Browning's legacy: The inaccurate autoloader.

[Handy]

Tamara and anyone else,

I live near Reno. Anyone who wants to try putting a 1000 rounds through my P9S is most welcome.

I am not a gunsmith, engineer, bullseye shooter, policeman or complete idiot.

Just a guy with too many ideas and too much computer access.

I do apologize for being controvercial. I once posted a similar "observation" about trigger systems in a more passive tone and received zero response-it does pay to raise eyebrows if you want a good discussion.


I doubt I made more than 5 converts to what I was thinking. But I would encourage all of you to try your best from a bench rest with some of the weapons I've mentioned, or just some of the PPK style pistols out there. You may be surprised just how much mojo is crammed into that little Makarov or ancient Luger.

Certainly accuracy is something of a personal fetish. I really like self loading weapons because of how they work and what they are capable of. What can be achieved with sound design (rather than hand fitting) is what impresses me. But that's just me.

Hey Handy, you shoudl come down the hill next time we hae a Sacramento shoot.

Seriously - we all have our fetishes and our obsessions.

Many of the people on this board have strong opinions and enjoy keyboard sparing when given half a chance.

I fing agreement and accord to be very boring so I usually try and disagree with people. Adversarial conversations are actually the best way to strengthen your argument.

Anyway, maybe you did not change many peoples minds, but I think we all learned something.

Or maybe a seed was planted

Very classy Handy.
