I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

S&B has a history of being the only ammo that feeds through hard to cycle guns. I have seen that the MP5's have a similar issue. Another reason I decided not to buy the MP5 and went with a clone that apparently feeds everything.

 

you would think a "gangsta" gun like the uzi would take anything haha, too much for me to remember stuff like that and id like regular go bang firearms to run anything. Picky ass guns

 

As a rule, I tend to agree. That is the only gun I have that is very particular when it comes to ammo. And it is easy to remember, because it is my only Uzi.

 

Wish I woulda known that before I spent hours running tons of different ammo through there, and getting super pissed off over and over when most of them shits didnt work.

 

I have a few 1911s
Most will run any thing I feed them but one is picky. I still have it but I’d never use it as a defense gun. I have an older UZI and it’s only really been used once but it did not work very well at all. Back then I only shot about twice a year so I never got around to figuring it out. That might be a great winter goal. Pull out any guns that have issues and sort them out. I hate the idea of “ story “ anything. You know a gun, car or any tool that there’s a paragraph of info needed to operate due to some finicky bullshit associated with said loaner.

 

You sure about that?

 

Only one he remembers buying.

 

For my POF MP5, and my HK-94, I have never had trouble with any ammo I've given it.
S&B
Blazer
Winchester White Box
Winchester Ranger
PMC Bronze
Bulk 9mm from Freedom Munitions
Bulk 9mm from Surplus Arms & Ammo

I have seen some issues from others on my local forum with regards to the korean magazines, but that's not ammo related, that's mag-lips and feed ramp related.

 

Ammo feed issues tend to be caused by the feed ramp in my experience. A gunsmith polishing and tweaking the angle can fix it in many cases.

 

Agreed.

I had an odd one with my FAL. Olympic Arms receiver, Belgian parts. Metric magazines.
The magazine fronts continually slipped just enough to cause the second and N+1 rounds to stovepipe against the bottom of the feed ramp.
I changed the magazines from Metric (small lip on front) to Inch (larger, squared up lip) and *boom* all better.

Come to find out after the fact that Oly-Arms receivers were loose in their specs for their FALs.

 

Picked these up Christmas Eve. MP-40 and 10.5" barrel PSA AR "pistol". No practical reason for either, but damn sure fun to shoot. May start the ATF SBR process to get stamp for the MP to install a folding stock.

 

The original MP40 was a bitch to hold on target at full auto with the muzzle rise. I have fired one extensively and cant figure how the Germans hit anything with them, I guess if you throw enough lead you're bound to hit something.

 

Yeah, this semi-auto is not a bulls-eye gun at all. A man-sized target out at 25 yards gets hit consistently though and it's a blast to shoot. Gonna put a sling on it to maybe help stabilize it until I decide if I want to go to the trouble of getting it registered as SBR. Tried to shoot it one-handed like a pistol, but it's just too heavy for me to get more than one round off. Guess I need to eat my spinach and bulk up if I want to shoot it like that

 

Agreed. The Gen 1 Kriss Vector had issues. The ejection port isn't large enough for a whole cartridge to be ejected (only fired brass will fit through). So clearing a malfunction is a pain in the ass as well.

Personally I would have put that $$$ toward a decent AR, but he wanted something that shares mags and ammo with his Glock.

 

I got the same AR pistol for the exact same reason! A binary trigger makes it even better.

 

Which binary trigger do you have?

 

Franklin Armory AR-C1. Clever PSA marketing had it right above the AR pistol in the email ad.

 

Can you 'de cock' those things if you don't want a second shot? They act like a set trigger in reverse, right?

 

You can select "regular" or binary.

 

How hard are those to install?
