JimmyZip Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 There is a dent in our breakfast room ceiling now for several months from a 1911 recoil spring plug that my wife has yet to see Now, how long, if ever, 'til you think she'll find it? And then, are you gonna fess up or just claim ignorance? (My very own foolproof course of action ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Did you guys read about the little plastic piece that holds the spring from my Glock captured guide rod landing in Canada somewhere? Looked like a meteor or something when it re-entered the Earths atmosphere!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, are you gonna fess up or just claim ignorance? (My very own foolproof course of action ) I'll claim total ignorance, or blame it on the grandkids. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

SiG Lady Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have two little crescent-shaped divots in my living room ceiling from sudden escapes of certain 1911 components... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunbadweel Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 How about a recoil plug launching into an overhead 48" fluorescent tube? Sounded just like a negligent discharge and ten guys cleaning guns hit the floor with jillions of glass frags all over them...classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrflyer Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 You should have put your forehead in the way. I managed to stop the recoil plug on my STI with my forehead.....then I felt a little trickle of blood run down between my eyes. Had to wear a cap for 2 weeks , lest someone ask " Howd you cut a perfect circle in your forehead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Don't believe any of the "launched to outer space" stories. When gun parts lift off they go into that dimesion where only David Blaine can go... Believe me, I know! When the thumb safety plunger assembly shot from my skinny gun into never-land, I looked on my garage floor for hours (thank goodness for spare parts). Needles to say I couldn't find it. Then weeks later I put on my shirt to go to work and the sucker was in the chest pocket! Street magic I tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
