What Pretty Women do after Gun Shows

[Jay]

Inertia is the tendency of a body in motion to remain in motion, or a body at rest to remain at rest, unless acted upon by an external force.
Firing the gun acts upon the tendency of a firearm to remain at rest, (inertia) by causing the firearm to recoil. The shooter can provide the external force to slow the movement of the firearm, affecting it's inertia. I don't believe one can create inertia, but one can provide the external force to affect inertia.

I don't think inertia will be the same in more than one firearm, unless the mass and velocity of those firearms are exactly the same.

88GT- I do agree with the probability of being a little scared. I'm taking a course to become an Armorer and my take on the inertia issue is this. Inertia is created by the round being fired(caliber, load P,+P etc) so inertia will be the same in any firearm. How that inertia is controlled is by the grip and stance and recoil. I hope this is doesn't sound critical or that I might be a know it all it's just my schooling that I'm tryin to pass on. Just starting to work on firearms here in NW IN. I work part time at Kingsbury F&W shooting range so if you or anyone is in the area stop on in. NRA member and NRA RSO. See you there!

What Jay said. A large, heavy (steel) full-size hand gun has more inertia--all else being equal (this is physics, we're obligated by law to mention that!)--than a small-framed, alloy mouse gun. Meaning it takes more force to start a the heavier gun moving than it does to start the small one.

The polymer-framed pistols are lighter and therefore need less force to move them.

Which also means they need more force (in the form of the stabilizing grip of the shooter) to keep the frame stable in space so the slide can operate fully.

Sadclown, I think I saw and your girl last week at Porter Co. Do you have dark hear and some piercings, maybe an earring?

IF YOUR WOMAN NEEDS A HAND GUN GET HER THE RUGER LCR.. THAT'S WHAT I USE AND IT IS VERY "FEMALE" FRIENDLY!

I have blonde hair and no piercings and never had a earing.

You mean it picks up after itself and doesn't track mud through the house?


What's "female" friendly? Not trying to be snarky, just curious how you define it.

My bad.

3 years ago we spent the day walking around the 1500 hoping my wife would go into labor since it was the day she was due...2 weeks later...now I've got a little one who can't wait to go to his first gun show!

So how do I get my girl to ditch work for one day and come to the 1500?

Tell her you will buy her something shiny.

Tell her you will buy her something shiny.

Just don't tell her you mean "stainless".

Walked my wife around the 1500 just before she was due as well! She cleared a path for me

 

[kludge]

LOL I remember that! Much more understanding than my wife would be.
