Anyone into cheek pistols?

[Illuminaughty]

Have been fascinated with the idea as outlined by the demonstrated concepts YouTube channel. Decided to embark on a build and ended up with a super fun little PCC. Surprisingly consistent on anything a 100 yards or under using both the cheek weld or the single point sling push/pull method. Curious is anyone else has any cheek pistols builds they care to share…

- Foxtrot Mike upper, 3 in barrel

Tbh those look uncomfortable as hell. Blast near your face? Have used various pistols with short brace and when they get too short I absolutely hate them. Longer ones are comfortable. Just my experience.

Agreed on that one! That said, this one doesn't seem too bad in 9mm.

I've shot something g similar. And being a lefty it gassed my face so much I could taste it.

Yep, gas in the face in quantities large enough to taste are never good.

Haha I love the smell, but the taste and watery eyes…..

Um. no.

Sorry, but
Pass

If you ever needed a prime example of, "hold my beer, I got an idear".... that's it!!

Like holding fireworks in your hand when you light them off..... HARD pass!

AR pistol with a cane cover over the pistol tube was pretty much the go to until the evil braces showed up. Run with a single point sling pulled out tight it made for a fun and capable set up. The other options shown don't interest me much though.

Yes, the sling has been the funnest to run for sure. Sling point straight off the back and to your point, taut.

That reminds me, I need some of those 15° grips.

I triple-checked the calendar, it's not April 1st. What gives?

Muzzle flash, gas, noise, brass, slide bite and beard hair removal are all negatives here. Did his tacticool operator image get better or worse here?

Maybe he has had just a bit too much recoil to the ol brain bucket, it seems scrambled.........but to each their own.

Probably be no challenge for any left hand-dominant shooter who's already accustomed to right hand ARs and Bullpups flinging residue, gas & hot casings in front of his nose.

It looks weird, but results are what matter. If you can get better and more consistent results doing a cheek weld vs other methods, then go for it. I have not tried it yet, but would be down to give it a shot just for the hell of it.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

To my mind...the idea negates just what a handgun is useful for.
In any event...I wouldn't suggest shooting a flintlock that way....

Appreciate the response man! I too agree with the results vs the process. Mostly having fun pushing boundaries and experimenting.
