Grendel P10 and its Stripper Clips at the BUG Match (Ad-free)

The best firearms reference books: https://www.headstamppublishing.com The Grendel P10 is a .380 ACP pistol designed to use 10-round stripper clips in a fixed magazine. Specifically, it used M16 clips - the case head of .380 is nearly identical to that of 5.56mm, and so the clips can be interchanged. Neat! The downside is that the Grendel has a terrible trigger, pretty bad sights, and a reputation for malfunctioning. A lot. So, what could go wrong? Sounds like a perfect gun for the BUG Match! http://www.patreon.com/ForgottenWeapons http://www.floatplane.com/channel/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com

Most unique Forgotten Weapons summary ever: "not very good but is pretty cool"

Ha! finally. wondered since yeeears when you'd get to that onehit wonder. I would call that a backup more than everything. don't know if they sell those stateside. geco 223 comes on plastic clips. I doubt that would fit the guide ok but.... those let go the ammo easier than the m16 ones. have you done a review of that one?

I wonder if the KelTec version is any better . . .

Carried one of those as a backup when I was a police officer during the mid or late 80s. They are terrible guns by modern standards, but a 10 shot .380 that you could cover with one hand was hot shit for the 80s. I modified a holster and carried it secured to the straps of my vest. Never pulled it once, but it was nice to know it was there. I stopped carrying it when my department converted to semi autos in the 90s.

Pro-tip: 1st run a 40 Short & Weak case through your Mil-Spec 5.56mm stripper clips and then load as is your want with .223/5.56 or 380ACP cartridges! Now enjoy the smooth as warm butter stripping of them boolets into the bang'stick of your hopes and dreams!

The thought of a stripper clip fed gun that needs a loading tool... Dear god....
