YAGT Norinco 1911 vs Colt 1911

[corwin]

I have no words for the idiocy that is the UK...especially that the prices are basically the same as a fully functioning firearm

It's even worse that someone would want to own a deactivated pistol. You would think that someone that abhors guns would want to spend money(even though he's struggling with money) and worry about needing to replace parts on a deactivated pistol. You can't make this shit up.

 

[Brigandier]

If you buy a deactivated pistol, aren't you still supporting arms manufacturers?

At least those prices are in line with them not being real...but I still seriously don't get the point of them

Yup - I don't see the point in buying a real weapon, only to deactivate it. May as well just buy a decent replica.

If you can't have a working gun why do you care who makes it?save yourself a lot of money and go to toys-r-us

I have no nephew but yeah both of those, it's just a toy / ornament for me.

I own blunt samurai swords which I never plan on attacking anyone with and a light sabre, this will sit with them nicely

Fits this thread so well. [yes I know you're talking about a real sword not a lightsaber]

Get the Colt. It'll be easier to re-sell later.

Get the Mustang, it will look cool sitting in your driveway and you'll be the envy of the neighborhood And who cares about tires, you need a kick ass custom paint job for it and some nice tint on the windows, can't be seen sitting in anything less

There have been some seriously stupid gun threads here, but this one takes the cake.

It's really hard to own traditional handguns in the UK. There are some goofy revolvers with long ass barrels and a kind of hand strap lanyard that as I understand it makes it a rifle under UK law.

The fact is even if he wanted a pistol it would be a big ordeal.

This has to be a troll....

I did lol.

It's probably illegal in the UK to even throw the deactivated gun at the burglar walking out with your iPad, lest you injure him, and if you do injure him, he'll successfully sue you.

Deactivating a Colt 1911 is a crime, so buy the deactivated Chinese crap...

I would hate to think someone deactivated a Colt for you...

Both the guns I'm looking at have been deactivated already.

Just for you:

The breechface is cut off at an angle, and the tip of the firing pin is removed, in addition a slot is cut along the length of the slide from the breechface. Not all deactivated pistols are deactivated the exact same way although this gives a general idea. Newly deactivated pistols also have the "action surface" milled off, in the case of the above pistol this would be done by cutting off the forward edge of the chamber and the edge the chamber locks into in the slide.

Those are illegal in the UK.

Good point, hadn't considered that.

As for all the trolls in this thread, move on people I'm not biting, I just wanted some serious advice from people who know this stuff.

 

[JulesMaximus]

What the hell difference does it make which one you get if it's deactivated? Get the prettiest one I guess...

A HAL9000 gun thread? No way.

You missed a great car analogy in one of the flu vaccine threads too.

Well given that it's a lot of money I'd rather it didn't feel cheap and tacky, also I'd like to be able to "upgrade" bits if I feel the urge...

From the people who know this stuff: you're spending way too much money on something that doesn't work. You'd get similar answers if you wanted to get a GTX 590 without a working core. Serious advice: buy anything else.

I knew UK had schizophrenic gun rules but the concept of paying full retail for a non-working gun..."inane" doesn't even begin to capture it.

That I already know.

What's stupid is a dude who is concerned that the build quality of his non-functioning firearm might affect its ability to do nothing.

Definitely this...it's not so much trolling as making humor of the absolute stupidity of it

And of course this too...

B/c that's what trolls do.
