Good info.

Remember the old advertising slogan, "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen"? In the firearm industry, when SAAMI talks, we listen. The Sporting Arms & Manuf...

I got this from another page but couldn’t share it so I just pasted it here. Hope this clears things up for everyone...

So G***k just announced their new G***k 44, chambered in 22 rimfire. I figured now would be a good time to explain G***k and their models....

The G***k 44 is in 22. The G***k 22 is in 40. The G***k 40 is in 10 like the 20. There is no G***k 10, but there is a G***k in 9 aka the 17 and 19 and 26 and 43, not including the 48 - which came out before the 44 - and the 43X, which are the same except for the ways in which they’re different. Actually they’re like the 45, which is a 9, which is the same as a 19x which is actually more like the 17 than the 19. Strangely enough the 45 came before the 44, but 45 came before 9, but not 44, so maybe that’s the logic. If you wanted a 45, you need a 36, a 41, a 30, a 21, or a 21SF, or a 30S, or a 30SF. Of course if you want G***k’s 45 you need a 37, 38 or 39. The 38 isn’t a 38, there are other 38’s. If you want a G***k, definitely get the 19 and maybe a 22 to practice with - not the 40 22, but the 44 22. The 22 won’t help you to practice with your 9 as much as a 23, which is closer to the 19. Unless your goal is competition, in which case you should have been considering a 35 or 17L or 24 or 41 or 34 which are 40 9 40 45 9 respectively. The 31 32 and 33 are actually 357’s but not the 38 357’s. They’re 357’s that are more like 9s but not like the 380 is like 9’s. If you wanted that you need a 42. And nobody likes a 42, you’re better off with a 9. And therefore try a 44 because everyone loves to work on their 9 with a 22.

Edit: G***k if you read this I want a 44 but not a 22, that is I don’t want a 22 at all but I want a 44 because I’m already into the 22 and I’d prefer a 44 to a 22. Also please make a 50 that is a 17 22 or a 22 22 and make a 49 that is a 50. Thank you.

I was just ordering gun parts online, and found out that the company that handles the vendors online sales just dropped them because they sell gun parts. So, I had to call in the order instead. This company primarily handles parts for vintage fi****ms.
They will never stop trying to find a way to take your guns.
