>>62877820Damn, that's pretty funny pic related OP, well done.
I finally took out my six inch Smith and Wesson .44 magnum revolver to the range and shot roughly 56-60 rounds of 240 grains of Winchester soft points and Magtech FMJsThe FMJs were easily the most brutal fucking shit I have ever shot ever since I have shot 500 magnum out of a 4 inch barrel revolver.I have been humbled hard. And yes I did shoot one handed at some points
>>62878023the Hogue rubber grips from the X frame on the L/N frames do help alot, it also helps to choke up on the grip as much as possible and have a good wrist angle
>>62878023how is .44 compared to .357?
>>62878027I'm going to put wood grips on itI am going to be in massive pain once that comes and I'm able to shoot more .44 if I can get my rebate
>>62878030.357 is fucking nothing compared to .44Yes it is a little tough to shoot and for most people it is the most powerful round they can handleFor me I think it's significantly softer than .44 but still more hot than the likes of 9mm and .45 ACP
>>62878023The factory stuff is pretty light compared to what 44 Mag can be.
>>62878113when I handload I will be sure to handload a less formidable .44 mag round
>>62878119Here's what that one on the right looks like.Enjoy that 629, it's a lot of fun. The load I use the most is 10gr of Unique or Universal under a 240gr SWC. Cheap, powerful, fairly light.
>>62878138JesusAlso>3.57 MB filewas that intentional?
>>62878163Nope, never gave it much thought.
How good is .44 magnum against a human? Will it blow baseball sized holes in people and take off limbs or what?
>>62878188no it should though
>>62878188if you shoot 5 fatal shots and they still get up, use the last round on yourself, as my dad would say
I'm currently an archaeology student. I really want a pistol to larp as an Indiana Jones style explorer. Any recommendations? Must be C&R, bonus if they can have a shoulder stock.Currently looking at broomhandle mausers and old Inglis Hipowers.
>>62878267I dont think anything outside of black powder pistols are C&RJust get an old model 10 and you're set
>>62878267Just get a S&W M1917.
>>62878267S&W M1917 buddy
>>62878030wtf is a swr8? i thought only the trr8 had railsi want a railed revolver
>>62878267Colt New Service, that way you can be as disappointed in its timing problems as the last guy.
>>62878267"There were two primary revolvers used in Raiders of the Lost Ark. One was a Smith & Wesson 1917, chambered for .45 ACP from Stembridge rentals in Hollywood. The second was a Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector Model 2 (HE2) from Bapty & Co. in London. It is widely accepted that the Bapty was used in all the revolver shooting scenes."So you want a pic related. However the Raiders gun was modified with a shorter barrel as no Hand Ejectors came with a 4 inch barrel, they were 6 inch like the pic.
>>62878267Browning 1910: browning pistols were literally the most common gun in the continent and 32 was the most available round. So civilians, crooks and especially undercover agents from America carried small 32s https://www.hensleygibbs.com/edharris/articles/32ACP.htmIt’s actually semi practical since it’s very compact, and has a modular design letting you swap from 380 to 32 acp with a barrel switch. Which actually would be what I’d carry if I were a tomb raider a century ago.
>>62878331>32 acp>PPtroon airtight>REEEEEEEEEE>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>I'm not obsessed, you're obsessed!!!!!!Repeat for 40 posts.But seriously, neat guns and .32 was crazy popular back then. Still, I think the M1917 is the answer to the Indy LARP.
>>62878352you're mentally ill
>>62878267>>62878309Yeah, the M1917 is absolutely the move. That or the Webley WG Army, but you can't get.455 Webley at the Rural King.>>62878361>WatThere is at least one closeted poster that invokes PPanon absolutely any chance he gets, even if it's only very barely related. See:>>62871214At least, I think what's what he's talking about >>>62878352 >you're mentally illThis is also an option, but they are not mutually exclusive.
>>62878278There are tons of smokeless C&R pistols. Even if you're confusing C&R with antique there are still some smokeless pistols that can be antique.
I took a stick into the forest and yelled "bang bang" to the birds
>>62878518Many early smokeless c&r even write smokeless on the caliber It’s been a thing since the lebel
>>62878595>trannies are allowed to post pointless things like this all day long>any replies against this might get a normal person a three day bandon't fall for it, bros
>>62878595and even I know that means, "victory."

>>62878943You just mad I was>inb4
>>62878932
>>62878647Did they make a .32 ACP in a black powder loading? That thing would get all jammed up after a few mags, I imagine.While reading up on this, I found out that>The .32 ACP has been chambered in more handguns than any other cartridge. Between 1899 and 1909,Fabrique Nationaleproduced 500,000 guns chambered for .32 ACP.(Woodard, W. Todd.Shooter's Bible Guide to Cartridges, New York: Skyhorse, 2011.)That seems like bullshit, but I believe it.>>62878662>Tranime website >>62878932>>62879082Does anyone here drink regular water?
>>62879119>regular waterSure but posting that would be boring.
>>62879119Doesn't Blue 509 anon post with high quality spirits? Also there is that one dude that posts the 1903 Colt and the Old Tom style gin. That's pretty cool.
>>62877820Ok guys, second try. I received no answer Yesterday "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?"P.S. I don't want a Glock or a Sig. I am deciding between these two. Tell me your opinione
>>62879278IDK, I think the Phoenix arms is a pretty good first gun.It is extremely affordable, typically going for $100 or less. The .22LR version shoots a very affordable and low recoiling round, which is ideal for new shooters.There are a number of small pistol universal holsters available that will work for them, which are also ideal for someone just getting started.There is no reason to get son financially involved in something that might not be right for you.Save yourself a lot or money and start with the Phenoix and see how that works for you first.
>>62879278Beretta, always Beretta over Springfield.
Who makes the best magnified pistol optic, for use on a revolver
>>62879317>Phoenix armsSlide cracks after a few thousand rounds.
>>62879278I have the original apx and the apx a1. The “centurion” and “compact.” Killer deals on both of them. Both are excellent shooters and 100% reliable.
>>62879318>>62879342>>62879330This is, by a wide margin, the easiest board to troll.
>>62879384>type out 2 pages of shit>people give you unemotional short factual response>"lmao u trolled! I was only pretending to be retarded"Yeah we need forced IDs like /pol/
>>62879392I didn't write the OP asking for advice on Big Mac vs Whopper, faggot. I was just calling it out.
9mm is not my preferred but I still have a lot of guns in it
>>62879424The sad and boring truth is the a 9mm Glock will do 98% of what you need a hand gun to do, but that's boring.
>>62879278>imma newfag>i am deciding between 2 shit guns>i explicitly don't want a good goodk
>>62879454My sig is slim as shit with a better trigger. But otherwise yes I just buy a glonk. Even for a "full size" 9mm to tromp around with, I have a g19
>>62879480Oh, totally. There are better guns, but when evaluated on a practical level it's pretty marginal.
>>62879480Sig 365s are too tiny and slim for me.Glock 19 feels perfect.
>>62879507Yeah, I don't know how people actually shoot those things. My hands aren't even that big, but even though I can get four fingers on the grip, I just can't get enough purchase to really torque down on the thing. I sold mine after a couple range trips. An officer 1911 is all I need
Does anyone have an opinion on the cz-75 or the beretta 92? I like both, but should I consider one over the other or just consider something different all together. For reference I have two revolvers and a Springfield XDM.
>>62879526More b8
>>62877820Does the P17 still suck?I like the look and the weight/capacity as a kit gun and I hate the look of the tx22 which looks like its only serious competition and my LGS has them for like $160 and it comes with a threaded barrel (serious upcharge in price and weight on the tx22).Ik lel-kek's QC has always been shit but I've had luck and their customer service has been great
>>62878188Not above ~2200 fps so its still definitely in the realm of pistol calibers which only cause damage through the permanent wound cavity, which is to say its only as good as the path the bullet itself carves and won't cause extra damage like a much higher velocity rifle round.Essentially about the same 'stopping power' on a human sized target as .40/.45/10mm but theoretically it would get through barriers a lot better. No real compelling reason to pick it unless you need more penetration on something bigger/tougher than people.
>>62879543The CZ has better ergos and may be slightly more accurate but the Beretta is better in every single way. The decocker is better executed while CZ makes you choose between decocker or safety and the CZ decocker adds complexity to the trigger pull. The Beretta has a single wear part that should last literally tens of thousands of rounds anyway while the CZ has several wear parts that can break after a year of regular use. The Beretta has an essentially idiot-proof design. It also has a better aftermarket for less money because the Langdon bar and slide cut will run you less than getting a cut CZ slide and the CGW shit.I also think the CZ 75 looks kind of retarded with its giant safety and stupid crimped front end like an elephant stepped on it. And yeah the Browning Hi-Power is overrated and stupid looking too. The CZ is also a commie poorfag gun while the Beretta is the iconic weapon of action heroes.
>>62879544Nah, nigger. I don't give a shit what the tactical timmy consensus is on the internet. An officer 1911 is still a based gun
>>62879278apx all day every dayyou're dumb for not going glock but the XD is legitimately worse than the competition and somehow more expensive, the APX is thoroughly whelming as a service pistol and is way cheaper than everything else.
>>62879424agreed, sad that we didn't stick with the greatest caliber (.40) but ig 9mm is good enough.
>>62879573>A 1911 Officer's model? >At this time of year? >In this part of the country?>Fully in your possession?>May I see it?
>>62879548Yeah, it's a great gun. Go for it.
>>62879587Technically Wilson calls it a sentinel, but it's basically an officer
>>62879587Still waiting for an officer's platypus that takes g26 mags.
>>62879507Stock grips are impossible for me. Everyone gets an aftermarket grip module these days. Wilson combat solves it by going fatter (defeats the point to me) and other ones have palm swells forward and back. That's what I did
>>62879610Sentinel bro
>>62879750That looks really stupid
>>62879750the wilson grips are only like 1/8" wider or something. It has no effect on printing. They mog the fuck out of the stock sig grips and make the gun actually shootable. I hate it when people say buy X and immediately replace Y part, but they are a direct upgrade over stock with no downsides.
>>62879835They are fat. And also I liked the aluminum module because it adds some heft. But yes for the budget option they are not bad, I would call them the first mandatory upgrade. Second is an mcarbo trigger shoe, it makes it so nice for about the price of a wc grip
>>62879572Thank you, that’s good to know.
>>62878030Well damn, might have a cheaper option now for a sci-fi looking revolver
>>62878292I wish my Makarov wasn't a piece of shit. Double action is bjorked and I can't figure it out. When I pull the trigger all the way to the rear slowly the hammer won't release. If I hammer the trigger it works fine, and if pulled to the rear when stuck and released a mm it goes off. I'm assuming something is out of spec.
>>62878278Hily shit don't post again, retard.Old /k/ would have ripped you a new asshole for making such an ignorant post, you got off easy.
>>62878932>bubly>waterpick one
>>62878292I've been kind of wanting one lately, is it possible to find ones that aren't $1500+?
>>62879876Closest to what you want in 44 is the 629 "Hunter"You can always take off the homo optic.
I like the idea of carrying a j-frame but I also like having more capacity, what do?
>>62879950King Cobra, K6S, or one of those Colt Vipers.The K frame S&Ws will be just barely bigger
>>62879950Carry another J-frame.
>>62878595Based boomstick user, was it made in italy?
>>62879950Git gud
I have a general idea of what kind of pistol I want to get, but I also first want to try out holding a couple different models and really get a feel for them, in order to find what actually fits in my hand best.Would a gunshow or a gun store be the place to go do that?I want more of a metal wonder-nine style, which I'm worried that most gunstores wouldn't have very much to look at, and would be all polymer stuff only.I also don't know how gunshows would be too, with old grumpy boomers trying to just get a shitty saleI'm still relatively new to handguns so I will most likely also have a friend with me who does know them much better than I do
>>62880047Buy a 92FS
What are some all steel semi auto pistols that are extremely reliable? This is just a gun to keep at home and take out to shoot occasionally. I was looking at the Sig P220 10mm Legion but I saw where some people had broken takedown levers and a couple decocker levers. That seems rare though. I also dont really like the cerakote but as long as the gun itself is solid I could care less.Obviously polymer framed guns are ultra reliable but I really like a gun that doesn't feel like a burger king toy to me. I carry a ruger LCP and even though its plastic I don't care because it is just a tool.I love revolvers but the couple of them I have bought there is something about it I end up not liking. The ruger sp101 is nice but the cylinder gap on a brand new one is .013" and really spits a lot out. I also got a Super Blackhawk 44 and the base pin always wanted to come out while shooting it and the cylinder would bind up. I saw where some stores online sell a kind that would lock into the barrel but you had to drill a hole into the surface the barrel for it to work. I sold the Blackhawk.The reason I am asking is because there are so many semi auto handguns I dont know where to start. I would prefer 10mm but 45 acp would be fine too. Thank you.
>>62880087Did you try an extra power spring for the base pin retainer?Sorry to hear about those problems, think Belt Mountain is shuttering so oversized base pins will be tough to come by.
>>62879950Carry more, carry a speedstrip
>>62880087>What are some all steel semi auto pistols that are extremely reliable?>I would prefer 10mm but 45 acp would be fine too. Thank you.You can try looking for one of the older all-steel .45 P220s or an S&W 4506/4566. Honestly though parts for the S&Ws are starting to dry up which worries me for long term shooting.
Should i buy a Tisas Raider as a cope M45A1 clone.Anyone had hands on experience with it? The color for the coat and G10 grips don't even look alike.
>>62878299The S&W M&P R8 is another model very similar to the TRR8.
>>62880195You can replace the grips and get it refinished and end up with a better gun than the olt for half the price.
>>62880224>get it refinishedNTA but do any refinishers do the FDE ionbond that Colt switched to? My problem is that I don't want the cerakote on either a Colt or a Tisas but I also don't want to pay out the ass for a 'custom shop' M45.
>>62879119Funny thing but 32 used to be loaded pretty decently, even American > WW2 WRA (Winchester Repeating Arms) 73-grain FMJ: 1001 fpsThis is what our army was feeding their 1903s back in the day. Basically it’s fiocchi and close to 32 magnum performance. Which basically proves fiocchi is the optimal load for Browning pistols(fiocchi is slightly wider so feeds better in American bores).Nobody cared about soft loading back then. It’s only now they load them really weak in fear they blow up a pistol when they never did.Most of the guns running them weren’t even premium like colt but knockoffs like the ruby so literally any steel frame can take fiocchi energies.I still love my 1903 and just wrote a tribute to it for keeping me safe during grad school. Even if outdated safeties and incompatibility with high tech ammo hurt it.
>>62879899>I wish my Makarov wasn't a piece of shit.Hello, fren. I am very sad to hear you are having trouble with what I consider an absolutely excellent pistol. I have a wealth of in depth gunsmithing videos and I really want to help everyone fix their guns. Here is a link to download one specifically for the Makarov. If you are familiar with tormenting, you can get it that way by searching for "AGI Makarov." I haven't watched this in ages, but it will do a very good job explaining how your gunnworks and maybe even explain exactly how to fix it. Good luck and Godspeed. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I really like helping anons fix guns.https://wormhole.app/b9LDE#LLBCMYZmx2ISBm26TJJueQ
Gents, I can't decide between a SIG P365 or a 1911 of similar price.
>>62880276>clicking on a link that starts with wormhole
I don't know anything about Berettas, which model 92 is closest to this?
>>62880153Thank you for the response. No I didn't change it to stronger spring, that's a smart idea though. I didn't think about that honestly.I have looked at the Redhawk revolvers and I like what I have saw, but since my SP101 has such a large cylinder gap I wonder if the Redhawks are the same. I also saw where Ruger is making the barrels as a "sleeve and shroud" so its two pieces. That looks like it would be easier for them to get the cylinder gap perfect that way. Do you think that kind of barrel would be sturdy? I cant find any instances of them failing but I did see some earlier 2000's Smith and Wessons that the shroud had came off.Thanks!

>>62880301>Dulchebellum>Sweat WarSomeone read a book once, kek>Dulce bellum inexpertis is a Latin phrase that translates to “war is sweet to those who have never experienced it.” This phrase has been attributed to the ancient Greek poet Pindar and was later popularized by the Renaissance humanist Erasmus.
All this talk about good American pistols really makes me want to carry my 1908. Really almost the perfect blowback 9mm browning when you think about it.No wonder Capone and Dillinger loved them as pocket guns.>>62880276>>62880292These are very useful videos and the bootleg PPK course anon gave me helped me understand my PPK and make my gunsmithing hack video
>>62880301Hard to tell from that pic. M9 has a straight dust cover and the beaver tail is slightly different. However, the 92fs had that long ass roll mark on the slide stating that it's a 92, the M9 has some assembly number. You can see it says MOD 92BT, which is most like the 92fs. The barrel is slightly too short to be either. They removed the checkering on the frame too so it's basically some close enough mystery meat. But it's arguably based off of the 92fs the most while also looking a bit like an M9.
>>62877970Not really, the engraved pistol is obviously a Smith and Wesson, not a Colt
>>62880349>These are very useful videos and the bootleg PPK course anon gave me helped me understand my PPK and make my gunsmithing hack videoThanks, my PPnigga. If we don't keep these old guns fixed up and running other anons in the future won't be able to enjoy them.
So I'm thinking of getting my first optic and having my 1911 slide cnc milled to mount one. Problem is, I'm new to pistol ownership, and it's hard to decide between mounting standards, my budget, and direct mounting vs adapter plate systems. My budget for an optic is a around 300 with a hard ceiling of 400 (not including cnc costs), so pic related and other super high end stuff is out of the question, but I've seen a lot of budget friendly options. Thing is, there's a metric fuckload of them: holosun, sig, swampfox, Brownell, etc.Tldr, what I'm asking is>what "footprint" is best for milling into a 1911 (Mine has no firing pin stop, so no worries)>what budget friendly option is best for that mounting standard.
>>62879935I'm pretty sure there are milsurp ones you can find from other countries for cheaper. You'd have to look, I've never considered getting one.>>62880301>>62880313Looks like an older 92FS Centurion.
>>62880301It's just a 92FS Centurion.>>62880377All 92s had a straight dust cover until the mid 2000s, that's not an M9 only thing. It was an incremental update they rolled out over time, like the polycoated small parts.
>>62880412holosun 407k. Its basically the EPS, but not enclosed. It came out before the eps. I think I got mine for like 240. 6moa dot, which I think is kind of oversized, but very reliable if basic rds. Its the holosun k footprint. Ive got like 6-7k rnds through mine and carried it for a little over a year. No issues, but make sure as fuck its mounted correctly and the battery tray screw is down tight. If you are super green you can probably have whoever is cutting the slide mount the dot as well. Holosun customer service is pretty good. Not that you will likely need it. There is a snowballs chance in hell that you can find a used rmr for 400 if you want to roll the dice on random ebay finds. Most would tell you to go with an eps, but I think its out of your price range. Overall though don't get sucked into thinking one dot is best/better than another. Most of them are pretty reliable nowadays and they all do the same shit. Also multi reticle is gay dont worry about it.
>>62880307My two redhawks are from 1985, one's gap is about .008", the other is .004"..013" is out of spec, needs a longer ratchet, but that's an easy thing to say, but a tougher thing to find one that still times right.The sleeve and shroud Redhawks, from what I've seen still have all over the place tolerances, tough to remove them, but the barrels themselves are still as thick as the old ones from the forcing cone to the end.
>>62880401lol lmfao
>>62880554What revolvers are the best in your opinion? I thought about the new Python but my friend has one and he doesnt like how the sideplate screws loosen up so easily on it and you have to remove the grips (which are very tight and have two dowel pins in them) to check the rear one. He said his Smith and Wesson 686 hasnt done this. Also I saw online where some of the current guns like the King Cobra have had gaps between the barrel shoulder and frame that look thick enough to stick a business card in. I saw an email online from Colt about it and they said that theres nothing they can do because something about a crush washer they use that stands a good chance of ruining the frames threads if removed. I have never heard of anyone in real life having to get a revolver barrel replaced but just knowing it cannot be altered without wasting the gun kinda sucks in my opinion.Smiths are nice but I personally cant stand the internal lock and I have heard their tolerances can be sloppy nowdays, I dont know how true it is though. I do know of one person in real life who ordered a scandium 44 magnum that was a Smith and the front sight just broke off without even shooting it.
>>62880412I believe there is a stripped down version of the Holosun 407C that is around 200 dollars. PSA sells it. It has no multi reticle function or solar panels, it’s the perfect budget dot as it fits on the RMR footprint and then you can replace it with something better down the line. Direct mount 1911 optics would only be the Delta Point Pro footprint, RMSC/407K footprint, ACRO or 509T optics. I wouldn’t recommend going direct mount for your first optic, you’re married to a footprint.For plate systems >Trijicon’s original RMR adapter plate system, this is made only for the RMR and government length guns, the plate costs around 200 since it’s the plate + cowitness front sight. Don’t do this one. Kimber I believe does an offshoot of it, also don’t do this one>Staccato DPO style, this is modern, decent aftermarket support for other plates, has recoil pegs for the plate, lots of support. You’ll have to find an gunsmith to cut this one, I use DSC gunworks who has some packages where you get the cut + a plate + cowittness front sight installed for 450 dollars, he says 3 week turnaround. >CHPWS Cross, copy of the staccato style but with some improvements, lower than the staccato DPO style by about .1 inch. I have no experience with it but it seems like a decent option but you’re stuck in the CHPWS ecosystem. They’ll do the cut, refinish your slide for not that much, >Nighthawk IOS style, I like this style but it’s 450 dollars for the cut and you don’t even get an optic plate yet. Limited plate options and a long lead time >Wilson Combat, 150 dollars + the mandatory refinishing of the slide (150 more or so), an offshoot of the RMR plate but some sort of leveling system and a dovetailed rear on the plate. I have one gun with this and it keeps coming loose every 1k rounds, people tell me it may be user error and that might be true >Atlas plate, no idea but it’s atlas so it’s expensive >cabot plate, expensive
>>62880087For 45 you have dozens of options. For 10mm you can overpay for Indian made sig, get a 19/2011 from 300 to 3000 dollars, or get a tanfoglio(which also comes in 45). It likes to be kept lubed but I've never had a failure shooting my tanfo. It's not idiot proof though as some fat retard at the range managed to jam it like 6 times. (Maybe limpwristing or probably choking up too high with that retarded two hand grip he used cuz he got scared of the 10mm). For 1200+ tanfo is a tough sell, if I didn't carry it I don't know if I'd buy it just as a range fun. But I second that other anon on the smiths. There's something so sexy about old s&w autoloaders and in 45 you can find plenty under 600 be it in compact or full size.

>>62880679>I wouldn’t recommend going direct mount for your first optic, you’re married to a footprint.Yeah, but consider the fact that a handgun optic is just a hunk of metal in which is enclosed (or not!) an emitter that paints a colored dot across your vision. So getting "married to a footprint" is not necessarily a huge idea. Just don't be a CONSOOOOOOOMer and realize that the difference between a Holosun and a Trijicon is basically just the price tag.
>>62880660>Smiths are nice but I personally cant stand the internal lock and I have heard their tolerances can be sloppy nowdaysNTA, but I own a bunch of revolvers and there's no question that current S&Ws with the Hillary Hole do not have the same standard of fit and finish as the old guns did. That said, the ones I own and have owned have been trouble-free, but if you put the two guns side by side and compare them there's no question their quality has slipped.>nothing they can do because something about a crush washer they useThat is the result of them changing the design to simply assembly at the factory. Old Pythons (etc.) that use the standard barrels (not sleeved) never had that issue.
>>62880660>I have heard their tolerances can be sloppy nowdaysThey literally don't make them like the used to.
>>62879321Right now for new production probably Burris. There’s a weaver on Natchez, but it’s a Chinese production under the weaver brand name, so no clue if it’s really decent…. Leopold doesn’t have a pistol scope in production currently.. There’s a few other lesser brands, no clue how they hold up. I’d check on eBay if you get the chance. I got this for 140$ including shipping.. their a weird area where the older ones are generally pretty well made, and it’s a niche enough market that seems to be less popular with contenders and encores being out of production and red dots being in some cases more popular than a 2x magnification scope.
>>62880736On a side note, got to try this at the range with the scope finally and had a blast, even if it was just in 44 not 444. Weekend after thanksgiving planning on going out shooting with some friends and should get to try the 444 marlin loads I have.
>>62880714Many gun makers have been cutting corners for a long ass time. With S&W it goes back to right around WWII. A pre-lock S&W is much nicer than the current models. A pre-WWII S&W is nicer still.

>>62880313>>62880301Man its really blowing my mind. Usually in a horror game or some kind of adventure where the character "finds" a gun somewhere its always either a super fancy iconic gun you keep forever OR its a crock of shit because its your starter weapon you dont keep or give a fuck about or is bad on purpose for balance issues.the fact its an old clapped out beretta centurion is shocking to me since its the first gun i "found" at a pawn shop once i started the hobby of gunsooming. After buying my first gun and i wasn't a noguns anymore, I was just hanging out at a pawn shop and they had this fuckin trashed out beretta just sitting there begging for me to buy it. It might as well have been in a hobo's shopping cart in silent hill.
should i buy a raven p25 for the lulz?
>>62880878Ian from Forgotten Weapons found a Benelli B76 in a pawn shop. Its one of my unicorns. You never know what you're going to find
>>62880886If you have to ask, then .25 ACP is probably too expensive for it to be as funny as you think it'll be.
>>62880878Just be careful if it gets really foggy out and you start hearing some radio static, anon.
>>62880886>buy some shit ass gun for the lulz>take a photo of your shitty gun>like 10 people see it and go "lol that thing is shit">that's it, you wasted money just for thisDon't do it
>>62879912>>62880797I use my HK bands as a gock ring (:
>>62880886If you get one get an mp-25. Best versions of the raven. I think someone on GB sells extended mags. Not the smallest 25 but not as bad as other "ROF" guns
>>62880550>>62880679>>62880701All good info. Thanks, anons. Will try and make use of it in the coming month.
>>62880922sootch said they were reliable though and he never lies
>>62880944Sootch thinks literally everything is good.I bet you could send him a rock and he'd say something like "well it's simpler than modern projectile weaponry but I'd say it's more outdated than obsolete, you can get some good velocity on it and it'll go on target"
>>62880933sure buddy. maybe if you folded it over 3 times
How dogshit is my grouping? 15 yards, SW M&P 9 2.0, 4in barrel
Is there a case for the "centurion" configuration IE compact slide full size grip like the Glock 45? What's the benefit?
>>62881037good enough unless youre a comp shooter
>>62878267>Any recommendations?as others have said, m1917 if you want to be screen accurate, and chop the barrel to 4" and braze on a banded front sight
>>62880660I get what they're saying about the crush washer, that sucks. Not sure if the new Redhawks have that, but to remove the two piece barrels would be a pain in the ass anyway requiring a custom fixture/tool/jig.The new pythons, based on my experience with the post-2021 productions, has been positive. They are machined tightly, 17-4 stainless, will hold up. I recommend you hold the example in your hand if you can.Best revolver is a tough one to quantify, because I handload stupid things at times and that means I gravitate towards the Redhawks for being relatively cheap and retardedly strong. The best revolvers are the ones that do what you need them to.
>>62880898You have to really love you some 25 acp..
>>62881049The full-size grip lets you grip the gun better so you can shoot good, while the compact slide is long enough to attach a normal weaponlight and get the expected performance out of most duty loads. It's everything you need (and then some) and nothing you don't.Additionally, many shooters prefer the snappier recoil impulse rearward weight balance associated with a shorter slide for reasons, and now that pistol optics are A Thing the sight radius offered by a longer slide is less important.
>>62881037It's not terrible, but you can definitely think less about "driving the gun" and tighten up some of that low-left spread.
Is it possible to buy a USP Expert then buy a Match compensator and stick it on the end? Or is the actual USP Match actually different?
>>62881169Yes. Match Weights sells match weights for Experts and Elites, the USP Match was a shitty stop gap measure since HK wanted a long barreled sports pistol but didn’t have time to design a longer slide like the Elite or Expert, so they stuck a long barrel in a USP and then put a steel shroud on the rail to hide the dumb looking barrel.
>>62881169The actual USP Match also has an extended 6" barrel that goes inside the weight. You can buy that barrel too, sometimes, when they show up. It doesn't have a compensator. If you want a compensator, you can buy an aftermarket 6" barrel that has ports or slots cut into it, which will work as a comp inside the weight.The Expert has a longer slide and barrel, it won't look like a Match and won't have the external barrel
>All this USP talkI have the .45 but man I really want a .40 S&W USP
>>62881198>>62881210Thanks guys. My hunt continues
>>62881261Cease this wrongthink.
>>62881352I have a ton of .40 S&W ammo that I desperately want to get rid of
>>62881355I would borrow a friend's gun and shoot it then. Much cheaper than buying a new gun
>>62881352ba da ba ba ba~
A gun to fondleA sip to sipA Abom79 to watchI don't need anything else
>>62881355buy a 10mm gun then
>>62881418NTA but won't that fuck the headspacing up?I have no doubt it'll shoot just fine. I just worry that when you go to shoot 10mm out of it again, the case head will meet up with a worn-down chamber face from the .40 smacking the edges on its way out and may not even headspace right anymore.

>>62877820Is there a PHLster Enigma model that supports the Beretta M9A3?
>>62881210>>62881292I'm pretty sure Jarvis sells match weight length barrels too, and in PVD finishes outside of black.
>>62881497Their Express Light Bearing model uses the Floodlight holster, which indexes on either a Surefire X300 or TLR-1, so if you slapped one of those lights on your M9A3 you could use it, yeah.
>>62881478too fat for that lmao
>>62881497Get the Enigma OS and then use a compatible holster from anyone. Several shops make kydex shells for the enigma specially.

Thanks to the anons from the previous thread I was able to deduce that my great grand dad’s M1911 was manufactured between Oct 1912 - Jan 1913. According to what my dad was told by his uncle like 15 years ago they think the firing pin is missing so I might look into how to fix it as a gift to him.Also it was pretty clean since it’s been kept wrapped in a cloth inside a drawer for decades.
>>62881613>92FSes are so damn reliableI still have mine that I received as a college graduation present over a decade ago. Never had any issues
>>62881628Firing pin missing might be a good thing, no need to have one in a 100+ year old gun. You would take them out for display guns. There is nothing to gain from shooting such a prized old gun and everything to lose. It shouldn’t explode, but if I remember correctly there was heat treating issues on early guns IIRC. Very nice gun in the family, anon.
>>62880047Just get a Hi Power. Nothing else compares.
>>62881666Everything was shitty back then.Shitty metallurgy.Shitty heat treat.Shitty parkerized finish.Shitty sights.Shitty anemic ammo.He should get a new 1911.
>>62880556Uh, is restoring and maintaining old guns funny?
Anybody with some Tokarev mags want to do me a favor? Could someone please compare the magazine catch locations between the M57 and TT-33 or Type 54 pattern? I want to weld some mags together (for stendo clipazines ofc) and Yugo mags are a tad to expensive for me to destroy
>>62880755Based Lone Eagle poster. It's so damn cool. You should get your bros to try to catch a pic of the fire ball that thing throws
>>62881565Do you happen to know any Enigma shells that use some active retention? Or is it all friction fit only?
>>62881824Many IWB holsters fit the enigma harness. Anything compatible with the modwing or an RCS claw should work.
>>62881824I have no knowledge of an IWB holster that has active retention.
>>62880858What make 1911 is that, Springfield? I don't have one and I'm trying to learn what's out there and who likes what. I want and older style gun but with not GI sites. That one is pretty close to what I'm looking for and I like it a lot.

Sooch and Hickhock are always glowing shit up, but if you pay attention you can pick up on the criticism. >The 95lb double action trigger is a little heavy and is as gritty as a gravel road but you can train to it, however I really prefer to have the same trigger pull every time.

>>62881961>>62880948Sounds like you two aren't strong and of good courage.
>>62881882Springfield Milspec is what you want. The GI style sights are taller and usable. Tisas Service Special or Stakeout and also the Tanker series are the same with GI everything but with taller bolder sights
>>62881037Looks like you are anticipating the shot, but it's good enough to put dicks in the dirt. Watch some videos, tighten your grip and do a buch of dry fire if you want to get better.Dry fire really helped me with anticipating the shot because I got used to not having the muzzel blast.

>>62882178>Easy killerkekYou're right to be concerned about all the other shit. Glad you made it out without having to shoot. Shitbull owners are the absolute worst, too.

>>62882163Lmfao that looks like a CoD monstrosity
>>62882215I would rather just use iron sights than pay a redditor $100 for some shit ass plate that lowers the optic like 2 millimeters and requires me to shave the locking block too.
>>62882155Dang, that is pretty cool and I bet 9mm feeds better that most other calibers, but honestly I'm going for feels over reals here. I like the lowered ejection port and squared off big sites, but I want a .45, preferably blued, and just kinda old school. I have plenty of modern DA/SA/striker polymer and aluminum frame guns. I just want an old school gun style gun for that Saving Private Ryan/20s gangster LARP. I guess it's pretty gay or whatever, but I'm at a point in this hobby where >I think it's neat is reason enough.
>>62882255He makes a version that is lower but doesn’t require shaving of the firing pin block plunger, low enough where if you had the Beretta suppressor height sights they would cowitness with the EPS/407K, it’s also slightly cheaper Eleven 71 design makes a 92 RDO plate but I don’t know how low it is, but it’s also out of titanium and not aluminum like DlahhShould just send it to Big Ernie to cut up
>>62882281Does Langdon give you some kind of cover so if you decide to take the dot off there isn't just a big chunk taken out of it?

>>62882295No. If you use the EPS plate the irons are low enough to be almost normal height, you just put an eps cover plate on the optic plate.

Nothing wrong with it though if you get one that runs, as far as semi-auto 22's go it's pretty good, there's not much to lose picking one up at the price it's going for. That being said the TX22 is objectively more reliable which is a weird thing to say about a Taurus.
>>62881924No but if the trigger is the same as the fuze (looks to be) it's REALLY nice and easy to put up great groups with.

>>62881895>Should I go back to college for archaeology? It would be purely for hobby and not my career.That's pretty much what I'm doing at the moment. I have a Bachelor's in an unrelated field and went back to school for archaeology for fun (though I'm contemplating a career switch).I'm currently doing a field school with a local community college. Doing it with a CC means less of the usual academia bullshit and it's been nice to go /out/ and get my hands dirty. I'd recommend checking out if any CCs in your area have an archaeology program. Plenty of entry-level work/volunteer opportunities as well. You do need to go to grad school if you want to be a "real" archaeologist to get papers published or be a professor or whatever.
>>62882370>>62882386Just saw the midnight bit. Nvm fair enough not a ton of great options especially near the airport genos works in a pinch I guess.
>>62881169No, the USP Match uses a standard slide.

The distance gap was just too great to make work
>>62878030Not super familiar, what's that mount used to get the flashlight on the pistol?
I wanna get an after-market stainless barrel for my pastagun. What do these sites like Barsto and Jarvis mean by "semi-fit" or "drop-fit" or "match-fit"? And how would I go about getting my barrel fit if its too tight for my slide?
>>62882389How are you liking field school? Do they take you to any sites?
>>62882435Understood completely. Shame it didn't work out.>>62881799I cannot wait to see this result. Really need to get another tokarev I miss mine dearly. One of my only good early gun buying decisions was grabbing a tokarev when they were still cheap and ammo was ~40cpr. Worse early gun buying decision is the C39v2 in the background that would fire out of battery every round just 140 shots into me buying it
>>62882476>how would I go about getting my barrel fit if its too tight for my slide?emery boards and JB weld
>>62882476This is the one picture I have of the guide. Barsto Semi Fit means you just need to fit 2 dimensions, the width of the barrel rails and then remove material from the breechface side until it fits. It’s actually pretty easy, just stick the barrel in a vice and use files. It’s best to measure the thickness of those areas on the new barrel and the OEM barrel so you know what direction to go. To achieve the best fit you should frequently test fit the barrel in the frame and slide. Be gentle and do not force it as I’ve gotten a little too excited and put the barrel in too soon and have had to hammer it out. 2 barrels of the semi fit only needed 5 minutes or less of fitting and they’re tight. Others took from 30 mins to 2 hours. It’s fun to do IMO
>>62882518Nta but do you find it increased accuracy or made the action smoother?
>>62882163How many fucking plates is that? kek
>>62882537Action smoother? No.Increased accuracy? I wouldn’t know since I didn’t really do any longer range shooting until I got the barrels but Barsto is a big name in pistol barrels. But seems very accurate to me, more accurate than my skill level allows for
>>62882518I am that anon. Neat, is there any visual guides on filing down the barrels?
>>62882377Okay… for on topic… do you think 77gr 312 dies could be used to reload 32-20, Nagant Revolver rounds, 32 acp and 32 mag? It’s a little light by the standards of 32-20/nagant>>62882307Btw, do you know if this mag is compatible with my mini? https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1366165411?pid=165411Local gun shop is selling this but cheaper
>>62882644>krakenits a cool bottle, but the actual rum tastes pretty nasty. good if you're just looking to get drunk fast i guess
>>62881924>Anyone here shot an Sig P365 Legion? Thoughts?Yeah, the trigger feels pretty meh for dry fire nut you don't notice when actually shooting. I can do pretty well with the P365XL at 7-15 yards. I can shoot noticeably better with a compact out to 50 or 75 where as I'm not even on paper with the P365.>>62882377Quick, tell the jannies, faggot. Get a fucking life, loser. Seriously pathetic.
>>62882642Not really other than that guide, there may be some stuff on Reddit or whatnot. There was a nice guide and review but the website/blog is no longer functional
Xtreme-S trigger group and decocker conversion are on the way. I need to find a stainless brig slide next.
>>62882676Dunno why you faggots have such a hard on for decocker only. The safety/decocker on Beretta 92s is the most elegant design out there.
>>62882676You just missed out on two auctions for Elite II slides
>>62882683The safety is completely useless. Why would you want a safety on a DA/SA gun that you can’t carry cocked and locked?>>62882685I’ll probably wind up waiting on Zebulon’s Lounge to put some more regular ones up so I can get raped on the price.
>>62882676>need to find a stainless brig slide next.WTF? Why did you buy the thing in the first place if you are gonna replace 80% of the gun? >Beretta is the new Glock.>>62882683>Dunno why you faggots have such a hard on for decocker only.>Locked and decockedYou bought the wrong gun. Why not carry in condition 3?>>62882661OFF TOPIC REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!JANNIES!!!!! JANNIES!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!
>>62882716>WTF? Why did you buy the thing in the first place if you are gonna replace 80% of the gun?I wanted an M9A1 frame.

>>62880679>Atlas plate, no idea but it’s atlas so it’s expensivehttps://atlasgunworks.com/product/optic-plate-system-rmr-and-sro>it's 90 bucks>trijicon wants 250 for theirsAin't no way
>>62881424Also NTA but I’ve out about 2500 rounds of .40 through a g40, mostly blazer and it still runs full power 10mm great and there isn’t any unusual wear visible.
>>62882718>I wanted an M9A1 frame.Beretta brain is real.
>>62882699Personally at the prices he does I’d just buy another Beretta Brigadier inox for 850 since you get a barrel with it too.https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1070636789There is also this
>>62882739Post your handguns.
>Hey guys, Ibjust bought a P226 and replaced 75% of it because the OEM couldn't figure how to make it good in the first place.
>>62882729Try finding someone to cut a slide for the atlas cut. Apparently guns with Novak sights aren’t compatible with the cut
>>62882741> I’d just buy another Beretta Brigadier inox for 850I’ve thought about doing that and putting the black slide on the stainless frame and giving it to one of my brothers.
>>62878331i absolutely love the baby browning, it's still in the same era of gun design but it came out a bit later in 1932. it doesn't have lethality or range or any of the things that everyone obsesses over in modern guns but these old guns were designed to just be functional weapons that were easy to carry and they have a lot of charm.
>>62882752You would bitch about people sending their 1911s in to Jim Hoag and Armand Swenson if you were alive in the 70s. Post a handgun that you actually own.
>>62882752That’s before or after the Sig P226 LEGION tax
>>62882745Why? I have before and the goal posts were simply moved.>Gun ownership clearly doesn't lend credibility.Anyway, keep buying mediocre guns and dumping tons of money into them, it's actually pretty funny.
>>62882770Still waiting on those guns.
>>62882770>>62882739are you enthusiastic about handguns? or are you just enthusiastic about being a dick and sucking PPanon's tranny cock
>>62882753Fuck yeah, just found onehttps://greenticktactical.com/1911-and-2011-optic-cut-for-atlas-gun-works-plate-system/>Apparently guns with Novak sights aren’t compatible with the cutWhy not?
>>62882759>i absolutely love the baby browningIt's pretty based and was the P365 of its day. It wasn't the best gun, but it was easy as hell to carry and who the hell wants to take a .25 ACP anyway? It really is quit charming.>>62882775Your just trying to deanonomize me and it's pretty clear you don't know who I am. Am I the weedgineer? Am I the simp orbiter? Am I Burt without a trip? You don't know and it drives you crazy. kek, you can't gate keep this thread and it just burns your ass. Just go back already.
>>62882799My guess would be that the Novak dovetail doesn't leave enough material for the plate to go on properly.
I’m starting to think this guy actually doesn’t own a handgun.
>>62882813Well shit hold on.Don't tell me I'm already fucked.
>>62882815No guns and secret europeans will be the death of these threads if we let them. Just ignore and respond to someone else.
>>62882819>>62882813Forgot pic
>>62882778>are you enthusiastic about handguns? H&K, SIG, Walther, olt, Steyr, S&W... yeah. I like a lot of guns that are made right in the first place.>Graphic depiction of homosex. I'm noticing a pattern.
>>62882822DSC says that it's fine >Atlas plate system cut eligible for adjustable rear sight slide cut for Atlas Firearms, note transition error for round top slides, atlas plate top transition is for around 0.400 flat top cut slides - Slides other than atlas with Novak cut DSC recommends dpo system cut because the Novak rear is cut deeper than the atlas plate can cover
>>62882759I looked up and found out the browning 1910 is as small as the PPK and likely the inspiration. It’s in 32 or 380 and can be switched out with a barrel so it’s a complete no brainer as a hidden weapon for a (covertly armed) archeologist a century ago.>>62882720I’ll make you a deal: stop calling me a tranny and I’ll be more boring >>62882661I mixed it with a can of Walmart coke so the subpar flavor of subpar rum is outweighed by the okay flavor of subpar coke
>>62882832Oh thank God.Alright, so my next step is to look for optics within my range that fit the rmr footprint. Shouldn't be too hard.
>>62882871>im a faggot screaming for attention.jpg
>>62882931Okay. Seems my mini is one of the older guns. Is it worth buying this? https://www.rugermini.com/accu-strut-socom-barrel-strut-for-ruger-minis-black/I’m inexperienced with rifles so idk if it would matter for me but I hear old mini genuinely benefit from the barrel stabilizer
>>62882370>Take her to PatsYou deserved to get stabbed and your friend deserves a better guide with better taste in cheesesteaks,
>>62880047Speaking from experience "feel in hand" is vastly overrated. The pistol that feels the best in your hand is not necessarily the one that you will shoot best. The pistol that feels best in my hand is a Walther PPQ with medium backstrap but it's also a Walther so it's snappy as fuck. Yes you should find something that is comfortable but it's not the be all end all. Go to a range and see if you can rent guns. Renting is expensive but it's even more expensive to buy a gun and then find out you don't like it. That said, you cannot go wrong with a Beretta 92. Even if it doesn't turn out to be your favorite or EDC, as you get into guns, you will want more guns, and a Beretta 92 is something you'll probably end up buying anyways. It has a large aftermarket and unlike the other guns in your picture, has kept up with modern advancements quite well.
>>62882483My field school is partnered with a local non-profit that manages a historical site they let us dig on. It's a win-win since us as students get experience doing real digs and they get free labor that help them understand the history of the place better. We've mostly found stuff from the past 100-200 years, but there's evidence of pre-contact Native American artifacts in nearby areas. Obviously this going to vary depending on where you live. But overall I'm having a good time and am enjoying the experience.

>>62882178I test pit bulls out by seeing if they bite me. I always dodge the bite, because the dog is dumb as a brick, and because most pitts bite so I know it's coming. I hate these dogs, they always try to suckerbite from the back. They never want to fight a real 1v1
>>62883138I can stop. Is that brace a good upgrade for my 1978 mini?
>>62883225You already have everything you need to anhero, what more can you ask for??
>>62882821Ugly ass gun btw. Dumb, stupid camo pattern makes it the ugliest gun in the thread. Looks like a low level upgrade in Call of Duty.
>>62882942Wait until you've had the chance to shoot it. Don't throw money away trying to accurize it unless you feel like it isn't performing up to your ability. Even a 4 MOA rifle will print fist sized groups at 100 yards and hit a torso at 300. Do you need more than that? If so, maybe you just need something that's not a Mini 14. It's a perfectly good defensive carbine as is and doesn't really need fucked with. The barrel stabilizer may or may not work, but at the end of the day it's a product for fudds that only value slow fire bullseye shooting.
>>62883287With every (you), twinktroon grows more emboldened. I just want to thank you for helping me burn this God-forsaken gen to the ground. We couldn't have devolved this hard without you. You are a true Biblical hero, like the 1 good faggot who lived in Sodom before the flood. Whatever though, idgaf if you're gay, that's for Christ to judge. You're an ally to me as long as you help ruin the discussion here. Thank you for your service.>verification not required
>>62878030More expensive
>>62882670Unfortunate. How much you reckon it'll cost for a gunsmith to file it down or if its even worth it?

>>62882942Idk and I don’t care faggot. It’s off-topic. Take it somewhere else.
The guy that whines about being "deanonymized" if he posts guns is weednigger. Who, coincidentally, defends the tranny to shitpost. He also has no guns.
If he were my boiwife, I'd buy him this...
>>62883729So he gets raped after putting 6 rounds of .25 acp into a 6’9 260 pound black man or so he doesn’t bleed out when it goes off in his mikes sticky holster?
>>62883225>I can stop.I have asked you very politely on multiple occasions to stop posting those types of images and yet here we are...As far as the accuracy strut for the mini is concerned you should ask in /arg/ or maybe start a mini 14 thread, those ten to get a lot of traction and it's been a few weeks since I've seen one.To answer your question directly, I agree with this anon>>62883287>Wait until you've had the chance to shoot it.It's probably going to be capable of what you need right out of the box, so to speak. >Improvement varies with individual rifle. In some cases there is no noticeable improvement in accuracy.It just tunes barrel harmonics so it will probably just move the group rather than tightening them up.

>>62884828Yeah, this is a pretty good lesson in punching down. Maybe bullying the maladjusted gay guy into killing himself isn't the victory we think it is.Maybe the real win is being kind to your fellow man and trying to guide him to truth and enlightenment.Bringing people up is much more rewarding than pushing them down.
