The well-being and happiness of zombies is not a concern of mine.
Loathe and despise handguns. It is an entirely personal thing, and I make no argument.
Yeah, I figure the anti-gun movement is largely visceral. At least now you know why revolvers can be loaded and shot really close to as fast, and sometimes as fast as automatics. Consider your ignorance fought.
I am not part of the “anti-gun” movement, I fear such an approach is impossible under present circumstances. I am part of the Keep the Goddam Things If They Mean That Much To You caucus. The recent upsurge in the “anti-gun” movement I view with calm approval, but I have other priorities.
You may, if you insist, believe that the ferocious resistance to sensible regulation is purely the product of sweet reason and calm deliberation. I find that proposition dubious, at best.
Oh, I’m pretty unmoved that someone like Jerry Miculek (in your words, a “revolver specialist”) can rapidly reload a “stripped down” (in the words of your youtube vid’s narrator) revolver, which I assume means optimized specifically for fast reloads. Does this extreme end of the bell curve have much bearing on crimes committed with semi-automatics?
Yeah, usually the people most willing to use force are the assholes in any argument.
And there’s no point in accusing liberals of being willing to use force indirectly via the FBI, etc… Many liberals hate the FBI and cops in general every bit as much as libertarians do.
That’s great, but as part of the pro-gun movement, I consider you an anti-gunner. I figure you don’t do much more than complain about guns and vote democrat, which is what most anti-gunners do.
Try to imagine my indifference. Not even close, try again.
Stripped down means not trick. Jerry is at the end of the bell curve, but that shows how fast they can be reloaded which is right up there with the end of the bell curve with autos as well. I imagine criminals would be a lot slower with either an auto or a revolver.
That’s cool, just don’t think you are fooling anyone with your “I’m not anti-gun” talk.
When someone is fooling themselves as thoroughly as you are, there is little chance for competition.
Haha, that’s a good one. How am I fooling myself again?
Which itself means… what? I’m not doubting it’s a real gun firing real bullets, but this is a guy who I think can be safely assumed practiced reloading a lot, and used a speedloader and weapon optimized for that purpose, demonstrating training and technical know-how beyond the typical semi-auto user.
And if we’re going to cite extreme examples, there are probably vids of even faster shooters with semis. Miculek’s record is for fastest revolver shooting, isn’t it? Not fastest handgun shooting.
In any case, the U.S. has a lot of semi-auto handguns and not a lot of political will to ban or restrict them. I think it’s an unfortunate self-reinforcing cycle, myself.
Heh, checking Miculek’s wiki page, I see:
So I guess he’s even more exceptional than I thought.
Most gun control laws are.
The proponents author them, and come forth arguing that these laws are needed to fight crime; knowing full well that the proposed laws will do nothing whatsoever to fight crime. That’s never their genuine intent, but they would never be able to get any public support if they were honest about their true motives. A few years later, when crime continues to be unabated, they come back, and say that the laws that were previously passed weren’t enough, and they now need to pass newer, stricter laws, which will ultimately prove just as worthless as all the previous gun control laws did.
They do not do this to fight crime. They know that these laws will do nothing to fight crime. It’s about power and elitism. It’s about those who imagine themselves to be the ruling class seeking to deny us “little people” the power that comes from being armed. It’s about public servants who act like they are our masters; and who do not want to allow us the power to forcefully remind them of their true place.
Gun control laws are indeed designed to “fail”, at least by the intentions that are claimed for them. If a gun control law ever “succeeded” at significantly reducing crime, then it would reduce the “need” for further such laws. Gun control laws can only ever be passed as long as the public perceives that there is a violent crime problem, and can be convinced to support gun control laws as a means of fighting this problem.
So, its a conspiracy by the running dog jackals of the ruling class, or is it the latte-drinking, Volvo driving, NPR addicted liberals?
And you rather obviously prefer to remain ignorant about that subject, for you hold an opinion that could not survive were you to replace that ignorance with knowledge and understanding.
Why not? It’s not possible to understand something and still despise it? Is your capacity for thought really so limited that you can’t conceive of somebody having an opinion that’s at odds with your own?
One might say the same thing about you and your ignorance of the value of human life.
Holy cow, you have literally no sense of self-awareness and may be missing several important pieces of your brain. Please go play in traffic.
I haven’t handled the gun but from the outside it looks really stock. No optical sights, no muzzle break, no extra weighted barrel to fight recoil. There is not much that makes that gun load better except the edges of the cylinder are likely chamfered a bit to ease the load, but with a 38 you can’t chamfer them very much. He probably has lightened his trigger, otherwise the gun looks stock. It’s less trick than my revolver that I posted a picture of earlier. I estimate gun and work is right around $1000.
He’s not using a speedloader. He’s using moon clips which are different though happen to be simpler, faster and cheaper than speedloaders. Speadloaders load real fast, yes revolvers can be loaded real fast. Auto’s are not much faster on the reloads or the shooting (if at all) than a modern DA revolver. A stock 1911 isn’t very fast to reload either, and is fairly slow if you are a regular guy with a stock gun. Now my $3600 tricked out race 1911 with a lot more aftermarket work than Jerry’s revolver including a lightened and extended mag release button and a Techwell TGO magwell is faster on the load but not by much, maybe a 1-2 tenths of a second.
6 reload 6? Honestly, I’m unaware of any.
If you can find a faster 6 reload 6 I’d be impressed. Here’s World Champion Blake Miguez doing a similar drill in what sounds like a pretty similar time using a 2011 semi auto pistol and a magwell much larger than you can put on a 1911 costing 3-4 times that of Jerry’s revolver.
Well of course. You’re a gun grabber who has no idea what he is talking about, so that figures.
He’s a legend in the sport. If you can find a video of anyone besting him with a 1911 I’d be happy to watch. Good luck to you.
