This made me laugh

Remember, only Glocks in .40 explode. My STI purrs along just fine.

Gun or left testicle?

My wife keeps the testicles in her purse. Sometimes I get to use them but never get to choose whichone, right or left...

The Witness is a very nice gun, BUT, it is not a Bren Ten!

You're right, it's not a Bren Ten - it's actually available and folks have a chance of actually seing/handling/firing one in person

I have only had one opportunity to fire one (a couple of mags worth) and was underwhelmed. While the Witness is not a B10, it shares enough design similarities to make it about as close as we'll ever see unless someone with very deep pockets resurrects the original...

i can't believe this has been around for almost tow weeks and i just saw it..

too busy reassembling my exploded .40 I guess..

Too bad the Bren Ten was discontinued (or more like the company died or something).... It was an awesome pistol!

Not really, they were pretty disappointing- lots of QC issues, that was one of the reasons the company went bankrupt. The other reasons included no parts, (sometimes even with new in box guns) and virtually no warranty. Even Sonny Crockett dumped it. I saw one that had some ugly finish issues, and passed on it (it didn't have any mags new in the box either)

that is a funny stick figure drawing, still chuckling about it, so much said in so few words,
and it sure opens up the debate again

i wonder if there are similiar drawings with the old caveman paintings, going from bow and arrow to a spear, etc. alongside those primative beasts or bison

i think the debate on which tool is best, and the effective range, goes back to the dawn of time, and men gather over the campfire, he he

Personally I like 'em all! ...But I have to say I like my 10 best.

I just bought a 40, according to the picture, it doesn't even shoot, it just causes my gun to explode.

Seriously though... why does the .40 make the gun explode??

Answered my own question:

The .40 S&W has been noted in a number of cartridge case failures, particularly in Glock pistols due to the relatively large area of unsupported case head in those barrels, given its high working pressure[10]. The feed ramp on the Glock .40 S&W pistols are larger than normal, which leaves the rear bottom of the case unsupported, and it is in this unsupported area that the cases fail. Most, but not all, of the failures have occurred with reloaded or remanufactured ammunition. Cartridges loaded at or above the SAAMI pressure, or slightly oversized cases which fire slightly out of battery are often considered to be the cause of these failures. These failures are referred to by many as "kaBooms" or "kB!" for short. While these case failures do not often injure the person holding the pistol, the venting of high pressure gas tends to eject the magazine out of the magazine well in a spectacular fashion, and usually destroys the pistol. In some cases, the barrel will also fail, blowing the top of the chamber off.
