You can always tell a Hi-Point because their guns all look less like actual guns than they do guns from video games circa the years 1997 to 2003.

grellgraxer posted:Any ideas on this 9mm? The 9mm mags with extended baseplates have metal followers with a black finish. The 45 caliber guns have an orange follower without the ski ramp. Green followers with a ramp are for 40 S&W. That's a JCP, their .40 handgun. The mag holds ten rounds and is, obviously, under-loaded as is common among the lockup regular crowd. That gun is larger and heavier than a Beretta 92, by the way. Ygolonac posted:
Banded grips, particularly banded thick and high, are an old universal handgun gun thing even among cops and concealed carry permit holders before good holsters became ubiquitous and affordable. They help keep a gun tucked in your waistband from slipping.

Two-screw grips, if it's a Zastava it's one that someone took the time to tap new holes for. A lot of their stuff still uses escutcheons including the M70 which is the bane of my existence trying to find cool grips for my poo poo. Also visibly different safety, non-Tokarev hammer, different magazine release and slide stop. I wanna say Star Model BM with an older mag.

It would be cool as hell if there was some way to track that all that mismatched ammo before the cops got hold of it. I know it's all stolen to begin with but it comes in such odd groups it must have been stolen, sold, bartered, stolen again, etc for quite a while before it ended up in whatever dude's pocket on the day he got arrested.

Not Baltimore (my old hometown) but I had the PA State Police call the shop I was working at and ask me to help identify the serial number on a S&W revolver. I helped them out over the phone, telling them which was the model number and which was the serial.

I have had several novice people I have taken shooting fire multiple rounds of 9mm out of my .40 usp compact A 9mm cartridge can slip past the extractor and lodge in the barrel. If someone assumes a failure to feed and chambers another round, things can get real interesting real fast.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:i have questions about the one spent cartridge I figure dude probably fired the pistol once, and the spent cartridge became jammed. At that point, having no gun repair skills, dude just used it as an object for brandishing. Once cops got a hold of the pistol, they were able to break it down and remove jammed brass.

I can actually play along at home with this one. Much like EAA, FIE was an importer of all kinds of cheap saturday night special guns back in the 1960s-1990 when they went out of business. They would take whatever they could get cheap, brand it with nifty names like Titan, Tiger, Texan, Titanic, The Best, Musketeer, and Guardian. Many of the guns were Rohm, Eig and Arminius level crap guns. Occasionally you would get a decent gun from a smaller brand who needed the capital to grow. In this case the Titan was actually a .25 acp Tanfoglio pistol called the GT 27. Originally these guns were solid steel framed but when the GCA of 1968 tried to ban saturday night specials the importers started to make the frames in the US out of aluminum and Zamac. Further the FIE ones were supposedly entirely made out of Zamac and can break slides if fired often. I have an Excam production frame version my brother gave me. He got it from a dude who must have kept it in a tacklebox or a trunk as it was all rusty and the aluminum frame had turned a mottled poo poo brown like the one above. I buffed the aluminum back to a mirror finish and keep forgetting about it when I have another gun going but I will reblue it someday.   Here is a site with more in depth info. http://www.guns.com/review/gt-27-tanfoglio-pistol/ It should also be noted that FIE also imported other decent Tanfoglio guns like the TZ-75 which is a CZ75 clone which later was imported by Excam after FIE went out of business in 1990, which was later updated and is now imported by EAA as the Witness. If I had to guess most of those old saturday night special importers were in someway related like the Ring of Fire manufacturers were.

The gun on the right is a toy, the old revolver is probably as old as WWI because people stopped making break-tops a long time ago, and the other revolver looks like an H&R 732, produced between '57 and '86.

Looking at this closer on a larger screen instead of my phone it's most likely an IverJohnson .32 top break. Most likely dates from 1900-1941. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/8657828
