How to improve the Manix 2

[Liquid Cobra]

Yeah Glocks sure fell by the wayside...

There are a lot of good destruction test of the cheap plastic glock but this one is my favorite. This guy is suicidal even trying this but he is also my hero for being brave enough to try this. Glock for the win! Polymers have come a long way, that's a fact.

That was great Darby, I'd love to have a little set up like that or at least be standing next to him catching all that brass in a 5gal bucket for reloading :D

Check out his other videos. He loves to torture test firearms. :D

I'm surprised that Sal hasn't dabbled in making his own handgun.

Maybe a 1911 with a 3'' barrel or perhaps something else entirely?

Anyways... I have updated my first post with some new inclusions.

I was wondering the same thing Mikael. A 1911 with a 3" barrel would fill a huge gap in the market! Can you imagine one with a pearl handle?
I think Mr Glesser is an ingenious and innovative man and I've actually heard a rumour that he has been working on a handgun for a while now. I don't know if it's a 1911, it may be a revolver, but they reckon he's working on a sprung loaded folding barrel or a retractable barrel, something like that, but I'm not sure mate. Sounds good though. What calibers do you like?

I really like 45 ACP... good stopping power with low recoil.

And if he isn't going to make a handgun then he could always move into making scalpels with a small hole in the blade for the medical industry.

The 3" 1911 in .45....ah yes, the epitome of reliable carry guns. :rolleyes:

[palonej]

I know how we can improve it, and I'm sure our 'friend' or troll, you decide, will love it!!
Put a pink blade in that bad boy!!
Keep it up with your CQI Mr Andersssson!! Your suggestions are priceless!
Ugh

It's a concealed carry gun and it could also be in 40 S&W and whats unreliable about that?

Apparently you're not well versed in pistols. 1911s are more particular than some other pistols, and the best way to make sure they're even more particular is to shorten the barrel and slide length. Commander length and 4" pistols do better, but Officer length are much worse, with 3" models being even worse. Not only can there be timing issues, the shorter guns are also extremely hard on springs, notably the recoil spring. That's all assuming the gun even functions reliably, which many do not. Multiple reputable firearm instructors specifically recommend against the short 1911s.

Perhaps you should fight against your dumb firearm laws.

Good post!

I carry a Dan Wesson CCO, Commander 4.25 inch slide on lighter weight Officer's alloy frame. The same weight when loaded as my other carry pistol, Glock 19, 16 rounds of 9mm vs eight rounds of .45ACP in the CCO. For me, two perfect carry pistols.

Reliability in a carry pistol... #1 attribute!

I would never carry a 1911 pistol .45ACP in anything shorter than 4.25 inches. Yes, a 4.00 length with bull barrel works well for many designs. And yes, there are exceptions for 1911's in .45ACP that work in 3.50 length but for me and many others, the 3.50 length and definitely the 3.00 inch length in 1911 .45ACP... is pushing the edges of reliability. Pistols can be fine tuned at the latter lengths but I will never venture to that realm.

1911 Commander .45ACP's and Spyderco Manix 2 CF S90V's go well together! Heck, my EDC PM2 S30V goes well with my pistols. All fully legal in Colorado.

So do you own a 3" 1911? Have you ever shot one? How about put it through a rigorous 500-1000 round shooting class? Carried one? Why even be concerned about such matters, since it's illegal to carry a pistol in your country?

I own several 1911s, have shot them in classes, have taken a multitude of training courses, run a training group, shoot the occasional competitive pistol match, and own a firearms-related business. When you can offer something other than somebody else's YouTube video, I'll listen.

[Bloke]

Mikael, you're an endless source of entertainment, no doubt, but you're a dunce! Put on your cap and go stand in the corner!

I'm new here, but visited regularly before I joined! Mr Glesser, Spyderco and the good members here offer a unique sanctuary for people who have a genuine interest in what's on offer and like myself would like to learn more! Something I'm most grateful for! I'm still fumbling my way around and sincerely hope I haven't done myself a disservice by provoking and encouraging your extraordinary follies!

From what I've seen you are treated well and members actually take the time to converse with you!

Where you find the audacity to suggest a fellow member is "Talking out of his ***" beggar's belief! I would suggest you get to work and draft an appropriate apology!

One last thing, ole mate! I've learned in my time that, "ideas" are a lot like ugly children and in most cases your best off keeping them to yourself!

Anyhow, think about it!

It is?

Well then all those guns that I currently own must be illegal.

[Trevitrace]

Is that a "no" to studey's questions?

[Mikael Andersson]

There are no unreliability issues with 3'' 1911's and anyone who says otherwise is a dumbass and yes we are allowed to own handguns in Sweden... we just can't carry them around town.

[Studey]

...since it's illegal to carry a pistol in your country?

Might want to read more carefully.


Regarding your other comments, since the reliability issues with 3" 1911s are well documented, I'll stand by what I said earlier:

Beyond that, I'll bow out and stop feeding the troll. The Manix 2 seems to be working just fine as is. Are we any closer to banning this guy yet?

[Bloke]

Hi Studey,

This kook can't be dealing from the full deck?
