Staccato XC or a P with a chunk port but probably an XC, extremely surprising to see. Not super surprising reading about cops doing competitive shooting where they can justify faster times = more effective in combat.

I remember everybody hyping the fuck out of these mec gar glock mags and as soon as they came out I started seeing guns jamming left right and center and other times the mag itself just falling out of the fucking gun under recoil. Absolute embarrassment to a company like mec gar.

>>64390906
I have one of those, it's shit. I bought it because mecgar makes good magazines for Walther, but I guess Glock is just completely different.

>>64390906
>Absolute embarrassment to a company like mec gar.
Yeah, as someone who was hyping them up before release it's astonishing they let this one release. It would be like if Glock themselves made an OEM magazine pattern that was a piece of shit jamomatic. I wonder how much of the testing before release was in the hands of staccato.

>>64390663
>extremely surprising to see.
In 2021 I remember my purchase interrupted by a couple of cops in a tulsa gun store asking for a discount on Staccatos if they ordered a giant bulk order. I didn't complete that order because I was very pissed the guy just suddenly stopped the sale to talk to them instead of asking for another employee to help me or them so I have no idea how many they wanted but cops have been blowing money on gucci shit for years dude. These welfare queens retire at 45 making 200k a year for the rest of their life on YOUR dime, why do you think they can't con the city into getting them $2k for some pistols?

I think it's snake oil anon. It sounds to me like you're doing fine with those HSTs but are just getting an urge to monkey with something that's actually good enough.

If you really want that smoother experience then carry something slightly lighter like a 124gr load

It is generally recommended that you keep upper parts stock for carry.
>16-20# recoil spring assembly
While it is best to avoid messing with recoil system unless you dramatically change the load, slide weight, or add comp or porting. If you put in a heavier spring, and it cycles, reliably, when the mag is full and when it is empty, and the mag locks back, reliably, many times, with that load. Sure why not.
>>
>>64391554
Dunno lol. I like the extra grainage. I'm absolutely sure that 124gr is dandy- heard lots of good things from citizens and officers who actually needed it. I just like the extra, especially when it's only like 1 or 2 bucks extra per box.

>my gun shoots too stout

Why are you people like this when the solution is so simple?

>>
>>64391790
>luckygunner
If you noticed, they use compact/micro compacts for testing only and shoot in clear gel which does not perform like real calibrated ballistics gel
>>
>>64391824
Tons of youtube tests out there with calibrated ballistic gel the 124gr HST is a well proven performer in various barrel lengths
>>
>>64391790
The Luckygunner tests aren't the end-all, be-all. They used an M&P9C with a 3.5" barrel as their test gun for 9mm. You can even see from their photos that the 147gr HSTs failed to expand because they used a gun that wasn't meant for that particular load. Federal HST is their law enforcement duty load meant for 4-5" barrels.
>>
>>64391836
That's a new change circa 2019. Before that the 147s were widely considered the best do it all load in 9mm by many as they performed well from all typical barrel lengths 3" and up. They made changes to the projectiles to improve AG performance. That's a bit of a shame for most as it means that you now have to use snappier ammo in an already tiny gun

I'm new to EDCing and pistols in general, help a moron out
I bought a shield plus some time ago and the store threw in some kydex IWB holster, I think it said Saya on the bag or something like that.

It was my understanding that there are basically two common styles of IWB carrying, AIWB and 4-o'clock
I was sure I'd end up carrying AIWB because it seemed more easily accessible, I was told it's the more "concealed" option of the two, it's less likely to be snatched without me noticing and I can't count the times I saw someone carries 4-o'clock because their shirt got under the gun.
TL;DR I was told 4-o'clock is more comfortable and appendix is more concealable.

But after EDCing for a while I found AIWB very unpleasant throughout the day (including the cross-draw variant which I also tried) and could only reliably conceal the shield with the flush mag.
And in stark contrast, 4-o'clock wasn't just MUCH more comfortable whether sitting, standing or moving (I notice it but it doesn't bother me) but I also have no trouble concealing the shield even with the extended 13-round mag.

So here's my actual question, what am I doing wrong? IS there something I might be doing wrong?
Since I'm new to carrying I have no frame of reference, I have no idea if it's me that's doing something wrong, if it's a shitty holster, if it's my body type (skinny-fat) or maybe it's just personal preference.
I still don't like the idea of having my gun behind me and would like to see if I can make some variant of appendix work, but the alternative is less effective and unpleasant

Get an enigma rig, it allows the gun to be placed independent from your belt line for higher or lower ride, with a small short gun you can ride it lower. Having the gun lower means when sitting it isn’t jabbing into your gut at the cost of the grip not being so easy to grab. With the enigma I adjust ride height throughout the day deepending on what I’m doing

Or see if you get some deeper clips for your holster

I mean I get it, but tiny guns 3" aren't supposed to be your primary means of defense. Glock 19 was the CCW gold standard for years until all of a sudden people decided it was too big once the P365 came on the market. Glock even made the G48 so you could have the same barrel length as the G19 in a slimmer package, but people still prefer the G43X and other tiny guns. It used to be common knowledge that subcompacts were backup guns to your primary compact or fullsize IWB carry. Now people think magazine capacity trumps everything while glossing over terminal performance and how JHPs were engineered to work.

It does tho, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and more shots on target is always a good thing.

Ok but those shots coming from a 3" gun might fail while the same ones from a 4" gun would perform as intended.

Clear gel is an even worse case scenario than calibrated gel, if a projectile expands in clear gel it's going to expand in calibrated gel but at the same time a projectile that fails to expand in clear may expand in calibrated.

Who does the best ballistic tests on YouTube? It seems like almost all of them just use clear ballistic gel. The HST 124gr seems to do great out of a 3 inch barrel in every test I've found yet I want to see one with the non clear stuff.

and all the way down at the bottom of the list is the caliber and cartridge you choose.
a hollow point just makes a slightly bigger hole. And it may fail to do so for a variety of reasons that include barrel length.
Ammunition manufacturers are also just like every other company in the modern day; trying to save costs by cutting corners.
Hornady got caught lying about the performance of one of their 7PRC loads after they changed the components to save money.
So when you buy ammo you really have no idea what you're getting unless you made it yourself.
That's why you reload. Better product for less cost and you worry less about companies screwing you.

It really depends on what criteria you’re looking for since LE ones make compromises for penetration requirements while you can get better expansion/zero chance of over penetration with others. Or you can get reckless amount of over penetration with those copper screwdriver bullets

I found carrying 4oclock had faster draws and was more comfortable especailly when sitting/driving so that's what I use. Everyones daily outfits and body shapes are different anon, use what works for you not what a spreadsheet says. I wear a lot of buttondowns, and appendix just seemed to get caught on them more than a tshirt. Make sure you're actually doing draw drills with the cloths you wear especially with fall around the corner. I found I had to completely adjust my draws for my winter/fall jackets by grabbing my right jacket pocket with my support hand and bringing it up and out of the way or I'd end up getting my gun caught on it 1/3rd the time. Your milage may vary based on what you wear.

Oh I forgot to mention, a dedicated carry belt REALLY helps with comfort and printing especially when sitting. I love my Hanks belt, but my buddy has a Kore belt and loves that, and some folks here say they have a Blue Force Alpha belt and love that. Because everyone universally seems to think their carry belt is awesome I don't think it really matters which one you pick, just pick the one that you would want to actually wear the most.

Anyways heres me with my 509c with 15 round mag in trying my best to make it print and it's still basically invisible. The holster, shirt, and belt you use matters a lot more for printing than the gun itself.

With modern designs you get 10+1 in a smaller package vs J frames 5 rounds. I think that's as good of an argument for obsolescence as any. Even though it is objectively obscelete it's still viable if you already own one, but I don't think anyone should reccomend buying one over a BG 2.0 or microcompact of your choice if the sole purpose is to be a tiny carry pistol.

Viable only because it’s a revolver and benefits from not requiring recoil to cycle it. Otherwise micro compact 9mms out gun it in nearly every other way. Revolvers can’t get around their fat cylinders while the bodyguard 2.0 is super slim.

J-frames shine as a backup gun for close range scenarios.

>no OOB malfunctions
>harder to prevent from going bang in grappling
>harder to disarm
>ammo trouble? pull the trigger again

All these qualities make them far from obsolete. I'd argue guys who carry microcompacts would be better off carrying a nyc reload j-frame rather than a spare mag.

New S&W 940, 9mm 5 shot moon clips, I’d never own one or carry one since a bent moonclip will lock up the gun. They can’t use not as easily bent half moon clips since it’s a 5 rounder either

>>64393646
Any of those small benefits pale in comparison to the giant rift of difference in capacity and ammo cost. "It's worse in every way except these small benefits" means it's obscelete. That doesn't mean it's not viable, just that there are other better options for 99% of users and use cases. I wouldn't reccomend a really old columbia winter coat over a brand new omni heat jacket because the omniheat will do the job better, but both are viable for keeping you warm in the winter.

Fucking faggot

But the real reason that you’re not understanding is that people trust certain ammo and certain guns to defend their life. If anyone differs, critiques their choice, it criticizes their most critical decisions and they’ll arguing about it personally. It’s like cars but not as serious, cars are a huge purchase so people research and come to a decision. Anyone telling them they bought the wrong car or ammunition, is like telling them they’re retarded. You’re acting like you’re above it all, but I’m infact above you, towering over you on this moral high ground.

I did not partake in the above discussion since I realized some people were taking it personally.
>>
so is there anything actually wrong with cross draw or no?
i know you flag yourself potentially but same with shoulder rigs, i'd do a shoulder rig but can't do shoulder holsters at all anymore.
>>
>>64394085
NTA complaining but it allows for easy access from attackers while your draw is more difficult when contested.

>Why don’t you guys take the run pill?
It is hard on the old knees. I prefer to swim. 0 pact total body workout, also bitches in swim suits. Unfortunately it requires an indoor pool in the winter and chlorine sucks. Salt water pools rule, hit I've never seen a gym with a saltwater pool. Maybe I'm just poor.

If you weren't an insecure faggot, you could just shake that kind of shit off. I make my own decisions and based on my situation. I don't get all ass blasted because some internet faggot thinks .40 isn't the optimal caliber or that a manual safety isn't
>le heckin high speed operator
enough.
I mean, FFS the 1911 is a pretty shit gun in current year. The only reason to carry one is because you have poor trigger control, but I don't really care if you want to carry one, even if it is a Kimber. So if an anon wants to carry a 4" revolver in a cross draw holster, either politely explain the potential issues, help him find one or simply ignore the post instead of being a shit ass.

Yes. The 2K11 apparently is doing great other than the safety, it sucks and I replaced it immediately. Apparently they have a revised one but I don't understand how products like this can get to market with such a glaring ergonomics issue, like the Staccato HD's grip and safety as well. It passed Ben Stoeger's test of 10k rounds. Unfortunately for me it's slide design does not fit in my expensive 2011 leather holster so I have to use a Floodlight 2 hence the X300.

I've only really seen positive things about the Kimber K6, I like how it uses dovetailed sights and not fucking pinned sights like S&W.

oh with the Kimber .45 2011 after ~400 rounds of .45, mix of standard 230 and 200gr +P, only one malfunction at around 300 where it failed to feed and one light strike which I can't tell if it's ammo (Winchester Red Box) or the gun.

Gun doesn't recoil that much at all, you can tell it's a .45 but isn't punishing to shoot, my hands did ache the day after but that's because I fired 400 rounds with at least 150 being +P 200 gr.

I will say that for a lot of people this isn't going to be as important a consideration since they're just tossing a gun in their pocket to run errands.
But since I work around the general public and carrying is verboten as far as the company I work for is concerned I have found through long experience that a j-frame is pretty much the only way (Outside of the really tiny micro-autos) to guarantee that nobody notices it while i'm lifting, bending, laying down, tying my shoes, etc.

Their quality and QC isn't much better than Tisas for 2x the price, but what you pay for is features Tisas lacks and a warranty service that if you do send the gun back you will get it back in a much better state than when you bought it new since they will have gunsmiths polish it up for you. Up to you if the extra $400 sounds with it for that, if not Tisas uses all forged parts unlike Springfield's MIM and you can get most models for under $400

It's genuinely fucked how good they feel in the hand. Thing Meister does a great job and I wish they made grips for guns folks actually care about instead of making shockingly good quality meme grips for hi points. My stock JXP10 grips had a gap between them and the frame and it would pinch the webbing of my thumb every shot, so while I was sort of forced into getting them I'm very glad I did.

The only thing they have over a Tisas is that they have a nice blued finish. Which can rust easily if you don’t oil it or store it right.

If you have the scratch, buy American. It’s just the right thing to do, but I would recommend buying used and looking for higher tier 1911s.
