What gun is this....

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!

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
