Saying Hi
« on: November 17, 2011, 01:49:19 AM »

Hey guys I'm also yellowjournalism on ASF and a couple other sites including airsoft-barracks and gasguns.info. I heard that ASR was the other big airsoft forum to get on, so here I am. I'm a 26 year old software engineer with some brief military experience, I love shooting and I love airsoft even more (6mm is way cheaper than 9mm is way cheaper than 45ACP ;)). I've owned probably 75+ airsoft guns in my time, but you know what? Nowadays I really only use two. My primary, and my secondary. lol.

I'm an AR guy and a 1911 guy. I'm a gun nut so I appreciate them all, (actually saving up for a M&P, and eagerly waiting for the Marui M&P) but if zombies come, you know what's in my kit.

I'm on two great teams in the Bay Area, California, T.Q. and S.T.A.R.T., and I love this sport to death but I will say this: It's just a game. The guys wearing "call your hit" t-shirts piss me off just as much those who don't call their hits. Chill out guys...we're here to have fun.

And to geek the **** out over guns and gear!  ;D

I think my twin TM G18C's are enough for now.  ;)

I prefer the M&P's grip angle and shape anyway so that's a personal preference thing. Why the hate for M&P's?

I don't like the trigger on M&Ps at all...but we digress. Welcome to the forum. I'm glad to see someone with a good attitude come to the forum.

Hahah that's actually funny because I SPECIFICALLY plan on *immediately* getting a trigger job done on the M&P (when I get it...next year :p), because that's the one thing I hate about it. In fact... Mr. Chris Costa responded to me on his Facebook page saying he runs a 3.5lb trigger on his. =]

I must disagree...

Nothing worse than a chunky Glock with it's "sponge" trigger and it's disgusting grip angle. Only gun I know that REQUIRES people to actually melt the grip in order for it to be naturally ergonomic...

Only thing better than an M&P is a XD, only thing better than those two are any steel/alloy framed gun. :P

You know, I have yet to experience that feeling... Can you recommend any badass comp triggers for Marui 1911's?

Welcome to ASR, it's always good to find others who don't take airsoft too seriously. In fact whenever I come across someome acting like they think they're in Saigon or Helmand Province I find winding them up can be a real giggle

Imo the most comfortable pistol has to be the P99

Yeah I used to love the P99 till I changed my grip. If anyone also shoots real guns I suggest you look up Todd Jarrett on Youtube.. some real good advice on modern handgun technique.


Haha yeah that's the funny thing to me.. some people just don't know when to turn the tacticool switch on and off. On the field you will hear me geeking out over the radio like I'm Captain freakin Price, doing "speed reloads" and stacking up to breach a building go go go BUT-- only because it's fun! I mean, we're just a bunch of adult children playing Soldier! Some guys like to swagger around like killing machines on and off the field...as if they really wouldn't **** their pants under stress anyway.

I have played airsoft with military veterans and you know what? The vaguely overweight ones who talk all serious, lecturing the kiddies like they just came down the mountain with the Ten Tactical Commandments...they've never been deployed near a combat zone. The rare couple fellas who I KNOW saw combat, because they were friends or friends of friends...they never said a word. They just came out to have fun.

I always laugh when people dismiss Glocks (airsoft or real) because of the ergonomics.  It's a gun, not a chair.  I'm carrying a gun based on it's performance, not it's feel.  Get a Hogue wraparound if it bothers you that much.  That said, I've spent a substancial amount of time shooting both a Glock 19 and Glock 22 and it's never bothered me once.

Just a quick story to explain my earlier comment.  My first handgun was a Glock 19.  I put (no joke) over 80,000 rounds through it then I sold it because I was bored with it.  I've since come to regret that decision, but that's another matter.  You want to know how many times that gun was cleaned?  Twice.  And the second time was a half-assed job just to sell it.  My brother got an M&P specifically because he didn't like the ergonomics of my Glock.  After 3 mags, the trigger pin started working it's way out of the gun.  So, it got sent back to S&W for repairs.  It came back and after 5 or so mags, the pin started working it's way out again.  So, he sent it back to S&W again and bought a Glock 22 to hold him over.  The S&W came back and lo and behold after 3 mags the pin started working it's way out again.  At this point he decided to just cut the loss and sell it cheap.  The Glock 22 has had no less than 10,000 rounds put through it without so much as a hint of trouble.

If you want a gun that goes bang each and every time you pull the trigger, get a Glock.  But really, this is a matter for another forum.

If you don't like how the weapon feels in your hand, you're going to be less likely to take it apart, less likely to take it to the range, and less likely to buy ammunition for it.  Hence why I bought a CZ instead of a Glock.  Going to the range/woods with a CZ is a treat, in comparison to the torture it is everyone makes me shoot their stupid Glocks.


I'm not saying Glocks are trash.  I think they're really great weapons -- just not for me.  CZ for me, thanks.

i'm funny i guess--i like how both feel however i find that a CZ does fit my hand better than a glock. i still have no problems with my glock 17 though and if i am carrying a gun on my hip it's that one.

Get a Hogue wraparound if it bothers you that much.

Hogue wrap-around is not going to help you when the gun naturally points up when drawn. Sure you can buy any hammer in the world, but wouldn't you buy one that is balanced? Only this metaphorical hammer is something you are defending you/the people you love/your house with.

Ergonomics have everything to do with choosing a firearm for defence. Makes no sense to choose a gun not made for you or your standards. You could give a person the most accurate and reliable handgun ever made, but if their fingers are to short to reach the trigger, or the gun feels off balanced to them, why would they buy it? I could go on, but I think I've made a point.

This is all subjective, of course.

Use MG's thread for any further RS discussion and we'll see how it goes.

Glocks make sense in the real world and in airsoft allow you to have additional rounds in the mad while staying true to the RS counterpart.  I do like the feel of the single stack 1911 and it is for the feel and function (in airsoft) that I own 3.  In the end it is how you use your weapon and if you had fun that matters.

I love me some 1911, but a Glock is an excellent pistol both airsoft and real steel.

Glock's are cool, so are P226's, but the 1911 is just so awesome :).
