Picatinny mount grenade launcher anyone?

[rjthebassman]

Any of you gun-nutz know of a good 40mm grenade launcher a could procure? Has to be able to mount to a rail. I'm trying to mount it to a full-size cz handgun clone that happens to have a rail on it for what I would assume could be used for lights, lasers, and perhaps a good grenade launcher. Thanks is advance!

They are few & far between. A registered DD 40mm launcher will cost you several thousand. Your cheapest alternative would be a 37mm flare launcher that you bore out to 40mm after paying your tax and your Form 1 is approved... I suggest you do some reading here: Destructive Devices - AR15.COM

They have a lot more expertise...

You won't fit it on a handgun rail, they extend back aways from the attachment point.

As countryboy said, look at a 37mm launcher. They sell them so they can be mounted to rifles, or some that are just launchers. Check out AmericanSpecialtyAmmo.com or Havoc Launchers : Spikes Tactical Also, they are only designed to shoot fireworks, flares, and smoke grenades out of them. If you want to be able to use it as a weapon, say either beanbag rounds or whatever else you may load it with, then you have to go the destructive device route paying the $200 tax stamp and registering it with the ATF.

LMT makes a nice and affordable 40mm rail mounted launcher. I agree that it probably won't fit on a pistol.

Sounds like a great idea!

Hmmm... I thought the LMT ones were closer to $4k but a quick search pulled several up around the $2k mark. That's not bad. Maybe I was thinking M79 pricing.

Anything from autoweapons is half again what it should sell for.

Looking back at this again, I'm not sure OP has ever touched off a 40 mike-mike. A M203 can be fairly stout even with a M4 stuck on it; I don't think I'd even want to fire one mounted to a pistol's rail. The standalone units tend to have the grip below the bore, but a pistol with a GL on its rail would likely have the grip above the bore, thereby leading to a torque trying to snap the firer's wrist down. This just sounds like a recipe for tears, something along these lines (but in the opposite direction):

gotta be honest. I puked in my mouth a little when I saw your profile pic.
