But I love my high capacity .45!

Nothing better than 14 rounds of .45 auto goodness...

Will anyone ever make .475 wildey double stack?

How about some of those old AMT calibers... 45 magnum, 9mm magnum, 10mm magnum?

They would probably sell as well as Desert Eagles.

Speaking of desert eagles, at the range last weekend, there were some german nationals (they work at Daimler) and they were blasting away with a .44 desert eagle. I have never heard the word "rambo" spoken with such a german accent.

Just a short update: I work in the movie business in Louisiana. I just finished working on a film, "12 Years a Slave" produced by Brad Pitt. At the wrap party last week, Mr. Pitt showed up with his stunning wife. (holy shit)

I couldn't help myself, when I was introduced I mentioned to Mrs. Pitt that I had just finished a gun project based on her carry piece in "Wanted". She was actually interested (or pretended to be) and said she liked that gun so much, she bought one of the three used in the movie from the armorer (Dave Evans) to add to her collection! She said she also has a pair of the pistols she used in "Lara Croft, Tomb Raider" and that she and Brad love to shoot.

She asked if I had any pics and I was able to show her the one with the red background, without acting like a total starstruck goofball (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). I still can't believe I talked guns with one of the hottest women on the planet! We only talked for 2 minutes, but I'll remember that convo for the rest of my life.

Oh yeah, if anybody needed to know - Brad Pitt does not use deodorant and the funk damn near made my eyes water...
 
Most movie stars are not cool. Most are complete jerkoffs.

Dwayne 'the rock' Johnson, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Danny Devito being the exceptions to the rule - in my personal experience.

Ryan Reynolds, Bruce Willis, Rihanna, Peter Berg, John Goodman, Albert Finney - not nice people.

(back on topic +45)

I've decided to get a vintage holster to go with my BBQ gun (fancy dress up pimp gun).

Two very different styles made back in the day, when craftsmenship was king. I'm kinda leaning towards the black basketweave holster on the left...

Did you get a slight boner, if you did it's understandable, just imagine, your dick was just several inches away from Mrs Pitt, while discussing firearms. Only in America Mr.President...:wink:
 
is that .45 on the left a longslide? I saw one that someone pieced together from a springfield longslide and a double stack paraordnance frame. I think it was a 7" barrel.

I'm not a college professor, but I had an extension program in my trousers...

Both holsters are made for 6" longslides. I'd need that to clear the compensator...
 
I don't currently own a gun, but I'd love to get one...I was thinking a Desert Eagle because of how much of an icon the weapon is.

Is there a civilian version of the P90? I'd LOVE one of those. They look sleek, have a 50 round mag, and just seem like they would be **fun** to shoot!

there are civilian P90s, or you can get a 5.7 upper for AR-15.

Some people think Desert Eagles look great on film. Thats all I will say about them other than they are expensive to buy and expensive to feed.
 
DAMN that is one beautiful gun...I want one soooo bad. I can imagine wearing a cute tank-top, form-fitting leather pants and a set of zip-up leather boots with that gun; I'd look more ass-kicking than miss merc, Reily herself!
 
the P90s go on overrun at least once a year...

Try and grab one then from a distributor. They can be found for as low as $1100 if you spend some time searching.

I love overruns/close outs... you can find interesting stuff. I would really like one of the Para Ordnance side folding piston driven AR-15s.

They were $2300 dealer a few years ago... now they are $1300 because $2300 was retarded expensive and nobody bought them.
 
Do you mean the Para TTR AR-15? Because it's not piston driven.

Para said:
Para USA purchased the rights for this design in 2007 and has introduced this rifle as the Para TTR (Tactical Target Rifle). The gas system is described as a Delayed Impingement Gas System. Just so there is no confusion this is not a gas piston system, it is still a gas impingement system. The design attaches an op-rod to the carrier that goes over the gas tube. The gas tube is extended up into the top of the handguard making it longer. This essentially delays the blowback. Although very simple, it was revolutionary for its time and is still incredibly ingenious today. It lowers the chamber pressure prior to the unlocking of the bolt, which allows for more positive extraction. This in turn produces a number of effects. It allows for a smaller and shorter bolt carrier, which means less felt recoil. Once you shoot this rifle it becomes clear it is pretty much recoilless. It vents most of the gas into the handguard and not into the action. This means it runs cleaner longer.

I dunno where you're from, but assuming they don't allow full auto, they make the P90S, which is a semi-auto P90 with an extended barrel (to meet some gun law requirement or another) for civilians.

I'd love to have one of those, as well as the Five-Seven pistol. The thing with those weapons isn't even really the high up-front cost, though. It's the cost of the 5.7x28mm ammo to feed it. From what I'm looking at, a case of 2000 rounds costs $1000. That's 50 cents a shot. I'm not much of a gun expert, but that seems pretty pricey.

Plus I live in California, so I'd be using a P90S with 10 round mags. :roll:
 
I think whoever got a hold of a mess of them added a piston kit... or they are lying to get rid of them or dont know what they actually have. I still want one though. I have never been a fan of the buffer tube.

Meanwhile in Belgistan, they've decided to enact a ban of "abnormally high capacity magazines" this fall. Yay!
No high cap magazines were ever used in spree killings here, but let's ban everything just to be on the safe side.

Also, hicap doesn't depend on the gun. Any centerfire with magazines over 30 rounds will be illegal. Like the PPsh, the Spectre, the Suomi, the RPK, the Galil 40 rounder, etc.
For pistols hicap is more than 20 rounds...
Derp.

That's actually pretty lenient by comparison to some places in the US: in California, any magazine, detachable or not, can not hold more than 10 rounds. Period. The only exception is rimfire tube fed semi autos, like the old marlins from the 50s.

EDIT: I missed that someone two posts up mentioned this already.

What department do you work? Since moving to Los Angeles two years ago I've been working Art Department, primarily props, and done a few small armorer gigs on little indie movies with no money.

And also, on your 1911: post pics when you get the arched MS housing installed, I bet it'll look pretty bitchin.
 
I'm a propmaker working for the construction coordinator.

I start next Tuesday on the Hunger Games trilogy in Atlanta.

Not sure if I'm gonna do the arched mainspring housing or not - maybe later?
