NC Wants Smith & Wesson to Replace Faulty Revolvers

News & Observer ^ | 03/18/06 | Associated Press

It is a SW9M.

New in the box and never fired.

I didn't even like getting it out of the box.

Unless I hit the lottery,
I'll always consider the Python and Smith #41 to be the two that got away.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That's an ugly gun.

Life's too short, even if they work.

[5Madman2]

I take it you mean the Sigma? (Glock Clone)

They have a bad rep-most of it is deserved.

I have had two in 40 cal (The Economics of the moment) that have worked flawlessly, but from everything I have heard from some very reputable people that is the exception rather than the rule.

[Tijeras_Slim]

41's are pretty available. I've got a newly manufactured one, and it digests a variety of ammo a bit better than some of the earlier ones.

Glock G21

[Eaker]

It is made out of some kind of plastic.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Not a Glock fan, but I'll overlook it in your case 'cause your kids are so darn cute. :)

[Eaker]

It ain't mine that's for sure!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Top rack, darnit!

[TXBSAFH]

Glock #1
Kimber 45 #2

[5Madman2]

Then it's either the Sigma or P99 (A Walther Clone)

Probably the Sigma-the P99 has a fairly good rep-never handled one.

I stick with Glocks and decent 1911's now-just picked up a Para Ord SSP that is sweet

[Tijeras_Slim]

Kimber's good. Had a stainless gold match. Only 1911 I have now is a Colt vintage 1950 in .38 Super.

[Eaker]

WHat can I say, I love my plastic!

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm voting for the Sigma (or Smegma as some wag refered to it). I've had a P99, and it was very reliable. Got rid of it because of the mag release. Found myself once trying to do a reload of a 1911 by pushing down on the trigger guard with my trigger finger P99 style. My first thought was "Under other circumstances this could be really embarassing!."

[norton]

Just had my eyes lazed,
maybe i'll go shopping again now that I can see where I'm pointing.

[Tijeras_Slim]

They're too easy to clean! No better way to pass an afternoon than scrubbing impacted lead from cheap wadcutters out of the cylinder of a .38/44 Heavy Duty. ;)

DOC here in Missouri is only now getting autos to some officers. For now only Probation and Parole officers have the Glock option. COs only have issued revolvers, rifles and shotguns. P&P officers have to buy their own sidearms.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The newer ones are drilled and tapped for a Weaver # 67 (?) mount. Slap a red-dot on one and it's a small critter deathray.

[5Madman2]

That's pretty much what I figure too-

Changing guns can be a pain sometimes-My Glock has the NY 12 pd trigger (Mandated). After a hundred rounds or so with that, I have to focus on trigger control when I pick up that single action 1911.

We don't even want to discuss the trigger on the Smegma
