I used to go to the reenactments on the Lexington Green every year as a kid, followed by the parade on Mass Ave. That area is beyond wackadoo liberal now, it's such a shame.

I want a flintlock pistol just because it sounds cooler than my gl*ck

>>61448581
I was actually thinking about a 92fs for my next but I'm not the biggest fan of a 92 SB compact's trigger I tried out. Need to find one to shoot.
>>
>>61448689
Old 92s had retardly strong hammer springs of 20 pounds, people run 16 to 12-13 pounds now.

LTT Trigger jobs are perhaps the best a DA/SA trigger could be. The 92X RDO stock has a similar trigger bar as a LTT but won’t be as smooth, it’ll have a decently short reset.

If you want a 92SB like, the 92X compact had a railless version. It won’t have the RDO’s trigger bar but you should be buying LTT’s anyway. When people fellate 92s it’s usually with Langdon parts involved.
>>

>If you want a 92SB like
No no, I want to stay away from the SB.
>When people fellate 92s it's usually with Langdon parts involved
Interesting, so if I end up getting one it will likely involve some modifications then?
>>
>>61448714
The LTT trigger shit is truly incredible. The reset is so crisp and short it's almost like cheating on double taps. I cannot even remember what a regular 92FS trigger was like anymore.

>>
>>61448724
You get the modifications not really because you have to, but because you can, as it does make a big difference and for not that much money. The full trigger job in a bag is 180 bucks, the main component is the trigger bar which can be had for 80 bucks. Just the trigger bar and a lower weight hammer spring like 13-14 and you’d have 70% of what the trigger job. It’s diminishing returns for the rest of the trigger job in a bag, but if you want the best you buy the best.

The modifications are not permanent and is just part swaps, some parts are not trivial to install as springs under pressure and needing to line up holes but I can do it in less than 30 minutes since I’ve done it a lot. If you need tips on the hammer sear (hardest part) I’ll show you how I do it.

Like ever good Lube I went to the range just to clean a handgun, there is no need to shhot if you can clean a gun! Because its a brand new early Prototype of a basedAF cleaner I used a gun with style as the 1st ever gun cleaned with a Coom Cleaner. Gonna edit the images now for a Blog post
>>61448529
Not mine, my shooting/reloading buddy picked her up brand new for 1400€ this morning. We tested trigger weights without shooting it which resulted in 1,45 to 1,58kg, lets see if its getting lower after a few 100s of bullets
>>61446933
Kind of what I did at the end, used Coomgrease on the slide and the barrel contact. Coom on all springs and part we did not know if those are important, directly after cleaning her out with CLP and mineral spirit. No malfunction, went very well.

Options:
1. Keep my g23 with drop in 9mm conversion barrel, cut it for an MPS
2. buy an OR p-10c, mount MPS

I'd like to have a better trigger, I had a PDP that was awesome but I sold it like a dummy.
>>
>>61449195
What is the MOA of the acro dot? I've only ever shot through a 407k and I feel like the dot would be bigger than the bullseye at that distance.
>>
>>61449685
It's 3.5 MOA, so it occludes roughly 0.42 inches at 12 yards. The bullseye on a 6 inch shoot-n-c (the smaller bottom ones) is 0.6 inches I believe, so I'd estimate about two-thirds of the bull is occluded. These things vary greatly on individual astigmatisms, though.
>>
>>61449736
I do have a bit of an astigmatism so that makes sense. Nice shooting.
>>
I know there's only so much utility I can get out of asking for input online before I just go to a gun store / gun range and just test the shit out for myself

but out of these 5 which would you recommend I go with?
or is there another brand or model that I should consider alongside these?

I know I included the MSRP in the table, though frankly unless it's edging up against 1800 I'm really not too concerned about price
>>
>>61449912
Your table is wrong, all of those listed are DA/SA. You'll recognize a DAO revolver, because it'll either have a shrouded hammer, or the hammer spur will be cut off.

I know you say you want a smaller frame, but I'd encourage you to look at the L-frames like the 586/686 instead of just the K-frames. K-frames can break down if you feed them a lot of .357, especially at the forcing cone. The newer L-frame forcing cone design largely remedies this issue.

Moreover, you're missing perhaps the most salient difference between the big 3 of Smith, Colt, and Ruger: the chamber latch. Do you want to push forward (Smith), pull back (Colt), or push in (Ruger)? I'm a thumblet, and I can't work the Colt release for the life of me. The Smith and Ruger latches are much easier for me.

this is where my ignorance hurts me
didn't even know this was a consideration, and another reason to just go to a local store / range and try shit out for myself

also it makes sense that the Colt and Rugers would be the ones I mislabeled as DAO, since those two had by far the shittiest websites with the least available information

I would personally buy the SP101. I've always liked them and they are rock solid, but my next choice would be the Model 66 which will likely have a better factory trigger. Then the Colt, then the Kimber, Taurus never. You've really got all the options there unless you're ready to drop $3k on a Spohr.

Oh yeah, and just so you know I'm not talking out of my ass like most anons, I have a GP100 and a 686. There are some minor things I like better about the S&W but overall I keep coming back to the Ruger. I shoot it just as well or better even though the trigger isn't quite as good, and I haven't done any work on either one besides swap grips.
>>
>>61450065
I really enjoyed renting one at a range. Me and my buddy shot it very very well, much better than the pistols we had brough and were more practiced with. The trigger is nice and the ergos are great, the finish is just a bit lack luster.

If the pistol is reliable and groups well in your hands that's most of what matters imho
>>
>>61450065
>>61450085
Forgot to mention but the one we rented was a SAO trigger, the standard legion 226 may be worse.

>>61450084
You got desiccant in there or is it just for transport? I've heard the foam can trap moisture and put it in contact with guns.
>>
>>61449674
If you want a better trigger, just get a Beretta. The triggers on striker guns are all various flavors of mid; it's not worth spending any money at all trying to find one that isn't blown clean out of the water by stock 92.
>>
>>61449912
I will add the model 66 uses a round butt K/L frame grip so you can greatly reduce the size (and shootability) of the grip if needed

Optics are great because they force you to shoot properly, but non-microcompacts are also great because they give you a lot of leeway for not having perfect technique and you can always put a dot on them later.

Walther. It started with an appreciation for their older pistols and became more obsessive. Not really preference even though there are a lot of appreciable attributes to the brand.

So I tried to convert a glock 26 to a glock 27 by swapping the ejector and slide. Just trying to cycle snap caps, I notice that I have to try really hard to get the slide to depress the next round and ride back. Is this normal .40 glock behavior?
>>
>>61450752
It's having to depress the next round by an extra millimeter, so that wouldn't surprise me.
>>
>>61450752
Racking a 23 with a full magazine requires more effort than any other pistol I’ve shot.
>>
>>61450758
I could also imagine it being an engineering choice to use the magazine to bleed off a little of the extra slide energy.
>>
>>61449668
Is the impact at the top of the triangle, the tip of the triangle, or cover the target with the whole triangle ? At ten yards I was getting mixed resultss, I dunno I might be a retard.
>>
>>61448923
Why wouldn't we just put the 92X Performance trigger on ours
>>
>>61450798
Idk where the impact is with respect to the triangle, I'd wager it's like a Glock so it's a very slightly 6 o'clock or combat hold, so sorta close to the tip.
With that said, I think you're thinking about it wrong. Try shooting it like a "normal" pistol iron sight, equal height equal light. So, hold the top of the triangle flush with the top of the rear sight, and even out the air gap (you shouldn't have much at arm's length IIRC). Don't look "within" the triangle while shooting, just focus on getting the triangle itself centered within the rear sight.

Get a Glock 19/17 so you can sell it at a loss in a year, buy something retarded to replace it, then come back here in 4-5 years when the cycle completes and you realize a Glock's your most practical choice. Then, and only then, will you be ready to explore new ideas.

That would be true, if every new handgun for half a century after the 1911 had just been a 1911 in .45 ACP with enough answers changed that the teacher wouldn't know they'd copied JMB's homework.

A compact sized pistol is easiest to both train on and conceal for a newbie. Get a kydex holster for it as well.

There are a ton of good brands out there like the CZ p10c, Smith and Wessen M&P 2.0, FN 509c, and walther PDPc. A glock is probably the worst advice for a beginner as they have basically stalled out 6-7 years ago as a brand and everyone else kept improving either in price or quality or both. Google rental ranges around you and call them up, you should have at least one in your area that offers unlimited swaps for a flat rental fee of around $25. Try out all the options they have and go with whatever pistol you shoot best.

Pic is my favorite pistol, the 509c
>>
>>61450995
Isn't the FN 509 a piece of shit? I heard they had a slew of issues with parts breaking, things being wildly out of spec, and shitty fitment.
>>
>>61450942
I don't think you get it. It has nothing to do with Glock supremacy, and everything to do with having realistic expectations for the vast majority of end users. Particularly someone who would ask that question in the first place.

Glocks are not my favorite guns. But I appreciate them for what they are.

The average end user will not buy a lot of aftermarket shit.
The average end user won't stockpile extra mags.
Many guns are now just as reliable.
Why recommend this gun above everything else in 2024? Get fucked.

I shoot and own a lot of handguns, I have 8, my 4 range buddies have even more. My 509 is still my favorite pistol and I consistently shoot great groups with it as do 3/4 of my range buddies. I'm 8.5-9k rounds into this thing without a single gun related failure.

Parts breakages were an issue with some very early models strikers that was fixed for every gun post 2019. The only complaint I hear is the trigger since it's a hinge trigger some people just don't dig it.

Gen 5 Glocks have:
the best finish in their class (DLC over nitrocarburization)
the best barrel in their class (hybrid polygonal/traditional rifling)
the best holster availability
the best mag availability
the best spare parts availability
the lightest in their class
by far the most adoption by militaries, special forces, law enforcement, etc.

You might not prefer Glocks, but saying that there's "no reason" to get one is just abject dishonesty.

You could do with mellowing the fuck out about your hobby and learning to enjoy a state of blood pressure that isn't elevated

A major selling point of a Glock, yes, is its ubiquity. Have you asked yourself why they're so ubiquitous? Does it maybe have something to do with, at their price point, they are not significantly outdone by any other pistol? There's little compelling reason to buy almost anything else that would apply to a layman. And if they decide to want to make shooting a hobby, great. They have access to the cheapest and exponentially most accessible aftermarket than every other firearm on the market put together.

Hey retard, the sentence "FN has notoriously failed to produce a worthwhile 9mm in nearly 100 years" is not some origional thought somehow arrived at through the grace of god by multiple anons but is posted in almost every single thread for the past 6 months by what I can only imagine to be a single obsessive anon. It's not people calling FN shit, it's that single sentence without any further articulating on WHY the person thinks its shit. Once again, my expirence, the expirence of others, and the 40k rounds the LAPD put through theirs without failures is surely enough evidence to show that FN 509 is a reliable pistol.

My nephew likes FN pistols, for some reason. I shot some subcompact model he has with one of those magazines meant to bump it up to the size of a compact with a floorplate spacer; it was tolerable. PS looking at FN's lineup, it was probably a 509C—it disgusts me that FN would depart from accepted nomenclature like this, but I expect very little of them.
If I'd somehow ended up buying one instead of a Glock, I probably would never noticed the difference—until I wanted to change the irons, or get the slide milled, or buy a holster, or do any sort of armorer work like replacing a slide catch or recoil spring, probably.
I don't see what it has to offer over the default option, and even if I found the Glock lacking in some way, there would be multiple stops on my way from it to anything FN has on offer, even if I limited myself to striker guns.

gen 3 glocks are better. Dare I say that gen 3 glock clones are better. Shadow systems foundation guns are $600 and come with a lot more features and a good optic solution.

Gen 5 is retarded, glock knows the jig is up so are making everything proprietary like mags. Aftermarket mags like magpul are unreliable in gen 5 but perfect in gen 3

Interesting. When I shot a 226 and a 220 briefly at an Sig demo day, I shot them noticeably better in DA than in SA. I figured the SAO version of the 226 would have a better SA than the DA/SA versions, but maybe that’s not the case.

My understanding is that the SAO P22Xes are just DA/SA guns with the DA pull dummied out, like the "SAO" 92s (except that the SA pull on a 92 is delightful)

I fit a $20 'blem' EGW stainless mainspring housing to my Kimber, replacing the only piece of plastic on the gun.

I blended it with a file then cleaned up with some sanding blocks and polishing pads and now it has a nicer fit msh than my Dan Wesson. First time I've hand fit and blended a part, felt pretty good.

Nowadays I agree, absolutely. I don't even think it's marketing more than it being hard to really financially justify adopting another service pistol (and thus new parts, etc) for most departments. But for a solid 30 years, they WERE revolutionary. At this rate, as time goes by and more gear needs to be replaced, I do think Glock will fall out of favor with their main consumers in the coming years. And that's alright; it means that at the very least, even if nobody is truly innovating, they're at least improving.

None; that's the local minimum where you're mostly just paying for marketing and brand recognition. More than that, and you're getting into semi-custom stuff that's arguably worth the money, and less than that you have stuff like Tisas guns that have like 80% of the features for 50% of the cost.

The 124 will have a bullet that weighs 9 grains more. Most people would say that 115 feels a little bit more like a pop, and 124 feels a little bit less poppy and more pushy, and then the heavy for caliber 147 grain stuff feels downright pushy instead of poppy.

NATO spec 9mm is typically a 124 grain loaded sorta hot, though not as hot as overpressure (+P) ammo. Some guns, especially select European and Turkish guns, run better on NATO spec 124 than they do on lightly loaded 115/124 range ammo.

124 is also better at knocking down steel targets that 115 if that’s a part of the sport you’re doing. I prefer 124 to 115, but not enough to pay more for it. You can get Blazer 124 for the same price as Blazer 115, though, so I just shoot a lot of Blazer 124.
>>
>>61453758
What this guy said.
>>61453826

Bear in mind that if you're new to firearms, there's a lot of minutiae like grain weight taken into account when designing certain firearms. Heavier grain ammo tends to perform worse out of short barrels than lighter ammo does, since heavy ammo needs more time in the barrel to burn powder and gain speed (since it's well, heavier) and 9mm expansion relies heavily on speed. Consequently, longer barrels might feed less reliably with lighter or low pressure ammo, since the larger mass of metal and material involved in a longer slide and barrel means more energy is required to push it back and cycle the gun properly. Most are designed nowadays to run with almost any load, but it still happens.
>>
>>61454277
BTW, heavy grain bulits contain less powder than light bulits. I wonder if a identical hotness loaded 115gr is more dirty than a 147gr

Thanks for helping me brainstorm, anons. Sadly, I found no el-cheapo 1911s nearby, just used examples of more premium options. I'd love a 1911, but I'm not just going to drop over a grand on a used gun I don't know anything about. So, airshit, cheapest airshit I could confirm uses "real" grips. It makes me feel ashamed, which should motivate me to actually buy a real one when summer comes around. More importantly, my first attempt at some cast aluminum grips fit perfectly. Now I can make some more complex ones for my friend's birthday.

>>61454302
Light bullets and heavy powder charges are substantially dirtier than heavy bullets with light powder charges.
In 357 Mag I'll load coated 180gr bullets over 5.5gr of Universal. All the powder is burnt before the base of the bullet has left the chamber.

Is it just me or is the Model 66 literally just the old Model 19, but with a different finish and a different handle?
>>
>>61454416
Model 66 uses their sleeved barrel, the barrel is two piece where the sight and ejector rod lug thingy is one piece and the barrel is another. Makes it cheaper to produce, but it doesn't seem to be passed to the consumer unless stainless steel costs them that much more to produce then blued carbon steel. It can also cause outer sleeve not to be timed right so it doesn't perfectly line up with the rear sight (this is corrected with windage adjustment). Purists hate it, I don't mind it.

That’s correct. S&W model nomenclature contains information on the finish. For instance, the 586 is the same gun as the 686, except the 586 is blued and the 686 is stainless.

The 66 was introduced as the stainless version of the 19, along with some quality of life stuff, like an adjustable sight iirc.

What would be a good one to consider, for most use as a range gun? I've seen a few of you mention the RDO model, I do like the way the performance looks and is on rebate. A lot of the other stainless seem to be 40% to 2x the price of black or tan.

>>
>>61455762
Don't worry anon, it's fun to point out the known issue (that they claimed to fix, but didn't actually, before deciding it's always the customers fault), but most claim it takes thousands of rounds. Not a lot of folks shoot their Tomcracks enough to actually achieve the crack, and avoiding hot loads (may) help to prevent it.

Yeah, for what it's worth, it came with a card in the box that says which ammunition to use with it and whatnot, and the manual recommends an initial "break-in" period which the seller informed me he hadn't done so the gun is still basically from factory.

Although I'll admit your post did make me field strip to check and see how things look. Pic related.

>>61450752
Shot 140 rounds through this thing today. My hands are tired and I have a flinch again.

I've confirmed that my slide likes short truncated ogive bullets with a big radius. It really liked Blazer 165 gr (1.1217" average COL), did well with Sig V-crown 165gr (1.1228" average COL), less so with Federal Punch 165gr (1.1232" average COL), and absolutely hated Fiocchi truncated cone 165gr (1.1266" average COL).

Industry breaking? Lmao, HK is several years behind the curve and with less features. It only will appeal to its fanboys who thrive off of muh teutonic steel even though it's a polymer frame. It should be on Burt's list though. All the controversial launches should have an X btw let's be honest >>61456313

I'd probably cop one. But from what I understand HK has told people that it's for some mil/LE contract and they won't be releasing it for commercial sale.

No, I'm not joking. To be fair I don't have an actual need for a micro-9 anyway. I just want one, and I may as well wait until HK releases theirs since I collect their shit despite their hatred of me. You can tell they're just dragging their feet and slow getting their shit to the market with this one. Their reps have been pushing the modularity aspect despite that fad being long over.

That's just .357 SIG, champ. It fucks if you get used to the sensory overload and cost. Little bastards fucking fly out of the barrel. Plus, the taper gives them a cute comblock aesthetic. I loved the shit out of my P239 when I had it despite its incredibly unnatural ergos and absolutely unreasonable thickness for a single stack.

Idk man, I’ve been around other .357 Sigs, and none were this bad. Maybe it was an ammo thing

>>61456666
Probably. I don't shoot it anymore, but I remember some defensive loads pushing 1600-1700 fps out of 4in barrels. Dudes who are still shooting. 357 SIG are more likely to be into wacky shit like that than most people.

Dunno mane. You're not thinking of that Canadian aluminium Glock are you? I was mildly hyped for that

>>61456350
It was maybe the first aluminum framed notaglock, and still would be among very few even after so many years. Actually I think there still aren't any on the market, since Icarus frames are aftermarket and the rest are literallyaglocks or steel.

>>61456521
>Their reps have been pushing the modularity aspect
Has there been anything official released or said about the SFP9CC in the last year? I'm curious if the pistol has been scrapped entirely because it would mark the first time ever that H&K has chased a trend in the US civilian market. It's probably a really stupid idea, but maybe keeping the "you suck and we hate you" attitude is actually better for the brand.
>>61456745
Not because of a dream, but I frequently have dreams in which I find the next gun on my wishlist and get to play around with it. It usually ends with me saying I'll come back to buy it later and then never getting back there.

Yes but it's a literallyaglock, not a notaglock. There have been aluminum literallyaglock frames since like the 90s.
>>
>>61456891
For fun? Yeah, if the price is right. They're very underappreciated as tinker toys if you're into some minor gunsmithing. You can have 'em for cheap enough to cut your losses. Elbow and grease and youtube videos can get them comparable to a Smith in the trigger. Worst case you can just beat the piss out of it and have fun.
>>
>>61456747
That 357 Sig is assuredly a lighter bullet than 125gr.
Actual velocity from a 4" barrel with 125gr in a Sig shows around 1350-1475fps.
Which is around what I get with them in my 3" SP101. According to my chrono data, I have 110gr going 1561fps, 125gr going 1432fps, 158gr going 1316fps, and a 180gr going 1241fps.

Ah, word, 1400ish sounds much more reasonable for a ~125 grain projectile.

How heavy is that spring?
Do any anons know: are there any risks or penalties to installing a heavier spring like this?
>>
>>61457181
The risk of not installibg a heavier spring is battering the gun to death using +P loads.
The risk of installing it could mean that powderpuff loads may not cycle the action.
>>
>>61457181
One main downside is what this guy says: >>61457211. It might not cycle weak loads.
Another downside is that the slide will return to battery with too much momentum, which can cause your slide/gun to dip down past level, which will slow you down. Some guys call this "porpoising".

Nah, they're not only good guns but you have sentimental value in a M9. So you have more reason to have one then most people.
