I want to hang a pistol at a rope ( 3D Object)
But I don't know where the balance point is. (full loaded gun)
Could someone please tell me where it is?

I think it is near the trigger.

What kind of pistol?

You could try using your 3D software's physics system.

I think it is not possible to use a physics system, because the
material in the pistol is different between barrel and grip

If it was a revolver I'd hang one from a cord and let you know. That's probably a Glock. I don't have a semi-auto pistol. Anyone want to hang one up for Wigand?

Upside down right? With the rope through the trigger guard? If you modeled it with the main parts as separate pieces then you could use the physics system. Or make a quick mock up like that just to see how it hangs.

I have a semi-automatic CO2 airpistol (metal) with the general design of your gun (which I agree with Finis on looks like a Glock). If you'd hang it from the trigger guard it would actually hang pretty balanced with the handle pulling a little more weight than the rest of the gun. Though on mine the handle is not only farther back, it also has a slightly longer barrel.
I think it depends a lot on whether it's loaded or not.

How accurate do you need this to be?

Thank you folk.

I think it is now accurate enough.
As you said, if it belongs to the loading state, it doesn't matter much

the handle has much more weight !
if you hang it from the trigger it will tilt until the gripend is around 7 O clock....

Maybe you can tell me which angle is the right one?

Or someone else who own a glock.

On that pic I'd say it would be the 60 or 80 degree angles.

i vote for 60º
I sent the picture to a good friend of mine that work with guns, hopefully he will answer your question..

RAYMAN · Post by **RAYMAN** » 09 Oct 2012, 20:52

Its 60 !
I come from the country that produce them.. a friend of mine worked for them...
The body shell of that thing is of polycarbonat..... only the amunition and theb internal shaft is metal.....

got the reply.. i think you will not find any better than this one

Prodigy you are the man

Many thanks to you and your friend.
The experiment is always better than to guess.

Thanks also to everyone else who tried to help me.
