"Gangsta"! firearm buysers/shooters

One of my shooting buddies was at our local indoor range when a gangsta-type came in to try out his brand new Glock. After setting up his target and shooting two full mag through the gun (held sideways and pushing the gun to help get the bullets started) he had maybe 4 hole in the paper. He cussed a blue streak about getting his money back when my friend offered to look at if for him. My buddie shot a full mag through the gun with each shot in the 10 or X of a standard B2. Good stance, good sight picture, proper gun handling. 
After the gun was empty, my buddy gave it back to the gangsta, whereby the gangsta threw it down on the concrete floor, swore at it, threw it back into the box and stormed out of the range. 
My friend never did find out what happened.

ROFLMAO!!!
I have a friend, who got home in KC one Sunday, after being at the range. Several "would be's" walked up to him, and told him "Nice car, now how about giving it to us?" He replied, ok, and opened up the trunk, and pulled his Garand, and chambered a round. They all started bacing up, and he told them where each of them lived. The asked him why he said that, and he told them that he knew each of them, and nothing had better happen to his car. They promptly bugged out.
He also had a run in with a pint sized one. This one wanted to know why he was painting over a stop sign that had been "tagged". The half-pint, told him it was his sign, and my friend told him that he paid taxes, and it was his sign. The half-pint opened his jacket to show a chrome plated pistol, whereupon my friend pulled a Ruger Security Six 6" out of his bib overalls. The younger one also bugged out promptly.

i never understood gangstas obessions with "throwing the bullets" or pushing the gun forward. It doesnt make any sense. and what is their obession with 25 autos. Things I will never know.

this one gangsta sells glocks for 85 dollars. he tucks it in his pants and goes around robbing people sometimes. he lifts up his shirt and says, "let me get 5 dollars for Wendys" he robs people for money for burgers!!! and his mom gives him 300 dollars a month to buy clothes and whatnot. needless to say, he cant shoot, nor has ever shot at anybody.

Come on now, these aren't really advanced, civilized people here. No one has the heart to tell them the bullets throw themselves.
I wonder how these guys would look using a bow? Hmmmm...

I've had several situations like that. Favorite was a guy who had a Jennings .22 stuck in the back of his pants. He tried to hold up a place I worked. He called the cashier (a big, middle-age single mother) something unprintable and demanded the money in the register. Her response was even more colorful, and she dared him to back up his threat. He then reached back and yanked on the gun with his finger in the trigger-guard. I was in the next room, and all I heard was a pop and some girlish screeching. When Fulton Co. police showed up, the perp asked if they were going to call an ambulance, and one of the officers stopped laughing long enough to say, "yeah, in a minute, I guess."
On another occasion, I was in a really scummy supermarket called Ingle's, and the twitchy redneck in front of me in line reached into his pocket to retrieve his gun (a Rossi .38) and it slipped and fell to the floor. This is rural Georgia. Everyone packs. Much hilarity ensued. Bad guy was smart enough not to try and pick it up. (I remember the "security guard" being shocked that there were so many armed people in his store, and after several of us had our guns out for at least ten seconds, he woke up and started wildly shouting at US to "freeze! Drop your weapons!" Yeah, right.)
A third time was in a convenience store. The robber had come in and demanded all the money (in the middle of the afternoon). The clerk refused, at which point the robber pulled out his gun and slapped it on the counter, saying "that's why." The clerk simply grabbed it. The robber protested, and the clerk replied that the robber was welcome to call the police if he wanted.
I swear, despite the amount of criminal activity in Atlanta, it's a good thing the majority of them are dumb as stumps
Maybe it harkens back to the crime noir movies and books from the 1930's. The Philip Marlows of the world and their protagonists all seemed to favor small caliber automatics. I don't recall reading about anything larger than a .32 in any of Dashell Hammett's or Raymond Chandler's books. <g>

We used to have a "gangsta" wannabe working at our firm about four years ago. God only knows how he got hired (probably to fill some quota) but he was always talking street slang and walking around with baggy drawers, excessive jewelry, dreadlocks, etc.
Anyway, one evening we were talking about firearms and I asked what motivated gangbangers to hold the gun sideways. His explanation was that by holding it in that fashion you could shoot as if your were punching someone, and even made a point of demonstating the technique with an empty hand. I was tempted to point out how inaccurate and ridiculous such a tactic was, but then I didn't want to improve his shooting. If I'm ever placed in a situation where I am forced to defend myself, I hope and pray that the little miscreant holds similar beliefs about canting the gun sideways.

We once figured out what was with the whole "sideways" thing. Mom's first pistol was some oddball brand (don't remember what, just remember "discussing" their making a choice without asking for an opinion first). Funny thing was, this pistol wouldn't cycle unless it was held sideways (truthfully, almost upside-down). So we figured that was what was behind the "gangsta" thing: they used cheap guns, and needed the grav assist to get them to feed...

Okay, tell me with a straight face that you wouldn't be gratified to find out this guy got his ass shot and killed. What a piece of sh*t.

A couple of years back I was along side a group of real shady characters at public range. Something was very wrong with one of the pistols (a 1911 clone if I remember correctly) they were shooting. Every fourth round or so it would jam up. When this would happen, a member of the group would walk up to the shooter’s side and start whacking the slide until it cleared. The shooter would then go about his merry way and finish whatever was left in the magazine.

one time someone attempted to mug me and my buddy. before i continue let me tell you this was in detroit, somewhere i prefer not to go unarmed. anyways my friend is a bit older and has his CCW. unfortunatly the BG came from around a corner produced his pistol (sidways of course) about 6 inches from my freinds face. my friend has been through alot of dangerous activities and is former united states marine, so he reacts in a calm manner and asks "what model pistol is that?" to my utter shock at the bangers stupidity he turns the gun sideways to look at the model name and caliber. at that time my freind presses the magazine release button and grabs the magazine. he then proceeds to unholster his HK mk23 and says in a almost demonic voice "im sure you know how many bodies they find around here, one more wouldnt make much of a differance would it?" he then tell the bastard to bugger off in less polite terms. needless to say afterwards we got out of there ASAP. we had a good laugh later that night. i still can't beleive he actually looked at the model name.

I was at the range a few months ago when I saw a couple of Mexicans (not racist BTW) shooting some guns, a 9mm and .40 (the only gun I remember looked like a Ruger CF semi auto). They had the huge man sized targets with empty space stretching the overall width to about 3 feet. They werent holding the gun sizeways, but instead they were just holding the gun in the general direction and PULLING the trigger. I dont even think they know there are sites on guns. 
There were a few lucky hits on the center of the target, but out of several hundred rounds, they only hit the entire paper a few dozen times.
I dont see many "gangster" types in the range too often, although I see them occasionally at the front looking at the guns.

Heh, I get that a lot.
Hey, even the peaceful (notice, I did not say "pacifist"!) can be pushed too far, you know.
Look up the name "Jeffrey" and you find it means "Heavenly Peace: Blessed One." That was on a bookmark my mom once bought me, and I liked it, so that's what I used. I do believe peace is a worthy concept toward which to strive.
Watch your ass, 'cause somewhere out there probably is a dude calling himself "NastyEvilBellicoseJeffrey," and he probably CCWs too.

Met him; he's a wuss
So, your friend CCWs a MK23? Those things are monstrous. And the bad guy still had a round in the chamber, why didn't he shoot at you then? And your friend pressed the mag release button... he must be very fast. The banger didn't try to fight at all when he was reaching for the magazine release?

you dont have to pick his story apart. what does he have to gain by lying to us. i know alot of it sounds unbelievable, but give em the benefit of the doubt. they make some version of the mk23 with a 4.5 barrel i think. It cuts the size down. and all the marines i know, are very quick with their hands. im just sayin is all.

Maybe when he dropped the mag, he was hoping it had a magazine disconnect... I'd prefer someone shooting at me to only have one round available, and would hope they would miss with that one.

Utter shock factor. Wouldn't you be a little perturbed if someone was quick enough to snag your mag while you were *holding* the gun?
