    Default The journalist's guide to firearms identification.


    I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck).

    I'm sure the Uzi would have been listed, if not properly identified. That's always been a favorite "scary gun" to throw out in the media. When the antis were in hysterics when the AWB was about to expire, the idea that people would be running around with full-auto Uzis was one of the favorite statements they liked to make.

    You are correct, the one in the lower left is obviously an Uzi. Loaded with deadly cop killing hollowpoints.

    Wait a minute, the reporters are getting keen on the 50 caliber armor piercing sniper death ray rifle that has absolutely no sporting purpose.

    I miss the good old days of Saturday night specials, plastic pistols that can defeat metal detectors and lethal Tec-9's.

    Good evening, thelemite.

    This is awesomely funny. I appreciate your sharing it.

    From now on, when people ask me what kind of vehicle I drive, I'm telling them an AK-47.

    Do you have one of those high capacity 8 cylinder Ak-47s?
