And now, for a look into the "WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?" files.
This is the Standard Mfg S333: https://i.postimg.cc/9fpRhvBM/22.jpg It is a hammerless, double-action-only 8-round double barrel revolver, chambered in .22 WMR. Each pull of the trigger[s] fires 2 rounds. It features 2 triggers [one for each barrel], with one of them being a longer, 2-finger style trigger. It has an aluminum frame and a polymer grip, weighing in at just 18 ounces when empty. It has a MSRP of $369 USD and a duo of 1.25" barrels. QUESTION: What the fuck is going on with that trigger guard? Did you run out of plastic whilst making it? https://i.postimg.cc/Y0PvssvG/22.jpg The manufacturer recommends Dutch loading it with alternating hollow points and shotshell. https://i.postimg.cc/NFvXsVg3/22S.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/nr1JsjJH/shotshell.jpg |
Kel-Tec CP33
Kel-Tec has a new semiautomatic pistol in the works. The CP33, chambered in a budget friendly .22 LR, features a 33+1 capacity [a 50-round extended magazine will also be available], utilizing a brand new quad-stack magazine. It has a threaded barrel, so you can easily attach a muzzle brake or suppressor, a full-length Picatinny rail on top, an M-LOK slot under the barrel, accessory attachment points on each side and at the rear, and adjustable fiber optic sights. It has a 5.5" barrel. Unloaded, it weighs ~ 24 ounces. The MSRP is $475 USD. In true Kel-Tec style, they make their innovations as ugly as humanly possibly. I foresee many a problem with that quad-stack magazine [jams, failures to fire, stove-pipes]. Assuming it actually functions, this would be a fun range gun, as .22LR is the most widely produced caliber of ammunition on the planet. I've seen bulk caches go for as low as $0.03 USD / round. While it's always nice to see a new firearm come to market, I wish Kel-Tec would work on keeping their existing products on the shelves. It's damn near impossible to find a PMR-30 or CMR-30. https://www.alloutdoor.com/wp-conten...eb-660x440.jpg http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/w...P33-Pistol.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/DzmPn1rT/cp33-right.png https://i.postimg.cc/pyN6nqBz/cp33-left.png https://i.postimg.cc/Y99K4Pvc/kt.jpg |
New Hi-Point Tactical 9mm Pistol
================================================== ================================================== =================================== NEW HI-POINT TACTICAL 9MM PISTOL Hi-Point recently unveiled a new pistol at this years SHOT [ Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade] Show in Las Vegas. Chambered in 9mm Luger, this pistol has a 10-round double-to-single-stack magazine, which is new to Hi-Point, whose pistols and carbines up to this point have all featured single-stack magazine [their current 9mm pistol offering, the C9, only has an 8-round single-stack magazine]. This new firearm features forward and rear cocking serrations on the slide, a threaded barrel [to attach a muzzle brake or suppressor], an ambidextrous safety, a secondary backstrap safety and a lower accessory rail [to attach a flashlight, laser sight, bayonet or whatever floats your boat]. It also features holes to mount an accessory rail or optics to the top of the slide. It is the first firearm to feature Hi-Point's new logo. Hi-Point hopes to have this gun on the shelves by the end of 2019, with a MSRP of ~ $200 USD. Extended magazines with capacities of 15 - 20 rounds are also in the works, and, according to Hi-Point representative Dave Kiwacka, this new design may work itself into other models. MY TAKE ON IT: For $200 USD, this is a hell of a deal. Hi-Points are made in America and carry a lifetime warranty. But why half-ass it? If you are going to spend the time, money and effort to make new production molds, why just add 2 rounds to the capacity? A double-to-single-stack magazine? Are you joking? Why not just go full-on double-stack, like your fan base has been asking for for 20 years? https://i.postimg.cc/1ztKBkrr/03.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Pqhgq5hr/01.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/LX8GzQnc/02.jpg ================================================== ================================================== =================================== |

No need to be dumbfounded by this thing. It holds 8 rounds. They go off 2 at a time, so you essentially get 4 chances to shoot, which sucks, because if you aren't a good shot, you're wasting ammo. |
A gun with two barrels? I think Rob Liefeld just came.

You can load some shotshell, but know that it won't kill. It will wound, and possibly set you up to make a kill shot afterward. It's also difficult to remember which type of ammo you have chambered. Instead of Dutch loading, I would maybe fill 1 speed loader with all shotshell, and then just rely on +P ammo as your primary. But if you don't have any speed loaders, maybe load the first round with shotshell and the rest with +P. Ballistics 101 has some good info as far as ammo goes, including a muzzle energy calculator. Keep in mind that their figures will vary depending on your barrel length. |

================================================== ================================================== =================================== As far as self-defense revolvers go, I would recommend the Taurus Judge. It comes in many iterations, with barrels ranging from 2.5" - 6.5", but the best one [in my opinion] is the Taurus Raging Judge Ultra-Lite. It holds 7 rounds and is chambered in .45 LC / .410 bore. It has a 3"chamber, so it can accept magnum shotshells. And goddamn, is it one sexy firearm! http://whichgun.com/img/firearms/rev...tra-lite/2.jpg http://www.az123.com/tau3.jpg Unfortunately, in their infinite wisdom, Taurus discontinued this model. So if you find one for sale, expect to pay out the ass for it. They replaced it with a 6-round revolver chambered in .45 LC /.410 bore / .454 Cassul. But this version only has a2.5" chamber. If you are on a budget, they offer a 5-round polymer version called the "Public Defender" chambered in .45 LC / .410 bore with a 2.5" chamber. It has a MSRP ~ $470 USD. https://i.postimg.cc/sgStFsTt/img2.jpg ================================================== ================================================== =================================== Smith & Wesson has a similar offering in "The Governor." It is a 6-round revolver chambered in .45 LC / .410 bore [it also chambers .45 ACP with the use of moon clips]. It has a 2.5" barrel and a 2.5" chamber. It has a MSRP of $869 USD. https://gun.deals/sites/default/file...t_Governor.jpg ================================================== ================================================== =================================== |
