YAGT: OMG I love guns

[highland145]

I'd send that pot metal piece of shit back for a replacement of my money. Fuck. That.

2nd. That's hosed up.

 

[Skel]

I have very little patience.

I am getting better but I think I'm going to shopping for a trade. Or just officially designate her a safe queen.

Stupid question, but have you had anyone else fire it to verify the sights are OK? I've had a couple of pistols that the sights fell out of alignment due to them being bounced around in a gun case. It was driving me nuts but after handing them to someone else who also was shooting the same as I, I adjusted the sights and it was perfect... as perfect as I can shoot that is.

Zinc, as heavy as steel, weaker than aluminum.

S&W put looking cool ahead of engineering. It looks like it cracked right around some of the sharp edges of the ejection port.

If you're gonna build a gun out of dogshit 'zinc alloy,' it needs to be designed for it. Example:

Hi-points are very well-engineered pieces of shit. No thin spots, no sharp edges. They are highly aware of the limitations of the materials.

It's a walther.....

Sights aren't adjustable

any reputable places to find quality 80% lowers? thinking of doing a complete build it myself now.

Hey wiz, this is strange. That C566 I bought from you doesn't do 850 at 1.7v... it does it at 1.6 . It does 892 at 1.65v . I've been running Q3 loops all day to confirm stability. I wonder if the BM6 has anything to do with it. Some slotkets may be better than others, but I think people lose stability using a slotket no matter what they do. I'm gonna test the chip on a BH6 in another system I've got and see. Results will be reported soon.

Get them now, the jackbooted thugs at the ATF may be going after them. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/1...turn-over-customer-list-to-federal-officials/

...made exclusively by Smith and Wesson.

Maybe a German was behind all the design and simply spec'd it out for ultra-budget US manufacture, but...I kinda doubt that S&W didn't have a big role there. For fuck's sake, they've single-handedly made the PP design, verging on a century old, about as reliable as a fart in the wind. Go figure that their budget P99-themed rimfire sucks....

The P22 is made in Germany, entirely by Walther. Smith and Wesson simply handles the import and distribution.

eyeglasses are not safety glasses.

If they're prescription safety glasses, with side shields, they are. Requires the same polycarbonate lenses that safety glasses (non-prescription) use.

Otherwise, NO. Plastic lenses usually found in eye glasses will NOT protect your eyes like safety glasses will.

and If they're prescription safety glasses they will have a dot ground on the lenses.

Ooh

Sorry. I just saw the banner, didn't read the details.

Spent all afternoon out shooting with some friends. Exhausted, and sunburned, but it was an excellent day.

One of my friends had a CZ 452 Trainer. That thing is so much fun, and so accurate. I just sat on a hill for about an hour with a box of ammo just plinking at whatever I could see. I'm pretty sure my next purchase will be a CZ, though I'm thinking about the 455 model with the Mannlicher stock.

OK?

Did that other poster say he had prescription safety glasses?

That was my point, bro.

always read the details kid, this ain't no EULA you just click through.

Reading is FUNdamental.

I get prescription stuff from ZenniOptical that also meets the ANSI impact requirements.

 

[shortylickens]

Are side shields on prescription glasses ok for ranges? Glasses suck when you have to use safety glasses.

the main lenses should really be impact/shatter proof.

But side shields are good for keeping hot brass off your eyeball. Thing is you should also have something on top too, keeps brass from slipping in up there.

The past two times I've gone to the range I've had an ejected .223 and .22 somehow wedge themselves between my safety glasses and the end area of my eyebrow. Not a lot of fun. I could definitely see how accidents happen at the range with someone freaking out with something like that and flailing their gun around.

The 455's are awesome rifles Very accurate right out of the box even at 100 yards.
Youd definitely be happy with one!

It's a walther.....

Not really... it's just Walther branded. It's made by Umarex which is the parent company of Walther.

I'm not clear on exactly what Umarex even is (I had thought they were an importer), but I did confirm that I was wrong about the country of manufacture. P22's are stamped 'made in Germany.' I must've confused what I read about PPK production, which is definitely all US by the S&W factory. Previously in the US by Interarms, and before that, the more desirable German models.

The new ones sure FEEL extremely well-made. A stainless model is sex in my hands. But reliability is reportedly shit. I guess it's one of those dumb import law things. PPK's probably must be made here for the same reason that Glock had to produce the 42 in the US.

I had a hard time getting over buying an Exeter-made P239. But from what I can tell, Sig's quality issues are much more on a model-by-model basis, and as much as I want to, cannot be boiled down to 'German = good, US = poop.'

Which leads to the reason I opened this thread up right now, anyhow...can someone recommend me a place to buy grips for my P239? I would like to have another crack at making my own, but I don't think I wanna put the time in. Looking for either affordable (not $100+) wood grips or perhaps something else. I like Hogue's aluminum and G10 grips (and they make DAK-specific ones that properly delete the area for the decocker), but I can only find them through Hogue or otherwise at absurd >$100 list prices. $120 for a couple G10 compact grip panels....I mean, really now?

And I thought $80 for G10 CZ grips was dumb...

 

[phucheneh]

Also, can anyone tell me how durable anodized grips are? My general experience with anodized parts would make me think that while they might not scratch super easy, a decent gouge or abrasion would leave a bare spot and no good way to fix it. At least with wood, you can fix stuff with sanding and application of more oil. And G10 is a matte uncoated material, so light damage is hard to notice. But coated metal = you're boned.

If I had a two-tone or nickel gun, I would of course have to have wood. That's just obvious. But for the low-key all black look, these seem classy as fuck. Black anodized alloy grips on a black anodized alloy frame just seems 'right.'

 

[marvdmartian]

That was my point, bro.

I didn't have any issue with what he said. I had an issue with what you said,

eyeglasses are not safety glasses.

which was, essentially, WRONG. Be specific in your answers, BRO.
