Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone shoot a cutaway pistol before!
ReplyDeleteEven after nearly a hundred years, the artistic mechanical simplicity of a Browning designed auto pistol is still hard to beat!
Not much information to be gained over manipulating the mechanical bits of your gun as you clean them, but yeh, almost pretty to see them all working on their own. Also confirms my gut feeling that my .45 doesn't start kicking until after the bullet is well away. (Must learn to hand-load, as .45 ACP is up to $.50/round in some places!)
ReplyDeleteIt's got to take a certain kind of character to design these things, though. Once a gun is out of the factory, it doesn't care whom it kills. Hiram Maxim relaxed by designing mouse traps; I suppose having a hobby helps.
