There's a lot to hate about the Democratic Party establishment, but among the most libidinal is their desperate desire to win over people who will always hate them.

I'm not a gunfucker, but I really want to know the rationale behind carrying a 10mm and a 9mm. Like, a large-caliber handgun and a .380 backup, that makes some sense to me.

I didn't realize the 29 was 10mm Auto. Yeah, that's a big gently caress-off cartridge. I don't believe for a minute he can shoot it accurately.

Given what we know about the Boys, Idunno if it's going to be human poop, cat poop, dog poop, or if they just send Virgil on a geas to walk the streets of NYC until he finds some random poop to touch.

This whole thing was terrible electoral strategy for Virgil. It's win/win for Matt: either we don't live in geohell, or he doesn't have to touch the poop because geohell.

Yeah didn't the FBI try them out after the Miami shootout and find that their agents were usually too limp-wristed to fire them reliably?

They did 10mm Auto for awhile, and found that there was too much recoil and the grips were too fat for most people. (Incidentally, it seems every gun reviewer humblebrags that they have big hands.) So they switched to the compact .40 S&W.

But they recently switched back to 9mm because most agents shot better with a 9mm than with the .40 S&W, even if they weren't bad with the latter. Long story short, shot placement matters much more than caliber, and innovations in ammo in the past decade have made smaller calibers much more dangerous anyway.

Long story short, CCing 10mm is incredibly dumb so of course G.O.R.K.A. does it

Between the horrible audio quality of Gorka and the impenetrable (to me at least) Middle East talk, this episode was a real dud. Hopefully the Justice League episode makes up for it.

Also I really liked the Will, Matt, and Amber dynamic.

Did anyone see the preview for that Gerard Butler cop movie. He looks like the ultimate divorced dad in that one.

Somebody on reddit broke it down:

quote:

Two pistols makes sense under certain circumstances. I've carried a backup gun (BUG) from time to time, but it's just extra work. The thing about a BUG though, is it's supposed to for
times when:

-your primary is down
-you're injured and the primary is difficult to work
-on the off-chance you need to hand off a working gun to someone on your team.

GOOORKA's setup is dumb because it doesn't address any of those.
In bullet points 1 & 3 you want ammo/magazine compatibility, which this does NOT loving have.
For bullet point two, if he's wounded and has to worry about working one-handed, his backup is now a larger caliber with less ammo but more recoil/flash that's difficult to control with one hand.
I won't even get into the 9mm being a fullsize with a Robar grip chop, RDS and what appears to be a suppressor-ready barrel...
This is the EDC setup of someone who reads John Ringo books, Recoil magazine and says poo poo like "Well, a 9mm might kill the body, but 10mm kills the soul".
Fuckin' Gorka's a gear queer (which I probably should have guessed from his V6 mustang base model with drop top).

but all things being equal, the 9mm would still make more sense

the 9mm was only initially replaced with the 10mm because of one shootout in florida where the FBI completely botched an arrest. It was a series of fuckups and wild flukes that led to the conclusion "we need a massively more powerful round for the next time we step on our own dicks like this"

The two things that always stuck out in my mind were a) the agent drawing his gun and laying it on the seat so that he could immediately lose it in a collision, and b) the other agent not being able to reload his revolver because of blood in the chambers.
