I think it does, but of all the things that should absolutely NOT happen is dropping the hammer with a trigger pull, with the safety on, lmaooo.
I'm not familiar with this specific pistol (and the video is laggy as hell on my phone so I can't see what's happening very well) but I have a Walther where the safety is just a decocker, but to actually decock it you have to pull the trigger. Feels sketchy as hell the first time around and if you leave it on 'safe' the trigger still does trigger things (DA/SA) so if you go to shoot it you're probably going to think it's an empty chamber/dead round until you troubleshoot and realize the decocker is on

The P226 still got some contract use alongside the M9 as well. NCIS and OSI were carrying them instead of the Beretta, not sure if that's still the case since the M17/18 adoption.

Yep, and it was the official sidearm for US Navy SEALs as well, until it was replaced by the HK45C as the Mk24. And the P228 was also used in some capacity. It really is a shame to see even the legacy SIG products like the P226 tainted by the current leadership and their outsourcing to incompetent heathens in India.
 
Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a link to back issues of Shotgun News (now firearms news), specifically from 2010?

There’s a multi-issue article on a semi-auto Bren conversion I’d really like to get my hands on. I’ve been able to find a text only copy of the last article and that’s it Link

There are a few issues on internet archive but not the ones I’m looking for. I’ve tried searching myself but haven’t been able to find anything. I wouldn’t even mind purchasing them but their current website is dogshit and they don’t seem to offer back issues for sale.
 
The HK roller delay (not roller locked) series of firearms all use the same triggerpack, but the MP5 trigger pack is its own thing and is smaller
the typical HK roller delay trigger pack is the same between the G3, HK33, and MP5. what differs (ignoring generational changes like the lever vs roller sear or things like burst cams) is the ejector lever and hammer spring. all other parts in the trigger pack interchange. the HK11A1, HK21, and HK21A1 have some unique parts and the HK11 and HK21E also have some more unique parts. HK32, HK41, and HK43 (and the various Fleming and Vollmer guns like the HK51) also interchange but have a weird ejector lever or a modified one from an HK33 or G3.
226 not have a firing pin block
it does have a firing pin block. very weird, wonder what's going on there.

I stand corrected. Well once the FRT for these things comes on the market, those HK 21 kits will be  VERY tempting.
My radial delayed AR9 shoots amazing
IMO AR 9s are mediocre at best PCCs. You're still restricted to the form factor of an AR15, at which point, why not just have it in 5.56? One of the requirements IMO of a good PCC, is that it is substantially smaller than a rifle in form (if not its entire size because of the gAyTF and the NFA), especially with magazines in the grip like the Ruger PCC or Keltec sub 2000

The biggest issue I have with AR9's is that absolutely NO effort has been spent to delete the completely unnecessary buffer tube from the AR9 design. Someone needs to "bite the bullet" and come up with a buffertubeless upper that still works with an AR lower, sort of what Brownell's did for the BR-180.

I want an 8 in AR-9 that can fold or collapse into a package that is the same size or smaller than an MP5 with an equivalent length barrel, and have the ability to function while folded, and no, that goofy folding buffer tube adaptor does not count, as the firearm will not function more than once while folded (for obvious reasons).

Unless your AR9 behaves as I described, any price over $900 is too much, I don't care who made it, I don't care if its got some sort of goofy radial delay system. If it can't fold into a package the same size as an MP5, there is no reason to chose one over an MP5 other than cost.
 
About the only AR9 style weapon I'd own is the Freedom Ordnance FM-9. Its worth having the AR9 form factor to me because it's belt-fed. And the newest generation of the FM-9 will also feed from GLOCK magazines if you get the complete rifle. And I believe the newest one will also accept FRTs and Super Safeties. Its kind of like a Fightlite MCR shrunk down to 9mm.

There's multiple adapters that allow you to basically delete it.


Hopefully Flux Defense is serious about releasing a a newly designed Glock chassis. I'll happily pick up another G34 or 47 for a host.

Mp5 with stock extended is only an inch of two shorter than an 11.5 inch ar.

I can obviously make an exemption for a belt fed, lmaooo.
 
I israeli carry and people chew me out on it but I was wondering if maybe carrying with a blank in the chamber is a fair compromise? that way you don't have to rack it but if it misfires it poses no threat

No, it's not a compromise. Most blanks won't be able to properly cycle the gun, and the ones that could you might as well just have an actual bullet chambered because if you're afraid of it going off while holstered a blank can still do damage. If you aren't comfortable carrying with one in the chamber, especially with a glock, then either you just arent comfortable carrying or you arent comfortable with your carry set up. Make sure you have an actual decent holster and not some we the people amazon crap, and just have it on you as you go about your day, as you work etc. while empty to get used to the feel and understand that its not just going to go off unless its a p320.
 
I really regret not getting a gun that had a button press safety because I do not like that it can be fired with just the trigger without any confirmation when starting to shoot. I don't understand why this is unacceptable. I didn't know guns were made without button safeties.

This is a very common sentiment, especially in newer shooters.
If you like the size of your 43, but want a manual safety, I'd recommend considering a Smith and Wesson M&P Shield Plus. They do have versions with a thumb safety.
Just be sure to practice practice practice. Turning the safety off must be muscle memory, otherwise, your cultural enrichment will be far more unpleasant

One last thing. Check out handgunhero.com
You can visually compare size of handguns on there. Was very useful when I was looking for a niggerblaster
