ahh BluesBear, you're killing me. :D

Once again guys, thanks for a excellent story. Please keep up the good work. That fact you that the two of you are doing this on your own time simply for our enjoyment is not lost on me.

I am also thinking this story (or stories) is too much for a full feature film. I am thinking a HBO mini series? Heck, lets just make a series and keep going. BluesBear's commentary would have to be included of course. Who needs 24 after reading this?

Thanks again.
 
If Peaches was abducted by aliens this story's gonna take a downhill turn,methinks.

NC,you (in the story) prefer Colt .45's yet didn't you complain back in Qatar when Lorenzo broke into your apartment:
Some kind of funny-looking M1911 clone, Commander-length barrel, with a suppressor. One of those double stack ones, an STI, no less. So I was getting robbed by an STI-toting 1911 snob. Nice.

Oh yeah,and Hawk?Yeah,he looks just like Merle Haggard.:D
 
I thought that the change in the mass associated with adding compensators or mufflers, made it difficult to make the 1911 reliable for both the muffled and non-muffled action. In other words, it works well with the muffler, but not without the muffler, or vice versa. I can see a fixed barrel pistol working well with a muffler, but a 1911 barrel that pivots down, and the sensitivity to timing issues associated with that design, seems to be an strange choice for a muffled pistol.

That used to be the case. Newer suppressors from AAC and other companies are lightweight enough that they don't interfere with Browning-type pistols with their tilting barrels, that is, Glocks, Sigs, HKs, and most everything else.

Observe.

Matter of fact, I plan on buying one of these for my Colt next year. :cool:

This was actually a question I had when I first started learning about cans and how they work on browning inspired actions.

There are suppressors specifically designed for short recoil operated pistols. They use a recoil assisted design called a Nielsen piston or something like that. Those keywords should be enough to get you started on a google search.
 
Bah, concentrate on writing story, NC! Not stealing my thunder with informative posts while I'm writing my own. :neener:

Mabey he likes 1911s but just doesn't like the type of people who USUALLY like 1911.:neener:

Actually most purists don't consider the double stack variants or the DA's as 1911's

Someone's sig line I read once said something like "if it isn't single action and it isn't single stack, it ain't a 1911"
 
bookmarks not needed

It is completely unnecessary to make a 'bookmark post' :banghead:

If you go to the top of any page in a thread, there is a 'thread tools' link. Select 'subscribe' and you'll get an email the first time someone posts to the thread since you last read it.

That email will have a link that will take you directly to first unread post.
 
View 1st unread, vs. email notification

The view first unread is certainly useful, esp. if the thread is near the top, but if the thread has been idle for a little bit (yea, right, like that would happen with this one!) the email notification works better for me. YMMV, of course, and that's why there are different options ... so you and I can choose what works best for us.
 
Looking at the sound attenuation in dB shown for the Evolution 45, it lists 23 dB dry, and 37 dB wet (water). That 23 dB attenuation is like a set of cheap earmuffs; a cheap earmuff still results in a very loud boom when my 45 is fired.

I wonder about how the system operates when "wet"; do you carry a bucket of water around and dunk the muffler in water before firing? Is it a sealed system that is leak proof, and filled before use? How many shots before water must be added or replaced? Attenuation of 37 dB would be enough to make a 45 sound like someone dropped a book on the floor, so that would be useful in a covert operation, where the dry 23dB would still be heard by many, and draw a lot of attention to the area.
 
Not an update, so stay calm everybody. :)

"Wet" on a can refers to grease. Not water. I just run mine dry. Even dry, if you are in the next room, you wouldn't immediatly think gunshot. (yes, been there, done that). On centerfire pistol cans, we pretty much stick with the AAC stuff, because it really is awesome. It isn't movie gun quiet, but it is much much quieter.

No, I don't know this because I'm an international super thief and cold blooded killer, I know it because I sell suppresors. :p
 
All of my items were in there. FAL carbine, with fifty magazines, emergency replacement parts, check. Colt Government Model, twenty magazines, replacement parts, check. Smith and Wesson Six-Two-Nine revolver, check. S&W 640 and 642 snubbies, check. H&K UMP-45 submachine gun, check. Suppressors for the Colt and the UMP. Six hundred rounds of .44 Magnum ammo, various types. One thousand rounds of .45ACP, two hundred and thirty grain, plus-P hollow points. Four hundred rounds of .308, one hundred and fifty-five grain Hornady TAP, check. Several hundred rounds of .38 +P and .357 Magnum ammo. Various load bearing gear, holsters, optics, etc.

"Got you a strong side belt holster for concealment, and a mag pouch. Got you a drop leg rig too, and a pouch for the suppressor. Twelve magazines for the pistol, twenty for the rifle, plus a chest harness to carry the rifle mags in. You need body armor?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Okay, we'll get you a level three-A vest with ceramic rifle plates. Ammo?"

"Yeah...the usual."

"Okay, that's three hundred rounds of plus-P hollow points for the pistol, and three hundred rounds of one-fifty-grain jacketed soft point in .308. Anything else?"

Am I missing something?

When it comes to his primary weapon, Nightcrawler keeps bringing along way more magazines than he can fill with ammunition. Okay, so I understand wanting to make sure you've got plenty of magazines, but at some point I think he'd want the ammo rather than a pile of empty magazines.

Maybe he's planning on obtaining ammunition through other channels primarily and doesn't think he needs a full loadout? At least his percentage of fully-loaded magazines is getting better ... up to 75% from 40%.
I stopped my car by a well-used, dusty Chevy pickup and got out.

So you made Chang and Weinstein buy you a new, sanitary Ford Taurus and then you ditch it right away for another vehicle?

I'm being picky, sorry. I like the stories a lot.
 
Beats me. I've always run mine dry. I'll ask them next time I talk to them.
