Being late isn’t going to stop me from buying one if it’s better (for me) than the other options. And the extra cost with HK also pays for more thorough R&D and better QC relative to just about every other mass-production firearms manufacturer these days. Unlike virtually every new design SIG...
I mostly hate the cases and boxes, regardless of how nice they are. But, being a collector, I’m condemned to reserving space for many dozens of the cursed things.
I'm not really a fan of racking the slide with the safety engaged. Done at speed, the slamming of the exposed decocking cam on the right-side safety/decocker lever (with the weight of the slide behind it) into the hammer release lever is just putting unnecessary stress on small parts, IMO.
For some, yeah. He’s referring to his two specific Kahrs, not to every Kahr.
My P380 made it through about 150 rounds before it started having every problem under the sun, and four return trips to the factory for warranty service failed to restore the gun to proper working condition.
A Kahr(ap) P380. Absolute nightmare of a pistol. My ownership of it would be a past-tense thing, but I can’t sell the piece of junk to anyone in good conscience.
I sent the guns I was referring to earlier down the road a while ago.
There’s really no point in starting this conversation until you have (1) properly cleaned and lubed the gun, (2) shot it with decent factory ammo, and (3) nonetheless continued to experience malfunctions.
It doesn't actually matter. We're not talking about felt recoil. Recoil force and recoil energy are matters of simple Newtonian physics. For a given bullet weight and velocity, the structure of the recoiling system (semi-auto, revolver, test barrel mounted in a fixture bolted to a concrete slab)...
Yeah, sure, but there’s plenty of room between recommending guns that one hates and only plugging one’s pet pistol/brand as the one-size-fits-all “best” pistol for anyone.
Threads like this mostly just generate responses where people tell the OP to buy their favorite gun.
All of those — and several others — are reputable guns and brands. You shouldn’t be recommending a single “best” handgun. “Best” depends upon individual fit. You should give him a list of...
It's a calculus problem. Focus on the area under the pressure-travel curve — the average pressure exerted on the projectile by the propellant — not solely the peak pressure figure, which is achieved for only a small fraction of the time that the bullet is in the barrel.
What effect do you think...
