Just curious how it is from the 80's if it's in .40?

The .40 S&W cartridge debuted January 17, 1990 along with the new Smith & Wesson Model 4006 pistol, although it was several months before the pistols were available for purchase. Austrian manufacturer Glock beat Smith & Wesson to the dealer shelves in 1990, with pistols chambered in .40 S&W (the Glock 22 and 23) which were announced a week before the 4006.[6] Glock's rapid introduction was aided by its engineering of a pistol chambered in 10 mm Auto, the Glock 20, only a short time earlier. Since the .40 S&W uses the same bore diameter and case head as the 10 mm Auto, it was merely a matter of adapting the 10 mm design to the shorter 9x19mm frames. The new guns and ammo were an immediate success.[7][8]

Hey, I know John and I looked at the pistol this morning and suggested he put on here. It is off list and not available except as PPT. John is trying to be as honest as he can be so cut him some slack. He bought it to help a friend and now it is time for it to go. He is no gun expert. So far it sounds like thread bashing to me on somebody who did nothing to you.

Bump for a nice pistol.

So far it sounds like thread backing to me on somebody who did nothing to you.

What is thread backing?

[paul0660]

No thread jacking yet, just expert clarification. Nice pistol.

[big red]

when I type anything can come out, bashing becomes backing. Never trust a two finger typist. John felt like he did something wrong and I was the one who recommended he join and put the gun on here to give everyone a chance at it. If no one takes it then he and I will make a deal.

I was just heckling him.No offense buddy.I love it.Baby Eagles are pretty highly sought after.
