Ever dropped a gun?

[Sylvain]

Ja, wir sind Züruck. Was wirst du gemacht?

Du bist verrückt!

It didn't go well in the 40's it wont go well now.

Mosinguy started it!


Only kidding. Saying all Germans are NAZIs is like saying all Americans are Democrats. Just because a political party destroyed a country, doesn't mean that all the citizens are in support of it.

I have dropped my G19 a couple times....never an issue. I have a fobus paddle holster and it works great with my g19 but I can say I have seen guns that just do fit well in a focus even when "made" for them.

..........I am not trying to get everyone to throw their guns off their roofs. I am just pointing out that it wouldn't be unsafe to do it..............

 

[CPT Nervous]

You're close minded. Do you also think it is unsafe to leave your vehicle running while in park? It could change gears and drive away! Hell, it can turn itself on, shift into drive, and drive away. It's mechanical, and mechanical things break, so it's possible, right?

Yes I will admit that it is possible.

It's a machine, it's not made up of unicorn farts and fairy dust like a certain brand of firearm apparently is.

You're close minded.

No, I just not so "open minded" that I let my brains run out all over my shoes.


If I ran a range and you or ND Marc pulled that as "instruction" I'd bounce you out so fast your head would spin.

dropped my tricked out 10/22 worth about $900 due to a craptastic failure of my gun sling, luckily my refrigerator took the brunt of the impact as the gun barrel placed a nice dent in the side as it fell to the floor......slow motion verbage entered here...

I understand the mechanics behind it. I am an armorer.

It isn't an animal. I'm not sticking my head in an alligator's mouth. It cannot suddenly decide that it wants to bite me. It will function the same way every time.

If firearms functioned exactly the same way every time, forever, we wouldn't need armorers.

When I hear the words, "I am an armorer", that's when I reach for my revolver.

Why? Do you get an urge to throw it on the ground in order to show what a responsible gun owner you are by following all of the rules, as well as having such splendid common sense?

 

[JetGirl]

I might be off base, but I think he meant that revolver guts are way more complicated and timing issues are more difficult to fix than many semi-auto problems...
As in, "If you're really an "armorer"...let's see you tackle a revolver."

I took it as, "I'd rather use my revolver that more than likely won't need an armorer than give an armorer my semi-auto."

I could be wrong, it's happened before. I think it was on a Tuesday.

Reps for making me laugh. Out loud, even.

Like Mr. Dee's, I aim to please!

 

[DragonGunner]

You're going to have to do better than that. We don't have stones in our house, and Marc doesn't have them in his class. I do not see how a small stone could get into the trigger guard, and press the trigger safety and the trigger.

Thats the problem...you don't see.

 

[DragonGunner]

Because one particular gun didn't go off when dropped from a plane doesn't mean that ALL Glocks will work the same.
If we actually had a way to know when the gun will fail we wouldn't have that many ADs with guns.

I wouldn still no point a firearm, loaded or not, at my face, no matter how safe the gun is.
It's just something you dont do, when you start trusting safeties accidents happen.

Correct...guess who isn't doing this....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owmuYSAcqcE

Then explain it.

 

[357 Terms]

Then explain it.

Good lord son, it has been explained.


I give up. Go play with your Glock

No one is going to change anyone's mind here. Might be best to tell our personal "gun drop" stores as the OP intended, rather than try to convince two individuals here that they are wrong. I think we can make up our own minds about this issue.
