While AK fans brag AK with its simple, reliable design that doesnt need any attachment. This is why AK fans are hating on AK that is heavily accessorized, or as we put it"gucci-fied" , because their argument is "dont make an AK an M4" and on the other side of the line, AR15 fans are hating on heavily accessorized AK because their argument is "why would you modify AK like that if you like the design? you rather have an AR15" this is not everyone, just the fanatic ones.

So much fail here... All that machining and engineering to create a mad chimera. Now I don't have to like the product to see that a lot of effort and skill went into making that gun. But my mind boggles when I see they then put what looks like a bargain basement extremely cheap and nasty tubular lock in the but of the pistol grip. What were they thinking? I mean they have to have put some thought into the aesthetics of the gun. They put a useless beaver tail on it just to make it look more like a 1911, and then they thought it was a great idea to install a chromed tubular lock that looks like it was ripped from an office desk drawer on it? For the moment let's just ignore that the idea of putting a lock on a gun is something very few people think is a good idea in the first place. How'd that go? OK, so it's hard to imagine, but just bear with it for a few seconds. Now imagine you are sitting in a meeting discussing the safety features of the gun and are talking about the lock. Now remember that you are trying to design a premium gun that will sell at a premium price to a select few who has the money and are interested in getting a gun with the grip and trigger action of a 1911 and the slide and hopefully reliability of a Glock. Now wouldn't it have made sense to use a lock that doesn't scream "office supplies"?

Remember this was 1995 when 1911 and HK USP ruled. These were well made, featured a nice linear 1911 style 5-7 pound trigger, but a failure. It's great they made it to production, but it never caught on with the public or law enforcement community. Thank you for the video. Brings back memories I was blessed growing up in such a innovative area. Seattle is home to Detonics, Rainier Arms, AeroPrecisionusa.com, Zev, Mega, Oly Arms, AeroTec, Fortis, and many more.

Actually steel is stronger than titanium. The thing with titanium is that its very light for its strength and very resistant to erosion. Also its heat resistant and doesnt conduct electicity. Edit: the electricity thing is wrong also its only the modulus of elasticity that´s higher with steel.

@ScottKenny19783 жыл бұрын
Nah, the Hudson was much better executed. The only part of the Hudson that feels weird is the trigger because it's hinged at the bottom, and that's just "weird" not bad. Otherwise, grip feels good, trigger *pull* is good, muzzle doesn't flip much, etc. Where Hudson screwed up was announcing the aluminum frame before their steel frames were selling enough to pay the bills. I was going to buy a Hudson but decided to wait until the aluminum frame was out because I don't want a third all steel pistol.

7:51 As far as a titanium slide is concerned, you could maybe achieve similar delay to a steel slide by redesigning the short-recoil system so that the barrel and slide travel backwards together for a longer distance, but that seems like it would take a lot of redesign for other components, especially the frame, and you might see accuracy and reliability suffer as a result. It would also lead to some issues (assuming that the barrel is steel) with the area of the slide where it contacts the barrel at the front of the ejection port would wear out a lot more quickly. surface hardness is generally not titanium's strong suit. You would have to either carbidize that region or insert a steel bearing surface, which both add cost. Also, not to be pedantic, but titanium alloys tend to be weaker than high-strength steels in an absolute sense, using the typical convention of load/area to define stress, but they do usually have higher strength to mass ratios. I can't think of much benefit to a titanium slide other than reduced overall weight, but that would be much better achieved by using a polymer frame. I'd expect higher felt recoil from the lower mass, and probably a much higher unit cost since titanium alloys are such a pain to machine.

I'm pretty sure a gen 1, 2, or 3 Glock upper would fit and function on this frame. Though the Spectre uses different mags so maybe the feed ramp on the barrel could be different or the breech face where it pushes a round out of the magazine. But a Glock 19/23 upper would never work on it.

There is a subset of the aerospace industry that would be familiar with rugged, rough-tolerance engineering - the designers of STOL and bush planes would have similar considerations. It is a niche segment these days, but the An-2, and the DeHavilland Canada STOL planes (Beaver, Otter, Caribou, Buffalo, etc.) did have to be sturdy and reliable enough to operate in the remote north with 1950's engineering while allowing for some degree of field-expedient repair in the taiga or tundra.

I think there's a brilliant design in that. I think the grip isn't one of them, but that little notch, that feedback to say 'the trigger is right behind this mark', is brilliant. It's simple, it's minor, it's just a bit of material, but the information it can give a shooter, that is hard to put a value on. Plus, dare I say it, might even help in stressful situations, under the clock. A simple touch and you just 'know'.
