[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ID this pistol (Hamas news pic)

Posted: 8/12/2005 2:24:38 AM EDT

and another:

Close up:

I'm guessing a Jericho since I kinda see the desert eagle shape but it's too small, and there are the slide serrations on teh rear which are kinda hi leading me to guess at a slide in frame design. Also that rear sight looks real hi, just like the export version uzi eagle. My only reservation is it looks like the dust cover tapers from teh trigger guard to the muzzle, something the jericho doens't do, but I think that's just the camera angle messing with me.

Can't ID the pistol, but I'm impressed. This is the first terrorist fucknut to have a decent grip on a weapon. And, bonus points for cutting good eye holes out of his chickenshit hood. Nice circa 1985 Casio watch, too.

you'd be surprised, the AQ folks have a large percentage of decently trained gun hands.

I bet he still smells bad though.

his left hand doesnt seem to be really on the gun looks rather cupped... Maybe my eyes are playing tricks

It could very well be a jericho, sorry but no Arab deserves to have his hands on one, let alone a jihadist. I love mine

Looks like a Jericho to me.

Why is he missing a hole in his forehead?

Why hasn't somebody drilled a third eye for him?

Why hasn't somebody introduced him to God yet?

What about his date with 72 virgins? He is late for his date, I tell you.

I was going to say a Baby Eagle bassed on the rear sight.

I'd say his thumbs are too low.

Probably a Jericho pistol. There are a lot of Jerichos over there.

Jericho 941/Baby Eagle/Uzi Eagle. Thats what it is. Ask me how I know. Might be because the Baby Eagle is my main/only fighting handgun

or the fact that no other pistol has that slide profile.

Not to mention based on the slide stop and the frame mounted safety.

oh he's not a terrorist. the AP caption informs us he's part of "Hamas' armed wing" ...

... of course, they would probably call the US ARMY the rebulicans' armed wing.

No, you have it right, his hand is cupped over strong hand.....classic push/pull. It's not a combat grip, but it's a great grip for speed and shot recovery. The low left thumb doesn't hurt either, riding a thumb into your slide is bad juju. Mine rides higher on the frame, but still well away from the controls.

I used to think this grip was awkward till I got accustomed to it, and then it becomes very clear why speed shooters use it, and how intuitive it is to point using it.

That said, when I look closer, he's on the trigger with his knuckle instead of his fingertip, and that's a recipe for pulled shots, but I honestly don't care if he misses his target - I'd prefer the Jew he shoots at to drop him first.
