The Chicago shoot seems dicey, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. I’ll keep an eye out for updates. Otherwise, we have a Monday Trifecta. Thanks for the assist, GB. Rocks to a gun fight?

What ever became of that PL14 Kalash pistol? The article was dated 2015. Was it adapted, or abandoned?
Sounds like the PL15 is being phased in with Spetznatz etc. Does not look like they will do a wholesale replacement of their Makarovs like we did with Berettas v. 1911s, even though the 9×19 is demonstrably superior to the 9×18 Mak.
PS – not a typo, PL15 superceded PL14.
What “defects” did the PL14 have that were corrected by the PL15?
Just interesting to follow the links.
PL14 was an all metal hammer-fired sa/da pistol with a fairly slow trigger reset. The 15 is an alloy frame striker fired gun with a faster reset for faster follow up shots, doubles etc. Read that on a search to be honest, don’t think I have seen anything more recent than a Makarov personally.
Sounds like little Mo won’t be throwing rocks at the po-po no mo’.
I wonder if he was affected in the head by the fasting/feasting of Ramalamadingdong?
Not no mo’
Excellent start to the work week. Wilted Willy will be proud. The Fruitcake Capital of the World is minus another nut. Maybe he was mad cause the Vidalia Onion Festival was cancelled. And yeah, rocks to a gunfight? Suicide by cop? Even dumber than the knife to a gunfight idea in story 2. Chiraq shooting does seem somewhat dicey, or maybe they just don’t have all the details yet. Did the 16 yo catch a round meant for someone else or is this Darwin getting a head start? Shame.
Gun pr0n looks like Luger had carnal congress with 1911. Got lost in the linky for awhile. You knew that would happen, didn’t you
“Got lost in the linky for awhile. You knew that would happen, didn’t you”
That’s exactly what they’re for, GB.
*grin*
Kinda weird looking but I like that low bore to hand axis.
I have only been to Chicago twice. Once on my way to Montana and once on my way back. Only stopped to get fuel and if I don’t ever go back it will be too soon. They must hold some kind of record for killing everyday people there.
That gat is uglier than a hunting party of “Predator” aliens.
Did the AK-47 gat have gittens?
