I will probably sound like a zoom fag for saying this but as much as twin 92's is ofc an iconic Woo thing. First thing that comes to my mind is actually Revy from BL. I know BL takes hella influence from Hong Kong Cinema stuff as well as western action movies like Die Hard, so I guess it's not too off base.

I'm looking for one of those for either a G17 or a USP45 but I dont know where to even begin to look. Looks kino tho anon.

>either a G17
I personally wouldn't run a shoulder rig with any striker pistol without a manual safety, but i'm sure someone else will come along and tell me i'm being a faggot.
That being said that rig is the Galco 'Jackass' model, which I really like because you can adjust the vertical cant of the holster. I have that one set up with the muzzle up just a little so it doesn't poke out of the back of my cover shirt. I tend to prefer shoulder holsters with suede harnesses because in my experience they're a bit comfier, and they don't print as much.
If you don't mind waiting several months Andrews Custom Leather and Kramer Leather make probably my two favorite rigs.

>How big are your hands anon? That thing is a fucking brick. I do love it too though, I keep mine by the bedside.

My palm is ~3.5 in?, measured from just behind the knuckle from index side to pinky side. Not the biggest hands in the world but when I grip the .45 it feels like it was made for my hand. I've had 3 different gun stores try to sell me G19s and other pistols in that form factor but they feel like shit in my hands and I cant get a pinky on them either so it'd just feel like shooting a G26 with more reciprocating mass, not exactly great.

No other gun I've handled from Glocks, to SIGs to FNs have ever felt like how the USP feels in my hand, bar a full size 1911 but that's sorta cheating isnt it given their selling point is the single stack thin grip.

It was my first handgun and will be the one I never sell and hopefully pass down if or when I have kids. I have a UTL mk II with LED upgrade in it and yeah same as you it's my "bedside/nightstand gun". It sits in a open carry waist Safariland 6820 I tied to my PC chair that is also not too far from my bed.

>>62870996
>Get one for your USP, shoulder holsters are peak comfy. In the colder months I like to carry my P30 in a shoulder rig.

Sounds good I'll just have to find where to get one, USPs arent exactly the epicentre gun for most of the field these days given everyone runs some variant of G17/19/Shield. Even finding a holster for this thing was tough and I ended up having to go to eBay and search for a few months before I got any hits.
>>
>>62871064
I will point you to the Galco Miami Classic shoulder rig - I have good reason to believe it's better than mine which I already like. The one I have is from Craft Holsters (the manufacturer is actually called Falco, funny enough) and it's good quality but unnecessarily thick in the width direction. They did a stupid thing where they added on a fuckton of leather on the back of the holster part so that it could double as a belt holster. It was silly of me to get that knowing that concealability is important and that I'd never wear my P30 in the crappy compromise leather holster. It was on sale though, so in the end I'm not too upset.
>>
>>62871110
>>62871064

crappy compromise leather belt holster*

also I just measured that dimension on my hand and got 3 in. That explains why the USP 45 feels so chunky to me lol. I still shoot it quite well, so it's whatever :)

Shoulder holsters are pretty kino and are generally more comfy for sitting. The Jackass holsters the other anon mentioned is the standard but it leaves the muzzel exposed of you care about that. The Miami will cover it.
One thing to consider is that you might want to practice lifting your arm as you draw so you aren't pointing a loaded gun at yourself as you draw

Are optics-ready models the way to go for pistols or is it worth finding a place to mill a slide for a particular footprint?

>>
>>62871676
Completely depends on if you already know exactly what optic you love, and if the optics ready model of your gun is barely more expensive than the standard you would get milled for ~$150.

Some folks I know are basically married to the RMR footprint and will never buy anything other than an RMR so milling to them might make sense unless it's cost prohibitive.
>>
>>62871676
tough call. Cutting your slide can be expensive and the only reason I did it is because I am really fond of the p30 and I had to get Langdon to slice mine up. If I could do it all again I would probably be more mindful of what guns come with the slide cut already built in. Doesn't really matter that much, really just start with a gun you really like shooting/training with, that's paramount.
>>
>>62871719
Tbf there’s like 50 brands producing optics for the rmr footprint

I'm obsessed with these as of late

Detail stripped one recently and they use like five frame pins which is kinda retarded, but other than that in terms of design simplicity I think it might beat or tie glock. The fpb is integral to the striker assembly so all you really need to do to completely strip the slide is punch out one pin for the extractor

The firing mechanism, trigger bar/disconnector setup is less small parts than glock, they're just big metal pieces. Fully cocked striker. There's no metal built into the frame aside from the serial number, all the rails come out.

Trigger is better than some hammerfired guns ootb, smooth takeup and 1mm positive reset. ergos are perfect and

It's thinner than glock, which is my main issue when it comes to concealing in a t shirt and facing towards wind. If the 43x is 0% and the 19 is 100% in terms of width, the p10c is 66-70%.

not shilling here but I have 6 glocks and I'm starting to carry this thing over all of them. Only thing is I like the glock grip angle more, and the glock 19 is a little shorter in the grip for the same capacity which is subjective but I'd rather it be shorter (this thing is midway between a 17 & 19 grip length)
>>
>>62871883
I'm glad you like it so much anon, I got a buddy who just loves his to bits. The size of the p10c is kind of similar to the pdpc where it's not too big to carry but it is definitely bigger than compact and that's enough to scare folks new to handguns off carrying it even if they absolutely can.

Hopeful the new CZ striker offering doesn't cannibalize the p10c and instead does it's own thing.

yeah I failed to even mention the price. I feel like M&P went "how can we make a glock that's better than glock" and CZ went "how can we do our own thing and be better than glock"
>>62871904
I think the new CZ that Reeves has been teasing is an updated P10 converted to a FCU design. It would be extremely simple to make this an FCU pistol based on how they designed it the first go around
>>
>>62871883
My friend has a P10, the grip/ergos are so much better than Glocks it’s not even funny
>>
>>62871676
For me, it's getting a pistol cut for the specific optic. It sits lower and is simply less complicated than most of the optics ready options. I think the Springfield Echelon has a pretty cool system, but a company like Jagerwerks will custom fit your slide to the exact optic if you send it in. My RMR is really snug even without the hardware. Also, unless you want a very specific optic, go for the RMR footprint. It's pretty good and you will have a lot of options if you ever want to change it out.
Really the only cases I can think to not get a custom cut is that you want to try a bunch of different optics, you can't be bothered to wait or the gun just doesn't have an uncut version.

Why do people want to talk shit about USP triggers? The DA is kinda crap, but so are most DA triggers The SA is great with a good reset, too. I just can't pay the asking price, but I really like them.

The non-match trigger in the USP series is kinda shit, especially DA. Very gritty and minimal leverage due to excessive LOP (at least on the 45 frame). I would go so far as to say the match trigger is actually pretty decent. Unfortunately there's nothing that can really be done about the excessive LOP
>>

>>
>>62872050
Match trigger SA is great. Reset I think is worse on the Match trigger return spring, I think it’s using a lighter return spring trying to make the DA pull lighter but in turn makes the reset less positive. Reset isn’t unusable bad, it’s not great and even with the Gray Gun’s short reset it’s still long. Should be called Gray Guns “shorter reset kit” instead of short reset.
>>
>>62872069
Meant to say, the DA pull even with the match kit isn’t good. It’s usable, especially when you’re using it properly from the half cock instead of the full hammer down pull. P226, Beretta 92 (and PX4) in my experience have better DA pulls and can have good SA pulls as well.

The USP is a gun you buy because it’s cool, not because it performs the best because it doesn’t. USP is also perfectly fine, its trigger other than the match SA pull is nothing to brag about.
>>
>>62872069
>>62872087
Agreed. What bugs me as a USP 45 guy is that HK had an opportunity to knock it out of the park with the HK45 and they kinda phoned it in. They developed it either after or in tandem with the P30, but decided not to do the fully modular grip panels - just the backstrap. I feel like if they put just a little more effort into the HK45, and maybe released a match kit for it/ the P30 as well, it would easily be a better pistol than the USP
>>
>>62872127
I read somewhere the HK45 is already using some of the match kit components
>>
>>62872087
Also, while the DA isn’t great, there is no reason you can’t hit A zones with it, while it’s heavy and might induce a jerk when you pull it you should just train through it
>>
>>62872141
If that's true, then I stand corrected. Also, would it kill them to do fully metal triggers? I know there's a metal core under the polymer shoe, but it just feels a little too flexy. I appreciate that grayguns made a flat trigger out of metal but I hate flat triggers and they ruin the aesthetics for me. Just make a normal trigger, but entirely out of metal!

So I don't own any HKs but I have shot a few in 9mm and .45 and my LGS has 3 on a display on the counter that I finger banged today on lunch and they all have this weird spot in the double action where it gets lighter for a second. That's what I meant. It's just weird and it throws me off a bit. The guns on the counter area. 45 tactical, a 9mm P2000 and a 9mm USP regular IDK what trigger they had in them. I literally never buy anything, so I don't typically talk to the people because I'm an awkward schizo.

>>62871986
For the $300ish they run? Can't be beat. The one flaw I can think of is it can't tolerate the bottom 1% of ammo. My buddies was pickier with reloads and really dogshit turkish ammo I had than my 509c was. But even then if I had one failure to fire or whatever else in a case he would have 2-3 failures to extract which I'm sure were from out of spec/tolerance bullets. But even the cheapest magtech steel case or the like should run just fine in it, it's really only the dregs of ammoseek and the local bubba's range reloads that it "struggled" on.

The Blast Wafer, a unique feature only to Wilson Combats and Nighthawk Predators is born from competition shooting as a way to get more weight on the end of the gun to reduce recoil. A super heavy weight bull barrel. It takes alot of fitting to get it right where it locks up nicely at the end of the slide without rubbing on the slide too much. It's a very unique feature that is going away, Wilson Combat I believe has discontinued all of the blast wafer'd barrels for several years now. They were popular for IDPA and USPSA I heard but since no one cares about single stack divisions anymore they're out of vogue.

Apparently since Bill Wilson founded IDPA or something he had written the rules so it allows the Wilson Combat blast wafered barrels but wouldn't allow traditional commander sized guns with blast wafers like the Nighthawk. I'm not big fan of Bill Wilson, hearing about all the things he's did and also how Wilson Combat has completely cut ties with Larry Vickers and even discontinued the Vicker's Duty mag (windowless to prevent dust and lint into the mags from carry), if you're interested in duty magazines or whatever go buy those right now since they're going to never be made again.
https://youtu.be/B0PR-ugyt1w
I think the mag is discontinued, it's not on Wilson's site and people on the forums say it's discontinued.

Be on the lookout for Wilson Combats
>Tactical Elite (fullsize version with rail)
>Stealth (the coolest, officer frame with professional length barrel (4 1/16)).
>Elite Professional
also the Nighthawk Custom Predator.
Don't buy these new, since they have this funky weird barrel alot of people pass on them so these go for less than half the MSRP used for the Wilson Combats. The Elite Professional I got was barely used. I got it for 2050 + tax. I've seen a Stealth go for 1700.

The hunt for one is the fun part. That's my problem, I'm addicted to the hunt.

USP45s as suppressor hosts seems to be the meta. I near nothing but good things.

>they aren't and they crack
How many had the suppressor strength spring in them? Even Glocktards I know always end up saying to get an enhanced strength for suppression. iirc the tactical variant of the USP runs a 20lb spring whereas the stock is a 16 lb one, and the 20 lb spring is sold in a bajillion different places so scarcity isnt really an issue either.

Sauce pls then? if this were so common you'd think you'd hear about it more. But I have yet to see this be a commonplace thing outside of here.

I'm old enough to remember the stories about the 92 being "shit" because slides were cracking when in reality it was just because the grunt retards in the burger army figured out a new way to break them + many were already run to shit with 0 maintenence for 10+ years.

It did happen. There are multiple things people blame, too much tellurium in the steel causing slides to crack, Winchester/Olins accidentally letting proof level loads into the ammo supply and or SEALs using WW2 "SMG" ammo which was like a 115 gr at 1400 fps or so, 9mm M1, I cannot find any specs on it.

>Sauce pls then? if this were so common you'd think you'd hear about it more.
I read it on old forums and how HK won't warranty the frames since you did not use the ONE approved suppressor.
>>
>>62874127
I doubt many people have enough rounds through them to see widespread failures but you can find a handful of pictureless anecdotes in HK forums, NFAreview cracked his frame and showed the damage on his channel (HK replaced it), and HK themselves do not warranty USPTs if you use anything but a B&T Impuls II which is the glowingest piece of info of all
>>
>>62874154
I read that someone cracked a frame with the approved suppressor.
>>
>>62874157
Believable.

I found the NFAReview video, there's a short clip at the start showing it happen but no closeup until this timecode. Apparently the frame bent enough to let the barrel hop on top of the RSA and that wedged the barrel, slide and frame hard together such that they had to pound it apart with a hammer. His RSA is peened and deformed from use

Thoughts on Shadow Systems?

For context, I work at a LGS and a buddy bought in a DR920 War Poet for $400, I'm gonna buy it for $450, and I'm trading a glock 17 towards it, so I'll really only be spending an extra $180 or so. I will still have a Glock 21 and a Glock 19, but I'm curious what /k/ thinks.

You gotta dress better, my man. Wearing jeans or slacks with a nice thicc belt is a good start and will make pocket carry less obvious, but AIWB is max concealment. Depending on your build a t shirt might work, but if you have a big chest it's hard to get a shirt that conceals well and doesn't make you look like a '90s gangster. Adding a long or short sleeve button down shirt without tails (straight hem at the bottom) works wonderfully as a cover garment as well as making you look like an adult. Subtle patterns like tartin or checks help break up printing.
Essentially, a flannel and jeans are ideal, but where I live, shorts are really preferable 8 months out of the year, so I go with 9" chino shorts. Kinda like James Reeves but about 3 or 4 inches longer. Throw in an IWB or AIWB holster and your set.

Looking to use some mini levels for my dry fire training. P365x is at the gunsmith so I can’t check myself so I’m asking here. I can find one that has a horizontal level, but vertical levels to smack on a handgun seems to be a challenge to find

Any idea if the P365x optic footprint is perfectly flat? I’m going to pop the optic footprint plate off and stick a level on the Mount.
I’ve got good grip fundamentals and okay trigger fundamentals. For context: I shoot expert. But my trigger pull is where I loose my accuracy, and for whatever reason I can’t use barricades when I shoot. I wasn’t able to get a lot of help because I was at the upper end of my training group, and there where people who needed a lot of work (Glory be to God they passed and we where gifted with such talented instructors).

On a side note; I work in a profession of arms. Specifically the one where I’m likely to have to shoot someone. So I, alongside my family wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read this; regardless of if u could or couldn’t help. U didn’t have to read my spew, and I want u to know there are people who are grateful u took the time to even read my humble petition. It’s possible whoever responds might actually save my life or someone else’s. So for what it’s worth, you’d be shocked how much of a difference you all can, and do make
>>
>>62875821
Can you not see the sights move when you pull the trigger or something? Why do you need a level?

A red dot on the RED DOT mount would be more effective, since you can see the dot move with any movement and the dot if zeroed is the true impact of the gun. A level isn’t intuitive at all.

>>
>>62875832
I don’t see the sights move when I pull the trigger.
But I know I can do better. I can’t make 50 yard shots on targets that are of the upper human body consistency (meaning over 75% of the time) with a pistol without using Kentucky windage (for arguments sake, I believe the target was the size of a head, neck; and the area above the collar bone). So it’s not good enough. My instructor could, and I couldn’t. For context however, we where using full sized handguns.

>Red dot on the red dot mount

Wilson’s Beretta work is inferior to Langdon Tactical’s. Ernest Langdon was the Beretta specialist that developed Wilson’s stuff before starting his own company.

You could just buy the Langdon tactical trigger job in a bag or just the trigger bar and the 13 pound hammer spring which is 70% of what the trigger job is.

30S Update 6: I return and so have the gremlins. Ran some old defense ammo through the mag that had jammed last time and lo and behold, it did it again on the last shot. Decided to load up the other made and run it till either it jammed too, or I ran out of ammo. I ran out of ammo. Even still, it failed to go all the way into battery at least twice. At this point, I've had more trouble getting this one glock to behave compared to my Gen 3 21 to the point I'd rather just carry it around instead

Watching a level on your trigger pull won't improve your trigger. Some suggestions I have for you.
>training grip strength as a whole
>dry fire with heavy pull double action guns
>training fine movement with your fingers independent of each other by isolating them
Sounds lame but developing the motor skills and strength will improve your trigger pull. Checking with a level is an assesment and a poor one at that.
>want specific advice on how to?
Kettle bell/dumbell work, taping different sets of fingers together and isolate grip from trigger. You don't need to but if you can buy a cheapo J frame, use it to dry fire untl you get sick of it. Use progressively heavier grip balls to work trigger finger/grip while the other fingers stay straight or clenched.

It doesn’t. It just could be better and the 92X RDO comes with an upgraded trigger stock. The 92FS and M9A1 are legacy guns that come the way they were originally designed.

I bought it used through guns.com so its gotta ship. But I did go to the range today and rent the exact same gun and shot 50 rounds. It was really fun and I was shocked how powerful yet controlled it was. It was the first gun Ive shot since I owned a bb gun as a kid so I dont have much reference but yeah I really liked it. Im gonna get some bulk ammo and try to go every weekend or so. I also want to buy a shotgun in the next few months.

What the fuck is this 900 second cooldown. God this site blows these days.

I think I made up my mind about what Striker handgun I want.

I have two finalist: the beretta Apx and the Springfield XD.

I would opt for the XD (I like that extra safety and the aesthetic), however I don't know much about the gun itself.

I must also point out that I don't want a full size, but a compact, and I haven't seen a mod.3 compact for the XD, but maybe it is just me.

I would like to ask you: which One would you Pic between these two models? Which one Is more reliable and which One has the best trigger and It Is more enjoyable tò shoot?
>>
>>62876224
Fantastic choice
Swap in a gen 4 ejector if you plan to run optics but apart from that the gen 3’s are great guns
>>62876346
Don’t go with the single cheapest offering on targetsportusa but any of their other bulk 9mm offerings will run fine in a glock
>>
>>62876412
Thanks anon. Why are FMJs cheaper than other bullet types? Can I just buy that?
>>
>>62876394
I pick the Glock 19
>>
>>62876434
Fmj is cheap because it has little use outside of bulk training ammo
If you plan to use this gun defensively you’ll want speer, federal, or hornady jacketed hollow points (jhp) but for range use just buy whatever fmj is cheap (don’t buy magtech steel case though)
>>
>>62876441
I don't want a Glock, i dont like It.

Either the apx or the XD.
>>
>>62876442
Then why does the military issue fmj exclusively in pistols and rifles?

>>62876442
I can just buy a second mag and have one for home defense and one for the range. Ill keep away from magtech steel case, thanks anon.

I'm a Berettafag but even I wouldn't pick the APX (or XD for that matter). I think you need to expand on the exact criteria you're looking for because neither one of those are a first round draft pick for most people here.
>>
>>62876447
>>62876469
They're both fine. They're both cheap. Stop trying to make this guy pay more money if he doesn't want to.

My pick would be Beretta as I have a little more faith in the brand than Seinfeld but they're both just duty tier strikerslop same as Glock. Don't be thinking of "best" anything for guns like this, you are picking them because of the price. If you have specific requirements of the gun you'll have to branch out

I want a striker handgun, compact.
I will use It at the shooting range and as home defense.

I like the aesthetic of both the XD and The Apx, but the XD has the extra safety, which i like.

But I don't know which gun Is Better? Which One Is more reliable and which One has the best trigger.

I also want a gun that Is fun to shoot.

New gun owner question, do different bullets of the same size have a massive difference in how they shoot?
Like when i’m looking at the ammo rack, 100 Winchester 9mm rounds is ~$30 but 25 Hornady rounds are ~$29. Obviously the shape of the bullet affects the physics of its flight path but would it be noticeable at the sub 50 yards distance that i’d be shooting at?
Because even if this Hornady is the best round ever i’m not going to spend $120 on 100 rounds for range practice.
>>
>>62876920
No. When you're an expert you'll care, but for somebody just getting into guns the differences are completely irrelevant. Pick a type which works for you and stick with it.
>>
>>62876920
Flight path will be close enough to not matter during practice
What changes is what happens when the bullet hits meat

You train with cheap fmj and carry one of the big 3’s hollow points
>>
>>62876920
It’ll be noticeable if you were an amazing shooter and also shooting for score in competition. For standard practice the cheap stuff is preferred just for the economics, within 10 yards you shouldn’t see any difference. I believe at 25 is where you’ll see a difference

If you really cared you would be loading your own bullets to exact specifications

I don't understand why Hornady always makes this list. They use wonky cone bullets that are not universally tolerated (guns are DESIGNED to feed an ogive, not a cone) and their crimping is across the board pretty poor. I would put Winchester Ranger T above Hornady and easily mentionable in the same breath as Federal HST and Speed Gold Dot.

For defensive ammo, imo, criteria should be how it performs. Hornady is left in the dust. If you can't find Ranger fine, you WILL find Gold Dot or HST

The mag ban and AWB laws currently grandfather in any previously owned item, you bringing them in is "importing them" which is against the law but literally no one would know that you did other than if you told people. Or somehow you have a run in with the law that resulted in search warrants of your domicile which isn't likely since this place has the lowest amount of cops per capita in the united states and they're all busy dealing with the skyrocketing homicide rates and armed robbery.

>>62877224
Lowers, you can still get AR uppers here. Primary Arms will ship them to you as long as you fill out paperwork saying you won't make NEW rifles from them, if you have a lower already it's fine.
Mags. Pistol mags. Threaded barrels for your handguns.

>>62877151
Does Hornady even have any FMJs like Winchester, Federal and Speer (arguably through CCI Blazer)? It's kind of weird to me that they're so ubiquitous in gun stores but don't really have any bulk ammo.
>>
>>62876124
I have a buddy that has a G30. He believed the meme that you never have to clean Glocks. We were at the range and he kept getting those exact same 1911 style failures to feed. I went to look at the feed Rane, extractor, breach face etc.
>When was the last time you cleaned this thing?
>Never.
With a lil CLP and an M-16 brush from the range bag we solved the issue and it's never returned.
Also, that gun is fucking impossible to shoot over 10 yards.
When was the last time you cleaned your G30, anon?
>>
>>62876124
Wait, was the same mag having the feed issues?:

>>62877275
It would have been right after the last update so just under a month ago. Granted, I don't know if cleaning out the slide and barrel is what one would consider a thorough enough cleaning

Yeah it's weird, I guess they get their foot in the door with their (very excellent) rifle ammo and stores just take some pistol ammo too because why not when everything's done through distributors that way.

I don't think they make any FMJ/ball, unless they have a bulk subsidiary I'm unaware of, like how Independence belongs to CCI. Speer doesn't have FMJ I don't think but they do have Lawman TMJ

Hornady's BULLETS perform quite well in terms of expansion and penetration (at least 9mm and above) but their truncated cones and bad crimping let the brand down
>>
>>62877281
Yep, same mag. The second mag only had the thing were the slide doesn't quite go all the way forward and you have to tap it to send it home like the first, but I never could get it to fail to feed like what's in the picture.
>>
>>62876346
That's great news anon. I hope you have spent a lot of time watching videos about shooting fundamentals and safety and sheeit.
The shotgun is going to be a radically different beast. It going to kick like a bitch and run out of ammo fast and it's a pain in the ass to reload but maaaaaaaan not even an automatic rufle can release so much hate so quickly! I'm not trying to discourage you by any means, just be prepared for a much steeper learning curve than the Glock. Despite what lib politicians may think, the tactical shotgun is the tool of a professional.
Also, learn how shoot your gun as it shipped. The Glock is already a really good gun asbitbships, but the one thing I would recommend is to eventually look at a Ghost connecter. It's really all the gun needs.
>>
>>62877343
I second this
The only thing a glock really needs is a ghost connector
I’m personally partial to their evo elite 3.0
>>
>>62877343
>>62877367
What does the ghost connector do and how difficult is it to install
>>
>>62876454
>I can just buy a second mag and have one for home defense and one for the range.
You should buy multiple magazines, a total of 5 or so because they go bad more often thanvanyt other part of the gun. You should shoot and replace your defensive ammo once a year just to make sure you have fresh stuff. Also be aware that springs wear out, so you may want to think about replacing the mag springs and probably som in the gun eventually.
>>
>>62876805
It's a perfectly adequate pistol and can be made damn good, but
>they have the propensity to attract know nothing elitists who have these very strong beliefs but cant explain the "why" to them.
which is a problem with a lot of guns, but especially with glock.

Aren't CCI and Speer the same company?
>Hornady's BULLETS perform quite well in terms of expansion and penetration (at least 9mm and above) but their truncated cones and bad crimping let the brand down
their .380 has good expansion, especially for .380 and those truncated cone boolets actually feed well in my PPK.
Critical Defense seems to be well developed in most calibers and their rifle ammo is some of the best factory loads on the market.
>>
>>62877282
I think a cleaning of the barrel, slide and whatever you can get at in the frame would be enough. Also, it's more about how many rounds rather than how many days.

Any decent solutions for storing a bunch of pistol mags that aren't just throwing them all into a big box?
>>
>>62877500
Put them in labeled ziploc bags before you put them in the box. Maybe put a colored sticker on them to code by caliber or gun
>>
>>62877378
>>62877448
The difficulty lever is relatively easy for all Glock stuff that doesn't require hand fitting. Make sure you don't get the hand fit one because it will make your gun not work if you install it without fitting it.
It makes a critical friction point really smooth and I think improves geometry. With it being your first gun, you won't know the difference at first, so get used to the stock one so you can appreciate it more.
>>
>>62877460
Glock brand mags gonfor a bit of a premium, but they absolutely will work without issues and they are cheaper than a lot of pistol mags. I think Mag Pul makes good mags too. To be honest, I'm not a Glock guy and I don't own any, myself but I got a lot of buddies that have some and I really respect and lile them.
>>
>>62877475
That's going to be a personal thing. I feel a bit awkward with striker gun with a trigger under 4lbs. I have shot the 3.5 and I think it's fine. I've never shotvthe 3.0

>Put them in labeled ziploc bags before you put them in the box.
This is what I do except I don't bother labeling the because I'm lazy.
>>

It’s a 10 second swap
The evo elite is a hand fitted part so it’s closer to 10 minutes

Is there a guide on how to determine who manufactured an old 1911? My dad says he has one from great granddad and I was wondering what to look for to know exactly what type of 1911 it is. I don’t know much about 1911’s other than there’s a shitload of them and two world wars.
>>
>>62877822
normally, it's stamped right on the gun. Depends, if it was from great grand dad, it's probably 100% a Colt 1911, which means Colt made it. War time production M1911A1s may be made by many different companies, Remington Rand, Ithica, Union Switch and Signal, etc
