Your Gun is poop

[TDYRanger]

I wanted to start this thread to allow us a free forum to discuss why it is we think each others pistols (especially polymer pistols) are total doo-doo.

Let me start this out by saying The FN 5.7 is one of the most retarded things I have ever heard of. A pistol in a rifle caliber so you can shoot through every house in the neighborhood. What next a tactical carbine for home defense?!?!

I shoot XD's please feel free to say what you need to say....

this Glock killed my grandma

Sadly, i have seen almost every make and model fail. Nothing is SCLID proof.

I even shop based not just on features and function, but cost of repair and replacement.

But hell, lets throw some better aimed stones... I recently came into a Grendel P12 contingent on my fixing it. What a retarded pile of shit. Everything goes in under ridiculous spring tension. I had to build tools just to start putting the little pre kel tec abortion back together.

CZ de-cockers are garbage. Can i have a few more hair fine springs in my action, please? Way to ass up a good design.

Oh, and because i have a lot of hate, Fuck HK. Why the hell does a polymer pistol with stamped fire controlls cost twice as much as all the others? Not to mention parts being unavailable.
Sorry, larry vickers, but there is nothing special about a DAO ply .45 with a ten round capacity.

Google image search things like "gun kaboom" and "blown up gun". People have destroyed every conceivable kind

The major offenders seem to be manual repeaters, such as revolvers, and lever actions. I would say if pressed to guess its largely because of under charged hand loads. Not needing power to cycle the action, people often attempt 'light loads', nit realizing that low powder charge doesn't mean low pressure.
Primer jump burns powder awfully fast.

Another cause might be that there might not be any tell tale shirt stroking to indicate a squib on manual arm. Good ear pro and light recoil, a shooter might not notice the limp shot, and fire again into an obstructed bore.

Of course, there are many ways to skin ones hands...

Hey, you saying that Glock didn't kill my grandma?

[Irving]

I want a CZ P-07 Duty in 40. I held one at the store, and it had the worst DA trigger pull I've ever felt (they were both 9mm, doubt it matters). I still want one. With that guy they give you the parts to switch from Decocker to Safety.

Also, I made that Glock picture all by myself.

[FireMoth]

I had P-01. Same crap action. Decocker assembly meant there needed to be slave pins to take it out and put it back in, with lots of tiny springs.
And i managed to get the trigger... acceptable.
If they had just put the regular action in those pistols, they would have been great.
