So a co-worker ask me "will you clean my glock"?

[Links2k]

The guy never spoke about being a gun owner, so I was excited to help. He tells me that it is a glock 9mm and describes it. I think cool g17. No problem. Easy pistol to strip and clean. He shows up after work looking like secret squirrel hiding national security documents. He drops it in my trunk, we chat for a minute and he leaves. I open the the plastic Kroger bag to find a Maverick Firearms 9mm.

I had never heard of this gun and had to google/bing to find it. I finally found a brief decription of how to take it apart (requires a hammer and punch), but I am not going to touch it. I don't want to pay him the $50 to replace it if it breaks. I locked the slide back and it looks to have dried pancake batter stuck to it. WTF?

When I return it to him I am going to make sure that he understands that just because a gun is big and black it is not a Glock.

I know that type of person exactly. I know of one in particular right now that keeps talking about buying him a Glock, and he saw the perfect one for him and wants to save up the money to et it. It's a really nice Glock with pearl grips on it..............Heck, I'd like to see it too..

[Links2k]

HA! You made me laugh so hard that I choked. That was too funny.

[Oh Shoot]

Good one.

I'd just recommend that he soak the thing in kerosene for a while and reach what he can with cloth/q-tips, swab out barrel, and oil it here and there.

I was gonna recommend WD-40 and a toothbrush.

[Links2k]

That's what I was thinking.

Uh, DUH! It's an AK47. Sheesh.

Found on an auction, identified as a Maverick Arms JS 9mm.

As I found out, this was one of several models/gun company names that eventually became Hi-Point.

The company started out as Haskel then went to Maverick then Stallard then Hi-Point.

Apparently, they were all really poor until the Hi-Point era. (no cracks please).

That look like it, Links2K?

Well, it IS ugly enough to pass for a Glock.

[SonnyCrockett]

^^^^ Holy Canolli,now thats a work of art.......

[Ebow1]

Where's that ugliest gun thread now that we've got a clear winner?

[I_Like_Pie]

It looks like a fancy birthday cake that my wife could make....not an actual firearm.

HEY, my glock resembles that remark!

[Guest SUNTZU]

How well does it make toast?

[Guest The Highlander]

Oh that is just so wrong

[bubbadavis]

This reminds me of the guys you (too often) see at a gun show telling their fiends about the "Smith and Western" they have at home.

it is probably really simple to take apart. I doubt Hi Point changed anything in that regard.

I wonder if it works?

[Guest m&pc9]

That is like calling a Mercedes a KIA. He didn't want to show off with a good gun like the Maverick, so he said it was a Glock.

That maverick probably wont shoot you in the a$s.

[ShamGlock]

That is the the single ugliest gun I have ever seen. It is the Hairless Chinese Crested Dog of guns.

[A.J. Holst]

When I first saw the pics, I said, "that looks like a Hi-Point ejection port."

Not sure about past performance, but HP is putting out a pretty decent product at a great price point with an outstanding warranty.

[Guest Plainsman]

Wow. Looks like it got sprayed with bedliner at the local Line X dealer.

[laktrash]

One of the guys I use to work with said he had a smith & wesson sig. He also swore he had a live hand grenade. He took alot of ribbin' but wouldn't come clean with the truth.

I agreed to clean a pair of Matching deuce-deuces for a female friend of mine last Saturday. She had slasked about trading the two of them for a real pistol and I told her no problem, Everyone I know loves rimfire pistols. So she shows up at the hacienda with a pair of Lorcin 380Ls. Ignorance is not bliss, just stupid.
