Cool Gun

S&W 645


Great gun and would be one of my 1st choices for a pistol whipping gun. You would see teeth and eyeballs on the ground with a few whips.

    Our local Sherriff's Department carried those about 25 years ago......pretty heavy but decent shooters. I tried to buy one when they switched back to a 9mm model...but they sold all of them before I got a shot at one...

    My neighbor has a S&W 645. I've fired it and find it to be a handful. I much prefer my .45 P-220!

    Believe it or not, those are the pistols that first got me interested in semi-auto pistols.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    He does have some nice stuff, it's selling well/high. The market is good if you're selling.

  • Sam06Sam06 Member Posts: 21,244 ✭✭✭✭

    It is a sellers market.


    I really like the Galil, they are my favorite AK variant and believe it or not you find a lot of them in Africa. I am talking Galil's not R-4 and 5's from South Africa(You find a lot of them too).


    The Berreta ARX 100 is neat too. You don't see them all that often.

    I get to see one every day 😉 Seriously, the ARX is a great rifle and is vastly under appreciated:


  • Sam06Sam06 Member Posts: 21,244 ✭✭✭✭

    They are Mark. I shot a few 1000 rounds from one.


    Is yours full auto? The one I shot was an ARX 160 which is the Italian Military version and is select fire. I was in Croatia training some of their Special Police units in CQB at the Gasinci military training grounds and they had a bunch of different weapons. It was a fun mission and I put a lot of rounds down range.


    My last job in Kenya I talked to some of their procurement guys and they were looking really hard at the ARX 200 in 7.62 to replace their G3's(which I detest).

    The H&K G36K is another really fun gun that I put a lot of rounds through in Croatia.

    No, it's not full auto; it's a SBR semi which I normally run suppressed. It will handle a variety of suppressors, but oddly enough the shortest in the group actually works the best!

    The ARX really is a great rifle. It's a shame that it didn't attract much attention here in the USA.

  • Sam06Sam06 Member Posts: 21,244 ✭✭✭✭

    Mark did you know it was designed by a German who worked for Steyr I believe.


    Running a suppressed gun is a quite a chore sometimes. Too much and they don't work too little and its not worth it or you get gas in your face especially with a oprod gun like a M21. We ran suppressed M4's with Knight Cans and 11.5" barrels. The Suppressor for the SR-25 was a Knight product and was really nice. Surefire makes a good can too.
