Yup, it's that time again for a 53vortec "I can't buy a reliable gun to save my life (literally!)" rant - which simply means, with my luck, that I bought another gun...
After tuning on 1911s, timing on revolvers, and tweaking with others, I bought a Glock - the AK of the handgun world!
Quick trip to the range with it today (AFTER I had a set of Trijicons installed on it, of course) and I was rewarded with six, count 'em SIX, short strokes in 50 rounds. I have therefore concluded that my best self-defense option is to arm myself with crossbows, katanas, ninja stars, and probably a pointy stick. I may start playing Dungeons & Dragons and driving an economical car to round out the motif.
Of course part of this is my fault - following the logic that part of the greatness of these newfangled platic automatics is their high capacity, I figured that giving myself an advantage of a faster rate of accurate fire with a compensator would be just the ticket and bought a 17C. Hey, I've trained with SWAT guys that love 'em, watched 'em run trough courses, and there's even a stick over on Glock talk with all those tennifer heads raving about 'em, so I'm good to go, right!! Only afterwards do I find out that these pistols are tweaky and need some tuning - in other words I managed to buy Glock's 1911. Leave it to the mother fucker that can jam an AK...
Now before any of you Glapologists start questioning the manliness of my wrists, I'll state that I've never had a limp wrist malfunction with ANY of the Glocks I've shot - years of precision electronics work and vigorous masturbation have eliminated that factor.
So that's it - after posting thread after thread of "it's fucked up" "got another bad one" and "why can't I buy a gun that works" I figure it's time to save you all anymore of this pathetic bitching, liquidate, and put my life in the hands of Gil Hibben.
(Oh, and to all of you about to post your "I've never bought a gun that DIDN'T work" replies, I hate you.)
