 43 and now the 45 brought me back into the fold.

US Navy nuclear power plant engineers and operators are the world's fucking gold standard. The US Navy has never had a nuclear accident since it began operating power plants in 1954.

That's a record that no private or government utility in the fucking WORLD can claim.

We trained the first Royal Navy cadre before they commissioned their first nuclear submarine.

So you can go choke on some government cock. I bet you'd enjoy it.

I guess I'm too old to go gangster.

I just tried it in the privacy of my home (felt kinda trashy) and finding the sights was a separate issue in itself but I guess using the sights and using a two hand grip isn't cool when you have an extended 30+ mag to bust caps on mf'g punk-azz bitches. You feel me?

IIRC there was an incident with the Guardfish in the 1970's that was a coolant leak? People still point to it at Electric Boat and say "Never again."

That said, the Navy's record isn't gold standard. It is double platinum diamond setting with Palladium plating standard.

Rickover was a definite prick... but he knew how to create systems. If the global nuclear power industry followed Rickover's standards, Jane Fonda would have had to suck a bigger bag of dicks than she is already due to suck! But that would have been too expensive for stockholders. Idiots!

So you are right on!

Not familiar with what happened on the Guardfish. Even if it was a reactor coolant leak, so long as core cooling isn't compromised and the environment isn't placed at risk, there's nothing to talk about. Not something the civilian power industry can ever claim.

You're fucking-A right about Admiral Rickover. The culture he created is one of excellence and integrity above all else and one I am right proud to be a product of.

I am trying to talk a buddy in to doing a book called LeMay vs. Rickover.

He has a couple of books out about LeMay. And the competition between the two is amazing! But so is the comparison! Both totally driven men and beyond-brilliant men who shaped the services to this day. LeMay was always portrayed as a Visigoth. He was, in fact, highly-cerebral. He and Rickover were cut from the same cloth!

I believe it was Rickover who said "The Soviets are the opposition. The Air Force is the enemy."

Cheers!

One thing I miss on a Glock is an essential feature and part of my draw, grip and shooting technique and thats a 1911 thumb safety. Lacking one completely throws off my draw stroke.

So, if I was going to get serious with my G19 I needed to remedy that and added one. Glock fanboys may howl and say it's not needed on a Glock but fuckum'. It helps reduce muzzle flip, gives my thumb it's familiar resting place and allows me to yank and crank without worrying about the pesky Glock leg.

Glock leg only happens if you put you finger on the trigger and pull, people drop safety's and pull triggers and shoot their legs too....which makes them more dumb do to more steps.

That's not a "Glock issue" it's a stupid issue. You could have 6 safety's and dumb people will find a way.

They do make a thumb rest to add to Glock grips, forget who does it. It's held on by the rear pin like a backstrap on a gen 4

Edit for random “is” per usual..thanks apple

Yeah, no, Im not talking about one of those. Those serve no purpose other than a place to put your thumb and give a false sense of safety.

The synchronization and timing of small muscle movements go out the window in high stress situations. Thats why you have 'Glock leg' and not '1911 leg'. And the latter has been around almost a century longer.

People that 'drop safeties' and shot themselves with a hammer fired SA with thumb safeties didn't know what they were doing or how to use the thumb safety either. I've seen it first hand, not YouTube videos.

I've known more people with 1911 leg or even with general NDs with 1911s

You aren't the only one who's seen things lol.

I don't care either way what people carry, but the big 1911 fans get the most butthurt about other people's preferences by far.

Until you mention you put a 1911 type thumb safety on a Glock. And then the Glock blowflies that weren't even alive when you shot the first Glock 17 come swarming to give their expert advice.

And I call BS on the 1911 leg vs. Glock leg.

Just had a guy negligent discharge his 1911 on the draw this weekend. He was running without using the safety, and on the draw the round went out the bottom of the holster and into the ground. Thankfully no injuries.

I gotta say, using the claim that "[t]he synchronization and timing of small muscle movements go out the window in high stress situations" to justify carrying a 1911 is a pretty spicy take.

Generally speaking, putting a finger on the trigger during the draw stroke or while reholstering puts someone on the path to having a bad day, regardless of the system being used.

I'm OK with that because for most people, concealed carry in general is a fashion statement. The biggest threat to my life is a pill-popping soccer mom crossing the center line in her GMC Denali, or getting laid out by a random blood clot or malignancy. For someone of my age, demographics, and geographical location, violent assault is a statistically-trivial risk, and if it wasn't, then my first priority would be to change my life circumstances instead of deliberating about the best piece of metal to hang from my belt.

Don't misinterpret this as a mockery of the concept in general, but rather the amount of emotional energy people put into justifying their choices or attacking those of others. Have a gun, know how to use it, move on with life.

You will get killed in the streets if you don't carry all this shit with you all day every day, even while at home

 

[JoshPutman]

Safety, no safety, doesn't matter. Doesn't change my draw stroke a bit.

I carry a 1911 every day. I used to carry a M&P 2.0 with no safety occasionally. Didn't matter which one I had, my draw stroke was the same.

Establish a firing hand grip before I pulled it out of the holster. My thumb would be in the same spot regardless. The only difference was whether there was a safety there to click off or not.

1911, my thumb rode the safety. M&P, my thumb was on top of my other thumb.

It's a training issue, and becoming familiar with your weapon.

If my dumb ass can figure this shit out, anyone can.

Just need to be willing to put in the time on the range or in dry fire.

Well the dump pouch on my war belt does come in handy when I'm out Trick or Treating or working around the house. My electric impact drops right in with the spare batteries and pulled pork sandwiches.

Never rely on the damn safety, it’s a training issue. The safety fails you when not engaged and if you forget and finger fuck the trigger you can forget and not engage the safety....don’t touch the fucking trigger.
