The M1A cancels out a LOT of that Ghey, but not all of it

That's a VERY valid point, another is his ownership of HK products, that takes his Ghey factor down a few notches as well.

As a USP .45 owner, my ghey level is slightly reduced, but the beretta .40 and piston AR kinda offset the sheer bad-assness of HK ownership.

Just get a HK in .40. Mine is a p30 soon gonna add a usp.

Don't know what your AR is, but I like my lmt piston and my LWRC!

USP's are nice, mine throws brass kinda funny though, sometimes right back into your face - spent .45 casings have just enough mass to keep you on your toes.

I took a chance and tried a Stag Model 8, just sent it in to have it checked out though, possible headspace or chamber throat issue.

Yes i was curious and went with a .40....im comfortable and happy with my decision. Lol

Im actually about to get another one i think...cant find a 9mm 229 and im starting to become iffy on 228's so a 229 in .40 may not be a bad thing for what i want to do with it.

Brad...ull always be a piston puffer...technically you still own it anyway hahahaa i think you should be called Bruno instead of Brad with all that gheyness

For those that dont know...what the movie "bruno" and youll understand what i mean

Bad joke of the day - A bullet is cheaper than a divorce.

And several fold if you get caught! Free room and board, meals and maybe even a free gurney strap down, and needle poke depending on state!

Not getting married is cheaper than all options! (Just dont tell the girlfriend- otherwise she might end up with the free room and board!)

Do the .40 casings just seem to say 'I'm FABULOUS..' when you see them too??

LOL no..I've been trained on a lot of different weapons lol. I just remember.

The 40 Short & Wimpy is flat-nose for one simple reason, and that is because it is SO GHEY that it has taken all logic regarding projectile design and dismissed it as inconvenient.

Actually that is a question I'd like to have some light shed on if I'm honest, cause I don't have a clue.

Actually the 40 is flat nose so weak wristed girly girls who shoot the 9 wont accidentally fire one and hurt their lip stick applying hand. Lol

No just kidding,

The 40 is in fact flat so that the heaver than 9 projectile could be achieved while maintaining the same lenght thereby allowing the 40 to function in 9mm sized firearms.

Sorry about the joke, couldn't resist.

Listen piston puffer, you have no right to call anything ghey

Im sleep happy with my glock 22....in .40 i trust. Lol

Good question, have been curious myself.

Pretty sure the FMJ 10mm stuff from Underwood and buffalo bore is flat nose too. And at 767ft/lbs it doesn't qualify as ghey.

Edit:. Holy thread necro, Batman

I've got a p99as in 9mm. Absolutely love the gun. I dislike that they got rid of the paddle mag release on the newer PPQs.

Michigander08 · Sep 11, 2018

Paddle mag release is great. It wastes little effort and energy to move my thumb there.
