Some pretty cool vintage firearm ads that I found

wood grips in the dishwasher feels like a mistake

[-]

Academic_Nectarine94@reddit

Depends on the wood. Something like ipe might be fine. Pine would die immediately.

Also, a lot depends on the finish ans your conditioning habits. If you have some crazy epoxy finish it might do nothing. If you never ever oil it, then it'll probably just finish what you started.

I've put a couple knives with wood handles in the dishwasher. My parents did for 40 years off and on. (Not a lot since we didn't have one for many, and it was frowned on, but everyone tosses it in once in a while). Victorinox rosewood handle was fine. Needed oil, but it would after 40 years anyway LOL. The Veri-sharp was less fine. I replaced the handle after it literally crumbled in my hand one day LOL. Again, 40 years. Was it the neglect or the dishwasher? The type of wood really really matters

This is my sign to go buy some Glock C models. Been putting it off for far too long.

[-]

singlemale4cats@reddit

You could just get your existing one magnaported. Surprisingly cheap.

[-]

StockTelephone8113@reddit

I agree and have 2 ported glocks from Agency Arms. I really just want a few OEM ported glocks

[-]

Ornery_Secretary_850@reddit

inexpensive. There's nothing cheap about Magnaport.

Rappelling with the musket length 9mm is great

MikeyG916@reddit

I actually own a brand new in box Glock 23C.

[-]

Bank_Gothic@reddit

I have a 17C. It’s fun to shoot but will blind you at night.

Yea that's how my ported 19 is. Its like staring into a quick weld flash

If you have to shoot from retention, you’re going to hate that pistol.

My 17C doesn’t do that! Guess I gotta step it up to .40 Problem Solver

Lost it at #20

Is that the "clever girl" Muldoon shotgun?

ROVengineer@reddit

What’s with the rounds on the CAW system?

[-]

Specialist-Ad-5300@reddit (OP)

AAI’s CAWS entry fired a plastic cased flechette round designated SCMITR, AAI developed this ammunition to increase the shotgun’s range out to 150m while increasing hit probability. H&K, in partnership with Winchester/Olin had developed a similar brass-cased flechette round, however this had suffered issues with accuracy and was quickly abandoned for convention buckshot. The wider, flatter flechettes of AAI’s SCMITR ammunition were developed to have improved wounding potential and were reputedly able to penetrate up to 76mm of pine board or up to 3mm of mild steel plate at 150m.

.30 carbine in a pistol is kinda wild is it not?

[-]

Ornery_Secretary_850@reddit

Ruger has chambered a Blackhawk in .30 Carbine for years.

I really need to buy one, just because.

[-]

GumboDiplomacy@reddit

.30 carbine is in the same neighborhood as .357 magnum in energy and ballistics, on the lower end typically. But yes it's absurd just because of the length of the cartridge. I've got sizeable hands and I've held one of those .30 carbine handguns and it wasn't comfortable.

[-]

singlemale4cats@reddit

Seems like a waste. It's less powerful than hot .44 magnum loads even in a rifle.

[-]

Fit_Monitor1267@reddit

Put the colt in a dishwasher 🤣

[-]

BandGeek96@reddit

Really need a Time Machine to go back and buy at those prices.

BasedVal@reddit

“What’s the operation?”

“Mountainous terrain in an arid environment. You might even do some rappelling.”

“Better give me the semi auto HK94 then.”

Where do i find a space glock

10gaugetantrum@reddit

I enjoy vintage advertising. Thanks for sharing. Not gonna lie, you really got me with that one.

[-]

NoImag1nat1on@reddit

You lost me at the 1911 in the dishwasher - smells AI funny

[-]

NotADirtyRat@reddit

Sad, would see some of these donated to goodwill.. imagine important or valuable books and magazines thrown into donation boxes so big, that the books on top destroy and crush the books and magazines on bottom. And then they just get tossed in salvage if any bad wear or deformation of books.

[-]

ILikestoshare@reddit

Damn I need that black dong holster.

[-]

lukas_aa@reddit

I wonder if there‘s a fleshlight version too?

[-]

Competitive-Move-747@reddit

I too as many others wash their colt in the dishwasher every week😎🤘🏽. I thought This tradition was lost to the ages, glad to see it coming back around. Nothing like a jet-dry finish.

[-]

Real-Swimmer-579@reddit

I want a Beretta 93r so SO badly. Id buy one if I ever got the chance. I think the mechanism that works it is so cool too

[-]

singlemale4cats@reddit

I don't think there's any transferables. You would have to break into some government armory somewhere 😔

SampSimps@reddit

It kind of feeds into that whole line of attack from hopolophobes that we're all just small-dicked men with size envy.

[-]

smokeyser@reddit

That theory has been studied and disproven. It's actually the opposite, and men who are packing heat are more likely to be packing heat.

[-]

Total-Special5298@reddit

You are missing the classic HK pistol ad where the marketers loaded the rounds backwards in the mag…!

[-]

9EternalVoid99@reddit

Seeing an m93r on what appears to be an ad pains me to the core

[-]

cube1100@reddit

We can only dream…. 😭

Literally, I would be the first customer

[-]

Tiny-General-3700@reddit

I saw that .30 Carbine Automag on Demo Ranch, thing looks like it really fucks. He seemed to have a lot of fun shooting it.

[-]

Inevitable-Draw5063@reddit

I can’t believe I never knew there was a pistol in .30 carbine

[-]

cube1100@reddit

Dude that Beretta 12s is fucking sweet. Crazy I don’t think it’s ever been in a call of duty

[-]

get_down_to_it@reddit

The SPAS and the Uzi ads fuck hard

[-]

xTeamRwbyx@reddit

God, I wish I could get a Spas 12 cheapest on broker is 3500k going to 10k usd, and I'm broke

someday if I win the lotto ill buy one

[-]

KittehKittehKat@reddit

Tec 9 😭

Still want one of those POSs.

[-]

DNCOrGoFuckYourself@reddit

Automag III or a .44 Automag are grail guns.

I know they’re unreliable, but the cool factor? 👩‍🍳 💋

[-]

SconsinBrown@reddit

Once you go black…

[-]

psykotedy@reddit

Aside from an article about the French Foreign Legion I read about a billion times as a tween, these ads have summarized everything I remember from all of the Soldier of Fortune magazines I got my hands on.

[-]

2Drogdar2Furious@reddit

I'll take one of each!

[-]

jfoughe@reddit

The Uzi ad fucks

[-]

MalcolmSmith009@reddit

Smith and Wesson throwing shade at Ruger hahaha

[-]

Lupine_Ranger@reddit

If only they had the quality to back up their statement at the time lol.

Ruger's revolver lineup was phenomenal back then

[-]

CrypticQuery@reddit

They're making a valid criticism of the Ruger GP100 there IMO. The GP100 is thick as all hell and overbuilt, and the S&W 686 is noticeably more svelte by comparison. (Though, to be fair, I do prefer Ruger's previous Security/Service/Speed Six revolvers to the GP100 that replaced them.)

[-]

smokeyser@reddit

They're not overbuilt. Just built to last.

[-]

MalcolmSmith009@reddit

Yeah I want a speed six 357

[-]

Lupine_Ranger@reddit

I've got a Service Six 2.75" stainless. One of my favorite wheelguns.

That HK 94 special forces ad is etched in my brain from when I was a kid reading SOF magazine.

dooshlaroosh@reddit

Yep, that one & the dude in the swamp(?) carrying the HK 91.

[-]

Inner-Opposite-3492@reddit

I know exactly the one! Wow…memory unlocked!

[-]

link_dead@reddit

SPAS 12 please come back to us :(

[-]

ardesofmiche@reddit

The Uzi ad is wicked cool.

[-]

LiberalLamps@reddit

That’s my favorite too.

I’m also surprised Beretta advertised the 93R since they never sold any commercially.

[-]

Vaamp6969@reddit

My barber in SC is really old school and has so many gun magazines from the 90s to now. They had some awesome stuff in there.

[-]

BikerGremling@reddit

My vote goes to the UZI add. Best blend of 80s and cool.

[-]

kelevra423@reddit

I have a 22c 3rd gen she still shoots good 👍

[-]

nosce_te_ipsum@reddit

Seeing a Telex number in the Glock ad - and remembering working a Telex in my first job - definitely cemented the "vintage" aspect.

Nice finds!

[-]

BonjinTheMark@reddit

The guy with the Spas almost looks like Bronson.

[-]

nosce_te_ipsum@reddit

My first thought was one of the CIA guys sent to train the Sandinistas, given the era of the ad.

[-]

255001434@reddit

This just reminded me of how much I want a Beretta M12S.

[-]

specter800@reddit

Those Glock comp ads were all over gun stores when I started shooting and I wanted one so bad. Grabbed a 19C later on and love it to death. I won the Glock trigger lottery with it too because without any polishing it's the best Glock trigger I own that isn't a GPT.

[-]

Billy_Bob_Joe_Mcoy@reddit

Man I feel old now..

tykaboom@reddit

Should spam kimber with the stainless colt ad.

Really get their blood boiling.

Smith and wesson has the most stainless steel, in my honest opinion.
