Title: Glock 43
Post by: Powerlift66 on May 15, 2016, 12:50:47 PM
Nice gun... Libtards were starring me down as I left the gun store with it yesterday.
They were very tough, and very proud of themselves.

Gonna have AJ build me an AR. That is all Libtards, go fuck yourselves...

The previous 42 apparently confiscated on grounds of irresponsible brandishment.  If you worked in marketing you'd be fired for almost but not quite creating a brand.  When you came home after work and the missus asks if you want a drink you'd tell her to fetch you something brandyish.  If you were a rich englishman and a balloon aficionado you'd be Richard Brandish.

Plastic grip panels. And it holds 5 with one in the pipe and the .25 is a shitty round. That gun would do better if you put it in a sock with a bunch of rocks and beat the guy to death.

Actually, it's 6+1, and I carry two at a time.  So 12+2.   :D

As great as beating you with rocks sounds, I make it a habit to either a.) not show up to scheduled gunfights or b.) at least bring a gun

To be clear, I have several 1911s and I lust after a Python, but neither are great CCW guns.

The best all-around carry gun is the Glock 19, hands down.

It goes without saying the ex-Brit military will bring up the BHP. Had one, sold it. It's a nice all-steel double stack, but the gun locking up without a mag in a deal breaker. Also, SAO isn't very modern.

I remember about 30 years ago a small arms expert was giving us a class. He was showing the class various hand gun rounds. When he took out the .25 ACP one guy laughed. He took the round and threw it at his head. He had a bloody mark on his forehead. The instructor said imagine if I shot you with that?

Hornady makes a fantastic .25ACP round. Every ballistic gel test even with denim shows about 11 inches of penetration and good expansion. Of course I'm not saying this is a superior round. What I am saying is so many handguns are not carried because of the size. They are hard to conceal or if you have them concealed they are pain after a couple of hours. Something like a Browning can be carried in a pocket with a pocket holster to stop the printing of the outline. Making an all day tee shirt and jeans carry an all day possibility.  

I have carried for 31 years. The Glock is a great tool. Never jams and has big combat sights that are quick to find.  The trigger is decent too.

I carry a winter gun and a summer gun. If anyone is interested I will tell why I made those choices for myself. Winter is a Sig 9MM and Summer is Smith & Wesson .38 special.

They do not use it now. It was used in my time  :) They use the Glock 17 now according to what i have been told. I only ever used the browning which was standard issue at my time on operations in civilian clothes. Later in another Job doing Security. I would still use one, an excellent sidearm. I was a Marksman with this.

It's not that I don't believe the story...but no. I really don't believe that bullshit story. No instructor would throw live ammo at a student. Hell, no instructor is supposed to have live ammo in a classroom.

That, plus NOBODY in the small arms instruction world would try to rationalize the pathetic .25. Just wouldn't happen. The round barely surpasses a .22LR. It's a round whose only purpose would be to enrage an attacker and make them kill you harder.

30 years ago, there was no decent modern hollow-point ammo for the .25. The ONLY way a thrown .25 round would pierce the skin is if it manages to magically hit with the sharper edge of the hollow point. Since the round was not anachronistic, it had to be a lead or FMJ round which UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN BE THROWN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DRAW BLOOD.

So no, still not buying the bullshit story.

It's not that I don't believe the story...but no. I really don't believe that bullshit story. No instructor would throw live ammo at a student. Hell, no instructor is supposed to have live ammo in a classroom.

That, plus NOBODY in the small arms instruction world would try to rationalize the pathetic .25. Just wouldn't happen. The round barely surpasses a .22LR. It's a round whose only purpose would be to enrage an attacker and make them kill you harder.

No, live ammo in a classroom? I guess you were never in the military or police. I understand a civilian training carry class or a hunting one having that rule with people with questionable backgrounds and knowledge. I can take a OO buckshot and throw it at your skull and leave a mark and that's round. Who said he would rationalize the .25?  I doubt you would let anyone shoot you in the skull with a .22lr or a .25ACP FMJ.

The .25ACP is a really weak round. To reiterate what I wrote previously Hornady makes a really nice round in the .25ACP. A baby Browning on your person is worth more than a double stack 9MM in your trunk when trouble comes.

Ahhh, the venerable 380.  Great little gun.  Small, lightweight, and packs a punch.  Good choices.   :)

The .380 is the bare minimum for CCW and I usually only recommend it to women.

I've taught civilian, military and police in my time and in all classroom instruction, there's no live ammo in the classroom. Your story is bullshit.

What are you a civilian NRA instructor? I have been a correction officer in max prison, a city cop and a State Trooper for 25 years. Yes, a six figure paid professional with three police academies. Yes, there is live ammo in class rooms. I agree there should be no live ammo with simpletons like you.

So you rotate your carry weapon between an ancient jam-o-matic in a pathetically weak caliber with near zero capacity and an oversized, overweight, inconcealable six-round wheel gun in a wannabe over-penetrating caliber? Christ, man.

If I'm going into a really sketchy neighborhood, I take my 45 Super.   8)

You memory is likely going with the rest of your body. It's live ammo on the range, dummy ammo in the class. Even SEALs do it that way. And yea, I was S3 and it was my MOS to train military.

I remember about 30 years ago a small arms expert was giving us a class. He was showing the class various hand gun rounds. When he took out the .25 ACP one guy laughed. He took the round and threw it at his head. He had a bloody mark on his forehead. The instructor said imagine if I shot you with that?

Hornady makes a fantastic .25ACP round. Every ballistic gel test even with denim shows about 11 inches of penetration and good expansion. Of course I'm not saying this is a superior round. What I am saying is so many handguns are not carried because of the size. They are hard to conceal or if you have them concealed they are pain after a couple of hours. Something like a Browning can be carried in a pocket with a pocket holster to stop the printing of the outline. Making an all day tee shirt and jeans carry an all day possibility.  

I have carried for 31 years. The Glock is a great tool. Never jams and has big combat sights that are quick to find.  The trigger is decent too.

I carry a winter gun and a summer gun. If anyone is interested I will tell why I made those choices for myself. Winter is a Sig 9MM and Summer is Smith & Wesson .38 special.

I think you are 100% telling the truth. I mean, Powerlifter66 is supposed to be  a responsible gun owner, and he brandished a firearm at civilians who were demonstrating their 1st amendment rights. You just never know with these people and their guns. If Powerlift66, who proclaims he is a responsible gun owner, displayed irresponsible behavior, I believe any story like this about gun owners.

I agree...the minimum caliber to carry.  I carry a 380 when I have to wear dress shirts at the office or during the summer.  It gets hot in Texas and a mouse gun tossed in the pocket is a great solution when making quick trips to the store.  During the fall when I can wear suit coats I carry the Shield.  In the winter I carry a Glock 23 OWB under heavy coats.'

I recently switched my 380 to FMJ from hollow points.  Saw some interesting penetration tests that convinced me to try it.

Nah man. I can't argue with a .45 Super. It'll cure what ails yah. I am gonna convert over to carrying my S&W .500 Magnum as a small carry gun. The blast alone should discourage any goblins in the vicinity.

Should make a nice bug.  Maybe think about a pocket holster.   ;D

Great gun, crisp break on the trigger, lightweight, small, etc.  38's can pack a punch.   ;D
