Alex C. Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sooooo this happened today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6VYGbl_1g I was at the range and had shot plenty of PPU 150 grain .308 Win while plinking. I switched to 168 grain HPBT SSA stuff and the, well, the video. The amazing thing is that absolutely nothing happened to the gun. I put the follower, spring, and floorplate back in/on the mag, bent the secondary extractor a bit, and got back to shooting. Case: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm not an expert on rifle malfunctions, but I think that casing may or may not have failed to perform it's intended function fully. Just a friendly guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tied Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Step one: Unchamber and Safety the weapon Step two: break the weapon in half on your knee Step three: shave that neckbeard Step four: buy a real firearm, preferably something Soviet SergeantMatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex C. Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 So this came in today: First impressions: -The trigger is atrocious with no definitive breaking point (unlike a glock or whatever other polymer pistol where the trigger stacks up at some point) -The resurrected Bergmann locking system is neat (I am so burned out on rehashed Browning tilting-barrel crap) -Takedown is hard, with a very stubborn pin -The pistol can be reassembled backwards by placing the locking block in wrong -Most unnecessarily large 9mm pistol ever: I have very large hands that fit comfortably on a Mark 23, but this is just insane!

D.E. Watters Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 FWIW: Austin Precision Products (Laure Tactical) was making M1911 slides for STI back in the mid-1990s in which they used EDM to cut the breechface.

D.E. Watters Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 With the XDm, I suspect that logic was: Let's make the largest pistol that we can shoehorn into an IDPA/IPSC Standard Division box so we'll have a capacity and sight radius advantage over our competitors' long slide models that reuse their stock frames.

Donward Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 So in my hometown, The Seattle City Council has passed an ordnance (hehehe) ordinance levying a $25 tax on firearm purchases and a five-cent tax on every round of ammunition sold. http://mynorthwest.com/11/2793625/Seattle-City-Council-approves-25-gun-tax-regulations Washington State does have a preemption clause in its constitution so there will be a legal challenge. On the other hand, no one really goes to Seattle to legally purchase guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I suspect that the EDM on the recesses of the strike one is because they're itty bitty corners inside the slide. Quite hard to reach with any other technique. It did not occur to me that it was done that way for reasons of bling. There are some precision rifles that have EDM'd bolt raceways. Bolt raceways! As if those mattered to accuracy!
