Good thing those 1911s never break.

well, i guess you could say better the gun snapping in half then him getting a 1911 grip lodged in his thigh...

Or from a different calguns thread having this piece of metal get lodged where the sun don't shine. Sometimes it is better for things to give.

Seriously though, go bash at the 1911 forum

BROKE ALRIGHT

Yikes! I'm sure that gun absorbed a lot of force to break like that. HK builds a fine polymer weapon. I'm sure any plastic gun would have exhibited the same damage under the same circumstance.

Damnit... I'm gonna throw my P2000 in the trash. And it'll probably break in half.

[Fishslayer]

At least the rounds appear to have been loaded into the magazine correctly...

Wow that is pretty bad!

[pyro3k2]

Ouch! he fell off an ATV and landed on his pistol hard enough to break it. That must have left a nasty mark.

[Arkangel]

So don't fall of my ATV if I plan on carrying my Asp behind my P2000.

Got it.

Yep.



And ignore the last-century ammunition capacity and un-ergronomic safety design.

Ha, like 1911's are the paragon of steel handgun design.
