Recommended Posts

So I was reading an article in Yahoo about states making it illegal for anyone to introduce any gun control bills, they had a picture of four guns, I know the other three, but I want to know what the fourth is. I like it and it cought my eye and I want it. Below is the picture. thanks in advance.

I was issued a 4013TSW when I first got hired at my agency. We had that piece of garbage for the first 3 years I was there before switching to G22s. Makes me shudder just thinking about it. I hated that gun. Awful long double action trigger and a gritty single action. The decocker was in a crappy place as well. The frames cracked often, right near the beaver tail, and they were very complicated to work on with hand fitting of most internal parts necessary. Hard to find holsters for them and they had a limited capacity with their almost single stack expensive mag.

A friend who is an ex PO has one in .40 and carried it for awhile, while a good looking gun IMO it just didn't fit or shoot well for me. Perhaps it's because I was not used to the .40 but it did have a rather gritty single action even as the gun had more than 2k rounds through her at last estimate. Not too much love for it on the S&W boards also.

You KNOW I'm a S&W Fanboy, but I got to tell ya, I've NEVER liked S&W double-stacks since they first came-out! Here's why:

 

Almost 30 years ago my best friend at the time bought a 9mm double-stack. I don't remember the exact model number. Just talking about that gun gives me a case of the heeby-geebies! You KNOW I can shoot straight! Well I sure as hell can with everything I've ever put in my hands EXCEPT that POS! Way-back-when at the South Brunswick Police outdoor Range off Fresh Ponds Road, my buddy & I go to shoot. From 25 yards neither of us could find the target backer cardboard (approx. 2'x3') in an entire box of ammo! I even tried shooting at all four corners to see if the sights were that far off out-of-the-box, all for nought! After the Range was called cold we moved to the 15 yard line---WITH THE SAME RESULTS! That POS was up for sale the next day! Heavy-a$$ double-action trigger, gritty as hell single-action too, just like other Poster's duty gun!

 

If someone forced me to use a double-stack 9 (I don't even own one) I'd use the CZ 75B (sound familiar?) or a M-9 or a civilian copy. Never had a problem with any friend's I've tried!

 

Have a nice day!

Fanboy of guns that function, lol!

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
