I’ll give it a watch, everything the Finns get up to is dope.

First of all: Hell yeah dude.

Final question because you’re way more interesting than wikipedia. Is it called the 1911 because it was released in 1911? And do you say it like the year? Nineteen-eleven?

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. I didn’t realise it was a moving part. In my mind i imagined it to be a passive stop that stops the recoil from sliding the juicy bit of your hand meat up into the hammer and slide situation at the exact moment that those parts are doing some sliding and hammering (or right after that moment i suppose).

You allude to these mechanisms being hard to reach for normal hands, is that correct? You reckon our old mate j-brown had some freaky fingers (like John Mayer’s T H U M B), so he put things in weird places?

So if this weapon is THE iconic american sidearm, why is it not the standard police issue? Is the glock a safer weapon?

And why do you suppose it is such a popular weapon if it has the safety issues as you describe? Is it because it looks cool? Or is it simply some sort of patriotism?

grip safety

So that’s what the little bit at the back is called? What safety does it provide the user?

Mostly meat i think

Not a gun guy, but if that’s a 9mm glock (standard police issue?) then i would say it’s pretty darn perfect.

Edit: i don’t think it is a glock. It’s got that extra lil bit at the back. Told you I’m not a gun guy.
