    M40-11 Chaos

    Anyone seen one of these in the flesh?
    Nz made and although info is limited they seem to rate highly from what I have heard.

    Having the deal for an STI fall thru at the last minute I am still on the hunt for a high end standard gun and one of these was mentioned by a few people.

    I am seriously considering buying one as one is available now.
    But also keen to hear any reports from members that may have one or had a good look at one.


    On a side note. If anyone is interested in a Para 16-40 limited I will be posting a bloody good Canadian made one in the buy sell section pretty cheap.

    Pm me if you wanna yarn. There is a (more expensive) island barrel (sight tracker) barrel model in 40 that also shows in stock but pretty confident the photos shown of mine were the only one that they made ??

    Oh well, not much point in asking what they are like anymore as I just bought one.😆


    First impressions are really, really good.

    Nice lines, points and feels good in the hand.
    Simple to strip and clean.

    The grip is amazing and suits my small hand.
    Mag release is a bit gay and plastic but I will replace it, in time.

    Best of all it shoots and shoots bloody well with my loads.
    No malfunctions at all in the first 100 rnds.

    The first 3 rounds ever fired out of it at 25 m.


    I found it easy to get my grip right from the holster allowing some not well aimed shots to still smack the A zone. (Looking at target not the foresight)

    Noticably smoother mag changes over my other pistols.

    Full mag of double tap shot at 10m fast as I can, from the holster.
    I have never managed to copy this with my other guns unless being more deliberate.

    GBC are all NZ made guns and parts? Are the parts quality? Just got me a 1911 and looking for parts - don't know much about 1911 yet, steep learning curve
    Being over gunned is under rated.

    The slide is NZ made. Other parts are made under licence for GBC I believe. @40bung knows a bit more on that as well as the quality. Mostly STI or SPS I believe.

    The frame is sourced as a blank then machined in NZ. My frame says made in Spain on the underside forward of the trigger.

    I have put over 500 rnds thru it since I have got it and it has not missed a beat. Eats cast or jacketed bullets.
    No fouling at all with cast bullets.
    Only one stoppage so far that was my fault. No primer😆

    Only thing I have done to it is smooth an edge on the trigger guard where my holster catches it.

    Off to shoot it now on some build drills. Really, really happy with it.

    You just wanna have a play.😆

    I have a medical to do in CHCH. If I can arrange it for Monday I will come along for a shot.
    Was supposed to go today with the cook but as soon as she mentioned shopping I jumped in the truck and took off😆

    Had a wee play today.

    Did 10 single round draws, 12 double taps (They went really well) and finished off with a 6 rnd speed drill Doug Koenig recommends. He says 2 secs or under is what to aim for. Today was my first attempt at it. Vid is of my first ever go. I had a couple more whacks at it but was .2-.3 of a second slower and nowhere near as tight Still landed 18 rounds on target tho.

    Rather than take it with you on Monday I could look after it at the range while you did the medical & tried to control the cook's spending.
    Looks like a nice toy but really needs a dot!

    I dont agree with adding a dot, but after you look after it for the day, i could look after it once @R93 sees the cc bill, or goes o/s for a while. Good storage conditions down here, less humid than the coast, and i wont/cant shoot it as i now only have 5 fingers on each hand - honest

    Nice looking bit of kit. And if it shoots nicer and betttererrrr than your last 40, your onto a real winner, as your last one shoots well.
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    I wouldn't say it is more accurate than the Para but I personally shoot this one heaps better in all aspects.

    It is so smooth to shoot and fits my hand properly.

    Oh. And neither of you bums will be looking after it for me. It has DNA recognition and will self destruct in your hands😆

    If it fits, you'll shoot it better, i think is the theory. (my cz is a good example, it just fits)

    Your old one is a bit big to hold onto, but if shot slow, bloody accurate. Just cant get to the mag release with small hands...

    The chaos looks slimmer in the grip, which would help the smaller folk.
    I think you need a 2 stage medical over a couple of days (on this side of the hill). And bring lots of ammo....
