Should be a good week... 3 new ones coming in!!

[cundiff5535]

So I have three pistols coming to me this week! I am really looking forward to seeing them in person.

The first is a Glock 42. I have wanted one for Summer carry for some time now and was offered it by my FFL for cost. Already have a bunch of cool stuff laying around for it. Stealth Gear Holster, Ghost Connector, Magguts, Taran Tactical +1 and +2 extensions, and a set of sights

The second is a full boat custom 1911 built by Brandan Bunker! Bunker has worked on several 1911's I own so seeing the full boat custom done should be very cool! A quick teaser of what I am having done is: If John M Browning had access to modern day CNC machines, what would his 1911 design have looked like. I gave Bunker some specifics, but a lot of it is Brandans artist freedom to do what he wants! It should be a really, really cool tribute to JMB and one hell of a pistol! The pistol will be chambered in 38 super with a 9mm conversion barrel... Thanks all you get for now!

Last is a full custom P35 Elite Warrior Armament Browning Hi Power. There are only 30 of these pistols being produced, so it will be very rare indeed! I gave Chuck my list of "wants" and got a call last week saying it should be ready late this week/early next week!

Anyway, I will likely not be buying anything past these three pistols this year. If I get lucky enough, Ill add a Rifle Dynamics AK74, but that is only if I am very lucky. Time to start shooting the pistols and rifles I have

Pics coming as soon as I get the pistols!

I've been reading in the media about all the increased sales of firearms, I had no idea it was all due to one person.

Sounds like a good week.

You got it at cost? I'm jelly.

I am curious though about the magguts in combination with the Taran tactical...I know the magguts work well supporting 7 rounds with that spring, but i have no experience with 8/9 rounds.

Let me know how they do.

Very nice, looking forward to pics and range reports. I tested a G42 at Point Blank and had all kinds of issues with it. Switched to a Sig P238 and after having gone back and rented that gun several times and having put around 200 rounds through it, we never had a single issue. I'm interested to see what your experience with the G42 is.

What kind of issues?

What kind of issues?

Failure to feed and stovepipes. Switched between two different magazines and had issues with both. Still could be a mag issue, but I didn't have any new mags to test, as it was a rental. I know, rentals are bad to base too much off of, but with the G42 having 10 or so issues in 50 rounds and the P238 having zero issues in over 200 rounds, I know which would I would prefer to carry, if I had to rely on a .380.

They either have a early g42 ( one of the first few thousand released ) or just a crap gun (bad recoil spring or something that requires factory work). Glock made changed to the 42 a couple months after it was released. Slightly modified internals. The ejector was changed. I got one of the "newer" ones.

Mine runs great. If you ever want to shoot it let me know I go to PB a lot and I don't bite.

I have no way of knowing if they have a newer or older G42. I've read reports of the G42 being hit or miss, with the old version and the new one. I don't use a .380 myself, but was renting something for my stepdaughter. She didn't care for the G42 much, but loves the P238, enough that she's saving up money to get one when she turns 21. I appreciate the offer to try yours. I'll have to try to coordinate something when my stepdaughter is around

No problem

I heard of these reports too, but so far I haven't had a single incident of failure to feed/eject on my 42. It has reliably ate everything I've fed it. I didn't buy it until late last spring, so I do believe mine to be a 'later' model.

 

[cundiff5535]

Still a little way out on the custom pistols

G42 shot fine with either Magguts or base plates... not both. Was really looking forward to that combo too. I am going to play around a bit more and hopefully the spring wears in (its just to tight).

Yeah, look forward to pics. I'm so jealous I can't stand to look at ya!

 

[Bfish]

I'm pumped to see these pistols cundiff! I always enjoy seeing your collection!
