>>64301309 #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'll remember to take a picture of my new CZ75 over these sheets for you guys
>>64301314Ah, a /hg/ thread made by Burt. It's like slipping on an old glove.What is the next handgun you're all looking to buy and why? I'm actually considering that CZ-75D PCR on GunBroker that was linked now that the original Anon said he can't buy it.
>>64301343Patriot
I barely passed, the 5-7 rings saved me
>>64301412https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1127784765I 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.>>64301433Thank you fellow citizen
Good evening gentlemen
Tanfoglio steel compacts and sub compacts for 400, limited pro for 725 on patriot defense.The catch? All 40 s&w
>intewnet man say evwy singwe pawt difwentI 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.Barrel: INCOMPATIBLESlide: INCOMPATIBLEExtractor: INCOMPATIBLEExtractor Spring: INCOMPATIBLEExtractor Plunger: INCOMPATIBLESights: INCOMPATIBLEStriker Return Spring: IDENTICALStriker: COMPATIBLEStriker Spring: IDENTICALStriker Spring Guide Rod: IDENTICALStriker Spring Seat: COMPATIBLEStriker Spring Seat Pin: IDENTICALStriker Block: COMPATIBLE*Striker Block Spring: COMPATIBLE*DD block fits and functions in Hudson, Hudson block will not fit in DD slide due to optic cutBackplate: COMPATIBLE

>>64301464Yeah you got an absolute steal , Anon, congrats. I have my eyes on a 9mm USP. It's a local auction so I hope it doesn't go TOO much higher. It's currently only $140 so fingers crossed.
>>64301489>All 40 s&wEww.
Finaly fineshed printing the chassis. Just gotta install the frt and this thing should be pretty fun.
Thinking about a shield plus. Those who have one, any reliability issues? First smif
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.
>>64301550Every 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)
>>64301550A 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

>>64301556You don’t do that. That’s fucking ridiculous. If you do, prove it to me by showing me your best painted miniature and your 2000pt warhammer army
>>64301550Like every 5 minutes is good.
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.
>>64301559I wouldn't carry a .22, that's for sure. I don't trust rimfire for reliability>>64301563I don't play Warhammer. I only buy one handgun a year or so, it's not a bugnaskmto spend an afternoon familiarizing myself with it

>>64301736https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Rumble_in_the_BronxFantastic film. Fantastic weapon choices.
Became a firearm owner today. Of all the pistols I tried, the 92fs felt the best.
>>64301754Absolutely rad anon
>>64301754Congrats, 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.
>>64301797Thanks for the tips, friend.
>>64301821Yes. 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
>>64301821You 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.
>>64301822I 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.
>>64301654>FUCK!!!Just don't answer the door for a week. People forget.
>>64301860Was planning on getting it to a range this weekend and putting some rounds through it, very much looking forward to it
>>64301412Local shop near me has a 50 Alaskan contender with a ported 10 inch barrel…. It’ll fit right in with the rest of my collection… hopefully it doesn’t sell before December….
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 surfacesWhat 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...
>Beretta GeneralBased honestly
>>64301914Also, 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?
>>64301914Excuse me "Loctite 243"
>>64301914USE VIBRATITE VC-3 YOU FUCKING MORON
>>64301941No, 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.
>>64301412An 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.
>>64301958YOUR OPTIC MOUNT IS NOT HIGH TEMP YOU STUPID RETARDI 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. stupid fucking bitch
At this point I just want my P365 back and eventually a Glock 26
>>64301937based home tinkerer
>>64302007What happened to the 365? Annnd would you like to hear about the pistol savior known as the CSX?
>>64302052I think some bastard stole my P365 and my 686 out of my car that I left unlocked like an idiot
>>64301914Excuse me but you already made two entire threads about how you were incapable of reading or asking Holosun for screws or determining boomerlore from fact, we don't need even more of this in here now thanks.
>>64301519The 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.
>>64302073I wonder if anyone has considered putting an air tag in their AR in the storage tubes in case it gets stolen. Maybe if you have a 10rd cuck magazine you could fit one inside
daily reminder that none of you use FRTs and therefore are gay
>>64302103Well I dont live in a communist shithole so I dont bother with 10 rounders aside from having a few to zero my ARwhich I probably should get to doing but I kind of want to save up for an ACOG
bring back mouse guns
>>64302111I should pick up a few 10 round AR mags as well just because it's easier to maneuver while prone
>>64301754>firearm owner todayOmedetou! What's the philosophy of use behind your Retta?>>64301873Make sure to use DOE or IPSC silhouettes if you're shooting beyond seven yards!>>64302110Reminder that you have no auto sears and therefore are gay
>>64301314Just 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 meQuestions1) 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 ballistics3) why does it look/feel so fucking nice
>>64302171it's almost like metal hammer fired guns are inherently nicer than injection molded striker fired guns, join the club and shed all your polymer slop
>>64302190But I love my PX-4 Compact
>>64302192that one can stay, but it's hard to argue that if it had a metal frame it wouldn't feel alot better and refined
>>64302171I 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.>>64302073If I had a car I'd never have guns in it since it's just a big theft target in general anyways, sad to hear though
>>64302190Unfortunately I will still carry a G43x and compete with a G17 but yes. my 92a1, SP01 and now new P226 are the best feeling guns I have
>>643022069 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
>>64302209You should get a revolver
>>64302156Primarily home defense, wanted something that felt good in my hand, is reliable, and shoots straight. 92fs checked all the boxes for me. Plus it looks sexy.Thanks for the tip!
>>64302246I love my 92 but I don't love the grip. After getting new grips, it feels like a brand new gun. I love it. I tell you this to let you know it's an option in the future. For the time being, leave to stock until you git gud.
>>64301314have not updated collage
Anybody ever seen a colored weaponlight other than the green and blue Olights?(tan is not a color, it is shit)
>>64301821If you have one gun you don't know anything so shut the fuck up
>>64301335That's why you should get silver coins set in the grips. So they can't pick it up and use it against you.
What should.I start looking into adding to a stock 92fs? I have a decocker only LTT Px4 and I really enjoy that setup, so should I look into the TJIAB or are there alternatives I should consider? Any recommendations on replacing the grips or specific magazines?
>>64302092Was gonna try to tune it a bit to get it to run with my sparrow. Heard people are having mixed results with heavy springs and or adding weight to the slide. So ill probably try that if I have issues. I haven't seen anyone using the sparrow with the frt so no idea if it'll run or not (probably not lol).
>>64302264Here's mine compacted if that helps with compression. Cheers, collage anon!hg-qual-9-25
>>64301314burt how's your H9? does it run well? is it worth the dough? i've seen some pretty damning things about these and i wonder if DD has unfucked them yet or if it's abandonware at this point :/
>>64301335bros i kind of unironically want to have my CC blessed by a priest and carry silver bullets in case this kind of stuff is actually true. am i rarted?
>>64301412i'm getting a glock 21 cause i want to experience some of that big bore glock magic that everyone raves aboutthat or finally gonna acquire a kahr t9. cause its cool
>>64301454>>64302342>>64301619I see 24 holes so that's going to be -60 points for off paper, -25 points on paper, I count 215 which is a pass.
>>64301754you did good anon
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I looked at the striker channel too. DD has the same vulnerability to dry fire as the Hudson did. It's already quite noticeable after TWO (2) dry fires on this brand new gun.>>64302343No idea mane, dunno, probly not, they have objectively fixed some of it, prices seem to be blowing out atm ~$850, they might get cheaper
>>64302246>home defenseThen you'll be wanting 125gr Federal HST for your 92FS!>ThanksNo worries~ have fun and take lots of pictures>>64302365Phew, thanks anon! Am glad to have passed but I'll continue practicing with my pistol. My next goal is to keep groups within both A zones on an IPSC silhouette at 15 yards
>>64302073People be thieving hard these days
>>64302156reminder that it's legal to have fully semi auto and you choose not to
>>64302405I thought I remembered a sale not too long ago where they were $699 but that must have been the RIA 5.0 or something.
>>64302335The 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.
https://lokgrips.com/gun-grips/beretta-92/thin/checkered-grips/These are the grips I use and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. It feels like a brand new gun
>>64302335>LTT Trigger Bar and 14 pound hammer spring (or the entire TJIAB)>Thin grips, LTT sells some, LOK sells some, VZ grips, WC has some (VZ makes them)>M9A3 Decocker only lever, if you ever opt to take the slide apart, as the m9a3 style decocker is much easier to install than the 92FS safety
I plug the muzzle, fill the barrel with CLP and let it soak for 5-10 minutes along with the pile of slide and frame components. Never have to worry about an oiling stage this way>>64302440Both are legal per the Bill of Rights and you choose not to exercise them>>64302462>must have been the RIA 5.0 or someGuess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed for a rebate this year from Federal
>>64302522Can I just straight up turn my 92FS into a decocker only by buying an m9a3 lever!?
>>64301503Does goose even taste good?
>>64302587yes
>>64302535>Both are legal per the Bill of Rights(You)r interpretation doesn't make it legal, the courts do retard, FRTs are actually legal and you choose to be cucked
>>64302599Greasy and a bit gamey Chicken/Turkey. I think it bretty gud.
>>64301754Good 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.
>>64301335Not seeing an issue.
>>64302854Nta 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.
>>64303003Odd 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.
>>64303455Personally I don't think it's worth it. I've never used the safety on my Beretta while carrying it as I consider the DA pull adequate to the task.
>>64301754A classic choice. Excellent.
>>64303544I’m early into my conversions but afaik da functionality is preserved. Supposedly some feature decocker provisions can be made but unsure of what that entails. My angle is that it may play nicer with legacy optic mounts, I.e. aimtech. Operacion pimp my 92fs. Not sure what other work could be done. I do kind of like the Italian rollmark but front serrations could be groovy.
hows my 20 shot pinfire revolver for home defense?
>>64302854Should I get this kit if I'm planning on ghosting my Inox?Should I get the m9a3 lever and do this all at once time?
>>64301502
>>64303906No, since ghosting is only possible with the use of a gunbroker parts kit from a ghost or the LTT NP3 parts kit. Several small parts like the take down lever button and trigger pin are impossible to source in stainless steel so they can be only found in parts kits and Langdon’s NP3 kit Getting another safety lever doesn’t make sense when you’re going to get a decocker lever
>>64301314First gun
>>64304196>>64301754Run the qualifier test
Can't remember if I posted this here already or not, but we finally got Spike's pistol. That's another gun off the bucket list for me.I'd look at the modern renditions of the Jericho or other variants but just couldn't accept them as a substitute. I knew that I had to get the EXACT same model. And honestly> I see now why they moved the safety to the frame instead of the slide.I wanna say that I fucking love this gun and everything it means to me, but that's just a small little gripe that I have with it. Funny how the slide safety was the whole reason I tracked this model down, only to kind of prefer the frame safety.
>>64301754I love my 92FS, I hold it as my golden standard that I compare all other pistols to personally. It just ticks all of my boxes. Its not a perfect gun, but everything about it just feels right.
>>64301962You bastard, after getting >>64304241 this was the next on the list. I'm still recovering from overpaying for the Jericho though, so that ones all you.
>>64304269I have no knowledge about the Bebop infinity other than people saying it’s a fictional 6 inch gun and no one actually makes a 6 inch 2011 extended dust cover frame, I heard Limcat will be making some but no idea how to actually get one
https://youtu.be/k-1vrRuWHJs92 frt, what do we think of it?I have his tomcat compensator and it's neat but not perfect. The thing that turns me off is his website makes it sound like you need to take a Dremel to the gun rather than just the piece.
>>64304363Not surprised this guy did it. He posted here once. Maybe. I should.
Who makes the thinnest beretta grips? I think I might keep my 92fs afterall
>>64304196Should have got the HL streamlight
>>64304413The VZ/WC G10 ones are about as thin as they can get.
>>64304429Yknow if they’re thinner than lok thins? I promise to beretta post once of the done.
>>64304335Yeah, I had looked up a little bit of stuff on it and at the time it looked like it'd have to be a damn near entire custom job. Not something I'm ready to hop into just yet. Maybe another few rewatches will get me there though.
What is your favorite cheap ammo? I have some WWB coming in today and I wanna order a big-boy 1000 round pack. Is it worth it to pay a little extra for Blazer or Federal?
>>64304390On /k/ or hg? If it requires actual milling of the frame I'd want to try it on a clapped out trade-in before potentially ruining a nice one. Would be ultra sick in your auto 9 tho
>>64304539I like Blazer Brass 124 at its price point. I think it’s plated rather than jacketed like Federal, but I don’t notice any difference in fouling. WWB is noticeably dirtier to me. The Winchester NATO stuff is notably spicy, if you want that.
>>64304449I don’t, but I can’t imagine the Loks are substantively thinner, if at all. The VZ/WC ones are like sub-millimeter at the thinnest point, and only swell out to accommodate the screws. I also think that ultra thin grips are probably not necessary, and I say this as a handlet.
>>64304539Anything brass that's cheap and made in the West. If I have a choice I'd pick Blazer, Federal or another of the mousefart ammos cause I like low recoil when blastin :) I also like Magtech as it tends to be a little more accurate in many of my guns, but it's a little spicier than average. If you are looking at Winchester Service Grade that stuff is HOT, quite powerful, not weak, fyihttps://ammoseek.com/ammo/9mm-luger?sh=lowest&co=new&ca=brass&ekw=k7%20bps%20republ%20lax%20sterl%20ytr%20scorp%20maxxtech%20ATS%20turan%20x-for%20mesk%20igman%202a%20zsr%20panthI'm not seeing any GREAT deals at the moment but if I were buying a case I'd probably go for the Blazer 115, $218 shipped, from Velocity. Matter of fact I think I will :)What is "a little extra" in your context? What prices for which products are you looking at
The stall was getting rattled something fierce in spite of my only shooting with 115gr 9x19.

Just picked this 1911 up. It's pretty nice, looks unfired or close to it, haven't shot it yet. Pictured next to my Beretta 84f for size comparison as that's my other carry gun.
>>64305015Nice Springer. I like me a Commander-sized 1911.

>>64305121In the movie the villain has this, a fictional long slide
>>64305086Yes but since you are so invested in coded lingo it's unlikely you have the wherewithal to determine fact from fiction.
>>64305161Ah, okay, awesome. Was it an Infinity in the movie, or an SVI? They were still SVI at that point, no?
>>64305029So it's an officer frame and a 4" barrel, so slightly smaller than a commander but bigger than a normal officers. Fits my hands perfectly and it's just the right size for iwb carry for me.
Had an AR-15 in the trunk in case I needed to jive my way into accessing the 25-yard lanes but the staff was cool and let me use the rifle range without one.

>>64305230Tbh I don’t think Glocks are all that challenging to shoot in slow-ish fire, which is what this month’s qual tests, and it would be a big cope on my part to blame my tools.Credit to gray desk anon, he’s a good shooter who has been around these threads for a while. AFAIK he’s also a gun tinkerer, which is based.
>>64302292at that point, just embed a pure silver cross into the handle. piss off the werewolves, the vampires, and also a couple of demons while you're at it. and if you don't consider liberals to be demons, it will piss them off too.
Anons who build 1911s/2011s, what calipers and stones do you use? I already own some tsubosan hand files. Anything else I need for fitting? Got 2 slides in (in case I mess the first up) and I'm excited to start picking out the rest of the parts.
>>64305468Not a 1911/2011 builder, but have you checked out the Engineer's Armory channel? He has a good series on making a 2011.
>>64305468I bought the deep river customs frame rails stone kit. I bought their stones which are high quality and bought some crap Chinese knife sharping stones as well. https://deeprivercustoms.com/product/frame-rail-tool-frame-rail-reduction/It’s not necessary but it’s a nice tool I would also recommend a magnet mat or something to catch metal shavings if you’re not doing this in a shop
>>64304420Yeah I wish I fucking knew. I guess I can just flick it on and off real fast if I need a strobe
>>64305479Thanks for the recc, gonna watch his build playlist >>64305530Thanks and good call on the mat.
>>64305667The fix it mat is over priced, there are many chink knockoffs for a quarter of the price
Did one of you grab that $450 PCR I linked? It sold
Is the HK45c the best DA/SA .45 ACP for concealed carry?
>>64305849Its the only compact DA/SA in 45 available other than some retard shit like the boberg bullpup so yeah
>>64301314Are old Sigarms P229's reliable?Anything I should look out for?
>>64306011Stamped slide or milled one? The stamped ones could have their breech block rattle loose when the roll pin went bad. Other than that, should be good to go.
>>64306086how do I tell? It doesn't have the separate breech face like the m11
>>64306111Then you're good.
Let’s see laser beam anon do that with a real man’s gun heheJust pulling your leg squirt.
Is the FN Reflex /hg/ approved? Was saved from making the Nano trade yesterda and by gods grace I have another trade off to get a Reflex
These are on the best sale I have ever seen right now. I just took the plunge. I've never bought a gun from a drop shipper. Wish me luck, boys.
>>64306222>classic >picrelyou retarded?
>>64305289>straight from the horse's mouthFair dinkum, LBA!>>64306222Checked but couldn't you get a surplus 1911 from SMP for the same price?
>>64306222Aren’t these normally 899 bucks? Or is this a different edition.
>>64306298Same 01911C…Anon… what price did you get it
>>64306222>>64306307lol, uh ohhope you didn't pull the trigger at 1299
>>64306222Imagine buying the most crusty basic bitch Olt for three times what its worth.
>>64306252In addition to the scalopped trigger area, it also has sights that aren't ass and an extended beaver tail. It probably has a bunch of other things that are not clone correct to an M1911 or even M1911A1, but I'm looking to get all pedantic about it. I just wanted something that looked pretty close to an old style 1911 that I can shoot once a year and finger bang while watching old gangster movies or whatever, Faggot.
Burt is hiding many dark secrets... Did you know that in Classic, he played a w*rlock?A truly craven individual...
>>64306272>Checked but couldn't you get a surplus 1911 from SMP for the same price?Maybe, but I just wanted a new gun. Surplus is always a crap shoot when ordering online.>>64306298>Aren’t these normally 899 bucks? I think the first one I saw at the LGS was somewhere in the range, but I just waited and waited until it dropped and it dropped like $60 in the last week or two. It's actually the lowest I've ever seen it. Plus, I bought it from a place that doesn't charge sales tax and my state has nearly 10% sales tax!>>64306369If I'm going to buy a shitty piece of shit that jams, I might as well get one with a bit of style, right?
>>64306222Kek, forgot the link. It was like $735, not $1,200. Man, that would have been a pretty good shitpost, though. https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/098289112187
I just said "fuck it" and bought a police trade-in G17, hoping it doesn't show up beat to shit. Wish me luck boys.
>>64301314Any anons happy with Walther PDP these days? I'm looking at getting something to bedside/carry/drill with besides my CZ PCR. Local shop had the compact 4" with the pro trigger and an ACRO mounted to cowitness for like $1100. Seemed like a great setup and it felt nice in the hand.Also handled the shadow 2 carry and was a bit disappointed. Would be cool to have, but pretty overpriced.
>>64306402Based. Even if it is beat to shit, that's not necessarily a bad thing. It means you can either beat on it some more or have some fun refurbishing it. Either way, for $360, you're doing pretty good.
>>64306422I'm very interested in a full size PDP. I've got huge ass hands and I need a home defense. Walther has had glowing reviews from every gun nut I've spoken to recently.
>>64306455At that price as long as it shoots decent groups I don't care. If it's super banged up I'll just spray paint it fucking purple or do some other retarded shit with it lol. I bought it to use as a nightstand gun not a museum piece.
>>64306470That's basically what i've been seeing as well. Pro trigger was really nice, i don't really need a magwell or the basepads but its a nice bonus. Ironically the ACRO is kinda the turn off at this point. I don't have much RDS opinion but i've not like shooting through the ACRO window and would probably just do an RMR. I'll miss the deep cowitness cut though. >>64306402Worst case scenario you're gonna strip it down and and put some new stuff in it. Either it works as is, you refurb it nice, or you rice it out with temu parts.
Love me 92a1.
>>64306422>>64306470the PDP was on my shortlist of handguns to get and once i got one, i ordered the optics plate, slapped an optic on it, took it to the range, and...Its just another strikerslopIt's got a good trigger out of the box, sure, but i've modded glocks and a sig p320 + 365 to have better triggers. I didn't notice any kind of recoil management better than what i've used before.Its a GREAT striker handgun thats basically a buy once cry once, but its literally nothing special. You'd need to start looking into the steel frames or the Q3 match or investing in compensators and all that shit to get a truly legendary handgun.
>>64306533Yeah i've not heard anyone say anything that paints it as something magical. I'm just looking for something that shoots really nice out of the box in a package that I can carry. I'm not the really type to do a full trigger mod and still have it be the go to defense gun unless i put a shitload of rounds on it first.
>>64306373>I just wanted somethingI just wanted to be born rich but life isn't fair retard, sometimes your interests don't trump clear labeling standards. The original 1911, the classic version, if you will looks better than your bastardized version
>>64306660My opinion is the 1911 desperately needs the beaver tail and trigger guard undercut. The colt classic is called the classic since the average standard 1911s look nothing like the old "classic" ones. Nobody wants a year 1911 1911 for shooting and use.
>>64306533I have just heard Walthers are super reliable like Glocks. I'm fairly new to everything and have only been to shoot at ranges a few times with friends.
>>64306754More reliable. Walthers don't jam with WMLs, aren't subject to limp wrist and don't eject 360 degrees around the gun.
>>64306821Yeah Glocks don’t do all that too lol. And they’re just as reliable. They also have less felt recoil than the PDP series.
>>64306754The Walther PDP is a fantastic firearm. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
>>64306851>muh not all glocksThey are widely known for it dipshit. Oh and I forgot another common issue, mags don't drop free because wobbly plastic rubs against wobbly plastic. Not to mention the factory dovetail protectors (in a sight pattern literally NO ONE has ever wanted) which yeet themselves at random, front and rear. And Glock Leg which has plagued law enforcement for 40 years.
>>64306904Do you even own a Glock or just watch youtube? Because none of that is true at all in either Glock I own.
>>64306916>its widely documented and even has a nickname in the general conscience but it has never happened to ME therefore you must be making it up
>>64306929Yeah pretty much, you’re acting pretty emotionally invested in creating a narrative that has no basis in reality.
>>64306934>creating a narrative that has no basis in reality.>Yeah Glocks don’t do all that too lol.>And they’re just as reliable.>Because none of that is true at allMirror. Look into one. That's who's ignoring reality. Why are you shoving your nose into someone else's conversation anyway? It's almost like... you have an emotional investment in a singular possession, pastebin.
>>64306976I’m only interested in giving factual advice to a new gun owner on a public form, which you aren’t. I don’t even really shoot my Glocks anymore, not because they’re bad, but because they’re so predictable it’s just repetitive.
Oh I almost forgot, the biggest Glock flaw of them all, the Glocknade. Which anon will now say was never a thing.
>>64307002Wow, you went and dug up a whole collage from 20 years ago huh? Do you even own any guns?
>>64307002This image starts high school next year. They grow up so fast :')
>>64306385>wanted a new gun>with a bit of styleThis a display piece? Guess you can't go wrong if it's purely for coollecting>>64306402>bought a police trade-in G17Check under the sear for pic rel and get rid of it if one happens to be there. If your "connector" is marked with a plus sign, replace that bullshit with a 4.5lb "minus connector". If yours comes with a set of Trijicon night sights, you can have the lamps replaced for $20 each>>64307002>no Gen3 Glock 17's in the collagePhew!
Hell yeahhttps://youtu.be/hZ1orxXV2Gs
I got a tokarev from PSA recently, and I'm a big fan of milsurp shitso; lanyard, yay or nay?would be conceal carrying, probably OWB carry with a decorative holster
A while ago I asked about holster recs in hot climates that don't need a belt, someone posted a really neat one and I lost the link
>>64307646https://desuarchive.org/k/
>got a glock brand glock>got a sig p365 for ccw>what next>a revolver might be neat>a cheap historical gun might be a fun meme>1911s are bretty fuggin coolThoughts and recommendations on a 1911 if you don't mind spending more on one than a typical Glock, but don't want to spend AR money on a pistol? The Springfield Armory Garrison seems like a good balance, and I like the wood grips. Plus, it would be neat to go for something in .45 ACP to experience something other than 9mm. I don't mind going a little more expensive, but over 1k for a pistol is too much for my taste unless it's something truly worth it.Insight on wheelguns is also appreciated, but not as much of a priority, and I'd probably end up going full yeehaw boomer on one of those.
>>64307777checkedAnons have recommended Dan Wesson in the past.
>>64307777checked, and that springfield looks pretty good. It has the extended beavertail to avoid slide bite, those sights work great, the extended grip safety means the gun never fails to fire because you're not holding it tight enough. I have a 20 year old Loaded model, it's been good to me.
i cant be the only one who just enjoys fondling their pistol every now and then while wasting time on 4chan right?like my pistol might be shit by countless standards, but i just love how good it feels in my hands, i love spinning it, and i love pointing it at random shit on my screentheres just some sort of love between me and my handgun that i dont quite get between a rifle
>>64306660>I just wanted to be born richI bet you wish you were born white, too.
>>64306702It's not an extended Beavis tail, just an A1 style, but that has always worked for me.
>>64306754The margins between modern handguns are, well, marginal. The biggest issue is that with some of the less expensive/popular guns, you might be faced with a lack of options for holster and parts. The only real exception is that there is a significant safety concern surrounding the SIG P320. It would probably be best to avoid it.
>>64307390>wanted a new gun >with a bit of style Yeah, we live in the 21st century. I carry a plastic fantastic striker gun gun for serious use.>>64307600>lanyard, yay or nay?I'm not sure that would be a great idea for concealment.
>>64308027>Beavis tail
>>64307812What did you think dry fire practice meant? Vibes, papers, essays? I point it at TV and click. As always, make sure gun is unloaded.
>>64302073>my car that I left unlocked like an idiotDid you just start driving yesterday or something? Locking your car is like an on-autopilot level habit, you should be doing it automatically and checking before you walk away if there are valuables in it.
>>64307777Have you considered a Hi-Power or something similar? Having all three of your current handguns shooting the same ammo would be very convenient.
>watched Collateral last night>spent all night and morning searching USPs in .45If manlet Tom Cruise can handle a full size USP and carry it at 5 o'clock, so can I

>>64301519That looks so fucking weird, nice job anon.
PCCs are gay
Test
>>64307600>lanyard, yay or nay?Makes it worse for CC (nor that you should)Not sure if it's historical since the soviets were too poor and communist for cameras. Could be something that existed but nobody used.Either way the tok is a larp.
>>64308662It's ok to be gay
>>64309022It really isn’t. The STD rates are insane compared to the general population. I heard that a straight man who tests positive on a HIV test is less likely to actually have HIV than a gay man (due to the false positive rate of HIV tests). I’ve learned of the meth sex binges and many other basically satanic practices.
>>64309305I didn't really mean being some degenerate participating in gay orgies, I was thinking more about shooting PCC. Maybe cowboys, at the Ram ranch, but dressed, in leathers, civil, shooting lever action rifles, named after some random manufacture year in 1800s.
>Owner of one of the biggest gun stores in CT got arrested for stealing from BerettaLol.
>>64309433?
>1:30Would you carry this piece /hg/?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZ1orxXV2Gs
>>64308541>>64308549I’m a manlet and the full sized USP .45 actually is great for small hands.Because it’s a paddle release, the mag drops with no change in grip if you use your pointer finger. The feel is great in the hand. Significantly easier to use for me than a stock 92fs or m11a1 which are the two 9mms I have the most time with.
>>64309539>I’m a manlet and the full sized USP .45 actually is great for small hands.Would you recommend it over a P30?
>>64309539Which do you recommend over the Elite/Tactical/Expert?
>>64301820What the hell is that on top??
What should be done for beretta 92 threading? Should I thread the oem barrel or source a dedicated threaded barrel? If so, who makes the best? concern is being thread length on threading the oem but I don’t know a whole lot about this stuff.
>>64309623Beretta OEM 1/2-28 threaded barrels are like 160 on sale from beretta during one of their holiday sales. I would not use anything other than a OEM barrel except maybe the Jarvis .575-40 threaded barrel to exclusively use their compensator only with it
>>64309632Bless. It will be done. I’m sending it off for some work so wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Havent done a barrel swap before. Is it fairly okay to do or takes some work?
>>64308594Basic but good basic, also throw out the s15 and get the psa 15 mags
>>64309641Swapping a OEM barrel takes seconds. A match barrel will take some time to fit.
>>64309564Never shot a p30 so I’m not sure. I know for a .45 I strongly recommend the USP but I can’t really say anything about 9mm.>>64309587I don’t have a particular recommendation. The stock one I have is great so I assume the others with their little upgrades are fine too.
>>64307443this dude is insane doing this in germanylike there are probably less then 20 places in whole germany where you can shoot that iirc
>>64307443>>64309684He should do the qualifier.
>>64309539>the mag drops with no change in gripDoubt. Post a video.
>>64309619My Auto 9 replica. I have only brought it out to shoot once since it kind of is underwhelming in semi auto and it takes up an entire two pistol case. Spinning it like Robocop it’s heavy enough to pull its own DA trigger, I have a LTT kit in it with a sub 3 pound SA and ~5.5 DA
>>64309539>the mag drops with no change in grip if you use your pointer fingerThe middle finger pressing up on the trigger guard doesn't prevent paddle from traveling downwards like on Walthers?
>>64309899>>64310210I’ll try when I get home.
>>64308662PCCs are fun, hating on PCCs is some larper npc shit.
Can anyone help identify what this mounting system is for the red dot? Yes it’s from Stalker Analmeme. I tried searching up “rail mounted red dot” and it seems they’re mainly for 2011 race guns. Are there any other instances of this kinda setup? I don’t plan on using it, I’m just curious if it’s more common than one gun type.
>>64310260Carver universal mount. Neumount, there’s dozens of these mounts FAB defense made a bunch
>>64310260Yes, lots of companies used to make rail mount systems before milling slides became commonplace. They're pretty much only found on 2011 race guns now because that's what's best for Open division.
>>64308494Some days you're too tired from work and the gym so you forget.Lesson fucking learned
>>64309666but i spent so fucking much on them, one of the mags does jam a lot which is annoying, i hear the psa's are good
>>64310482I just noticed you're using the OEM mag release the s15's are gonna shred that up since they're metal and require you to use the shield arms catch
>>64310244Save your effort we've been through this a few times before. You can't hit the button without shifting your grip at all, you always must shift your grip slightly to reach any type of mag release.
Magtech or S&B ammo?Same exact price.I have experience with both and know S&B is European and therefor possibly more quality, but something about the name “Magtech” just strikes my fancy.
>>64310637I shoot fat stacks of Magtech 10mm.It's g2g.
Should you always use acetone on optics screws or is that just for reinstalls? Also can I use white distilled vinegar instead I don't have acetone.
I want a star megastar in 10mm really bad. They’re never on gunbroker anymore. Someone sell me one.
>>64304241I missed a 400€ Jericho last year (France, private sale forum). Guy sold it in little less than 10 minuts, I was second in line and it was already too late. Can't set my lo fi jazzy bebop playlist for cosy family sunday morning without thinking about it.
Are Rock Island Armory 1911s all forged parts like Tisas? I’m looking at the RIA 6” 10mm at PSA as an alternative to a Dan Wesson Kodiak at 1/4th the price, but unsure if RIA is ultra shit quality.
>>64310781The one they got away from me was a perfect Colt Python from the early 70s that was only $1300. It sold like minutes after I left the store. I'll never see a Python in that condition for that price again
>>64310660Rubbing alcohol is what you should be using anon, 70% is fine but 90% will dry quicker
>>64310637If they're the same price, it doesn't really matter. I do prefer S&B, but not as much as any Olin or Federal Ammo
>>64310781My Bebop grips arrived todayBut sadly I do not have the ammo to shoot with right now.I mean I do have 450 rounds of 124 grain 9mm but that's for the stockpile I am building up
>>64308988>larpto be honest out of the people I know of that enjoy a larp EDC they all seem to be happy with itlike my reenactor friend carries a p38 and he loves it, and i personally love how the tokarev feels despite being the nearly century old trash rod equivalent for handguns
>>64310801MIM, but while Tisas are machined parts the metal used is soft compared to high quality American made parts.
>>64309518at the very least there is no man that can call this guy a limpwrister after holding on to the gun so well that it fucking bends the wrong way
>>64310637s&b is hotter from what i've heard, i'll be getting it personally for one of my PCCs but i'd recommend something less snappy for a pistol
>>64310912For 10mm, Magtech is hotter.
>>64309518.44 magnum is my limit, no way in hell I'd shoot that
>>64310912>>64310925After shooting underwood, nothing bothers me anymore
>>64310826Oh sweet I have that. It should be fine if I soak off the little bit of thread locker that came on the screws right? I plan on adding more than that.
We always recommend 92s and Glock 19s for beginners or good all around handguns. What are good beginner or good all around .357 Magnum revolvers? Basically the equivalent of a 19 or 92
3, 2, 1 lets Jam!>>64311010686, Python, or GP100And to narrow it down to two, either the 686 or GP100

Has anyone shortened a beretta frame for a compact slide? Worth it?
>>64311070depending on the frame and slide you probably dont even need to shorten it at all.Info online is all fucking wrong now that AI scrapes reddit for fuddlore.Back when i first got my 96 i got into arguments with people here on /hg/ because all i did was buy a 9mm barrel and it worked. Tons of screeching about extractors and dimensions and breech faces, its all bullshit. If it fits it ships.The thing is all the slide safety beretta frames tend to be extremely similar, its the slides that vary in thickness and length and where the little notch for the slide lock is, etc.So if you already have a compact slide, just slap it on your frame and see what happens. Chances are the dust cover is NOT going to be the thing that causes problems and wont need to be shortened. You could even run full size slides on compact frames if you dont mind a gap.
>>64311070I can’t imagine why you would ever do such a thing, berettas are cheap. Just buy another
>>64311144Compact/centurion slide rails are shorter, you went centurion to centurion and did not go full-size to centurion.
>>64311153case in point, this guyshorter rails dont matter when the whole fucking slide is cut with one long rail notch from tip to tail
>>64311163The guide rod and recoil assembly is shorter, I am not home to compare the full-size and compact size together but the old beretta Fudd fourm said that compact on full-size frame does not work reliably. That’s why there is a difference in frames between full-size and compact in slide rails dimensions.I wonder if it’s like a 1911 and you risk frame battering
>>64311144>>64311148This may be insanity, but a beretta compact slide on a fs frame. Afaik could use same barrel but then thread that. Most components could be swapped I'd like to think and all it would take is the sacrifice of one italian frame.

>>64311620NTA but if it doesn't have a pony it's a phonyTisas makes a good gun for the price but I will pay a premium for a US made gun.
>>64311693Fair enough. Pony or not, the 1911 doesn't deserve the disrespect Colt gives it with the shitty parts, not for 800, let alone MSRP. Fuck if they aren't pretty tho.
>>64311791I think Colt and Springfield are the only two who do a blued 1911 that isn’t some mystery meat gun for less than 1000. Personally the blued Garrison is better optioned than the Colt but it has worse roll marks.
Italian frame shall be sacrificed. Enter the Betetta,
>>64311886Go ahead and ruin a frame for no reason. Without shortening the slide rails you will batter the frame, and if you shorten them then you took off the anodized layer and have softer aluminum (pretty sure that’s how it works) which still gets battered Maybe I’m wrong or gate keeping a trick from you, BERETTA HATES THIS ONE EASY TRICK TO MAKE A CENTURION
>>64311912Putting a compact slide on a full size I feel it impact the frame earlier than compact/compact and full/full.
Has anyone here owned a DP51? I don't have any practical need of one, but I think they're neat in theory.
>>64311912>>64311923The frame will refinished inshallah the spaghetti be broken. I just gotta figure out how to replace the legacy tritium sights. I’m leaning towards engraving Betetta on the slide.

>>64311040>>64311041I really love the look of the GP141-C. I'm trying to figure out how it compared to a regular GP100 and what the C stands for.
>>64301821Buying a large amount of guns is completely optional and it just kind of happens naturally over time.>I just have single glock 17 and don't know what to get for my second gun.It's really simple, glock 43 or shield plus. It might seem stupid at first glance, because they are also in 9mm, so redundant, but there is a significant size difference, you might be more likely to carry around a 43 rather than a 17.
>>64301821Having a tiny 9mm for summer and a big 9mm for the rest of the year is based thoughever
>>64312316This. PX-4 Compact in the summer, 92 in the winter
>>64306422You won't be disappointed with it. It's strikerslop so it's nothing special compared to some guns but as strikerslops go I like it the best. My brother has one and I love it, he loves it, we both think it's a good choice for anyone looking for a handgun. >>64307011Classic deflect and redirect, noguns turdie
>>64302052Just bought the 3.6" version. She's crisp. I might also buy the 3.1" to replace my p365.
>>64306422The CZ P10 is the best strikerslop on the market.
>>64312740Nothing will ever replace your stolen p365. There will always be a p365 sized hole in your soul.
>>64313090Better than a p320 sized hole in his foot.
>>64311620>plastic mainspring housing And an aluminum trigger, too. It's not perfect, but it's as close as I could get to what I wanted. I will probably put a brass bead front sight, too. Any suggestions as to where I can get a blued steel trigger and main spring housing would be appreciated. >>64311693>I will pay a premium for a US made gun.Very much this. I like American manufacturing job. So much in fact I even have one.>>64311791>the disrespect Colt gives it with the shitty parts, not for 800, let alone MSRP. That's the price of giving your employees reasonable wages and health insurance. They have to keep it reasonable somehow because if it is too expensive, they won't sell enough to make a profit. >>64311841>SpringfieldAre their 1911s made in the USA? I know a lot of their stuff is made in Croatia. >>64312007>I need more .45 ACPYeah, this is my first .45 in over 20 years. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to feel a 1911. I haven't had one in so long because they are pretty picky guns in my experience.
Is an NP3 coating supposed to look like this? This is a brand new never installed connector.
>>64308043>I carry a plastic fantastic strikerFair enough, anon!
>>64313431>>64313435None of my Langdon np3 coated parts has been splotchy
>>64313431>>64313435This looks like they didn't properly clean the part before coating. It probably won't hurt anything, but I think you have reason to complain to whoever sold it to you.
>>64313542I contacted overwatch precision and they said it’s perfectly fine but I’m gonna try to return or exchange it. I read more into it and it looks like they did shit surface prep so I don’t want it to start peeling off later down the road.
>>64313145Nobody makes steel triggers since it compromises drop safety. Aluminum trigger shoes are the standard for a reason
Am sworn not to bake and so I shant

>>64313719Is that all you know how to say now? You said you were done with /hg/ and /arg/ go on git
>>64313719Wastebin
>>64313633Well, what about a blued steel back strap.
>>64313881Like 30-50 dollars for a quality one. The EGW ones are obnoxiously sharp that you can take down to your preferred sharpness with a stone or file I used a EGW one on this colt
>>64313900>EGWI'll check it out. What about mags and ammo and mags? I was gonna order some American Eagle ammo and a mec-gar and a Chudd McCormick mag to see how they do. All I really remember about 1911s isbthat they jam a lot and I want to try to minimize that.
>>64313943I shoot Winchester Red Box as my favorite, makes nice round holes with its flat nose. I like Wilson Combat ETM 8 round mags, I got them for like 25 dollars each on sale 8 round mags aren’t universally reliable, I bought a Tisas that wouldn’t feed from an 8 rounder for whatever reason but ran fine from a 7
>>64310524that was before i put the s15's with the metal catch but thank you anon

>>64313090I'm not the guy that had it stolen. I still have mine.
>>64301976Vibratite fucking sucks. I've personally seen it come loose on like 15 different guns, and tried it once on one of my guns, where it also came loose. It's utter garbage, and I absolutely think it's only popular because of an organized shilling campaign. Yes, I let it "cure" 30 minutes before applying it. Yes I used a torque wrench. Its just trash.
>>64314847Nah fuck you It’s been solid on all my guns.
