Grandfather’s Iver Johnson Target Sealed Eight .22, Father’s U.S. Revolver .32 Short break-top, Father-in-law’s 870 Magnum Express in 12 ga we call The Beast, my wife’s Grandfather’s Sears and Roebuck .22 pellet rifle. One I plan on passing on is my matte stainless CZ75.
Now if it were a Krispy Kreme launcher…they’d be on to something!!
Nice try, but I use keyboard covers these days!
I wonder what pepper spray tastes like on Krispy Kremes…….?
Healthy snacks, there. I guess SHOT Show is trying hard to overcome the OFWG stereotype.
You just dashed some poor boy’s dreams. Think of the children.
Video with dat?
I guess if the rifle was only to be loaded with non-lethal rounds I could see the point of this. Or maybe for use inside a prison?
Well I agree it is not something I would put on my AR. Nor do I see it being used by the police. However it’s seems like a good idea. Or a solution looking for a problem.
Add the Rail-Mounted Salt Spray and I’m in!
If I understand it right it’s nearly the size of an XDs-9, holds 3 fewer rounds and in .380 Vs 9mm at that?
It’s for what again?
It’s to big to compete with other .380s and totally out of the running to compete with either the XDs or Shield for power or capacity. It’s truly a solution in search of a problem. Glock may finally have produced something that will flop.
Maybe if SWAT dudes start carrying this they’ll spray the dog next time.
I want a tactical AR15 that’s rail-mounted tactically onto another tactical AR15…
Tactical!
As reported on the Foundation’s website, CGF’s Carry License Sunshine and Compliance Initiative uses grassroots-funded research, publications, and litigation to:
Acquire and publish objective carry license statistics for evaluation and public scrutiny
Audit and publish the policies and practices of California’s licensing authorities
Acquire and publish carry license application records and other public documents that are or indicate the actual practices of California’s licensing authorities
Help carry license applicants through the maze of state laws and local rules
Force California’s licensing authorities to comply with state laws, legal precedent, and the United States Constitution
This NEEDS to be done in New Jersey and other “may issue” states.
For those worried that you need a straight pull to shoot fast on driven game, in YouTube search on: Sauer 202 boar aimpoint -And you see Franz Albert shoot driven wild boar extremely quickly, very effectively, with an aimpoint hunter but no straight pull.
An article I read many years ago stated that the bolt lock up on the Blaser was 360 degrees, not just two or three lugs, something that can be accomplished only with a straight pull. Very interesting tech. But of course it also means proprietary barrels and chambers…
What’s offensive about a condom?
“Now Dan Wesson (distributed by CZ, or owned by by CZ, I can’t remember which)…”
From the CZ-USA “About Dan Wesson” page:
“CZ-USA in early 2005 acquired Dan Wesson Firearms and is now managing it as a part of the CZ corporate group.”
This elderly guy wants one and I check out TTAG first. If Foghorn wants to speculate and provide his opinion that’s great. What sold me was the Gunblast video that showed the recoil when they emptied a couple magazines at the end. In my opinion it is almost like a 22 and a lot less less recoil than a Walther PPK or SIG 232. Thats what I want in a CCW.
I’ll take a SA with a long pull over a DAO anytime. A good ‘smith can tune it the way you want it or you can just practice till you and the gun are one.
By the way if the term “mouse gun” offends you may be just a tad too sensitive to CC and getting old is tough but a heavy trigger is not on the list of concerns and it’s a long, long list.
I just saw this the other day but it goes a long way towards explaining why the hand shot was a stopper, http://io9.com/5670064/how-your-brain-sees-your-body-meet-the-cortical-homunculus
O.K. rip me as required, but do we really need to embrace rap/punk/criminal lingo such as “fiddy-cal?”
It’s a fifty caliber rifle for Christs sake, and if you called my .50 a fiddy, I wouldn’t let you get within a stones throw of it.
“And the suggestion that their customers should be presumed to have a right to gun ownership unless proven otherwise is absurd. By the same logic people wouldn’t have to earn a drivers license unless it was proven they were incompetent behind the wheel.”
Sounds like “guilty until proven innocent”. Actually we do have a right to gun ownership unless proven otherwise, that’s exactly how it works. Anyone can own a gun unless they have some reason to be a prohibited individual. As for the driver’s license, “earning” one isn’t all that hard, you just need a pulse, but they are revoked every day as people prove they are incompetent behind the wheel, so again that’s exactly how it works.
I dig it!
I have only recently discovered TTAG so I am playing catchup here. So far, I have two of Dan’s articles and I feel of all the writers here, he is the weakest on pro 2nd amendment rights. He does seem nice though.
I think the photo angle and the grenade launcher makes it look worse than it is. It looks like mostly it is a box that mounts on the side rail, hooks into the optic and hooks into a smartphone. I assume the box contains battlefield communication and computer, and the smartphone is mostly used for display. IFF is always useful, as long as it isn’t burdensome. This looks a little on the large side but I wonder how heavy it is. I’d like to see it on a rife with no tripod and no grenade launcher.
Ah, Colt says it only adds 8 ounces: http://blogs.militarytimes.com/gearscout/2013/10/27/colts-sword-networks-your-rifle/?repeat=w3tc
