Furries are a plot by werewolves to desensitize us to their true form, it’s only partially done, but they first started with sport mascots, then furries are becoming more and more visible in the public eye, soon you’ll see them out and about every day in metropolitan cities. They will become a protected class even. Then true werewolves will be free to roam in the true beastly form. Similarly to how vampires are using goths to normalize their appearance.

You should absolutely invest in silver bullets. And keep a clove of garlic in your abode.

I just bought a CZ75 P-01 for $500 so I can heal the damaged reputation it has received online from the past decade through sheer force of autistic will. It also has nearly $500 in added CGW parts. I talked about it at the end of last thread. Excited to use and carry it while it's colder and I can.

I inspected every part side by side. They will be marked IDENTICAL, COMPATIBLE, or INCOMPATIBLE. The difference between "IDENTICAL" and "COMPATIBLE" in most cases is superficial casting/MIM ejector alterations, not dimensional differences. I do not consider color/finish differences alone to be "different" so some things that are dimensionally and visually identical but for color are marked IDENTICAL but you can judge that for yourself.

Realistically often should you do a full teardown of your weapon for cleaning/lube? I'm a new gun owner and I have a feeling that if I took mine apart I would lose something or simply be unable to put it back together.
>>
>>64301550
Every gun I buy, I take apart and put back together ten times in a row just so I can get a good handle for how it works/goes together.

When a gun is in my rotation, I'll lube maybe once a month but I only clean if I get mechanical failures (rare)

>>64301550
A field strip should be all you need to do to clean, it’s not until very high round counts 10k+ would you be required to clean out extractor channel and perhaps the firing pin fire

I’ve been in desperate need of a handgun to carry but am on a pretty restrictive budget so I have been looking to make trades. I found someone interested in a .22 bolt I have offering up a Beretta Nano with a few mags and holsters. Anyone here have experience with them before? I know 6-8 round mags isn’t the Reddit meta right now but in all honesty I don’t feel that concerned if I just carry a spare or two

So as we can see when James Reeves said "every single part was changed," that was hyperbole. It was false. Not only are a number of parts indistinguishably identical, MOST small parts are completely interchangeable between the two guns. When Daniel Defense vehemently insisted to me that their disconnector would not fit in a Hudson, they were wrong. Here is a Daniel Defense disconnector in my old Hudson frame. It has returned full function to the gun--no more dropped resets.

I confirmed all relevant parts interchangeability with a pencil test.

Congrats, Anon. You're among friends.

First, get yourself some 18 round magazines by Mec-Gar. Next I'd look into getting a holster: AIWB if plan on conceal carrying, OWB if you don't. Finally, find a place to get good basic handgun training in your area

Multiple guns of the same caliber? y/n? Seems kinda pointless to me but I'm very new. I just have single glock 17 and don't know what to get for my second gun. Another handgun, a rifle like an AR or maybe even a shotgun.
>>
>>64301797
Thanks for the tips, friend.
>>
>>64301821
Yes. Just having to buy massive piles of 9mm makes life so much easier. You don’t have to bring different ammo types to the range and run out of ammo of the gun you want to shoot
>>
>>64301821
You could get a PCC (pistol caliber carbine) in 9mm. It would be cost effective since they share ammo. As far as what to get next, it would depend on your tastes and your needs. You have a very practical gun in the Glock 17 so you can either get another very practical weapon (an AR) or get something you think is just cool like a revolver or 1911.

Personally, I think every American of sound mind and body should own, operate and maintain an AR.
>>
>>64301822
I would also make sure you shoot A LOT. 9mm is pretty cheap so you can get a lot of practice in. Don't make ANY changes to your gun until you've shot at least a couple thousand through it.

It's amazing how mounting pistol dots is so eclectic and hard to find information on.
I've had a dot come loose twice.
So far Ive seen
>scrub all the threads with acetone
>use loctite 234 over 242
>apply a drop of E6000 adhesive between all of the mounting surfaces
What pisses me off the most is the complete lack of hardware standards, its a horrible mix of SAE, countersink angles and Metric.
I think all of the optics companies should come to a gentleman's agreement over standardizing proper hardware and mounting solutions...

Also, the front recoil stop holes are all wallered out like a used up pussy on my Holosun now.
It still mounts flush to the plate so Im gonna send it but still...

Steyr m9a2 project I've been working on.

The slide was cut for a Glock MOS footprint for a Holosun SCS, which was one of the only optic that could realistically cotwintness. Ended up having to relocate the rear dovetail and have new rear sight metal printed, thankfully keeping the trapezoid sights.

Grabbing a light soon and going to try making my own kydex holster, anyone given it a shot?

>>64301941
No, I'm shooting this bitch supressed and everything I've seen says Vibratite needs oxygen to set properly and can't handle high heat applications properly.
243 is the last step before red loctite, or just trading your pistol in.
Really the optics manufacturing companies need to come to a standard across all brands.

An utterly stupid purchase but something I'm willing to liquidate alot of my unshot guns to have

I just built a .45 ACP 2011, which in the 150 rounds for testing it seemed to run great feeding and ejecting, but this is the gun I really want.
>>
>>64301958
YOUR OPTIC MOUNT IS NOT HIGH TEMP YOU STUPID RETARD

I have maybe 5k rounds on my PX4 compact with an RMR HD using vibratite without issue. Vibratite withstands 10mm recoil fine.

vibratite needs 20-30mins to cure onto the screws before you install them, I do not think it needs oxygen after that.

The FRT fires 1,900 rounds per minute, but becomes single file when there's a can on the end (even a flow can). Otherwise, that looks like a sweet rig. The brace will help a lot, as dumping a mag in under a second really makes the thing climb, even if just .22 lr.

>>64302073

Just traded my VP9 for a .40 P229 without knowing anything. I got it because it looks good, that's about it. I'm a certified modern Sig hater but I decided that if it was good enough for the military it's good enough for me
Questions
1) I'm pretty sure it's an American slide. No german proofs, it just says "frame made in germany." I've also dated it to early mid 90s. Are these gtg or has nu-sig monkey fucked them?
2) should I get a 357 sig barrel or keep it in 40? I kind of wanted a gun that wasn't 9 in case of ammo shortages but I feel like this would be a good gun to experiment with pistol caliber ballistics
3) why does it look/feel so fucking nice

I luv me VP9... Sad. Anyway, if you have a .40 or .357 nig P229, you can make it take 9mm as well as the missing caliber of the three I just mentioned. You'll need different barrels and extractors, maybe some other things I forgot about.

9 seems like more headache than it's worth. I'm probably just gonna keep it and .40 and maybe get a 357 barrel since I literally don't have to change anything else out with that caliber

You should get a revolver

The TJIAB is nice, but a lot of people will say that 80% of the benefit is in just the trigger bar, so if you're pressed for money, just get that. If you want grips, go with the Wilson Combat thin ones. For magazines, most people like the 18 round Mec Gars.

Good choice anon. The only thing I highly recommend is installing this kit. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/92-96-series-steel-trigger-spring-trigger-and-d-hammer-spring-E00691
It's a cheap upgrade and makes a huge difference. It's also pretty ezpz to install, though the trigger return spring can be a bit of a pain in the ass.

Nta but I’ve never been able to get the hammer pin out so I never changed my hammer spring out. Oh well. Trs was easy.

Odd since I don't remember having any issue with that with either of my M9s, but you don't actually have to remove the hammer pin. You can just tap out the pin holding the lanyard in place and replace the hammer spring that way.

Speaking of 92fs/m9 guns, I’m thinking about sending mine off for frame safety. Is there any reason I shouldn’t? Figuring I can get the front sight modded for fiber in the same swing.
