National Glock switch inventor regrets inventing them (i.e., more FUD)

[The Heretic]

If such a thing were legal, my G29 would be rocking one for sure!

I would enjoy one for about 10 minutes - then I could not afford the ammo any longer.

I can't think of many (if any) tactical scenarios where such a thing on a handgun (no stock/brace) would be beneficial to survival - except maybe one where temporary (very temporary) intimidation (i.e., suppressive fire) would be helpful.

Not everything has to have some 'tactical' use. It's ok to just have some bubbleguming fun once in a while.

I guess I'm lucky that doing a couple 15-round mag dumps wouldn't bankrupt me.

Wait until some smart-@55 decides to design and 3d print a version for the S&W glock clones Sigma, M&P, and then there's the other brands' glock clones too

10mm machine pistol just might be worth getting an SOT for!

Seems like the people attracted to these are the criminals who have stolen/illegal guns in the first place and don't pay any attention to laws.

You know, this crowd:

the same subset of people that caused the NFA 1934 to exist, that gave the Feds the excuse to pass GCA 1968, and so on, since then? almost as if the lawmakers don't really care about actually penalizing criminals and care more about feelings and making more people criminals

When a relative sold his MAC-10, I asked him why he did so. He said it wasn't worth $5 per second to play with. Of course, that was decades ago, too.

A cheaper alternative is the Masterpiece arms Mac 10 ($399 at palmetto right now). Takes Glock mags (with a $100 new grip). Semi auto but can bump fire occasionally if you want. Fun stuff.

With a brace & a hand stop? Might be interesting…

I just want a delayed (don't want a CMMG or HK) PCC in 10mm, something along the lines of Ruger's offering. 180gr @ 1,600fps in a lightweight rifle with a red dot

Why do you dislike the CMMG or HK systems?

All the sniveling about the Glock conversions just illustrates how outrageously stupid these laws, and more importantly, the people who write them are. The Hughes amendment prevented law abiding citizens from filing Form 1s and legally making such a conversion. It did nothing for the criminal element to violate the law. And yet shrill calls for "there should be a law!" Wah.

THIS! They can make laws till the cows come. What they refuse to see is the "law" only works for those who follow the law. What they always want to do is punish those of us to do follow the law while making every excuse for the scum who do not.

My son and I went out shooting a bunch of machineguns yesterday. Mac 10's, MP 40 , M16's , MP5K etc. Rule was no semi auto shooting. Full auto mag dumps only. No one was at the range as usual at 6 PM so our target was a can set up on the berm 30 feet away. Took half an hour of shooting to hit it. Once that dirt starts flying target recognition goes away.

As they say, cans don't shoot back.

Would be interesting to see results of hits on moving targets that use cover - semi vs. auto. Even better would be when the "targets" could shoot back. I.E., take two squads out with similar training/experience in tactics, and tell one they can only use semi, and the other only use full auto, have them use the MILES system and see who has a higher hit rate overall. Switch the requirements between squads back and forth so that the results are less dependent on squad skill/etc.

 

[CamoDeafie]

have them use the MILES system

I don't remember the MILES system being anywhere as reliable as simunitions or paintball

Perhaps it would be feasible to start a new trend where the crims will tightly wrap ones head with a plastic bag.

The inventor of the plastic shopping bag can then come out of the woodwork and take great pride in solving the crime plague.

The inventers will cancel each other out and the universe will be rebalanced.

Dude, you owe me patent royalties, I came up with the Headbag Barrier Method back in the early days of the Covid scamdemic.
