Sledge Hammer - had to go find it..,
Walther P99, as good to use as looks cool in hands of Kate Beckinsale and James Bond:
You can easily make it with 8 rounds. Just rewatch the movie: "so, guys, I have only eight boolitz left, so some of you will have to share".Deadpool and the IWI Desert Eagle. Makes them look cool as hell in the movie, but I'd probably want something more practical if I were getting into firefights with gangsters. Probably something with more than 7+1, as I'm not hitting instant bullseyes mid superhero flip.

What is an "inspired" grip? The double-stack Glock grip is bulky and not comfortable for those with medium or smaller hands. The slide is a squared-off block of steel. It is designed to be as concealable as possible with nothing to snag or stick out. A good contrast is the SIG P320, which looks like a fat pig with too much makeup. The SIG also has a fat grip, but is rounded at the corners. The SIG X-grip is much closer to "inspired" for me. The Beretta grip has an excellent shape which is also too large for my hands. But CZs are also "inspired" to my hands.
The slide lock lever is not meant to be a slide release. Glock's own literature refers to it as a "slide lock". But if you had bought the 34, you'd have seen that model has an extended top edge that functions very well as a slide release.
I've never fired a Glock while it was taken apart, so I didn't care about the plastic flexing.
The minimalist, sleek, purposeful look of the Glock fits my view of function driving form in a near-perfect way. From an engineering point of view, I like it more than most others.
An aside: I am much amused by customers who attempt to drop the slide using the slide lock/release lever while an empty mag is in the pistol, struggle with the effort, and then criticize the pistol. The combination of pressure from the slide spring and from the mag spring makes this quite stiff. But one would never do that in real life. You would "slingshot" a pistol (if you do) after reloading, at which point the mag follower is not pushing against the lever.
Cool but horrible trigger.
I wouldn't call a P99 trigger horrible, just it needed a shitload of dry firing in DA to get some of the grit out it has at the beginning. It also has a stupidly short
reset. I've noticed the SW99s were far worse than their walther counterparts.
Ironically the best P99 ish gun is now made the Turks, a Canik TP9SF is pretty killer, for what it is...

And the Glock... *sleek* is not how I would describe it. I have a Beretta 70S, that's sleek. But I guess old pistols kind of live in their own world.
Way too long of a pull in my opinion. Both in DA and SA mode.
Not a fast shooting system. Grit wise I did not notice.
The Glock 19 up until very recently was pretty much king for size/weight/bore axis vs capacity, it was very "sleek" for its class. There are literally still only about 2 or 3 pistols
that even come close. The best attempt I'd ever seen is probably the Caracal C, but it hasn't been reintroduced yet.
Lmao, the SA reset on a P99 is so short, that some people can bump fire the thing, not sure what you're talking about. Sure there's some initial take up, but nothing
severe.
If anything kills the speed it's the high bore axis.
Mosin. Bought two of them years ago and hated them.
Also was underwhelmed with the Colt Python. It’s a cool looking gun, but the newer .357 wheel guns are better quality.
No one's mentioned the 475 Wildey of Death Wish 3 or Dirty Harry's 44 Automag.
Mac 11 not as cool as I thought. Cant get use to the trigger slap and the sights suck
You can easily make it with 8 rounds. Just rewatch the movie: "so, guys, I have only eight boolitz left, so some of you will have to share".
But my range generally frowns down on my attempts at learning how to shoot upside down, mid flip, using only one hand for a desert eagle, so I don't think I'm making that shot anytime soon.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm sure I'd have a smile on my face shooting a desert eagle (assuming I don't slap my forehead with the muzzle flip). Just that outside of range fun/bragging, I don't really see its usefulness over a compact 15rd 9mm or a 13 rd .40/.45. Does anyone actually carry one as EDC? I'll take it all back if someone can make a compelling EDC argument for it outside of STOPPIN PAWAR!
Bullet-Tooth Tony. He's got a compelling EDC argument.
No one's mentioned the 475 Wildey of Death Wish 3 or Dirty Harry's 44 Automag.
Fleming wasn't a gun guy and thus didn't know the ins and outs of firearms useage, development, and history. Add on top of that the movie industry's anti-gun, or at least gun-ignorant, bias, and there's a recipe for bullshit in the Bond movies.
UMP. I shot one years ago and loved it.Hahaha. Read this thread before lunch. Came home. Son is playing CoD. "Dad. I got that vector thing." "Uhhh, OK." "No. The vector???" "Show me. . . . Oh a KRISS Vector. Yeah. If you don't say Kriss, no one knows what you are talking about." (Of course about 80% of the guns on his games are mis-named and such so I never know if he's got a real Vector or just the name of yet another AR variant.)
So I could totally see how CoD would make you want a Vector. I'd prefer one of those HK .45 carbines - USP??? from the 90's.
Forgotten weapons had a video with the host firing a Wildey couldn't go more than a few rounds without jamming or mis fire can't remember which.Unobtanium. So legendary that even if they utterly sucked, they'd look amazing on a wall.
The .44 AutoMag was also Mack Bolan's second chosen weapon, 'Big Thunder' on his hip with 'Belle', his Beretta Brigadier, in a shoulder rig.
Reset is fine just too much slop on the take up (as you said) So that is my only issue with it.
I shoot idpa/uspsa and am a 1911 (trigger) snob. So for me it’s not good.
That said, it has a lot of cool features for the time.
So much saxamaphone. Also, Riggs has exactly three facial expressions.
I shall leave this here.

If we're going tricked-out terrorist gun, my bet's on the FK, the Korth, the MR-73, or the B&T.
Yeah, probably.
The MKIV comes apart so easy. There's no f***ing way I would ever own an MKII/III after touching a 4. I had an MKII and I never took mine apart. Ruger cleaned it once when it was f***ed up, after that I used to just take the grips off and douche the whole thing with gun scrubber, let it dry, relube it, wipe down, put grips back on.... there was
no way I was using a hammer and shit to take that apart... eff that noise. One guy I know who is a gunsmith, there are people who literally come in and pay him $20 to clean their MKI/II/III...
