Makes perfect sense for a recoil-operated semiauto. Add enough mass to the slide to damp it and prevent it from cycling fully.

I'd be very curious to see how well this worked with a blowback pistol.

you just have to hold onto it harder, however youre better off sticking your thumb in the way of that hammer on double-actions like the 1911.

1911 is SA.

Another technique is to push the slide out of battery. Most modern pistols will not fire out of battery.

Way Back, when I was in Basic Training we were taught to grab the strong hand and push on the muzzle to push the pistol out of battery before the first shot. Your timing had to be good or you lost part of your hand.


Edit: Beat me to it!

I had to break out the cell and snap a pic on the way to work this morning





Shortly after I pulled up next to the guy, got his attention and then began to point and laugh.

Did the palm trees or the truck with a 1992 civic spoiler give it away?

I lived in Florida for 15 years. You can sense when Florida Man is near.

12hr layover on my way to Djubouti... this is me 20 minutes ago. Now I'm having a chocolate/banana Crepe and double Jack&Coke for lunch. And no, that's not the one on Vegas.

There is a lot of Florida man out on the road today.

Be me.
Driving to work in the pouring rain, trying to pass a slow crown victoria before exiting.
Cant get passed because of even slower car in middle lane. Get back behind crown vic.
Crown vic slows to 20 mph through on-ramp. Im tailgating to express my displeasure.
Finally starts accelerating. Im at 1/4 throttle. Shift into 5th gear.
Crown vic continues to accelerate. He is in it to win it.
Im at 1/2 throttle, still tailgating. Now going 90 mph.
Go to 15/16 throttle, and pass with my mighty 5 liter. He looks mad as I drive by.
Lots of traffic ahead. Realize I am being infantile.
Keep driving way too fast, dodging through traffic so I dont have to face crown vic driver.

Not sure which of us is Florida man.

I'm reminded of Florida every time I see a Crown Vic on the road.

Which is several times per minute when I'm anywhere outside.

Speaking of Florida. Driving home from work today up 75 i watched the Florida plated Honda Odyssey in front of me bolt across 2 lanes, down the grass through the ditch and up the other side onto 275. Apparently he missed his exit by about a half mile and decided he could make it. Which he did.

redit/floridaman is pretty funny, thanks again mt.net, even though you are a bunch of bitches now.

Man accused of pouring hot sauce on puppy gets year in jail | HeraldTribune.com

lol "The previous owner took the puppy, which was having trouble breathing and had its eyes swollen shut, to a nearby fire station.

The hot sauce was washed off of the puppy and it was treated for neurological problems."

Seriously, everyone with a small dog should just take it to a fire station, they all have neurological problems!

And here I've given my cat bits of shrimp with Thai hot peppers just to see him jump and drool. First time I ever saw him jump ***-first. He kept coming back for more shrimp though.
