Buffalo bore makes PPK go brrr edition Guide: https://files.catbox.moe/9g5sv2.pdfPastebin: https://pastebin.com/gs6mLNikLast episode: >>62505012
Subpar ergonomics, above par reliability :\
>>62512599They should just undercut the trigger a tiny bit more and round off the edges of the grip a bit. It's that simple.
>>62512613That would feel better for sure, but my gripes are with the grip angle and finger spacers
What Ben Stoeger brook should I buy?
What was your first handgun and why did you pick it?
>>62512686p365x . felt good in my hand, solid gun, ez conceal, cheap, and i learned what i did and did not like for my next purchase. go to a few different stores and finger fuck some guns, or rent a few different ones at a range or shoot a buddies.
>>62512663I have practical pistol reloaded, it's a good book if you want to get into USPSA or other competitive shooting. It mainly talks about just what to expect, stage planning, how your technique needs to be compared to normal shooting - shooting on the move is completely different where you cannot insure your feet are the same way every time.I think the dryfire books would be more applicable to the general audience, I don't have any so I don't know what exactly but he talks about dryfire drills in a few youtube videos and they look good. He also taught me that if you're dryfiring a DA/SA you must practice as if it was a DA/SA, you can't just pull the DA trigger over and over since that trains you for a DAO and not a DA/SA. For dryfire you have to mimic the SA trigger on the dead trigger.
What sidearm would be ideal to defend Midwestern car dealerships with?
I just found out I'm not supposed to dry fire my hellcat? What the fuck is this shit. It stays loaded mostly so I don't dry fire it anymore but- bruh. I thought all strikers were good to go on dry fire. I don't so much with my hammer fired guns but I guess I gotta order a bunch of snap caps
>>62512806Says who? Dry fire it all you want. I can't even begin to fathom the number of times I have dry fired mine and it still runs flawlessly on my weekend range trips.
>>62512918RIP.
SIG sisters, I shotted the blue gun today and it really really works! I put 100 rounds of Federal American Eagle 147 gr through it with no issues. In fact, it shot quiet well, very smooth! That one gut shot was my first shot. I did it single handed and left-handed just in case it blew up.Thanks for all the help, Burt!!!
>>62512957Yikes
>>62512957Is that fucking Xenogears
>>62512957Why
>>62512957Congrats dude, nice to see the elevation is on so it's easy to correct windage if you want>>62512994Oh no please don't tell me you don't shoot anon
>>62512957Ayyy my cat made it in
>>62512806I dry fire my Hellcat and my XDMs. If you're that concern, just use snap caps.
>>62513009Wait that's your cat???? NTA but I saved it a long time ago when it was posted assuming it was just a recycled reaction image. Epic OC anon.
>>62512806Wipe your camera off damn greasy ass mf
>>62512957Should have edited the twink's head on top but other than that nice anon.
>>62513019Yeah I'm really happy that picture of him gets around on the internet alot!
>>62512957I always wonder how this shit happens and what particular demographic may have been the cause.

>>62513049Thanks for reminded me to do my daily check for a USP Match and P2000sk on gun.deals and gunbroker
>>62513024My phone is 4 years old, the lense cover fell off and it barely works. My photos are shit, for sure.
>>62513049E
>Ben Stoeger
>>62512998No, that's Vierge. THIS is Xenogears.>>62513005Yeah, that's just how I shoot with every gun. I'm trying different things with my trigger finger. What seems to do better for me is REALLY getting it in there and trying to use my middle pad instead of my end pad.>>62513019Based! What's your cat's name? Their reaction is makes me giggle every time I see it.>>62513032>another anon with TDS (twink derangement syndrome)Sad.>>62513040Every bay is rattled to shit. I assume it's the young African-American males.

>>62510788>>62510927>Gold Guard is a rust preventative from lubeanon, cold blue is an acid solution you can get in hardware stores or gun suppliers that produces a quick black finish with poor durability but which helps retain oil longer than naked metal would>i got cold blue and would test it that autumn in outdoor tests, not a big fan of it but it might be a very good improvment when its holding a layer of protectant. I think very mild salt and a citric acid solution (not mixed) and natural outosdr storage in a barn should give a result. Its what everyone got so its worth to spend alot of steel on it to learn out of itBurt and Lube, I got a pen of Birchwood Aluminum Black touch-up pen at the range when I was there. Is that shit? Should I wait and buy something better to coat my feed ramp?>>62513049Damn, holla! I need to get an updated family pick now that I've got a stainless USPc. That stainless sparkle is so K I N O.
They look kinda cute together!
>>62512957Is the damage to the countertop also MS Paint'd in or is that from other rangetards?
>>62513177Your feed ramp is steel, your pen ia for Alu. That doesnt mean shit,maybe its rebranded and also works. Do a test and see if it works, but why do you want a blacked feed ramp? The feed ramp should be smooth and cold blue does exactly the Opposit, you still can blue the parts around it
>>62513223Do you always group a bit to the left? What was the range?
>>62513049Bazillionaire with the Mk23 and knights can, I summon you.
>>62513036Damn, that's a pretty majestic photo.>>62513231Other rangies. I make these shitty pics with my Samsung phone's stock image app, so no shooping skills that realistic.>>62513247>Your feed ramp is steel, your pen ia for Alu.Ah nuts. I should have kept the receipt so I can return the pin.>why do you want a blacked feed ramp? The feed ramp should be smooth and cold blue does exactly the Opposit, you still can blue the parts around itIdk senpai, I'm batting out of my league on this job. All I know is I should put *something* on the silver parts to protect it. Would you mind explaining to me like I'm retarded what exactly I should do, please?>>62513258Yes, I always do. I am working on it every week and I am getting a little better week by week.
Thinking of dipping my feet into CZ.I hear the trigger return spring wears out, sometimes after 2000 rounds sometimes after 10k, so you need to know how to replace it. The firing pin block retaining pin can also break. Any other wear parts I should know about?
>>62513319Take down pin I heard
>>62513294>Would you mind explaining to me like I'm retarded what exactly I should do, please?Sorry cant do, Im retarded myself
>>62513294>I am working on it every week and I am getting a little better week by week.I believe in you anon c:
>>62513177I notice you never post the right side of the USPTAluminum black might work but probably not but anything's better than nothing. Even paint
I dunno about you guys but I actually shoot better the faster I go. If I take like 10 seconds to line up each shot, my groupings is wider than if I pull the trigger every .75 to 1 second. I think I overthink it
>>62513405Nah. If I go fast I start slapping the trigger like a retard.
>>62513337iktf>>62513338Yay!>>62513398<_<; What would be ideal though? I don't mind just giving it a nice generous oiling tonight and then ordering something more permanent.>>62513405Maybe it's a mental thing then, where you start to over think it.>>62513426I feel like I actually shoot some guns better when I slap the trigger, but I know it's generally a bad habit, so if I notice I'm doing it, I'll stop it.
hate to get off topic but I know a few other users in this thread browse femboy generalWhere did it go? It’s not on /lgbt/ anymore
>>62513440Ideal would be nitrocarburizing it like it was, but you can't do that at home. Easiest thing to do at home would be to dab on paint it or cold blue, whichever you have. Degrease THOROUGHLY first though. I'm talking scorched earth the grease and oil from those spots with acetone or industrial degreaser or it won't take wellOr just oil it and watch for rust.
>get my first handgun only a month ago>already have an eye on several others I wantI hate this shit, happens with every new hobby I pick up. Wish I could enjoy what I already have for awhile before thinking of what to consoom next.
>>62513516Fullsize handgunCarry handgunShotgunRifleGet these 4 and then you'll have your needs met so you can splurge on supplementary firearms
>>62513464IdkI was one of the personalities from old femgen and haven’t been there for many years.I think it’s kinda famous for always dying.It was a cool, iconoclastic place tho
>>62513509LMAO I was wondering what you were getting at and I had to zoom in on your, because I completely forgot and OMFG I WANT TO KMS NOW.>Easiest thing to do at home would be to dab on paint it or cold blueWhat exactly is cold blue? That's what I was buying at the range today. They had a bottle of this stuff, https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/products/perma-blue-liquid-gun-blue-3-fl-oz-bottle.html. When I asked the clerk what the difference between that and the pen was, he said it's the same thing, just one is a brush and one is in a pen. I guess he was wrong though and I fucked up and got a pen for aluminum, when I should've bought something for steel. Is that correct?At any rate, I'll keep it well lubed for now. Right now I have white lithium grease, CorrossionX, Break Free CLP, and Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil. Does it really matter which one I use?I found Lubes' Gold Guard and Gun Oil Universal on Moka's Raifus (sounds 4chan adjacent enough to be the right thing). I'll order some of those for future use.

>>62513605Good luck, Anon. Hopefully the SHUSH act passes and leads to many more suppressors being sold
>>62513586There are many commercial versions of selenium dioxide/hydrochloric acid. It causes iron to oxidize and blacken creating a weak barrier to further oxidization. You can look it up, type doesn't really matter as much as good surface prep. Don't overthink itI don't know what the chemical difference is between Aluma Black and cold blue. it's possible they both use selenium dioxide, it won't hurt to try>>62513605That's extremely cool, my dream job!
>>62513541I do actually have all those except a full size which are what I've been looking at. All DA/SA too, those are lots of fun, just annoyed at myself for wanting something new so soon.
>>62513610based
>>62513516How often do you shoot it? How good of a shot are you? I suggest spending all your money right now shooting it like crazy. Once you master it, then look into a next gun. I say this as someone guilty of gunsooming, but it's sill good advice, especially for a newbie. The more experience you get, the better off your future purchases will be, because you'll know what kind of niche things to look for in a gun, beyond it looking cool or being in a video game.>>62513605Extremely based. GL!>>62513610Beautiful family photo!>>62513630Noted. Thanks for all the help, Burt.

>>62513705I remember ages ago all my nogunz friends would ask why I haven't bought an FN 57 because "the UN wants to ban it because it's so strong".
I wonder if Smith will make new calibers for the CSX since it's cool and I'm obsessed with it. Or even like a railed variation because it'd be funny.
this X300U-B I just got is not sitting flush on my 226, and my autistic ass cannot stand it.anyone ever take a dremel to the spacer of these things? I am wondering how deep is safe to go, trying to get this thing to sit pretty
>>62513705alternatively, if it's a buy here pay here type of joint, where you have to deal with a lot of cash business and unsavory types, then a stainless 1911 in .45 because robbery attempts will be a "when" not an "if" question and you want the nogs spreading stories of how big and scary your "blasta" is
>>62513690I've been going twice a week so I've put a few hundred rounds through my gun at this point, wouldn't say I'm good and that'll probably take awhile. Been going to shops to finger fuck stuff that's caught my interest too, found stuff I've both ended up liking and not liking as much as I'd hoped. I dunno I'll probably end up saying fuck it and get something in the next few weeks but I won't be too proud of myself.
>>62513819Posted a few times about how I'm not buying another gun until 2025 and I've stuck by my conviction. It helps if you focus on improving but the desire to gunsoom is ever present. I've seen some deals on used guns recently at my LGS that part of me regrets not pulling the trigger on
I got this with the PPK while running the 32 screw bullets. Will everyone stop laughing at my shooting skills now?Also PPU is unbelievably shitty, inaccurate, unreliable and not worth the money. Spend a buck or two more for S&B.
>>62513867I don't laugh at anyone that can crush a pie plate at 7 yards while magdumping. Anything else is superfluous
>>62513848I feel like used guns should be the exception. Sometimes there is simply a killer deal.
>>62513882My antique guns keyhole and have busted crowns
>>62513795Post a pic?
>>62513884If I see a good deal for a really rare gun like a Benelli B76 or Spohr Club Edition or something that I'll probably never see again in person in my life, I'll grab it.
>>62513867What distance?
>>62513884That's always been my mindset with other hobbies lol. Like one of my bass guitars that's become really desirable in the past couple years that I got for half of what they've been selling for or my motorcycle that I got at a crazy good price. Feels harder to find great deals for guns but I might just not be looking in the right places or the stuff I want just isn't being sold much secondhand. Especially locally where all I see are glocks or p365s.
After my pretty poor range session yesterday, I wanted to fix some things, and so I’m currently tinkering with my firing grip. Today I started using the medium backstrap instead of no backstrap, because I think I can get a bit better recoil control with more real estate for my support hand on the side of the grip. I had been avoiding using the backstraps because I feared my hands weren’t big enough, but as it turns out, my handletism was all in my head. The medium backstrap feels great, and my trigger finger indexes in essentially the same spot on the trigger as before. Hopefully this backstrap change, along with using the “floaty thumbs” method instead of indexing my support hand thumb on the side of the gun, will help my shooting going forward. As always, thanks for reading my blog. Also, shooting for groups is hard when it’s windy and the target is moving! >>>/wsg/5681121
>>62513962What do p365's run used?
>>62513795It can slide both directions anon. If you jew the spacer it's just going to let the light slide back and forth. Don't do that, use a different spacer
>>62512686P229, the first two guns I shot were a Glock 22 and a P229 in .40 and I just liked the P229 much more. I even got a P320 off of the reputation of the P22Xs, which I initially came to regret but have eventually made my peace with.
>>62514008My shop most recently sold one stock with case and 4 msgs for $300.
I always knew rugerfags were subhumanhttps://x.com/crazyclips_/status/1835408244317270039
>>62513970Vey nice! What part of your trigger finger do you use? Do you have any advice for me? I'm >>62513223 and >>62512957. I've been experimenting with different parts. If I use my end pad, it's really off. If use my crease, it kind of hurts. If I get get my finger deep enough in to start using my middle pad, I do better. I generally struggle with being too far right.>>62514087Baste. That looks so slick with a dot.
>>62513610What sights on the USPs?
>>62514174Uhm they're white so no. They could at least blow its head off with something bigger though.
Fucking Haitians hunting cats for sport kek. Unironically pitbull tier. Eating a cat is like robbing a delivery driver. Primitive. And you can't call it murder because animals can't murder.
>>62514182I use the pad of my finger, just past the crease, but I don’t think the exact positioning matters so much as keeping the index point consistent. If you can do that, you’re golden. If you’re continuing to push shots left, you might be jerking the trigger a tad. I’d recommend shooting off the trigger wall (rather than breaking through the whole of the trigger in one motion) to see if the problem goes away. This method of staging the trigger is obviously an impediment to shooting fast, but it can help you identify if that’s your problem or not.
>>62514174Raccoons are pieces of shit. Disease spreading motherfuckers.Save a possum, kill raccoons.
>>62513970Put up smaller targets and shoot holes through them first to let more wind through. Also for backstraps look at what benny boy has to say about hand placement and grip. He prefers to have a large section open for his support hand.>>62514210We should send them to a kill shelter :)
>>62514218possums are way more gross than coons
>>62514205this guy's white too, and of course, a subhuman piece of shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQcClf6NtZM

>>62514404uh no, I'm a sigger
>>62514214>keeping the index point consistentWhat do you mean by this?>I’d recommend shooting off the trigger wallAye, yes. That's mostly what I do.
>>625139617 yards. I shot slower than usual though since the ppk sights are tiny about a shot a second.I still one handed though.It genuinely could take small game Also other bullets were less accurate although SB was pretty good and buffalo bore and fiocchi were acceptable
Walther bros?
>>62514218>>62514334Based. I miss Dave
Guys... what's taking you so long. These EPIC 10th anniversary LTT 92s are still up for grabs!
I invented an speedloader for TBOunceOZ™https://files.catbox.moe/huzhd4.webm
>>62514496Cool. Now if the ounce was in 10mm.
>>62514496tf is this happy meal shit?

>>62512534>Buffalo bore makes PPK go brrr edition Based. I spent the day (driving to, from and ) at Nashville Supersneedway. Victor burnout pic related. QRD on the Franken PPK situation?Those grips are straight fire fr fr no cap and it seems to cycle well.
>>62514512Saw you post that bud.It was an alright race, tension basically died after Power couldn't remember how seat belts work, twice.
is the walther PPK/S .22lr a good range toy to fuck around with???
>>62514496Better patent that shit ASAP Burt
>>62514496How did you make that?>>62514541Too late, the DoD patent lawyers who lurk this general are already filing their patent.
>>62506448>Anyone into Tanfoglio? Local shop has some entry models they want to cycle out.Take em to the cleaners, anon. Tanfoglio/EAA is a top tier manufacturer with no name recognition in the states. It really is hard to do better. Unless they have a 6" Witness Hunter in 10mm or .45. Then you should let me buy it to save you the trouble.
>>62514523That's was absolutely devastating and it crushed the biggest drama of the race, but it was a decent race with some good racing occasionally. Herta took it to Newgarden pretty hard but couldn't get it done on track, and he made a nasty, nasty charger the the feild through back markers to catch and pass oward. The last 10 were kino AF with more action than I could keep up with. The most important thing is Newgarden didn't win. Had to leave the gat in the car, but after seeing security, I probably could have gotten it in.
>>62514512>QRD on the Franken PPK situation?I wanted a pre ban PPK since the bluing looks pretty, I’m worried panic buying will make unaffordable and fud lore claims they have incredibly well tuned triggers akin to a custom.So I got one with a 1960s frame and WW2 slide, I thought that’s okay since I want it for carry. I replaced the cracked Bakelite with white plastic and found it had good internals so I tried it out with different 32s. Buffalo bore ran fine out of it and the recoil was moderate. So did screw bullets which got incredible accuracy >>62513867Maybe the best thing about it is the triggers are genuinely very smooth. The smoothest I’ve held. So pre ban small PPs are surprisingly viable for carry.
>>62512663I have Dryfire Reloaded and it's fine, but honestly the full class videos on his channel have done way more for me.>>62512686Glock 19 because I'm boring and wanted something drama-free and easy to do armorer-level maintenance on.
>>62512686canik tp9 elite sc. it was cheap as fuck
>>62513516Think about it in terms of military procurement and trying to explain to your mental budget committee how the new gun is better enough or different enough than the one(s) you already have to justify the expense.
>>62513795Go as deep as you feel necessary—worst case you have to email Surefire about your busted tailcap and wait for the free replacement to come in the mail.
Anyone ever used this stuff before? My tritium night sights are dead. Thinking about painting over them with this stuff instead of spending the cash to buy new sights entirely.
lol wtf
>>62514698I do. I used it on my 1908 iron sights and nugget revolver iron sights and more. It boosts the visibility. Maybe I’ll do that to my PPK since it’s biggest flaw is tiny sights
>>62514713>>62514698Also they come off with impacts so you get what you pay for.Wipe off the steel well with alcohol to make them stick as best as possible
>>62514261Possums > raccoons >>> "outdoor" cats

PSA or GrabAGun if I have to order a fun since local shops don't have it?>>62509445Did everyone forget the omega trigger is shit and was only marginally okay in the plastic pistols?Also most people hold CZs incorrectly, including the guntubers that no longer have a discernible wrist. If you don't choke that bitch high with all the extra frame you have, then it kicks a lot.>>62512957Very nice anon.>>62513319Mostly those. Trigger spring is random fatigue, seems to take at least a year, doing the replacement will need the floating pin however. You can inspect the retaining pin for failure, light will not be visible through it if it's failing. But it only fatigues if the chamber is empty, so get some snap caps.>>62513335Only if you get a dainty recoil spring.
>>62514755based and deceptipilled.
>>62514698Works fine, but it also fades.

>>62515368That G2/Vltor mount combo was my original AR light setup (Budget ran a little low after the CompM2/Larue mount) many years ago. Found it a few minutes ago while digging through a tote of random gun parts/gunsmithing specific tools for something totally unrelated. Naturally my first thought was. "I wonder if this will fit on my VP9.."
>>62513610Based Steyr and Teutonic appreciator. >>62513795I had the same problem with it on my Glock and I did just that. Now it’s nice and level. It was a good fit on my Sig. >>62514087The P229 really shoots soft with .40, great choice. >>62514182Yeah I’m not dot crazy but it works on the P229.
>>62515385He didn’t seem into PPKHe only likes colts
>>62515505Think the problem isn't the guns so much as it is the sniveling dipshit he has for an owner
>>62514191Dawson. I probably should have put night sights on the .45 but eh
Range day yesterday, first time in probably 9 months, bring son, daughter and her boyfriend that has never fired a gun, boyfriend shoots more accurately than me.

>>62515701Spend more time on dryfire, and it might be time for some glasses. Christ knows it was a hell of a lot easier when I was 15 and had perfect vision.
>>62512643>>62512613And better slide serrations and grip texture like all the aftermarket stuff/work. Whenever I tried a Glock the first time it was too slippery because my hands were a bit sweaty, the heat index hits over 100°F most days of the year where I live. Same reason why I can’t carry blued pistols, heat and humidity.
>>62515926Back when I carried a glonk I had a local skate shop cut some grip tape for the slide. Scared the hell out of the customers when I opened the case.
>>62512686Smith and Wesson Model 10. I thought revolvers were cool and wanted to get the quintessential service revolver. Walked into a gun store and asked for that pistol and they happened to have this used one for sale in basically mint condition. Then Obama got elected and a year or so later I saw Model 10s on sale in worse condition for near double what I paid for mine.
>>62515878What’s wrong? It genuinely handles much better than my LCPAlso it’s a Kurz Polizeipistole
>>62513705No. It’s the US. Threat model is pavement ape.>>62512771Something concealable so you don’t limit your sales opportunities. Anti-gun retards won’t buy from you if they can see that you value your safety and wish to take reasonable precautions to defend yourself. Beretta 80X is a great pistol and easily concealable, you can have a New York reload of an S&W J-frame or Ruger LCR loaded with .38 Federal HSTs that goes in your pocket.
>>62516029>Also it’s a Kurz Polizeipistolegonna need a source on that. I've always read it stands for Polizeipistole Kriminal.
>>62516038I know it does but the Kurz definition not only makes sense but also sounds funny
>>62515191Good, responsible cats.>>62515356Anon, that light isn't made for pistols. Replace it with ax X300 and get a Phlster Floodlight or any other holster. VP9 + X300 should have plenty of options.>>62515505PPanon, stop replying to those petty posts that just spew hatred. They're pathetic people who are unworthy of ever getting a (you). They shit up this general and you replying just gives them an in to doing it again. Simply ignore them, please.>>62515701Sorry to hear you got so emasculated. I can only imagine the shame you must be feeling rn.
>>62516053retard
>>62515918>and it might be time for some glassesYeah, I couldn't see my hits at 25 yards and don't really want to buy those neon splatter targets >>62516060>I can only imagine the shame you must be feeling rn.ehhh it just means I need to stop being so lazy and devote more time to it
>>62512806Dry fire practice is something everyone should be doing with their carry gun. It helps you train away flinching if needed and prevents flinching from developing. It also trains you to feel where the trigger breaks and resets. Pair it with a laser bullet or similar product and you can do target practice while you dry fire practice for free in your underwear without having to leave your goon lair. The only things you shouldn’t dry fire are rimfire guns because it blunts the firing pins or antiques because the metallurgy may be questionable and you don’t want to break the firing pin. Even then a lot of rimfire guns are seemingly designed to be dry fired seeing as the manufacturer didn’t design them to hold the bolt open when the last round is fired and I’ve never heard of an old gun’s firing pin breaking from being dry fired. Not dry firing a gun make be complete “5.56 tumbles through the air” fudd bullshit.
>>62516098You shouldn't dryfire a 75 series CZ
>>62516083The first time I took my fiancé to the range to handle her first handgun she absolutely mogged me relative to where I was when I started shooting. I think learning from someone who knows modern fundamentals + not having bad habits baked in from youth makes a big difference
I haven't been to the range in 6 months and I'm going with some newbies next week. They are literally all noguns that want to get into guns and I'm the only person with guns they know. If I get logged by some n00b I'll never live it down.
>>62515505Weird, mine likes Walthers
>>62515701Lol, this happened with me and my mom who has fired a pistol only a handful of times in her life. Admittedly I was testing out a red dot on my pistol for the first time and the damn thing wouldn’t turn on so I was basically point shooting (the pistol doesn’t have a red dot on it anymore). Also my mom is apparently a natural with a pistol.
>>62512686Springfield XD-s. I wanted a carry gun and wonder 9’s with 12+ rounds didn’t exist yet. Honestly it was a very shoot able pistol that pointed very naturally for me
>>62516303Cute!!>>62516408Damn, that ODG Glock looks so good.
>>62516083They're not super expensive if you get the non-adhesive ones, worth it.
>>62512534what is everybody's opinion on polish jobs?I've got match springs and a new trigger for the VP9 and while I'm doing surgery on it, I'm thinking of taking some polishing compound to the transfer bar and other trigger contact points since my VP9's trigger is gritty and I hate the stackingnot going to dremel it or any other retarded shit>>62514461>>62515383I got two of the final edition not only because I wanted a spare if one ever commits seppuku but also because it would be hilarious to own the "final edition" if they reintroduce it at some point in the future
I know this is completely irrational but I dislike the Walther PDP because it looks really generic and lame. I know it's a good gun but a gun has to have some sex appeal to me and the PDP is like a middle aged Mormon.
>>62516735As far as I'm concerned that's part of any trigger job.If you're playing with light springs, then somewhere along the firing process you're losing energy to strike the primer. So to remedy that somewhat, you reduce as much mechanical friction/energy loss as you can.
>>62516770>If you're playing with light springs, then somewhere along the firing process you're losing energy to strike the primerI didn't make that connection but I'm assuming it's of less importance with the VP9 since it's a fully-cocked strikerit'll just be sear spring and trigger return spring, not fucking with the striker assy or any of the associated springs
>>62516098It's weird though the hellcat manual says: "NOTE: Extensive dry firing can accelerate component wear/stress. Use snap caps if dry firing on a regular basis"
>>62516843I don't use snapcaps. Is it actually worth it?
>>62512686FN FS9I miss it tremendously, I had the two-tone. Such a nice gun. Had a friend hold on to it while I was deployed and that junkie fucking sold it.I hate the opiate crisis.
>>62512686PPK/S. I was really into James Bonds movies and games as a kid.
>>62514640So it is working well? I'm really glad to hear that. We've been talking about this since before you bought it btw. I have the stainless S&W made .380 with the black wood grips.Anyway, I saw a pic of your safety detents and they are pretty worn. If it stays locked in the safe position you're good, but you might consider picking up on of these.https://www.legacy-collectibles.com/sw040123-01-1.htmlI also have that PPK gunsmithing video I mentioned and I'm watching it right now. You really need to see it. It includes a presentation on bunch of cool old Walther memorabilia and accessories, including some caliber reduction kits for shooting 4mm target ammo inside, so other Walther friends may find it interesting. I used qbittorent to download load just AGI 136 Walther PPK and FEG PA63 in about 20 minutes. https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=6850294They have a ton of other videos including an armorer course for the Beretta 92 and Colt 1911. There is also a 4 part video on how to pimp the fuuug out of a 1911 including how to hand fit every single component.
>>62516849>I don't use snapcaps. Is it actually worth it?Yeah, IDK exactly what the failure mode is with the Hellcat, but it's probably more than whatever a pack of snap caps cost.
>>62512686> Glock 26 Gen 4Needed something concealable that could cover multiple different dress styles. Being a poor college student it’s what I could afford at the time. Also, the ability to use the larger double stack magazines was a plus until I saved up enough to purchase a Glock 17.
>>62514640Not being a douche...are you really comfortable depending on .32? I am not.
>>62516999You are talking to a twinkoid that believes .32 is more lethal than 9mm
>>62517009Okay point taken.
>>62516999I accidentally memed him into believing that penetration is the only thing that matters (it’s not, but it’s a key factor in lethality).
>>62516999He is dedicated to that caliber and it's his ass on the line, so whatever. He has cool old guns I like, so I just engage with him in good faith. He also pays for premium ammo, so he should be getting adequate penetration, which some defensive ammo in larger calibers don't and there is something to be said for low recoil.
>>62512686My class pistol. Got into funz at West Point and thought a shiny 1911 went well with my ring
Any siggers have issues with rust on their p365s? Im a cunthair away from saying fuck it and getting a glock instead. I like the idea of modularity and the triggers have felt nice on the x's when handled them at my FFL but theae things seem like they're riddled with problems.
>>62517165My P365XL developed little spots of surface rust on the magazines after I left them in my car trunk in the rain overnight. The surface rust came off with just a wipe of CLP, though. I haven’t had any rust issues with the sights, as others have. I’d recommend wiping it down with CLP or oil regularly if you live in a humid area.
>>62517165I wear an undershirt and haven’t had any issues and I carry 5+ days a week every single week. My buddy who doesn’t wear an undershirt has spot rust all over his p365. It’s a good pistol with lots of options to customize to your liking.
>>62517165Just get a P365 stainless. It can still rust, but it is way, way less likely.
>>62517198I live in the Rust Belt, so sounds like it'll get fucked in the winter. 43x it is
>>62515701>>62516155>>62516367>>62516240Gun virgins don't overthink grip, trigger finger placement, stance etc, they just line it up and shoot like your supposed to
>>62516888TY frienI’ll try getting the part then ditto videoMy impression has so far been very positive. It’s like you crossed my favorite parts of the 1903 with an LCP.>>62516999YeahTBF the gap between +p/european 32 and 380 isn’t that big and it actually penetrates more reliably than 380 out of an LCP.Also to my relief PPK handles buffalo bore just fine so it’s basically an 8 shot 32 magnum pistol. Which yeah, feels like enough. I could have gone 380 but the 32 PPK seems to be much easier to handle.>>62517093I don’t see how somebody walks away from a couple of these to the sternum that’s true.I need to source +p screw bullets since that design had freakish accuracy btw
>>62517285You need to handload and maybe you'd understand something about internal and external ballistics.
>>62512686Kahr K9. I wanted something that was easy to conceal in 9mm but still weighed at least as much as a full-size glock, which was about the limit of my newbie recoil tolerance. this narrowed my options down to real steel single stacks, and it was the mid-00s where everyone insisted that the 1911 was an unreliable piece of shit unless you were willing to spend $$$$ and many many trips to your gunsmith. maybe that was even true, idk, the gun industry was just barely recovering from its clinton-era nadir, and all the 1911 boomers would defend it in holy wars of forumposting then immediately turn around and talk about all the custom work and tuning they were getting done on every one of those things. S&W autos were still around, but shitting on DA/SA funs was also the order of the day back then, so my dumb nogunz ass didn't even consider what would probably have been my best option in the era. the Kahr was just love at first fingerfucking, though, nice and weighty in the hand with factory Hogue grips and its slightly heavy but super smooth and consistent trigger. eventually fell for the capacity meme and traded it for a G26 but god I still miss that thing sometimes
>>62517209>>62517198RIP
>>62517285>I’ll try getting the part You might want to check the detent plunger, too. That's the pointy bit in pic related. I doubt it will be problematic, but it's a good idea to check. >It’s like you crossed my favorite parts of the 1903 with an LCP. Nice, very nice. Are you getting any hammer/slide bite? I get slide bite especially when I use a modern 2 handed grip. It's vastly more effective to follow up shots, so I shoot it like that mostly. but it beats up my thumb at the base.What's the coin?
>>62516849The most useful thing to do with snap caps is to mix them into a magazine so that you can practice clearing stoppages and to make sure you aren’t flinching when you shoot.
>>62517294I don’t want to risk a gun with hard to acquire parts. I’m not going to continuously shoot buffalo bore either now that I know it’s safe and manageable either>>62517390TyI had no slide bite although I only shot one mag two hands. I think the lower recoil means my hand is less likely to creep up and get bit. Or maybe it’s my hands not being large IDK.The PPK feels like a one hand gun mostly anyways.>coinIt’s a silver half mark from the imperial era https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/germany-empire-1-2-mark-km-17-1808-7-1919-1619-cuid-1132421-duid-1313064
>>62516999Checked. WW1 soldiers used to raid enemy trenches with .32s, Anon. And Teddy Roosevelt used to keep one in his nightstand. Also 32s have basically no recoil so follow up shots are easy, especially in tiny concealable guns where there is a lot more recoil and not much grip to control it with. A .32 is only questionable if we’re carrying a single shot pistol for some reason.
>>62516735I consider it bubbary. You're removing material, typically removing some or all of the hardened skin on small parts which are typically stamped or MIM then case hardened, exposing the soft cheese metal underneath to wear. You're changing geometry and interfaces possibly making the gun unsafe. And you're not going to get rid of stacking or clicks or plasticky feeling just by polishing, though if you know what you are doing you can get rid of some kinds of "grit." Most people don't know what they're doing though, they just zip everything with a dremel until it looks like it spend 2 years in a rock tumbler and then forget how to put the gun back together, doing the walk of shame to the gun store with a bag of parts
>>62517198I have never seen anyone use a barrel flag before
>>62517536>I think the lower recoil means my hand is less likely to creep up and get bit. Or maybe it’s my hands not being large IDK.You are most likely handing it wrong.>The PPK feels like a one hand gun mostly anyways.youre going to get someone unintentionally killed one day. nta but I'm going to start ignoring you now.
>>62517553Good MiM parts are thru-hardened. They are not like the sintered steel parts of Colt's yesteryear.The amount of metal taken off is negligible when using felt and flitz.
I'm getting better at dry firing, but I'm looking for ways to improve on the process. I'd like to dry fire with a magazine in to better approximate my grip with live ammo but the slide catch engages because I'm obviously not practicing with a loaded magazine. How can I prevent this? I realize I'm essentially asking how to intentionally induce a malfunction, but I'm hoping there's a safe and simple method that can be easily reversed when I'm ready to go back to the range. Using a P365X if that helps.
>>62517584Do it with an empty magazine.
>>62517606I meant, empty the magazine. Take out the follower and spring.
>>62517613Dusty third magazine, prepare for dissection in the name of progress. Good looking out, anon.
>>62517561It’s required at all the boomer ranges I frequent.
>>62517553>>62516735The only things people should think of polishing themselves are where two flats surfaces slide on each other, like lapping a surface. And then they should only use a stone. With power tools like a dremel you have the chance of things to go very badly very quickly and guns are small expensive things that you don’t want that to happen with. And how much would polishing really improve the feel over a dab of grease, anyway? It could just be a big risky pain in the ass for little benefit.
>>62517562I’m handling it like picrel and the recoil is low enough that I don’t need a second hand and the small grip size and frame would limit grasping points anyways Also doubtYou’d pretty much have to lunge at me to get me to shoot you
>>62516116What's wrong with dryfiring CZs?
>>62517681That’s gay. I hate boomer range officers that pretend to be kings. The ultimate arbiters of what gets to transpire on their range fiefdom. I had one old faggot at my gun club come up to me and keep implying that I wasn’t a member and I was trespassing when I was a member in good standing, I just didn’t have that year’s badge pinned to my chest because you were expected to print and laminate it yourself which was a pain in the ass and nobody ever did.
>>62517719>>62516116Apparently the firing pin retaining pin is a roll pin and not solid steel so it can deform from dry firing more than would happen during regular use.
>>62517562Just realized I made it sound like I grip it too low, I don’t. But if my experience with overloaded rounds on the PPS means anything heavy recoil makes your hand slip up and the shallow tail on the PPK means it could slip past the guard and get bitten by the slide hard.So that’s what I mean when I say I don’t want my hands to slip up.The 32 recoil is low enough, even on buffalo bore that it doesn’t ride up
Benbros...
>>62517776Maybe, how many bullseye and IHMSA competitions has he won?
>>62517776He’s right though.
>>62517776>secrets cabaret t-shirttop laff
>>62517781>>62517776His point is that groups are mostly a measure of how mechanically accurate a gun is, and has zero relevance for the type of training a competitive shooter does where there are multiple targets, switching, a timer, dynamic movement, etc. All that matters is hitting the target, how wide or tight you can space 2 bullets is meaningless. It's a good point.
>>62517795He practices target focus shooting at strip clubs, the red dot is the stripper, you have to focus on the background behind the stripper.
>>62517776Laser anon BTFO'd. But for real I like shooting groups, I ain't a competition shooter.
>>62516060You know you could just ask for his discord if you wanted to suck his cock so bad
>>62517706First of all, don't go for such low quality bait and second >>62517536>Or maybe it’s my hands not being large IDK. That's probably at least part of it. I have big fat ham fists despite only being a little overweight (BMI of 27). You can see in this pic that my hand is in the way a little on the left side of the gun. A modern 2 handed grip makes it much worse.You should seriously be using a two handed grip primarily. It allow you to get back on target faster. I still shoot one handed with both hands just for the practice (there are many reasons you might need this experience) but two hands are better. I am seriously just trying to help you, but do whatever you want.>You’d pretty much have to lunge at me to get me to shoot youYou shouldn't shoot anyone unless they have a gun or knife, generally speaking. You can always say you didn't want to lose control of the gun, but that isn't a great defense. The legal standard where I live is "credible fear of death or grievous bodily harm."I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
>>62517838I watch Ben’s videos religiously, m8, and I don’t disagree at all with his point that group shooting isn’t super relevant for comp. I shoot for groups because that’s essentially all I can do at my local boomer ranges that limit you to one round every two seconds, with no shooting from a holster, etc. It’s sorta like how practicing free throws or threes with no one guarding you isn’t going to make you into a complete basketball player. That’s why I also go to the action range every couple of weeks to work on practical shooting.
>>62517536>It’s a silver half mark from the imperial eraI thinknthis is a Wiemar note. I have some other German coins form before the Euro. IDK what most of it is. Someone just gave it to me.
>>62517492That is way cheaper than buying a 1911.
>>62517910Boomers are seriously the worst
>>62517801There are more competitions than USPSA, IDPA, and other tactical larp shooting.Bullseye shooting is for identifying a particular load a gun likes. It makes a substantial difference, like 3" vs 1" at 25 yards. Extrapolate those measurements out to 100 yards and you're looking at 12" at 100 yards vs 4". Bullseye shooting is also how you master the fundamentals of pistol shooting in general.You want real world practical? Hunting the alternative methods season in a given state is something you'll actually apply to the real world.
>>62517944>fr ong ayoooooooo no cap w>>62517567>>62517688Yeah this, I don't think most people have the self control to only touch the tip. I've done dremel jobs and not really seen much benefit from it
>>62517801>zero relevanceHe says the two are correlated, just not as much as you'd think. He also says in a different video that you should be able to never miss the A-zone at 15 yards untimed before attending any PSTG class, because if you can't do that, you need to work on your rudiments.
>>62517969>practical shooting>100 yard handgun accuracyPlease stop
>>62517991In his defense, the USPSA scenario of consecutively double tapping a dozen unmoving, unarmed targets conveniently arrayed in front of you using a race gun and race holster and minimum power factor ammo isn't exactly rooted in reality. USPSA is a fun and challenging sport, but it's a sport nonetheless.
>>62517986Man, that is a parenting failure right there. If you make it to your teens without knowing how to feed yourself, that's on your parents.
>>62517991>100 yard handgun accuracy I like to shoot pistols up to 100 yards, mostly like 50 though. I wouldn't say it's practical or that I'm good at it though. It is fun.
>>62512686P80 g26 I was 18 at the time and underestimated what I could comfortably conceal
>>62518006You don’t have to use a race gun and underpowered loads eitherYou can absolutely use your edc with your edc holster, full power loads, and shove your backup mags in your pocket
>>62518006If you are going to shit on Ben Stoeger for "muh practicality" then going on to bring up 100 yard handgun shooting in the same breath is straight up retarded.Yeah, comp shooting isn't practical shooting, but it is more practical than group shooting, and more practical than 100 yard handgun shooting.
>>62518009Boomers and gen x love to make fun of millennials and gen z for not possessing skills they decided to not pass downGen z can’t write in cursive? Because you took it out of our curriculum Millennials can’t drive a stick shift? Because you failed to teach us howGen a can’t read an analog clock?Once again the older generations failed to pass down this knowledge
>>62518048No, you don't have to abide by the gamified stance of USPSA, but if you want to win, you probably ought to. That's what initially made Rob Leatham successful thirty years ago. He treated USPSA like a game, and immediately dunked on all of the guys rooted in practicality.
>>62518006Ben primarily shoots production class since it was the most interesting to him and had the closest thing to actual duty guns
>>62512686I actually don't remember. Growing up I would shoot my dad's. When I went off to college and moved out of the dorm my father "loaned" me his Ruger NM Blackhawk. After than I'm unclear of my early pistol purchases. I think my first was a Heritage Roughrider 22. I also bought a Taurus PT22, a Hi-point C9, and a Nagant M1895 while still in college.
>>62518070To be fair, you can find a YouTube video to explain every one of those things.I just learned something watching this.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kVYrWJqxejU&pp=ygUYaG93IHRvIHVzZSBhIGNhbiBvcGVuZXIg
>>62518070My favorite bit is how they always mention participation trophies. Nigga what age group was handing out those participation trophies to the millennials? God damn they are truly the worst generation ever. Ever their "owns" against others are indictments of themselves.
>>62518089Sorta, he shot Production because that's where the big fish lived ten years ago, and he wanted the most heat possible, which is commendable.I'd hardly call a 43 oz Tanfo Stock a duty gun, and that's what he won Worlds with AFAICR.
>>62518092I learned something from this one https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Dp8AkOaTPDbW3pB4
how does the steyr m9a2 stack up against other polymer framed striker fired pistols in the 500ish dollar price range
>>62518121It looks cool
>>62518121Man tha looks fucking great with the long slide and RMR.>$500They were $350 not too long ago. It's a good gun with quirky sights, a weird soft trigger reset, and no aftermarket support. It's alright.
>>62518121It doesn't come OR. You have to get it cut, it also doesn't come with those sights and it has shit aftermarket support, but its a good gun.

>>62512686Unironically a Glock 17L. I was just getting into guns at the time and I was resolved to buy a nice practical gun for training and do it all. Then I saw a Glock 17L in the used case and it's one of my grail guns from Black Lagoon. Couldn't pass it up, didn't expect to find one that early so it was literally the first handgun I bought.

IDK if this stuff is any good or what might be better, but if you feel like researching and trying it out, I'd be interested to hear back on it.https://www.ebay.com/itm/202797989546?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iPFKMMQJR0m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hnwpDSKcRuO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

>>62518470When you run .357 or .38+p does the backstrap of the grip annoy you with the recoil? I had to change grips on my 905, somehow the rubber squares actually felt sharp with recoil.
>>62518338>I need to do this. I just have an obsession with being able to handle any carry gun with one hand so I ran my test that way Well, you will default to what you practice most under stress, just remember that, but these guns were designed when one hand shooting was the thing to do.>Your sights look much better than mine.and they are still kinda shit
>>62518487Never ran .357 mag, but .38+p did feel like a lot. I didn't shoot it a lot and it was a while ago, but I do remember the backstrap pattern in my palm. It wasn't pleasant to shoot.What grips did you go with?
>>62518502Hogue rubber, the 6700s. Took me forever to find the green ones in stock at the time. I'm thinking of getting a set of of wood "detective" stile grips but it shoots nicely with the Hogue.
>>62518171It is. It's silly and stupid and ridiculously impractical. Ostensibly it was a competition gun (longer sightlines, increased muzzle velocity) but there's only one class you can even shoot it in. I love it.
>>62518358Nice VP9T!>>62518453Whoa, look at the smug little guy!
>>62518424Based and Hemmingway pilled, but you forgot bull fighting.
>>62518431>That anime is cringe and gay. I had to turn it off from embarrassment.Pretty much this on every anime>>62518533Huehuehue
>>62518633I used to be okay with Upoop myself but goddamn its a grind to watch with a fully developed frontal lobe sober. Ill stick to Patlabor or Otaku anime
>>62518533>Hogue rubber, the 6700s.Ah nice. I like the look of the taurus grips, but they're a bit too uncomfortable. I feel like wood grips that expose the backside would be more uncomfortable to shoot. Though, they sure look nice.
>>62518656The hogue grips expose the steel backstrap too but they fill the hand better and end up being more comfortable. I'm tempted to put the factory grip in the freezer then sand down the texture on the back.
>>62512686P30l, was chosing between the vp9 and P30 and the P30l felt the beat

Dumb question but doesn't eventually the front sight on your handgun take up so much of the target at 100 yards it's hard to tell exactly where you'll put it?
>>62518846Yes. That’s why red dots are better.
>>62518846What do you think a 6pm hold is actually for?
>>62518846If you're unironically trying to use your iron sights to shoot at 100 yards, then your irons should be easily visible and very narrow. It is implied that if you can land an aimed shot at 100 yards, then you can hipfire fine at 20 yards, so you effectively don't need sights at all at that point.
>>62518876>>62518887>>62518894I just always see Hickok45 hit the gong with irons and that's 80 yards away
>>62518894Narrow doesn't matter, all you need is alignment and POA because the POI should be above the front post.
>>62518925Gong is big. >>62518894>It is implied that if you can land an aimed shot at 100 yards, then you can hipfire fine at 20 yards, so you effectively don't need sights at all at that point.what? This is “what?” In the manner that I’ve heard something fucking retarded. I am not asking you to elaborate or defend your position, I’m just confused someone would say or type this drivel
Hahahahahaha
>>62518955I don't get it
>>62518955still would like to know what safety is on that ak
>>62518203>>62518286It's my favorite practical HK. Though I don't carry one (too fat), I think it's one of the best products HK has made. It's "fine" across the board but it's the one product they have that's the "right" size, and until recently it was one of the cheapest HKs too. It's just a mini P30, which is to say roughly similar trigger to a USP (on balance, one has a better DA the other a better SA) but with better ergos>>62518846When you aim for small things at closer range such as a tiny bullseye you center them on the flat top of the front sight, you don't center the front sight on the target. At 100y the thing you're aiming at is likely much smaller than a front sight at arm's length, and at that distance you would also need to aim about a foot high for bullet drop. That would be the real problem, as the front sight then occludes the target and you're aiming at open space above the target, which you can't see. Still in a calm environment it's not very difficult to aim at a point above your target, unless the backdrop is featureless like an open skytl;dr yes
>>62518955I like that rifle.
>>62518961its pp's boyfriend starting shit ignore.
>>62518976nta but its pretty meh
>>62518969A 250gr Keith in 44 Magnum has right at .2 BC, 1400fps muzzle.It's only 6"- 8" low at 100 yards.
>>62518992>filenamehe is a confirmed homodefender
>>62518997t. Homo who can’t enjoy a classic retro rifle Only thing he’s missing is a M68 aimpoint.
>>62518976Your image negates your opinion.

>>62519029>No optic>m4ish stock with a cheap pad he ziptied to it>modified a2 grip that he covered with hockey tape>FSB>carbine length gas system on a 16" barrel>running a metal mag>govt profile barrel>sling mounted to the FSB incorrectly, there is literally a place to mount it on the bottomfuck pp anon and his fag orbiter. I'm just saying the rifle is kind of meh. No need to get faggy about it.
>>62519029>Only thing he’s missing is a M68 aimpoint.Money ran out after the Under Armor operator boots.
>>62519076I'm surprised you don't have em touching tips.
>>62519103kek. idk why that made me laugh, so stupid lol
>>62519080Everything you listed is peak performance >car-15 stock with rubber pad zip tiedKino, just like the builds pre M4>modified a2 gripHe’s probably too busy being based to dremel the tumor off>FSBPerfect >carbine length gas Perfect >metal magPerfect >govt profile barrelWhat? He should buy some garbage ballistic advantage barrel to replace it?>sling mounted incorrectly Are you retarded, that’s a terrible place to mount a sling >>62519103I did a picture like that and I really regret it
>>62519080>carbine length gas system on a 16" barrel For me, that's the worst part.
>>62519146Foot fetish Beretta over payer.>Take me seriously
>>62519168
>>62519146>Everything you listed is peak performance not really, but I get your point>What? He should buy some garbage ballistic advantage barrel to replace it?no, but it is M E H. Especially with that gas system length. You want at least a mid length gas system for 16" barrel. I have to assume it's in that configuration because of our retarded laws.>Are you retarded, that’s a terrible place to mount a sling are you retarded? do you not see how he has it "mounted".
>>62519210>but it is M E H.He posted this because I called him out for only posting his Roland Meme Special. This was literally his proof he had cool guns. After we bullied him for that he went and got his step dad's guns and he thankfully fucked off after getting called out on that.
>>62519210Bottom of FSB sucks since it tries to flip the rifle over when you let it free hang. Mounting it top style like that keeps the rifle orientation when hanging.I think it’s an impressive rifle since someone took the time to get all those components since you could just buy a modern rifle with free float, mid length, etc off the rack. If that’s a real KAC drop in quadrail and broom handle grip it’s even cooler. Early-mid GWOT build, the car-15 stock with rubber butt pad is something specific to Delta since I remember Blackhawk down “Gordon Carbines” use it but the real one is a metal stock with the rubber bonded/molded to it. >>62519245I think you’re an absolute fucking loser if you took the time to repost his rifle to laugh at it. Out of no where. Why? What do you want /hg/ to be? How much money can you spend on things? How meta is your build? A lot of people don’t like PPanon, but people didn’t post their guns or identifying information about which poster there are since they would not like their /hg/ identity associated with toxicity
>>62519080>>62518992>>62519011>No no you can’t just have fun with your clapped out old guns in a handgun gen!>hahaha Buffalo bore makes PPK go brrr Literally mind broken
>>62519146>carbine length gas >Perfect LoL wut? Mid or full length plus with BUIS only you want that sight radius, unless he kicking in doors with those LARP boots, I guess.>govt profile barrel How else is he going to mount a grenade launcher, kek>sling mounted incorrectly Lol, yeah and he kept the sling swivel. Look, I'll be nice and share one of like 10 different ways to do it better.Everything about that image says>I will get you killed in a gun fight.
>>62519168excuse me zhe is quite clearly a nylon fetishist first and foremost
>>62519296I think his sling is hooked through the FSB and he has a ranger band at the barrel nut to secure the sling when unslung.>I will get you killed in a gun fight.Very few things about how you set up your rifle matter for a gunfight. The only real issue is the lack of an optic but clearly the rifle is set up to accept one. The estrogen really has gotten to your head
>>62519271>Bottom of FSB sucks since it tries to flip the rifle over when you let it free hang.Good point. In that case, he could get a rail mounted QD mount point, if he has the space.>Early-mid GWOT buildI didn’t consider this context. In that case, yeah, I was bit critical. I just assumed he had it for self defense.
>>62519271>I think you’re an absolute fucking loser if you took the time to repost his rifle to laugh at it.It's just to illustrate a point and maybe help LoLand Special LARPerator see what it's like, but that would require some self awareness.
>>62519285See >>62517562You go beyond having fun with old guns, you make up all sorts of mental gymnastics why they’re the best and then come here and share that insanity with normal people
>>62519312>Very few things about how you set up your rifle matter for a gunfightIt's the stickers and the boots more than the mid ass redditrifle.
>>62519328What point? You let him live rent free in your head for you to save and repost a picture in a thread he isn’t in? Doesn’t the metal shirt guy literally carry a Roland special too? He’s gay. What’s wrong with Roland specials? They’ve been pretty much accepted, SOCOM MK 27 is similar, I believe I’ve seen them with comps when they don’t have a suppressor.
>>62519336I mean, the PPK literally was designed to be fired one handed. All pistols were at the time. But yeah. We know better now.
>>62519336When did I say best? You’re too triggered and keep using a straw man. I didn’t even mean I hold low I just meant the a lot of people get their hands knocked high enough to get slide bite, probably with the 380 version and I noticed zero slide bite with the 32 which makes me think it handles better. That’s just me obviously. If you can handle the extra recoil in a small blowback cool but 32 has a shallow learning curve and good handling
Why did the sickly @ me?
>>62519345>What’s wrong with Roland specials?It's just totally uninspired. It basically says>I spwnt $2k after watching a Garand Thumb video. At least LTT Berettas has more flavor.
>>62519368So you’re just hating for the sake of hatingThere is a ton of bone stock, or similar built guns posted in these threads. There is a shit ton of people who bought PPKs since of James Bond.
>>62519423>There is a ton of bone stock, or similar built guns posted in these threads.There is a lot to be said for enjoying something the way that it is.
>>62518937Yeah i guess grinding them down a bit wont hurt eh>>62518944I meant that if you can shoot well enough that you can hit an aimed shot at 100 yards, your hipfire should also be correspondingly good, at a shorter range of course. And since most people don't ever use their handguns in long range shooting, and most handguns are used in close, you can hipfire out of any self defense situation. At that point, when you can aim your gun that well, you should be able to hipfire 3 rounds in succession at 50 yards without aiming down sights. You don't need much further.
>>62519423I need a bone/antler/pearl/ivory grip for my PPKIf I can’t buy one I might try and craft one
>>62519146The chink-obsessed cumbrain turbo virgin is a fucking moron. Who'd of guessed.
>>62519519Seethe cocksucker
>improper gas system length (carbine) is going to get you killed lol
Realistically, when do you picture yourself needing your handgun? I'll start.>night owl>only one convenience store open 24hr>desperate burnouts use it as a resort>cop shows up once every hour or two just to shop or whatnot>sometimes cop camps in front of it, but not usually>usually they steal and beg>one homeless guy is bigger and blacker than the others>he's the chief one>he's cool, but the lower ranking ones aren't>when that big black bubba is gone, and cops are gone, it turns to Gotham city>local PD sends this giant 7 foot tall roid ape on patrol out here>only man i am afraid of in that region>i see him when i am buying coffee at 11pm or wheneverThe thing is, I maintain that it's literally never a good idea to show your gun in any city. In any circumstance. Just run away. Even if the stupid store was getting robbed, what do i care? It's like a Chinaman seeing a corpse on the road. They're dead, so can you help them? No, but i will lose social credit points if I'm not at my job. That's it mane, Chinaman mentality ftw. Why would you want to start a gunfight that could have been avoided? The store has insurance, and their prices are so ridiculous that why should I care?
>>62519466>I might try and craft oneThat is a pretty difficult task, but not impossible. Based as hell if you do. 1,000 extra points if you do it out of elephant ivory. I still think those white grips look great.
>>62519605>>62519466Just use silver. There aren't enough animals left for this shift.
>>62519645Animals must die for my vanity
Bodyguard 2.0 worth it? Keep seeing people shill em and the local shop has more about $100 cheaper than the MSRP but I already got some micro 9s
>>62519562If the situations here had gone south and they would have tried to tackle or something. Also if that druggie camp king who tried to hop in my car while I was adding gas had tackled me.If someone significantly stronger and larger than me successfully grapples me then it’s a very dangerous situation where they could kill me.I’d of course try to retreat and try to evade the grapple and warn them. I assume anyone who isn’t retarded would get what I mean when I say I’ll defend myself and my hand goes in my belly. I also need to remember to carry OC spray.
>>62519645I’m not gonna kill an animal. I’ll buy materials on Etsy or something and perhaps I can use resin to bond shards or stuff too low quality for carving which would be easier and cheaper
sometimes when I control-f "hg" on the catalog I accidentally type "gf" and I get sad
>>62519669Yeh cuz u have the body of a little girl, and you don't have the intimidation ability
>>62519541>fire one shot>massive explosion, loud, like a bomb, disorients you and knocks you back from unnecessary overt recoil>can't concentrate or overcome the first shot's recoil for any further shotsYou must have never experienced the bliss of rifle length. Carbine gas is literally inexcusable on 16"+. Even PSA has a gorillion midlength poverty options so price isn't even an excuse
>>62519740Yeah but it’s specifically a sopmod block 1 build

>>62519669>I assume anyone who isn’t retarded would get what I mean when I say I’ll defend myself and my hand goes in my belly.That is TECHNICALLY the same thing as actually shooting someone in my state. So is brandishing or saying "I'll shoot you." That isn't to say the DA will always press charges, but they could.>I also need to remember to carry OC spray.Do or don't that's up to you, but if you cap a hobo or whatever and they find you have less than lethal implements and didn't use them, that may come up in court. I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. >>62519712Aaw, he's just a little guy. He can't help it. Just like you can't help that 73 IQ.>How would you feel if you didn't have breakfast?
>>62519541No, the retarded faggot that cobbled that absolute piece of shit together will though.
>>62519780I had an abortion (._. )
>>62519794When your only tool is lube, every object is an anal toy.
>>62519779Not talking about that gun but anon's retarded opinion. "Build" guns are retarded when you run into barrel length requirements in my retarded opinion. Like you're going to strive to get details 99% correct but not SBR a 14.5" barrel, one of the most critical details? Why even bother trying to hit the mark then, just built what ya want. In which case midlength is again superior
>>62519779>sopmod block 1>LoLand Special Certified Chairborne Ranger.This is the guy telling you you shit sucks.

>>62519740post the aero og rollmarq with the gold inlay nibba shit is bussin
>>62519712I often resent my lack of strength.Also, it’s sort of annoying how women get double standard protections for this same reason. Not that I want them or double standards but note how after some woman cut off the dick of a guy who allegedly assaulted her (it turns out that was a lie) the press and police hailed her as hero.Whereas if I had used force against the guy who genuinely almost sodomized me I’d be prosecuted as a hate crime even though I’m technically gay.>>62519821Thankfully my state isn’t fucking retarded: technically I could use lethal force to prevent a violent felony that doesn’t even rise to immediate threat to life (think car break ins) but obviously I wouldn’t unless it’s life and death.You’re also allowed to use reasonable force to prevent a crime here, so outright brandishing to prevent assault has been allowed by DAs or if not juries. Sort of makes me worry about going to states with shitty laws that would rather I get beat up/sodomized/killed rather than warn off an assailant.

I love my .22 ruger.
