My AK-47 Review Part Two

First of all, I'm very proud of this gun. I feel like owning a piece of history, as the AK-47 is probably the most iconic firearm EVER in the history of the world. It is the most numerous, and most recognizable rifle in the world, and I got it in its original 7.62 x 39 mm caliber.

The trigger pull was surprisingly light, and smooth, not coarse at all. Pretty nice, actually, and totally opposite of what I was expecting. It does bother me that when you pull the trigger, there is a heavy chunk of metal that goes forward to hit the primer. I think this will have some effect on the gun's accuracy, especially at long range. As far as I know, the AK-47 is not supposed to use an open bolt principle, but it sure feels that way.

The gun does feel heavy, in fact, front heavy, but you can probably blame that on the light folding stock. I would imagine that the fixed stock version would probably feel more balanced.

My AK-47 Review Part One

Ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod ...

Those were the first thoughts that went thru my mind when I first saw the AK-47 that I bought at the store. It didn't feel as heavy then, credit that to the adrenaline coursing thru my veins because of the excitement. Anyway, checkout was a quick haze, and driving at around 100 mph I finally reached home to play with my new toy.

The unit came with a free nylon carrying case, labeled "Tactical Edge", which seems to be the brand for accessories for Twin Pines.



The bag has ample pockets for some magazines, and some documents, like the manual, license, etc. Very convenient storage for the unit.

My SIG P250 Review Part Two

Got to fire my SIG-P250 again recently, and just sharing some of the observations I found while shooting it. 

'Slide Locking Problem'
My first two shots went fine, but then after that, each and every shot started locking the slide back, so I had to release it using the slide release lever.  After about five shots of this happening, I switched magazines, thinking it was something wrong with the magazine.  But the same thing happened again with the other magazine, confirming that it was likely due to the gun itself.

Take note that this did not happen during my first shooting session a couple of months ago.  About the only difference in between shooting sessions, was the fact that I tried to clean the gun thoroughly after the first session.  I was then starting to suspect it was something to do with when I disassembled the gun.
