Guns and Shit

[aurelius]

the barrel is on the bottom instead of the "top".

I'd image the kick comes straight back into your hand; instead of wanting to kick up and back.

weird how it still has a hammer, wonder how it works its way down to the bottom of the gun.

I was curious about all of this as well - I could look it up but maybe someone can tell us how this thing works and why it's awesome/sucks?

Not a hammer. It is a cocking lever. Likely to keep the controls familiar to shot that use revolvers.

Kick comes straight back. Making follow up shots with .357 magnum a possibility for the average shooter.

So there is still an internal hammer that that lever pulls back? Otherwise standard semi-auto action with a different kick?

Rhino’s innovative completely enclosed firing mechanism which can be fired either single or double action.

Trigger feels like a revolver trigger.

Sold my 357 Sig. All I have right now is my shotgun.
Gonna get a 38/357 revolver eventually, probably a Ruger.

I have a Ruger SP101 5-shot stainless steel revolver with 3" barrel. My favorite handgun.
Small enough to carry comfortably in a holster, big enough that .357 isn't a chore to shoot.
Just a sweet little gun.

At one point I was planning on having it lightly customized -- hammer spur cut off, action polished for a smoother double-action trigger. But it turned out to be so nice to shoot straight from the factory that I never got around to it.

Looking for a new ambidextrous pocket gun.

Leaning towards a Walther
PPS
PPK
CCP

I really like the CCP but it's been plagued with problems since it's release.

Don't want a Glock, Ruger's are nice but not really favorable for ambidextrous use.
Someone mentioned the Sig 250 but not looked it up yet. A few Bersa models too.

Anyone have experience with the CCP or ambidextrous guns?

Have you considered a S&W 642 hammerless aluminum 5-shot .38 revolver?
IMO best possible pocket gun, in the sense that you can actually shoot it from a coat pocket w/o jamming on the first shot.

I own one it's a bit thick.
So right now I'm looking for something different in the semi-auto range.

Look at any of the compact or subcompact XD?

I have not but I just checked and saw that the XD’s mag release is ambidextrous so I'll add it to my research list.
Thanks!

What's wrong, bro? A little gun talk make you uncomfortable?

There are definitely places in Europe you can shoot guns.

They are fun. They can be dangerous. Read up and be responsible.

I know, just saying that movement/interest/demographic is fringe here, and it's usually limited to hunters who talk about hunting. You guys talk about guns, and it's a significant subset of the forum. It's very different from what I know.
