ErikW Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Here's a trivia(l) question just for fun... Which adjustable pistol sight have I never broken? Clues: I own the pistol; It's the first gun I ever bought; I've shot many thousands of rounds through it, mostly hot factory loads; I have never shot it in USPSA competition; the only thing I ever broke on this gun was its guide rod.

Matthew_Mink Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Uuuhhhhhh, stock Glock adjustables. Heck, I don't even know you so I could be waaaayyyyy offbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter Grrl Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 he shoots a glock in production division, so I don't think that's it. I was going to say a revolver, until I noticed the "guide rod" hint... So that leaves my guess as a Colt box stock 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I guess your Tangfo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Erik, I would guess the old stock adjustables from Glock too...except mine alwyas seems to break. Of course, that might have something to do with me drifting them out, then smashing them on the concrete floor with a sledgehammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Ruger .22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 This is fun. shred's on the right track... I just realized why it hasn't broken. It doesn't reciprocate with the slide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 My second thought was Browning Buckmark .22. But I thought most people wouldn't buy one of those as a first handgun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 .22 conversion for your 1911? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Lots of people get .22's for a first pistol (and I almost even got a Buckmark). And given that Erik hasn't shot it in competition, I bet the only reason is there's no division for it. 'Sides, they're not known for breaking sights.

Nik Habicht Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Guess I did it backwards.... S&W 581, S&W 910, S&W4516, Buckmark, Glock 19....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 5, 2003 Author Share Posted June 5, 2003 Browning Buckmark it is, with OEM adjustable sight. It's on the fixed rib so it doesn't reciprocate. What's wrong with a Buckmark for a first pistol? Good sights, awesome trigger, accurate. Worst I can say about it is the screws come loose from that rib and the gun malfunctions when the rib is loose. LocTite does the trick. So really the worst thing about it is the washers underneath the rib. Maybe I didn't break the guide rod; I for sure broke the firing pin. (But we're talking a bazillion rounds of HV .22 LR through a $240 gun.) OK, maybe the worst part about it is magazines cost $25 each. One of these days I'll take it out to the Sacramento steel match and shoot the Rimfire division. P.S. Another good thing about it is it's not made by an anti-freedom company, Ruger.

ErikW Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 I just realized there is an adjustable sight I have not broken on a centerfire pistol. It was a Mec-Gar on a Springfield P9 9x19. (The same sight design was marketed by Pachmayr.) It's not a Bo-Mar copy, which may be why it hasn't broken. I have since removed it and gone back to the original fixed target sight.
