Skorpions

These would be pretty cool if you could legally sell the machine pistol configuration.   I’ve never been really hot on semi-auto versions of submachine guns and machine pistols.  Don’t know why, but I just kind of think you should get something for all that girth.

Civilian KRISS?

Check this out:

To reach the civilian market, the company developed the .45-caliber carbine. Plans call for marketing it primarily to shooting enthusiasts who would use it for competitions and target practice, but it also could be used for hunting.

“This is not going to be a gun for everyone,” Kushell said.

Company officials said the Super V mechanism can be adapted to any caliber weapon. Work currently is under way on a 12-gauge shotgun.

I’m not a huge fan of pistol caliber carbines, but I’d definitely pick up one of these.  Clearly TDI thinks more highly of the civilian market than H&K, and I hope sales of their civilian line of firearms is brisk.

1895 Nagant

Well, the new revolver arrived, so I cleaned it up for it to get it’s picture taken:

Cleaned up pretty nice. I cleaned the thick greasy oil out of it and replaced it with some nice Friction Defense Gun Oil, from Brownell’s, and now the cylinder rotates into place and pushes forward rather nicely.

The downside to the Nagant revolver is the price of the ammo. Bitter asked “What’s so unusual about it?”, and my response was “Have you ever seen an uncircumcised penis?” Either way, 40-50 cents a trigger pull is steep, but someone said the other day there’s a way to reload for it. It’s also a pretty weak cartridge, only generating 157 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. No wonder Rasputin lived:

Determined to finish the job, Yusupov became anxious about the possibility that Rasputin might live until the morning, which would leave the conspirators with no time to conceal his body. Yusupov ran upstairs to consult the others and then came back down to shoot Rasputin through the back with a revolver. Rasputin fell, and the company left the palace for a while. Yusupov, who had left without a coat, decided to return to grab one, and, while at the palace, he went to check up on the body. Suddenly, Rasputin opened his eyes, grabbed Yusupov by the throat and strangled him. As he made his bid for freedom, however, the other conspirators arrived and fired at him. After being hit three times in the back, Rasputin fell once more. As they neared his body, the party found that, remarkably, he was still alive, struggling to get up. They clubbed him into submission and, after wrapping his body in a sheet, threw him into an icy river, and he finally met his end there

The trigger pull is brutal too. It’s almost a two stage like trigger. Take up the slack and it rotates the cylinder, but then it takes a quite a pull to push the cylinder into the barrel and drop the hammer.

We’ll have to see how it shoots once I get some ammo, but I got it mostly just to have one.

Clay Birds May Now Fear Me

I went to Pistol People today to pick up the Citori I bought from Red’s Trading Post, as a screw you to Jesse Jackson, The Rainbow PUSH Coalition and The Brady Campaign because of their very pathetic August 28th events.

I can’t wait to get it out to the range and break some clays. Sadly, that won’t be for a little bit, since I have other things to deal with in the short term. Our club has Monday night trap shoots, which I’m going to start participating in, once I brush up on my shooting a bit.

Random Conversations With My Friend Lee Ann

Lee Ann is a friend of mine from back in the MUD days:

Sebastian: She’s back blogging now, since she found a new bitch girl
Lee Ann: ha!
Lee Ann: i told you it woudln’t last
Sebastian: She’s only 22, but really impressive
Lee Ann: really?
Sebastian: yeah
Sebastian: She seems like the kind of person who’s going places
Lee Ann: good deal
Lee Ann: it’s Bitter’s new bitch right? not yours…
Sebastian: That’s right
Sebastian: She has a pimp gun and all
Sebastian: Bitter does, I mean
Sebastian: To keep her bitches in line
Lee Ann: sweet

The pimp gun I’m referring to is her Davis Industries DM-22 derringer.

It’s only ever been fired once that I know of, and that was by me in Texas. It’s a hard trigger pull (as it needs to be), and you can’t hit crap with it, but it’s great for keeping your Bitch Girls in line!
