>>62141144I can't believe that gem got deleted. Siggers are pathetic.Also how long until the revolver complaining starts?
>>62141149None of the revolver OPs have been with weapons that OP actually owns. That should be quite damning DESU
hey bros i’m looking at 2 pistols rn. beretta bobcat in .22 and an uberti saa in 9mm. anyone have anything to say about either good or bad?
So, 4th post. Revolvers are handguns and there's been nothing wrong with these OPs apart from a mixed up number that was fixed and no cumbrain backdrops.
>>62141164at this rate it's gonna be the monthly /ahg/ spergout
I love revolvers so much
>>62141162The Bobcat is fun if overpriced. A 9mm Uberti sounds like fun, and being a SAA means no moon clips. Buy both.
Ah no actual complaints about revolvers but here the little revolver gang complains about the people complaining about revolvers. You guys are insufferable. Worse than Berettafags since they post guns they own Not all revolverfags though. Just the ones who need everyone to know they made revolvers their whole personality
>>62141162The Beretta is neat if you get it with a threaded barrel and a can that weighs less than the gun it's attached to, the Uberti is probably going to be more fun, especially since it avoids the extraction problems of other 9mm revolvers since you're poking the cases out with a stick either way.
>>62141191Actually, yes there was. This thread, the last thread, the thread before that. Stop whining.>>62141180Of all the stupid shit, an on topic non-troll OP is making people flip their shit. People can't be happy and just enjoy handguns and revolvers.>>62141172Nice collection anon, I like the wood grips.
I like guns that spin
I really want a revolver, thinking about getting a rhino. Someone talk me out of it. Probably won't buy one for another few months so I guess I have time to think on it
>>62141202>can't be happy and just enjoy handguns and revolversI don't get it. Got a century old revolver and a glock, both are fun. I think everyone should have both a revolver and a semi-auto.
>>62141202Thanks brother. I have a humble yet fun collection
>>62141214Or a python. I don't really know shit about revolvers I just like these two based on looks
>>62141214Rhinos feel (and are) pretty chintzy for how expensive they are, the trigger pull is meh and don’t shoot hot rounds out of it if you value your fingers.
>>62141221A Python is lovely, pricey, very good. The Rhino is uniquely designed to remove your hand if anything ever goes wrong.
>>62141221Smiths have the best trigge4s out the box
>>62141231New Smiths don’t, they’re pretty on par with the nicer Rugers.
>>62141214The Rhino is a cheap aluminum-frame gun that puts the firing chamber right next to your fingers and has eaten multiple end-users' hands already.>>62141221The Python is expensive for what it is but it's functional and looks as good as it looks, so you probably won't be disappointed.I'd recommend an Anaconda, since they look about the same as a Python and .44 Magnum is more fun.
>>62141242>I'd recommend an AnacondaGood luck finding one in stock in the configuration you want.

What kind of holster should I get for my Glocky 17? Should I even get one?I like IWB’s.
>>62141267Tenicor Malus Sol
>>>62141079I think it will be fine. Someone will throw it in a duty gun. Federal just released a new load for it and ammo is about .35cpr-40cpr online right now.
>>62141144my edc. can shoot the wings off a fly with this motherfucker but its purpose is a belly gun anyways, so the point is moot. if my use case was differemt id carry a high capacity 9mm of some sort, but this is enough for trips to ace hardware and old man johnsons to patch some drywall, hes got a howitzer in his basement anyways. i can leave the artillary at home.
any more word on the lipseys 32 h&r j frames? I read mixed reports on qc when people first started getting them in. I'd like one, but not so bad I'd be happy if I had to send it back.
>>62141266>Good luck finding one in stock in the configuration you want.I reiterate. And what kind of faggot wants a 4in .44mag anyways? 6in or 8in or go home.
>>62141214get yourself a nice 4-5" .38spc police model, or a snubby if youre feelin saucy. insanely fun to shoot.
>>62141323Elmer Keith and enough other 1950s people to warrant it being one of the original barrel lengths offered.
If you had to mill your pistol for any optics footprint, what would you chose? I like the crossbolt design of like the aimpoint/holosun, but I'm not sold on enclosed emitters.
BROWNING & SIG SAUER linked up! Need it or keep it??!
>>62141360RMR, since it has the best selection of good optics and if something else upsets it you can always get an RMR–whatever adapter plate.
>>62141363I wouldn't mind a SARCO-marked gun for that M9 trials vibe, but a BDA? Whatever.
>>62141220Is that an SA16A2? I really want one.
So I missed the boat on a copsurp USP V1 and picked up a V2 because I read it's the easiest thing in the world to convert back to V1, is there any place to get that singular safety-decocker lever that isn't shelling out to long-nose tribe over at HKparts
>>62141367That's how I'm leaning. I was considering going for an acro cut, but I'm not sure aimpoint is going open emitter anytime soon. Problem being no acro to rmr adapter. What's my risk for sheered screws going with rmr?
>>62141383negligible if you torque them to spec
>>62141360RMRTrijicon products don't tend to kill themselves and the RMR compatible Holosun optics have been very good for their pricing category (507Comp for example)
>>62141380HK’s official webzone?
>>62141380ebay or Midwest Gun Works
>>62141189>>62141192much obliged for the responses frens. will likely buy both. the saa is pretty cheap and i’ve seen the beretta on sale. i’ve been in the market for a good micro .22 to fuck around with and have for my wife if she ever needed but i’ve heard most are total garbage.
>>62141399Would you send it off for milling or do you think I should just get a 17mos slide? Terrified of the thought of sheered screws, but I haven't seen any bricked slides either
FUCK b&t
I love B&T
>>62141428It's true, most pocket-sized 22s are either trash, overpriced, manufacturer after-thoughts, or actual novelties. There are highlights, not everything is trash, but it's a shit category. The Taurus PT-22 is a piece of shit, the LCR 22 is too expensive, the HP22A borders on novelty and its cousins from Lorcin/Jimenez/Jennings/Bryco/Sundance are all trash, and the LifeCard, the NAA Mini Revolvers, the Ounce, the Switch, all novelty guns.The LCPII 22 is really not bad, but roughly the same price as the Bobcat with none of the sovl.

>>62141500How
>>62141497>the HP22A borders on noveltyif you put a 3d printed rail on it and remove all the dumb safeties they're pretty fucking good for a $150 gun. but its a $150 gun and more of a tool gun than a weapon of self defense
>>62141597
>>62141220I should cop one of those 4x clones for my 604gery.
Hey anon. Nice shooting, I couldn't help but see you are being held back by polymer striker slop. What you need is a stylish hammer fired handgun... Come over here to this van. I got all sorts of hammer fired guns in here.
>>62141749>that will be 1200$ + opticnah im good
>>62141749But Ernest, you sell Hellcats. Those aren't hammer guns
>>62141743What is this grip-wedge thing called i sometimes see on older revolvers like in your picture
I’m excited to get my Gen 2 Glocky.
>>62141782tyler t
>>62141782Tyler T grips, I have a terrible experience buying from them, it took 2 years after he cashed the check without any correspondence. No emails, no text, couldn't call him. This was during covid. Robinson Trading Post makes a aluminum copy, BKgrips does a polymer version.
>>62141220It’s the H&R from PSA with the FN barrel
>>62141816>he mixed and matched the gray and black upper/lowers
>>62141816>>62141376Sorry, replied to my post instead of yours
>>62141782The generic term is a 'grip adapter'. The Tyler T-Grip is the most famous, though Pachmayr and I think some other companies made similar products. The one on that revolver is from a guy who goes by BK grips. He casts them himself from resin, and while they're not as pretty they are 100% functional and after having bought four or five from him over the years I can say he's a great guy to do business with.
>>62141783Early glonks are comfy. Never should have sold my gen 1 17.
>>62141819Well, I bought it as a complete rifle and it was a blem so idk if that had anything to do with it
>>62141822Oh nice. What’s that mount/optic you have the carry handle? Does it hold zero okay? Can you still get a sight picture with the irons with it attached?
>>62141837based. I’m imagining the adventures innawoods.
>>62141853Don't avoid Gunbroker, it's the eminent gun market in the country for good reason and you WILL find good prices (sometimes). Handguns of the World, Guns International, Proxibid, maybe Simpson Ltd. And all the big gun forums, I've found many of my weirdos on forums. I also regularly check certain vendors on auction sites like djwimports, EuroImports and Vanguard Arms on Gunbroker, or NWArmory on GunAuction. See, they have a Colt Double Eagle that's REALLY weird lolhttps://www.gunauction.com/buy/17347943
>>62141882The mount is built into the optic and just screws in. You can use the iron sights with the optic mounted. To be honest, I took the optic off due to weight/handiness/preferring irons so I haven't tested its zero holding.
>>62141893This thing is reminding me of what I'll see in bodycam footage of like detroit, chicago, and new york. Some old guy will carry a silver da only handgun with a bobbed hammer.
>>62141893I love scoring deals from the money order only boomers that nobody else wants to deal with.
Would it be stupid to put a single point sling on a handgun?
>>62141925Man I miss living in Detroit. Going to hood chicken spots where the only drink options were kool aide colours. Interacting with every flavor of crackhead. There's just something about having to pump your gas with your left hand to keep your right hand free to draw that adds a spice to life.
>>62142131The Halestorm song "I Miss the Misery" comes to mind.
>>62142084..Y'know a bungee sling and one of those trigger cover things tied to your belt might actually work with a large handgun under a light jacket
>>62141267Get one of those absolutely garish patterns from ANR or Insane kydex creations.
>>62142131>>62142131
>>62142145Trigger cover things? Post pic?
>>62142224A trigger guard 'holster' was what I was thinking of. This is a 100% retarded idea. But I was thinking that you could use a bungee sling, and the trigger guard cover tied to your belt would hold it against your side to keep it from flopping around.
>>62142271Yeah, doesn’t seem like the most efficient. I suppose realistically speaking, with a little training, you could do like a jacket, single point adjustable sling, and a holster. That would require you to unzip, fling your jacket out of the way, adjust the strap then pull I suppose.
>>62142349I was thinking bungee sling to avoid needing to adjust the strap, you could just fire it one handed kinda like the old MP5 technique.
>>62142387Oh yeah, I think I know what you’re talking about. Honestly, I wonder if it’s be practical.
>>62141235Nobody said to get a nu smith
Has anyone ever filled out a form 1?Found out apparently you can legally turn a solvent trap into a supressor, and was just curious how that’d turn out. If you went about it legally of course.I’ve seen videos of people in trouble with the NFA and ATF over those. So what do you do? Fill out a form, then buy it, or how does that work?
>>62141130Slider fags gotta admit, these 2 are gorgeous!
>>62141325Wheelie fags gotta admit that is a shitty photo.
Does anyone remember this gun? I have one. I never shoot it, but I also don’t wanna get rid of it.. I should take it out again sometime.
>>62142427>Honestly, I wonder if it’s be practical.It's really not. But it sounds kinda cool. Like a modern day version of Tuco hanging his Colt Navy around his neck with a lanyard.
>>62142834Maybe if you did it with a gun that had a manual safety or DA/SA so it isn't just bouncing around with nothing over the trigger.
>>62140677 #The pistols brand new. I was more jokingly refering to the absurd saker 5.56 setup on it. Also that is ODG, hard to tell on camera but green in person. I wanna shoot it a couple times with the saker just because I don’t have a 22lr can yet but I don’t want to have baffle strike
>>62142434People have done it a million times. Sometime last year the ATF was rejecting. Form 1 solvent traps over bullshit but I haven’t heard anything about it in a while. As long as it’s not in a suppressor config before they approve it you should be gtg.
>>62142657I didn’t know it was possible to make an uglier Glock
lurker here, just wanted to say that these threads have been more palatable recently. keep it up, thanks. still hate the twink though, but who doesn't.
>>62142084There are still some hammer guns that come with a attachment point at the heel. I couldn't really come up with uses other than a retention cord or hanging trinkets off it, but a single point sling would make a lot of sense in a "I have to attach something here" sort of way.
>>62142966it makes absolutely no sense to attach a sling to a pistol unless you are doing some mad max shooting while riding a motorcycle type of shit, in which case thats badass and you need to get a wallet chain with skulls in the chain links like this
>>62143016Correct, especially if you have a full steel pistol. Simply connect a length of chain to the lanyard to make your own Defender
I've been out of the loop for a while. Has anything good come out in the last year or so I should know or give a shit about and waste money on moving from the store to my safe before going back to just putting my 380 on my pocket every day? I saw naa is making a sidewinder pug. That would take even less room in my pocket!
>>621432249mm ammo has solved handguns. Unless you want a gucci 2011 just buy more ammo to shoot
>>62143329What 9mm should I replace my lcp2 with? Something I can pocket carry as easy. Sig 938 with the safety on? Iwb sucks balls and you can't shoot a carjacker while seated, which is my most likely use case.
>>62143357If carrying aiwb or drawing from aiwb while seated is an issue, you just need to lose weight.
>>62143357P938 is great for pocket carry. I’m pocket carrying mine now.The P365 is great option too, but cant really speak on it
>>62143357M&P Shield
>>62143447In a car, dumbass. The seat belt gets in the way. Also, iwb fucking sucks in general. >>62143521Not too heavy? Cargo pockets can sway when you walk off there's too much weight in them. >>62143554I assume the new one? I kinda hate nu Smith, but every company is jewish now anyway. Would the hellcat or 911 be better? I know Springfield is worse, politically, but who cares at this point? Anyway, nothing new though. This is all shit that's been out a while. That was my real inquiry. I'm not seeing shit on jewgle.
Huh? It seems they discontinued the 911. That's not a good sign.
What’s your logic with practice vs duty/carry ammo? The way I see it, I can 1) try to match the performance of my duty ammo to the practice ammo I use or vice versa, or 2) I can zero for duty/carry ammo, then just be okay with my practice ammo being off the mark.Thoughts? Also I’ve always been curious if there was any way I could match the grain between practice and hollowpoints and have a reasonably small zero shift.
>>62143836You can get Blazer 9mm or other brass case for 24CPR Don't cheap out for 3 pennies per round. NOT WORTH IT
>>62143780>In a car, dumbass. The seat belt gets in the wayYeah, user error. The seatbelt goes behind the holster, retard. Seatbelts are designed to tension around your hip bones in the event of a crash. Having a holster and gun being pushed into your organs due to having the belt in front of it will fuck you up. You'd know this if you had done the smallest amount of research
>>62143780The Hellcat is bottom of the barrel strikerslop, you absolutely do not want a Hellcat. If you buy a Smooth and Wooson strikerslop before August 7 you can at least get a $50 rebate on it.
>>62143900That guy must be a midget and needs to be using a booster seat
>>62142876You touched on why they were rejecting solvent traps. The ATF says they're functionally the same as the base for a modular suppressor, which is still the registered suppressor even if it has no baffles or anything else and is basically just a thread adapter. So that's how they treat solvent traps, if you want to register one as a suppressor then as far as they're concerned it already is one, and they don't issue tax stamps for suppressors after purchase. I blame the Chinese, because they started selling full blown suppressor kits, whole suppressors labeled as "solvent traps" or "fuel filters" either totally complete or just requiring you to drill a single hole, and that's when the ATF decided they'd had enough. You can thank kits like picrel selling for <$20 from China, which is still available btw, but there is absolutely no legal way to register it. It's all a fat load of shit of course, but that's the situation with solvent traps. Here's the most recent real publication we have pertaining to it: https://www.atf.gov/file/186521/download
>>62143836I shoot Winchester Service Grade since it’s basically M1152 (military’s new round, 115 gr 1300 fps, +P if not a little hotter) since you can also buy Winchester Defender High Pressure 147 gr JHP (only from SGammo) where it’s the military’s M1153 (147 gr Ranger T like projectile with +P loading, ~1000 fps) where it will have the same impact as the Winchester Service Grade at least at 7 yards. I believe Speer does lawman where the FMJ and JHP are engineered to have the same POI. If you’re shooting the same velocity and same grain you shouldn’t get that much deviation Personally I’ve been considering 115 gr Winchester Defender since it’s cheap (40 cpr) for my shorter barrel 9mms, also lower recoil than M1153/M1152 but I’m very invested in M1152
>>62142084There's a use case for attaching a lanyard to your pistol so you don't lose it forever because you dropped it off the side of a boat/helicopter/motorcycle, but 99.9% of the time it's just going to snag on shit and get in your way and you'd be better served by a holster with active retention features like a thumb snap.
Should converting a non safariland QDS holster be as simple as taking a sheet of kydex and just drilling holes into the appropriate spots?
>>62142876So I could legally order a solvent trap right now and I wouldn’t get an NFA letter or the ATF knocking on my door?>suppressor config Wdym? Like physically on your gun?
>>6214398350/50 if you want to take the chance.
>>62143983If it can thread onto your barrel and has a hole or can easily be converted to have a hole, they’ll fuck you
>>62143983No.>>62143950
>>62143935and/or obese. I also pocket carry occasionally but when someone leads off with saying aiwb/iwb is difficult or uncomfortable, they're usually just fat
>>62143357If I’m somewhere sketchy I’ll put my seat belt behind the pistol so if needed I can get to it quickly
>>62143950Classic ATF circular logic. If you want to turn this into a suppressor then it must already be a suppressor. What a soul less toad you must be to work at the ATF
>>62143983>suppressor config If it Comes with what the ATF might construe to be baffles already inside the tube your gonna be in for a bad time
>>62144113So you sit with the barrel of your gun driven into your crotch, barrel aimed into your femoral and/or iliac?>>62144127Why play dumb, why pretend you can't tell the difference? Yes, ATF bad, but if you buy a suppressor that's labeled as something else but is still obviously a suppressor, the fuck do you expect?
>>62144140Unlike you our guns don’t randomly go off
>>62144153It's a Sig, you might want to reconsider.
>>62144140>So you sit with the barrel of your gun driven into your crotch, barrel aimed into your femoral and/or iliac?correct, in fact it is undoubtedly the most popular carry location in modern times due to redundant safety systems on handguns and kydex holsters
>>62144190Generally when I see AIWB demonstrated you sit with it positioned so the barrel points out and away from your body, not into your thigh. I also don't see how one would do that with a compact or really anything without a 4"+ barrel, so maybe that's why I'm confused.
>>62143950Ok, so if I can’t buy something like that, then why can’t I buy something like pic rel, and buy a tube, and thread the tube? Could I legally buy a thread adapter with threads on the inside? Would that be totally legal?Or would that fall under manufacturing a supressor? Doesn’t that require a license? Then how and for what purpose can someone legally file a form 1 to register a supressor?All the legit “supressors” labeled as “supressors” have such a huge markup, it’s ridiculous.
>>62144311>Or would that fall under manufacturing a supressor? Yes, which is perfectly legal.>Doesn’t that require a license? Nope.>Then how and for what purpose can someone legally file a form 1 to register a supressor?It's a tax, anon. You pay the tax BEFORE you buy or build the suppressor. If you want to build a suppressor, fill out a Form 1, get your tax stamp, then build the suppressor.
>>62144329does each suppressor need a stamp? can you buy a stamp before purchasing a suppresor? sorry, am tarded
>>62144329Can I fill out a form 1, then buy the solvent trap anon posted?
>>62144366Yes, each suppressor needs a stamp. Yes, you buy the stamp before purchasing the suppressor, that's not optional. You should learn about suppressors and ownership in the US before getting into the idea of making them. It's not complicated, it's not hard, the whole thing is faster and easier now than it's been for the last 3 decades. You're paying a tax to get a tax stamp, a tax stamp is a piece of paper that says you paid your tax, you need your tax stamp to legally purchase or produce a suppressor.>>62144380No. There is no circumstance in which an American can order one of those legally. https://www.atf.gov/file/186521/download Read nigga, read.
>>62144366The stamp is for a specific suppressor, down to the serial number, just like a 4473 is for a specific gun, and has to be obtained in conjunction with a specific can accordingly.
>>62144311I should add, if you want to turn those thread adapters into a suppressor, then you need your tax stamp before you buy them. As far as the ATF is concerned, those ARE suppressors the moment you purchase them knowing they will become part of a suppressor. It's fucking retarded as fucking fuck, but better to know it than to give some ATF cuck a reason to visit you.
>>62144417Ahh ok, I see. Thanks anon! I just bought a surplus Glocky Glank Glonk (waiting for them to ship), so I’m not buying anything else atm, but I appreciate the clarification on that.Definitely gonna look into filing a form 1, then making my own. I mean honestly, how hard could it be to make a suppressor?A thread, a tube, and a handful of washers?>pic rel AS VAL
>>62142131>DetroitIt's mostly the same. Actually kind of better in a way. Picking up at French street. They gave me free underweight bags. Good stuff.
>>62144113I used to do that, but one time I forgot and got out of the car in a hurry and flung the gun out on the ground. The cargo pocket is just easier.
Any optics ready 44 mag revolvers that aren't Taurus?
>>62144661Most S&W revolvers are already tapped for a scope/red dot mount, the blade sight comes off
>>62143901I'm not worried any the money. I'd pay for something more effective and easier to shoot if it's actually small enough and worth it. I've shot my wife's p238 and it's much better, but it's bigger and heavier than my lcp2. Now a p938 is an upgrade in both power and it's cheaper to practice with, but it's even heavier and slightly bigger still. I was hoping they came out with a better micro 9 when I wasn't paying attention.
>>62143901Please dont insult my hellcat pro.
>>62141766Sorry, the marketing person said I need to make guns for gay people.
>>62143780>Not too heavy? Cargo pockets can sway when you walk off there's too much weight in them.Not really. It’s about the same weight as ppk which just over a pound. I don’t really notice it swaying around, but most people aren’t going to notice
>>62144678>629 STEALTH HUNTER Talk me out of it
>>62144706>I was hoping they came out with a better micro 9 when I wasn't paying attention.They did, the P365. I want a Two tone stainless one.
>>62144776long-barrel revolvers are stupid.
>>62141151that holster looks like it collapses when the gun is out. Also looks like the gun has no retention.I do not recommend such holsters if thats for EDC, concealed or open.Also you have a nice kitty.
>put the 9mm 929 cylinder into an R8>add a shitty vortex red dot and a fucking bobbed hammer>double the price
>>62144794They’re less stupid than short barrel revolvers
>>62144860>They’re less stupid than short barrel revolverslolwut
>>62144860you said that without thinking, you clearly dont want anyone to talk you out of buying that piece of shit even though you're probably looking at a price tag of 1800
>>62144869I think revolvers in general are stupid
>>62141130What is the glock 19 of 357 revolvers?
>>62144887bottom feeders will never experience the tactile bliss of moon clips
>>62144896*bends*
>>62144907thats why you get the moon clip dick flattener
>>62143357for driving, nothing beats a fanny pack. best draw, best comfort
>>62144794Yeah so? It's a range toy first, hunting weapon 2nd. Long barrels look neat >>62144860Retard nigger alert>>62144872I'm NTAAlso my 92LTT was more than $1800 after getting all the magazines and the RMR for itI'm going to get near that price in total once I get my USP 45 milled for RMR
>>62144923>adding a point of failure to your gun who’s entire existence relies on it being perceptibly more reliable than a autoloaderI really wanted to like moon clips but the only way to carry them safely without any chance of bending them is in a speed loader pouch. I mean it’s unlikely that they’ll bend loose in the pocket but why take that chance and lock up your gun? Or just use a tried and true speed loader. I wonder if half moon clips bend less, they probably do, I don’t remember reading any issue with the 1917
>>62144794No.

>>62145006It's the model 66.
>>62142870You won't have a baffle strike unless the FH or silencers aren't screwed on tightly, but even if you did, a welded 5.56 baffle stack could take a lil popgun .22 going a piddly 1,200 fps
>>62143901Hellcat felt fine to me at the gun shop. I suspect you simply hate Croatians.
>>62145011It's ackshually the 686 or Security Six, since unlike the K-frames they just work and won't shit themselves if you shoot too much .357 out of them.
>>62145118So very incorrect. The thread alignment could be off same with either shoulders. It's good practice to check with a low tolerance steel rod, but you can risk it by betting it's on straight or eyeballing it.
>>62145202They weren't nearly as popular for police carry.By the time the L frame came out in 80-81, LEOs were beginning to switch to autos. Those that weren't making the switch didn't collectively opt to upgrade.
>>62145216It's rare that a US made firearm-related thread is off enough to cause a baffle strike. Yeah it CAN happen, with any of the multiple thread interfaces between the chamber and end cap, but it's more likely that not being tightened to the shoulder would cause a baffle strike than a manufacturing defect would. I have precision ground rods to check too, and I do check, and nothing's ever been even remotely close to that off kilter enough to make this a worry in my mind (anymore, after buying and using rods)
>>62145279It's rare isn't the same as you won't, if you get what I'm trying to say. The only way to know is to use a rod. Then, as long as you screw things on tightly, should the alignment be consistent ie not needing to check the same barrel multiple times.
>>62145288That shouldn't need to be said.
The red rust I reduced to magnetite doesn’t have the same color as the rest of the bluing. Gun project chads what can fix this? Jewelers rouge polish?Probably doesn’t matter since this is 200$ and goes in car and at least all the red has been neutralized
>>62144706Smith CSX
>>62145510
>>62144780>P365I have rented one twice. I wanted to like it. I don't. >>62144930I've tried this. It gets in the way at my job. Otherwise, yes, they are very underrated. >>62145510>csxUgh. Okay, I'll look at it again. They didn't have one to rent last time I was aware of it's existence. In fact, I don't think I've seen one in a shop to finger fuck. Didn't the autistic Mormon say there was something wrong with it? I'll check. He's been wrong about shit before.
>>62145577They had magazine issues with the 10 rounder (no reason to use them ever if you aren’t in a mag ban state, default is 12) and also had a false reset They have fixed both these issues as far as I know, the false reset fix can be done with a file if you have an old one
>>62143788I mean, people are always gonna choose the P938/P238 and Micro 9 over the 911, so why bother?
>>62145510Having both a trigger safety and manual safety switch is retarded. Plus, it's ugly.
>>62145604Its beautiful.
>>62144660You need a holster with better retention at that point. Although I have hoped out to pour gas and forgot to cover my pistol again so everyone just sees a pistol in my pants
>>62145583>>62145604The idea, for me, would be to pocket carry it with the safety on, no holster. It would be the side pocket of Duluth cargo pants and shorts. It would get the pocket to itself, and it's hidden by items in the pocket over it. The thing is, that safety better be really solid. I'm not sure how easy it would be for it to accidentally disengage, especially with it being ambi.
>>62145800CSX safety is low profile, I’ll take pictures when I get home. I carried it appendix in an enigma rig and to be honest, one time after taking a piss the safety lever got caught on my jeans and it flipped the safety off. Very audible click so I knew what happened.
Bereli has multiple models 226s on sale for those who don't want to get used ones
>>62145831I'll see if my store has one. The only reason to replace my lcp2 is cheaper ammo to practice, but I'm far more worried about customers seeing me print than having to shoot someone.
>>62145836I saw that, but I can’t buy anything right now. Buying a house is almost too adult for me.
>>62145851Probably won’t, it’s a memory holed gun. I’ve seen them at 400 dollars new at the cheapest, it was a PSA daily deal a long time ago
>>62145836>Balthazar GeldDamnit anon! You're making me think I'm in the wrong tab!
>>62145899Holy shit a based twg playerI may have called you a faggot at some point in history lol
>>62145118Yea I might have to risk a desk pop or two because I don’t feel like getting a 22lr alignment rod.

thoughts on green dots vs red dots?also what's the best moa?
>>62145926The...texturing inside the "BODYGUARD" lettering on the slide is giving me electropenciled Soviet surplus vibes.
>>621459391 MOAAnything bigger is retarded because you're allowing for greater potential inaccuracy
>>62145939Green is a meme, bigger dots are better unless you're using it for passive NODs aiming
>>62145926A gun, anon. You bought a gun.
>>62145176But you didn't buy it tho, right?
>>621459391-2 MOA is optimal, 3-5 is "okay", 6+ is trashThe only benefit that larger red dots have is faster target acquisition, but you can easily mitigate that with a smaller dot by getting good at drawing/presenting your gunSmaller red dots, on the other hand, are objectively better for precision + long range which can't be accounted for unless you're shooting at familliar steel targetsRed vs green is 90 percent just aesthetics, but all else being equal you should get green dots since they stand out better. There's a good reason why green is the most popular color for fiber optic sights
>>62146099>1-2 MOA is optimal, 3-5 is "okay", 6+ is trashholy shit imagine being this completely wrong.
>>62146099Homo detected
Since I don’t have the tools to fit the “excellent condition” replacement 1903 barrel I bought I instead used the marble technique to polish my badly shot up old barrelI think it did tighten the groups (the tiny bullet holes) considerably. Not sure if to continue this method of field repair till I get good results.It probably could do a little better as I shot semi rapidly
>>62146242Forgot pic. This is better than the previous spread and the main reason is the crown polishing.
Has anyone ordered from Classic Firearms? Unfortunately I ordered after I read the reviews, but I’m hoping all goes well.It’s been a whole day now and they still haven’t shipped my Glock.
>>62146280anything classic sells you can probably find on simpsons for cheaper, plus you get a description of what you're buying instead of just luck of the draw
The weirdo FFL who takes silver has these Taylor's and Co 9mm single action recovers in stock. Are they any good? A single action 9mm I can buy for silver is kind of tempting.
>>62146242>>62146253Your shooting isn't consistent enough for any of that to be noticeable
>>62146253If you crop your photo it won't rotate
>>62146253niggas really do just go to the range and shoot the same target 50 times then leave
>>62146316I didn’t crop, it’s at the standard IPHONE dimensions.It’s just always rotated idk why >>62146323I took the cheap option. Like always. That’s why I used a marble, a facial cloth, and powder to refinish a crown. Apparently with some success
>>62146323>show up the range >stammer out a h-hello, one stall please >ignore the staff member asking his manager about the anti suicide policy >paste my target ignoring the whispers of boomers debating if I’m a woman or not >put target out at 10 yards >shoot one handed as fast as I can, barely on paper, ignore the guy in the next stall saying I hit his target >leave
>>62146312They’re now landing in a cluster and chewed the head off where they’d miss a lot. So it made a difference Maybe I should slow shoot to try and zero it. I’ll polish some more first.
>>62146337>paste my target ignoring the whispers of boomers debating if I’m a woman or not>put target out at 10 yards>shoot one handed as fast as I can, barely on paper, ignore the guy in the next stall saying I hit his target>leaveMy 100 bullets lasted almost 15 minutes!
>>62146335>It’s just always rotated idk whyIt’s the metadata burro
>>62146335Yes, and if you crop it it won't rotate. I know you didn't.
>>62146342No. You can't print consistent enough groups to know if it had any effect. You've jumped straight ahead to boomer autism without taking the time to learn the basics. Get one of your new guns, dry fire practice, take a class or two, tighten your groups up.
>groups bad >must be the rifling
>>62144887I had a west german p230 for many years but got tired of it, sold the thing off for I think 5 dollars more than I paid.
2-3 inch group at 7 yards with irons, that should be a sufficient group to show proficiency. 3 inch is actually pretty fucking big for a 7 yard group but that depends on your skill with iron sights to make it smaller
>>62146400>Get one of your new guns, dry fire practice, take a class or two, tighten your groups up.That’s too practical for him. He would rather just larp.
>>62146308Never heard of a 9mm single action. Sounds pretty cool.Have heard really positive things about T&C. They, Pietta, and Uberti are the big players in reproduction revolvers.
>>62145435I owned a Compact L for a little while. Good enough for the range but too heavy for EDC. Went with Glock instead.
>>62146439Its a .357 gun with a 9mm cylinder, Uberti sells guns that come with both
>think .38 super is a hot round >find out that the range ammo that’s common is weaker than 9mm >self defense ammo is marginally better than 9mm guess I have to load my own
>>62145939Green dots are made to help people with astigmatism, if you don't have it you don't need to pay extra for that feature. A bigger dot will allow you to see the dot at a lower brightness level. The higher the brightness level the more the dot will be distorted by your astigmatism, so if you are one of us who suffers from the stigism you should get a larger dot. Larger dots, and reticles that are very large and busy like the holosun circle crosshair, are harder to use for distance shooting as the reticle covers most of the target. If you have astigmatism and a 2moa dot on max brightness appears to be 20moa to your eyes that may be a tradeoff you are willing to make.
Burt, what are your thoughts on the U22 Neos?
Just picked up a CZ P0-1. Any reputable holster companies?
Will a Glock 30S fit in a holster made for a 30, or do you need to get one specific for it? Seems like all companies make one or the other but not both
>>62146437You realize if I hadn’t emptied 100 rounds into the same target they would have been 2-3 inches. The placement between mags wonders a little since the “enhanced” front sight points a little low if I aim naturally so I always have to compensate by letting it poke up a little.
>>62146400What’s a good class?Is there an easy way to get CMP pistol lessons
>>62146580doubt this heavily, at any time you could have taken out your phone and taken a picture of a 2-3 inch group, even after reloading and resetting, your POA shouldn't change, well even if it did you should have a identifiable 2-3 inch group somewhere else.You're just making excuses for yourself
>>62146680>calling out the retarded twink on his bsbased
>>62146708like he shoots in an intentionally hard way, one handed, retarded technique, whatever, to mask his lack of skill in the fundamentals. So he can go "well it was one handed" "I was shooting powerpoint as fast as I can" "gunslingers who made a living on lying about their escapades said to do this in the 1930s when no one could call them out on their shit"

>>62146291If it’s been a whole day, and they still haven’t shipped my pistol, would there be anything wrong with me calling them tomorrow?
>>62147019fucking zoomers no. why the fuck would they ship a gun out in a day? do you understand how much volume online sellers have?
>>62147095no. I don’t understand.
>>62147019>zoomers so used to am*zon having chinkshit at their doorstep within 2 days they have a panic attack waiting for a shipping notification email
>>62147103firearm sales require more than just putting a thing in a box, they need to confirm the destination is a valid FFL, they need to log the exact serial number of the gun that's leaving in the black box with SOP to have two witnesses to make sure there is no issue since if they get it wrong then the ATF comes and shoots them and then revokes their license. Under Biden the ATF have looked for any reason they can to revoke people's licenses, minor paperwork mistakes have put shops in the bullseye. They need to do this for the hundreds of guns they sell a day or whatever

Got to finger fuck a bodyguard 2.0 today guys and oh no no that trigger is so bad. It's nowhere close to the other M2.0 triggers. Slide serrations and weight are good though. Also saw a guy pick up a PX4 because he tried one at the range and liked it. Based.>>62147570Yeah they got really mad for no reason but chill bro it'll be fine. This guy is right though >>62147216 lots of paperwork. Though most digital bound book software is pretty quick.
>>62146855> You may not like it but this is what peak 1911 performance looks like
>>62147706Man the px4 felt like an absolute wide brick in my hand. The guy at the counter also said it felt bulky.
>>62147766It's thinner than the 92 by little bit, the 92 has a better contour maybe because of the grip panels, the flatness of the PX4 does not do it any favors. They were probably chasing making the gun as thin as possible since people complained the 92 was too wide.
>>62147797Did they also have to make it as slippery as possible? Almost feels polished.
>>62147755>he dosn't have the horse
>>62147766It shoots pretty nice though. That's specifically why the guy said he got one. Just thought it was interesting since the PX4 seems fairly uncommon outside of here.>>62147801The grip texture is such fucking dogshit that they even include talon grips in the box on some models. Mind blowing levels of stupidity. Also if your grip is too aggressive just sand it down.
>>62147801They hired a professional concept designer to design the appearance of the 90-Two, PX4, CX4 (the carbine thing), and the Benelli MR1, you know. A guy who designs those stupid impractical concept cars and retarded fashion. Fucking italians. They do have this space age look to them though. >>62147818if it doesn't have the pony it's a phony. amen------------------USMC 1979-1979USPS 1980-201680,919 dollars donated to Israel to dateRIP Junior, he gave his life for our freedom 1985-2004C5 Corvette

I put a red dot sight on my handgun today. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow at the range.
>>62147706>Got to finger fuck a bodyguard 2.0 today guys and oh no no that trigger is so bad.That's funny, I had the opposite experience because I was comparing it to my other pocket pistols, and they all have horrible triggers.
>>62147818I took the cheap option. After I get a government gig I’ll get a colt gov.Tisas is unironically the best home defense 1911 as you can afford to lose it but it’s almost as good as the higher end 1911s.>>62147849That means my colt pockets are real and payriotic American

>>62147903What about 9mm browning?
>>62147902What other 1911s have you owned?
>>62147916he has not touched a single 1911 before this, he had no idea how thin they were and kept calling them "fat" when they're the same fucking thickness as his stupid colt pockets
>>621479160I decided to start cheap before trying a new type of gun. And I actually really like 1911s now. I’ve seen colt govs in 38super at good prices. Paul likes them. Maybe I’ll try one.
>>62147902>JUST>AS>GOOD
>>62147174Like what I did buy, or didn't buy? That Mamba on Handgunsoftheworld was one I didn't. I didn't buy a Swiss P2000 on Simpson either
>>62147921No, I said the Tisas was fat when it first came because it had thicker than spec grips.So I bought surplus military grips and now it handles good.It still is significantly fatter than the 1908 but still thin enough to one hand easily and the oval grip shape makes it point natural.So no, it’s already my favorite big gun and I don’t really expect it to be pocket sized nor would it be pleasant to shoot if it were. It’s an easily handled relatively powerful big gun.
>>62147927>almost as good> jUsT AS gOOdI got the almost from hikhok’s take. I want a cheap 1908 clone so I’m not afraid to use it.
>>62147883Ok yes I didn't compare it to other pocket pistols, I've held LCPs before but never felt the urge to dryfire it lol. It might be better than others. It's just not a great trigger like I expected. It's definitely shockingly light though.>>62147940NTA but I wouldn't consider them almost as good either. Fitment issues from factory, poor slide to frame fitment, etc. They're not bad though.
Does anyone own a Dan Wesson 1911?I hear the safety, slide lock and hammer rust easily, is it true?
>>62147940Just blast your brains out at this point, woman
Has Colt managed to improve their 1911s in the past few years? I've been meaning to pick up one of their stainless guns as I don't have a 1911 yet and I'm not looking to spend Dan Wesson money just yet.
>>62148545No
>>62148545No idea, do people even buy Colt 1911s anymore?They seem overpriced for what they offer and like you are mostly paying for the name

>>62144887I disagree because every semi auto handgun i fire feels the same and is rather boring, whereas revolvers can be unique and go up to really big cartridges and look cool and feel cool and using a revolver means you have a gargantuan sized cock and greasy balls
>>62146323does it shock you that people who arent fags like to have fun sometimes instead of training and worrying about something that'll never happen
>>62146323Every time I bring more than 50 rounds I wind up just doing retarded shit like mag dumping as fast as I can because I feel like I have to fire all I brought because its already there
im deformed and weak and retarded and born with 1 eye and 4'2 and 900 lbs. i have a sig sp2022, dont get to shoot much and maybe i just havent had the practice to adapt to slide guns or im just weak but this thing feels so fucking heavy and it rocks like ass (40), tried out a 92 or some shit similar that felt amazing, light, fit perfectly, real easy to pull slide. should i man up and get better with the 40 or switch to the other one
