Sturgeon Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Gotta say, I don't see the point of testing this reproduction. I suspect it went something like this: IMA called up InRange and wanted them to test the repro. InRange sent off the plate to get analyzed. LOL, the plate is mild shit iron. InRange goes... Well, shit, now we have to test it because IMA wants us to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meplat Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 PL-14. That could be a beautiful piece if they lost the forward cocking serrations, the squared triggerguard and the cheesegrater. Slim down/pare down the area forward of the triggerguard and it'd be a very graceful looking pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Wow LoooSeR, you are on a roll! PL-14 appears broadly conventional in design. If there is anything particularly special about it, I can't tell from these pictures. PL-14 appears to be a short-recoil, tilting-barrel design. The barrel locks into the ejection port via a lug above the breech of the barrel (1), and cams in and out of engagement with the slide via cam surfaces cut in the underside of the barrel (2). This is how the lockup works on Glocks, every pistol HK made after the P7, S&W M&Ps, all of the FN polymer-framed pistols, and the vast majority of other automatic pistols (but NOT including the Strike One!). PL-14 appears to be hammer-fired with an internal hammer (3). The majority of new pistol designs are striker-fired, although a healthy minority are still hammer-fired. In general, striker-fired guns are cheaper to make and have a lower bore axis. However, the bore axis is very low on the PL-14, thanks to a grip design reminiscent of the Steyr M-series pistols. Somewhat unusually, the return spring is free on the guide rod (4). In most modern designs the return spring is captive so that it is harder to lose during disassembly. The design appears to have a conventional safety or possibly a decocker (5). It also appears to have a Glock or Beretta esque takedown lever (6). This is good; every so often a company tries to get clever with their takedown procedure, and invariably they fuck it up. The "trigger" actually appears to be a trigger shoe that rotates around an axis pin (7). This is similar to the Strike One, and is a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to the Glock-esque trigger with the dingus hanging off the middle. It serves the same purpose as the Glock-esque trigger. LoooSeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Browning Above, already there is a lot of nonsense being said about this pistol: "Kalashnikov Concern just copied the Strike One!"No, they did not. The only unusual mechanical features shared between the pistols is the way the trigger safety works, with an external shoe instead of a central dingus (I call the thing hanging off the front of the Glock trigger a "dingus." I know of no other name). Walter CCP also uses this. The Strike One uses an unusual locking system where an inverted "U" shaped locking block (1) slides into recesses in the slide (2). The Strike One is also striker-fired while the PL-14 is hammer-fired. The PL-14 has an external safety or decocker, the Strike One does not. They're not terribly similar at all. "PL-14 is like a CZ-75 with the rails on the sides of the slide which run inside the frame!"You can clearly see from the disassembled picture that this is untrue. Here's what slide-mounted rails look like: PL-14 just has a very low-profile slide, but the slide does not run inside the frame. Correction: As DE Watters pointed out in the TFB comments section, the PL-14 slide appears to run inside the frame at the front, and outside at the rear. That is odd. In fact, you can see the fact that the slide sits outside the frame in this picture: "It uses an unusual operating mechanism."It's pretty vanilla. Short-recoil, tilt-locking barrel is like two guitars, a bass and drums. LoooSeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Larry Vickers tours the factory where Strike Ones are born: Starting at 3:48 is some serious geeking-out on pistol design. At 4:27 the designer brings up a good point about tilting-barrel designs; the area required for the barrel to tilt down drives the bore axis up.
