The Snowflake Guns of P-F

[Joe in PNG]

There's actually a really simple algorithm:

Is it a Glock in 9mm? Not hipster.

Is it not a Glock or not 9mm? Hipster.

I, of course, say this as a man who owns zero Glocks.

I don't know- there's plenty of hipsterism in a P80 or 17L

I'll give you the 17L, but a P80 is only sort of a Glock.

I was referring to the Glock Brand Retro "As Adopted By The Austrian Army" P80, not the DIY P80.

In that case, you win. I had no idea the item you're referring to even existed.

Yep, and I want one.

Glock P80

A guy that carries a pearl-handled SAA isn’t a snowflake if he knows he’s being weird (although he *may* be a hipster, irony dependent). He’s a snowflake when he tells you all the reasons he chose that over a Glock for his “gun fighting”.

Best I can do:



Also, there are plenty of good reasons why this might be more appropriate than a Glock. For instance (and with apologies to George S Patton) you might work in an NPE but low key need to shoot your way out of a New Orleans whorehouse after hours.

How are you going to do that with a Glock? Without class. That's how.

...but then I talked to a friend from my gun club, not a newb by any means, and discovered he knew nothing this model's existence.....I am too old to understand it is indeed a snowflake now.

FM BHP Detective, fitted with the C&S SFS system, Warren Tactical sights. In the 20+ years I have owned it I don't think it has ever malfunctioned, or at least I cannot remember it happening. Internally it has the firing pin block so late Gen II or a Gen III design if it were FN made. Once BHP solutions started selling recoil spring kits a few years back I started to shoot it more (it is a double spring system). Back around Halloween last year I switched up to all BHP all the time for a while, and this is by far the most pleasant one to carry. I seem to shoot it better in standards drills than the full size guns too.

It only qualifies if you have the belt buckle it fits into.

I can't like that enough.

Hey yea...so can you drop that in the package you're sending me soon?

Thanks.
