Hello fellow rec.gun-ners, I'd like to speculate that perhaps the sideways handgun gangsta _style_ originated due to a weak mag spring.  If the gun is sideways, the poor old spring only has to push them rounds sideways and not up, up against the brutal force of gravity!  <wink Sightly more seriously, if you are shooting on of them kinda cheesey guns (tec?) with a ridiculously long mag, maybe the sideways stuff helps? I mean didn't one of them classic Brit subguns have a long sideways mag? (I am not implying this Brit gun is cheesey) Regards John BTW, accidently saw the beginning of VIP - one of them babes drills a just pitched _base_ball full of explosives with her BIG handgun.  Wow, I am in luv!   Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
