Title: Lock n Load - Pistols
Post by: Walkeraviator on August 16, 2009, 12:47:32 PM: I am sure some of you guys watched it. What an entertaining episode. I was digging the functional wheel lock. Some entertaining things I saw.

-Did you see him fall on his A$$ when he fired the 44 mag. Gotta watch yoru balance when you shoot that monster.
-The slow-mo of him shooting the 500 was awesome. What a massive recoil
-My favorite was the slow-mo of him shooting the Glock 18. If you look closely you can see the polymer frame warp and vibrate. Its amazing how it does that, but you would never know without slow mo

If any of you guys ever watch time warp on discovery, try to caths the metallica episode... you wouldnt believe how a cymbal warps in extreme slow motion.

Post by: alfsauve on August 16, 2009, 03:25:46 PM: Haven't watched this weeks yet. Did he really fall when he fired the .44?

I'm somewhat fearless, especially after I've fired a T/C (14" barrel) in 45/70. I figure, I can roll with most any production handgun.

.44mag.....pashah.

Post by: mudman on August 16, 2009, 03:33:06 PM: He was kneeling to shoot into B/Gel & lost his ballance. Once was enough for the 44 but later he said Igot to have one of these
about the S&W 500. ???

Post by: Kid Shelleen on August 16, 2009, 04:07:04 PM: It was a great show. I love Gunny. I had never heard of the flintlocks predecessor, the wheel lock. Very cool firing mechanism.

I was shocked when Gunny said about the .44 Magnum; "I don't want to shoot that anymore."

I also liked the slow-mo of the S&W Model 500 recoil and the shock wave that went up Gunnys arm. I would prefer to shoot the Model 500 with a long barrel. I'll pass on the 4" model that was used on the show.

My Brother-in-Law has a long barreled 500 that I'm looking forward to shooting. He loves that wheel gun!!!

I would love a Glock 18. Twelve hundred rounds/min. Yee Haw!!! Gunny made it sound like only LEO and Military can get a Model 18. I would think that anyone with a Class III could pick one up.

Liked the Gunny on the Machine Gun Episode..

Post by: Jackel on August 16, 2009, 06:55:47 PM: yeah i was wondering what that was ::)

If i had a class III my credit card would be worn down to my signature ;D

Post by: alfsauve on August 16, 2009, 07:01:46 PM: Just watched this episode.

Of course he didn't have time to go into single shots (T/C) firing rifle rounds.

For those who can't watch it, he didn't get knocked on his rear by the .44mag. He was squatting when he shot it into some ballistic gel. Not being in a great position he did stumble backwards a bit. Too bad he didn't do the S&W500 into the ballistic gel. Also, for those who missed it, Jessie Abbot was a featured guest in the last segment. (That was twice today, that I knew the name of the feature guest and shouted it out......wife wants to know why I know these ladies' names so well........hey, I watch a lot of TV......... it's my job honey......just my job...... nothing else.)

What I did notice is that sometimes he didn't use eye protection in some of the sequences. And there were a few continuity issues with the editing, but then since I produce videos, I notice those types of things.

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la .........I can't see you. ;D

I was wondering who was going to be the first to bring up Jessie........ My gosh, Jessie Abbot and a Glock 18!!!!!! I dont know which gave me a bigger boner! :o

....I guess I'll be off to the corner now. :P Hey, if you are gonna go, then you should atleast get your money's worth!

Post by: pioneer on August 17, 2009, 01:59:57 PM: I have my digital cable box DVR to record every episode. GREAT SHOW!

Those may not have been spent cases in Gunny's ears. I was a military firearms instructor, and many of the old salts and Marines would prefer sticking a military hard-ball .45 in their ears. I've done it a few times and they work as well as those ..."faggoty, swabbie ear muffs" (as the Gunny would call them). :)

You got that maggot? Now get on your face and give me twenty!

Post by: tombogan03884 on August 17, 2009, 02:04:07 PM: Cigarette filters was another old timers trick. The REAL "Old Salts" made their own plugs with cotton balls and I think it was Bee's wax they used.

I was watching another shooting show just before Lock and Load (also recorded) and it had a segment with Irlene Mandrel. For those too young to remember the Mandrel sisters where very popular singing group. Irlene, the youngest, played drums and was a "Cover Girl" at one time. STRIKE THAT. She was THE poster girl for Cover Girl. Anyway, even my wife sat up and took notice at Irlene's segment.

[{ADDED:] Check out Irlene's home page and biography.

Post by: Ping on August 17, 2009, 07:49:20 PM: I did enjoy the Gunny's iron horse with the ape hangers. He shot damn well for riding up on a Harley. As for Jessie Abbot, I kept my cool but my teenage boys were salivating. And I had a wife that was within arm reach of popping me a good one. 8)
Title: Re: Lock n Load - Pistols
Post by: Walkeraviator on August 17, 2009, 07:52:07 PM: Yeah, the wife is jealous of my affection for Jessie.

On another note... I want Gunny's sunglasses. I dont know if they are certified safety glasses, but teh frosted mirrors look awesome.

Post by: Walter45Auto on August 20, 2009, 01:18:51 PM: My Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag was a fairly soft shooter. Of course I have a .45-70 BFR in the house.......
