That grip is crazy looking. What is it made out of? How do you hold it?

It's called an orthopedic or Visconti grip and was apparently invented when one Signore Visconti lost two fingers in an accident and couldn't use a regular grip. It's made out of metal with a plastic insulation, and you hold it like this (mine's left-handed because I'm a weirdo):

Which two fingers did he lose? I'm looking at that photo and trying to imagine how many combinations of two missing fingers you could have while still maintaining a useful grip on that thing.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark
I bought a bunch of little metal parts and some bigger metal parts.



Combined with ~20 hours of machining and fine fitting it all came out to be a gun!



It was supposed to build a model train, must have followed the instructions wrong.

Just got a suppressor and a threaded barrel for my CZ SP01 Shadow. My bullets went from BOOM BOOM BOOM to thwap thwap thwap and it still recoils like a .22. Easily my favorite gun to shoot now.

Seems a hell of a lot like a cz75. How's it compare?

Isn't the running joke that everything is a gun, bike, or e-cig part in this thread? Doesn't seem too out of balance, to be honest.

Sort of. The running joke is that all unidentified objects are either gun parts, bike parts, or some smoking thing.

Bikes, bongs, and booms.

Not buying but I'm trying to sell by Mossberg 930. It's a great gun but I just don't shoot anymore and the chances of me killing myself fending off a home invader is about 100%.

Good choice, I can't actually speak on many of the specifics you bought but wet shaving is a huge improvement in general so have fun with that.
