Tupperware Pistols Now…

 Every year I get ever more obsolete. I’m still trying to wrap my head around my Tupperware rifle… an “el cheapo” Ruger American 223 carbine that’s my funnest AND cheapest AND most accurate small bore rifle. I have a hundred cheap plastic P-Mags for it and I just have a hoot with it every time I take it out. It’ll go 0.8~1.2 MOA all day long and twice on Sundays. I only paid $800.00 and change for it. It’s an ugly beast to look at - but so am I and we just get along great.

So now… are they doing it with pistols too? If I had to use a pistol for serious social work my ride is the HK USP Tactical in .45 ACP. At 25 yards, if I eat my Wheaties and shove 4 good luck horse shoes up my butt…I could hold 2.5 ~ 3.5” groups slow fire offhand groups with it. It came with a proof target of 1.3” fired from the test fixture at the factory at 15m. It’s an accurate enough little gun. 

I bought it 20 years ago and paid about $1400.00 or thereabouts if I recall correctly. Welp…here we go again! Get a load of this:

Gaaaawwwwdayum…!!! That is one fugly gun!

But…it shoots like a champ!

For four or five hundred bucks!!! The only real gripe I have about these new breeds is that they have no soul. They’re plastic and metal machines made by other soulless machines. That’s a real detractor for an old world man like me. But…damn. Sub-2” groups…?  Nostalgia, romance and soul only goes so far.

Where do ya draw your line…? 🤨
