Just ordered a Glock 21.5 to pick up tomorrow bros. Can I just slap a Holosun 507C on it with the included MOS plate, or is there anything else I need to know?

Outdrawn, his victim managed to persevere. Was the pistol optic the key to victory or did the perpetrator merely snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? You be the judge!
Saw the SilencerCo Sparrow for $236 at DACK Outdoors which is pretty crazy, feeling cute might buy one
>>64407798>he relaxedThankfully it all worked out in the end.
>>64407798Story? Fender bender leads to retard decisions?
>>64407833Fender bender with a off duty cop
>>64407833keepin' it real went so wrong the family said the cop was in the right
Forgive me lord, for I have sigged. Gonna need to get some oem grips for this thing.
>>64407870looks cute, i like two tones with wood on them to for extra gaudy

>>64407870have fun finding mags
oh shit the px4a1 is coming out
>>64407950WHERE HOW
>>64407966sorry I made it up
>>64407972I spent like 10 minutes searching and used up my one free phone call with James Reeves trying to find out about the PX4 2 you asshole
>>64407979the px4a2 is coming outthey skipped the a1 like how they skipped the a2 for the m9
>>64407821The reason its so cheap is cause if you buy it you're not getting it until the new year.
>>64408134That would be doubly good then because you'd get a $200 tax stamp discount.
Any day now, I should get my M&P40 police trade in back from the hospital.I think I paid way more in upgrades and repairs than what that gun is worth
Confiscated pistol is so ridiculously bad it's funny. They removed the Beretta finish, did some generic engraving, look like filled the engraving with gold glitter, and used a silver sharpie to make it inox.
>>64407903I thought about it but after seeing a couple examples I dunno if I'm feeling it. Maybe it'll grow on me. >>64407918I looked up what to do about that before buying and apparently there are a bunch on ebay so I'll try ordering some there.
>>64408395Tell us more
>>64408400Nice p239, I saw one with a stainless slide on sale for $300 once. Couldn’t snag it though.
I want a .22LR pistol to practice target/bullseye shooting with and use for general plinking. Should I get a MKIV 22/45, a .22LR 1911, a .22LR revolver, something else?I'm leaning toward a MKIV 22/45 right now, but have been considering a .22LR 1911 pretty heavily too but am sure a MKIV is more consistent which will be important when I start to get tighter groups.
>>64408629Just get the Mark IVIt's easy to clean, works alright, and I fucking wish I could go plink with mine because shooting paper gets fucking boring
>>64407759suspiciously cheap
>>64408650Meh, plinking isn't any more fun than paper when you get to do it all the time, that's why I want to start doing scored target shooting and maybe do some matches if I git gud. There's only so many times you can put holes in a rusty car doors or bust up old toilets without it also becoming old hat.
>>64408661Tannerite, my friend
>>64407833>Story?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNrg-j2QLJY>>64407829Id on the pistol optic? It looks like a closed emitter so perhaps an RCR / ACRO.
>>64408674>pay 400 dollars for le funny poof
>>64408629mkIV is cheap, reliable, fun and aftermarket is ridiculously large.
>>64408718If you're not interested in upping your caliber you're gonna have to pay to make 22lr interesting in some way.
22lr handguns are so boring I always end up getting rid of them
>>64407906Yeah, theres some competition shooter who has about 100k through his without cleaning and it's been entirely reliable.>>64408629TX22 has about double the capacity, a healthy aftermarket, and a frt out now. The ruger is more accurate, but the tx22 is already pretty damn good for accuracy and is more reliable than any other 22lr I've tried. Both are good options, just up to your preferences.
>>64407759Are USP and USPC magazines always sold out everywhere or do I need to wait for the next "wave."
>>64408395This Beretta somehow has less tooling marks on the slide than my brand new made in USA 92FS.
>"you bought a new pistol, or another glock?"enclosed emitter soon
>>64408422>>64408814Whoever it was confiscated off of went by the name BOT from the name engraved into it. They spent $80 for grips and a lot of time engraving every piece of the slide and barrel, but couldn't be arsed to give it a proper finish other than gold glitter and silver sharpie. It's like they ran out of money and time while on their meth bender.
I've discovered where my grandad keeps his pistol.
>>64409048
>>64408781>2 years with no cleaningThat's even better since I'm lazy and shoot far less than this guy. I'm sure i can go my whole life without cleaning it since I'll never shoot 100k rounds lmao
>>64409052lmao No, NOT in his ass!!! It's underneath some old stuff.I do hope that it becomes my birthright in the far future (after settling with my bro).
Talk me out of the Bersa Thunder in .380 ACP, I could get one for around $300 if I want.
>>64409114Just get a real ppk
>>64409114>bersawell for one, it's a bersa
>>64409114You could get a police trade-in glock 23 for $300 instead
When is Steyr USA going to get off their asses and import more of their A2 pistols?They were dirt cheap years ago, now they’re unobtainium. I’m mad at how much I liked shooting one. Olive frame L9’s, plz Steyr, ty.
>>64407870Good God classic Sigs are terrific. it's an absolute disgrace how far they've fallen
>>64409236I didn’t get the m9 ODG frame. Feels bad man. Did they ever make an ODG version for the L9?
>>64409271Saar, with CEO named Cohen and parts made in India, SIG will be super power by 2026 and we shall redeem the Google gift cards.
>>64408110Fool me once, shame on meFool me twice, shame on you for taking advantage of the mentally challenged
>>64409282I think the M9 was the only green version, I just like that the L had the chamber indicator on the rear. If the M had the indicator Id go for that, but such is life.

>>64409210Where's that book from
>>64409478Akino Suzume
>>64408629What about the Smith and Wessons? 422, 622, 2206?
>>64407759I've been carrying striker fired guns for the last 7 years. Just got my first hammer fired carry and holy shit I was missing out. Now a striker is my CC and a hammer is my open carry.
>>64409573Post your open carry gun
>>64409589Ruger GP100 357. Mostly for in the woods carry on a chest rig. I just am loving the option to shoot it cocked for hunting or just the option of a short trigger pull.
>>64409573Honestly striker and hammer both have their benefits and downsides.
>>64409552The Model 41 is an all-time great target pistol, the 2206 etc. are interesting oddities, and the Victory is a decent competitor to the Mk IV, particularly stock v. stock. The boomers in my bullseye league mostly shoot old High Standards with a few Model 41s mixed in, the rich dudes shoot Feinwerkbau or Walther GSP, and the casuals (including me) mostly use Rugers. Various flavors of S&W pre-17, 17, 617 revolvers also show up sometimes but usually struggle in rapid fire.
>>64409605What barrel length did you get? River revolvers are solid.
>>64409617*ruger
>>644096176 inch. So not the longest but its nice. The ruger revolvers are solid from what I heard.>>64409611100%. I would rather have a striker fired gun for something urban.
>>64408629.22 1911 kits can be a nightmare to get working but sometimes they work well. Marks are great, but so's a TX22! A regular TX22 will be less accurate than a Mark is capable of, but a TX22 Competition is about the same, with 16 round capacity, cheap mags, optic mount, threaded barrel and a better trigger out of the box (though a Mark can be made better with parts)
>>64408629>>64409665.22 guns are fun and cheap to shoot. So good for training aim. They're so underrated. I even find a strong air gun good for practicing with scoped rifles without breaking the bank.
>>64409665Apologize for what you said about anime.
>>64409639A hammer fired gun is also fine for urban carry but concealability is key and thus unless you can find a M9 Compact or as I discovered today, a Jericho 941 RS9 which is about almost the same size as a Glock 19, a Glock 19 will be your best bet
>>64409751>but concealability is keyThats what I mean. For concealing a gun, I find there are not a lot of good hammer options that provide the same ammo capacity in a compact. ergonomic package as some striker fired options.
>>64409665I'm not really concerned about capacity, since it's not like I'm going to carry it, just shoot targets and sometimes cans and steel with my ample reserves of .22LR. I am surprised to hear that a TX22 competition would be as accurate as a fixed barrel gun like a MKIV though, how is that? I have seen that you're a big fan of that pistol in past posts though.
I'm not letting this thought disappear on me."Pistol caliber" bullets are memes. The only reason anyone uses them is because they can't get to a long gun when they need one.In a life-or-death scenario, you don't have the luxury of being able to fire the entire magazine. Common wisdom says you get up to three shots, so the ideal should be a double/triple-barreled, rifle-caliber pistol with a fast-burning powder behind it.Rossi's gun only has one barrel. If it had multiple, would it be able to run revolvers out of the market?
>>64409780No, because revolvers capable of shooting rifle rounds are a thing.
>>64409776Because unlike the regular TX22 or T.O.R.O. or Compact, the Competition's optic is bolted directly onto the barrel so that slide and barrel slop doesn't factor into accuracy. It's not THE MOST accurate .22 pistol I have, that's probably my CP33, but it's about on par with my MarkSharing my experience, while I know most Marks are plenty reliable, mine is definitely not. My TX22s run circles around it in reliability, by about half an order of magnitude, and my TX22s are not magazine-sensitive where my Mark very much is
>>64409797The only one I've seen match .300 blackout for power is 480 Ruger, and that costs about 3-4x as much as one Brawler.
>>64409816Even if it's a 3 shot cylinder, it's the same price for capacity.
>>64409820I missed your meaning there.
>>64409827Did you miss the point of your original post too? If you think a multi barrel monstrosity edges out multi shot big bore revolvers, it doesnt
>>64409833If it's able to beat it in cost...
>>64409842Oh I get it now, what if we just made 9mm as powerful as rifle rounds? What if?
>>64407759>bargains Enjoying this P-85. What a delightful brick this gun is.
>>64409850By doing what? Lengthening the case and pouring more powder in?This is a matter of both cost and performance. With how much a BFR costs, a "multi barrel monstrosity" may be a more efficient choice.
>>64409573I've been carrying hammer guns for years, but I'm going to try striker since I have an obsession with finding a pocket carry that can be as similar as possible to my main carry. Striker guns are the only ones that can do that unless you go with an Officer 1911 or Sig P938 which are questionable. You can easily acquire a pocket-sized subcompact Glock and a compact or fullsize Glock that are nearly the exact same guns in terms of ergos, trigger feel, and controls.
>>64409802What's the most accurate non-.22 you have
Do you like microcompacts or do you find them too small?
>>64409879Smallest ones I like are HK's P2000SK/P30SK size. They say they're subcompact but really they seem a bit bigger than that.
357 magnum snubnose revolvers make no sense because you need at least a 3 inch barrel to start seeing the benefits of 357
>>64409893This could be fuddlore but I believe that unless you're shooting .38 Special +P, stick with 4" and above
>64409893Bait used to be believable
>>64409879>microcompactsI can't keep up with the differences in small guns and how they're described anymore but I have a 43x and a bodyguard 2 for my small cc's and love them both.
>>64409899Is he wrong? It’s a lot of wasted potential
1970s era chief’s special with a 3 inch barrel for $299. Yes or no?
>>64409917Depends on condition
>>64409917Yes assuming it isn’t completely fucked.
>>64409893Fuddlore, patently wrong, something fucking ppanon would say
>>64409917Yes
>>64409916Wasted potential doesn't mean it's not more powerful than .38 or .38 +P - just not as powerful as it can be. Yeah, every round will get more power using a longer barrel (up to a point). Even newgunz know this. But a typical .357 magnum carry load is significantly more powerful than a typical .38 +P carry load out of even a 2" barrel.I swear, the .357 vs .38 snubby ballistics debate is like the breakfast question but for gun guys
>>64409926The blueing is perfect and the lockup is tight.
>>64409879The P365 worksSo does the Shield PlusAnd the Glock 26 Gen 5 has my interest
>>64409957If you’ve checked it go for it. https://youtu.be/uH6rjzvguwc
>Mooooom! He posted it again!
>>64409893>you need at least a 3 inch barrelEven with shorter barrel, 357 magnum has more velocity, you can expect ~1200-1250fps @ 125gr factory loads, it's going to be faster than 38
>>64409875Centerfire handgunne - Sig P226 with Wolf steel caseCenterfire rifel - Tie between Bergara B14 HMR with Hornady Precision Hunter ELD 143gr 6.5CM and T/C Compass with American Eagle 50gr Varmint gray tip .223, both can consistently do about 0.8 MOA if I don't frig up though generally I'm a 1-1.3 MOA shooter
Any anons have experience with tanfoglio? I have a budget ~1750 for a new pistol and was looking off the beaten path besides what the people at the range bring
Am I just a pussy or does 357 magnum out of a 2 inch air weight 360pd hurt really bad? I’m in pain after three full cylinders to the point where I want to stop shooting.
>>64410029Yeah, it hurts. It’s retarded to shoot .357 in a snub. It’s just not worth it imo.
>>64410029If it makes you feel any better, the last time I fired this big son of a bitch, my thumb got bruised hard because my grip wasn't right
>>64410029It absolutely does hurt, I'd say it recoils more than a typical airweight even with 38 special, and 357 is absolutely brutal. Especially with stock grips that expose metal frame in the back. It might be bad enough that it doesn't just hurt but is actually harmful and may give you carpal tunnel.
>>64410048I actually don’t have much problems with 44 mag out of a full sized steel revolver. This little 360pd though feels like your hand is getting slammed by a hammer.
What is the best .44 Magnum?
>>64410048from the cylinder release? I had that happen once, but with different grips it is super pleasant.
>>64410029no, get better grips to tame a bit
>>64409954.357 is simply not worth it out of a 2 inch barrel due to the fact that it’s substantially more difficult to shoot well with it out of an already difficult to shoot gun
>>64410071Model 629, Model 29, or a Blackhawk.>>64410072Nope, I think the angle of the grips.
>>64410029No you're not a pussy, .357 out of an airweight snub is pretty rough because it's more powerful than .38. Some people even have trouble shooting .38 out of an airweight.>>64410034It's worth it if you want something more powerful than .38 but just as light/easy to carry. Some people want that.
>>64410029I managed to shoot an airweight 78 times with +P .38 special and my hand was fucked up and bleeding from the gun violently flipping in my hand into my thumb and webbing. .357 magnum even in a full steel snub is gonna suck. The point of these guns is you don't have to shoot more than a cylinder at a time.
>>64410071Nu-colt anaconda. It looks nice, has a great trigger out of the box, and can handle some crazy handloads. Rear sight and stock grips suck ass though.
>>64410078my speed six saved me from a grizzly without even having to hurt it, by being so fuckin loud
>>64410029Yea that's gonna hurt. The people who deny it are just looking for internet clout. Don't really see a point in .357 magnum out of a snub, let alone an airweight. Just use .38 and get a 4" or longer for magnum fun.>Inb4 the muh ftlbs are better than .38 crowd
>>64410109Based>>64410078Cringe. It may not be worth it for you, or for me, but it's worth it to someone. Have some imagination
>>644101092.75 barrel?
>>64410008tanfoglio?
>>64410119yes
>what if I told you there was another option 327 federal magnum out of a LCR falls in the painful yet manageable category while having CLOSE to 357 performance depending on the load
>>64410134full power .327 out of my LCR is less pleasant than full power .357 out of >>64410109 fwiw, but the LCR is obviously much easier to conceal.
>>64410141The speed six is a heavier gun which soaks up more recoil.
>>64410109Nah the grizzly smelled the stink coming out of your armpits and decided that you were probably too rotten to eat
>>64408629the 22/45 has a very similar grip to the 1911 but they are easier to clean and extremely reliable
>>64410161Post a picture of your Ruger Mark?
>>64410122Yeah. If they’re “the great” then that’s good to hear.
I really like the Glock Gen 5 line, I really do
>>64408879Holy shit that is grotesque but strangely appealing.
What do you guys typically use for carry belts? Anyone else CC a Bersa Thunder? Might need a different holster because the current one is quite bulky for my little Bersa. I own two ratchet belts but don’t know if they’re optimal
>>64410358I really want a Gen 2 Glock 17 or 19 with the Tennifer coating thst they don't do anymore
>>64410383
>>64410393I sometimes post that picture for lols but I’m hoping for some practical advice this time
>>64410405Men's slacks don't fit like that.
>>64410408Slacks? Those are shorts.
>>64410383Kore. They're perfect.
>>64410415Men's shorts/slacks don't hug the ass
>>64410383Block tuwu?
>>64410420Trust me they’re men’s golf shorts. My butt is just big and I don’t buy new clothes often so sometimes they’re tight. I am not a troon
>>64410383For my summer carry, I use a normal leather belt with a normal AIWB leather holster. With my winter carry, I use a KRYDEX Quick Release Rigger MOLLE belt with an OWB Kydex holster
i cc a g42 AMA
>>64410434Does your leather holster fit flush against you?
>>64410429Nah you’re on estrogen
>>64410161>the 22/45 has a very similar grip to the 1911Yes, that's why I wanted a 22/45 instead of a regular mark IV
>>64410450Never touched the stuff.
Been looking for a new full sized DA/SA. Wanted something steel framed or a USP. But, I found someone selling a P30L for around $600, are they any good?
>>64410479Not at that price.
>>64410479What existing handguns do you have? Do you want something familiar or something new? Either way, your answer is a Steyr GB
>>64410383I remember there was one other anon with a Bersa with a leather holster but haven’t seen him for a while
>>64410479>are they any good?they work. anything else about it (weight, ergos, cap, etc) only you can decide if you like
>>64410479The P30 is the VP9 but with a hammer.It's also famous as being John Wick's gun, if you care
>>64407870Remember when the 239, 3913 and K9 were the backup/conceal carry choice for semi auto, Pepperidge Farms remembers
First try at a “French Fit” case as a gift. Whole thing was like $20 in materials, got everything at a Michaels.Premade wood craft box ~$8Yard of dark red felt ~$3Tacky Glue ~$4Some stain I had lying aroundStyrofoam from a TV box.Took me probably 3 hours mostly holding down glue. Could be much better but it’s nice enough for this dainty bedside piece.
>>64410479I prefer a USP to a P30L. Yes, the P30L has a better rail and ergos, but it's ugly.
>>64410640Looks nice. Next time try some velvet instead of felt.
>>64410640hecking cute and valid anon
>>64407870Good get. You're going to love it. Those old DA/SA SIGs are among the best mass manufactured guns in all of history. This makes the Glock/Beretta/1911 fags et al seethe because they either know it's true or are too scared to try it for themselves. SIG master race!**(pre SIG America.)
>>64410658>velvetVelveteen.
>>64410793Find me a cheap Swiss SIG in good condition if you're so great
Tell me /k/omrads, what hk has the least recoil?I prefer the Lem trigger and paddle release but they seem to have what I would consider excessive recoil for 9mm, at least my p30 did, sold it for that and the trigger (v3) was awful and I couldn’t group wise it at all. My hk45 with Lem is much better. Can I get a heavier recoil spring for it to reduce the recoil? When I bought it I shot a rental hk45 that had significantly less recoil then mine, I think the rental was a German made one and mine is American made so it has lighter springs to shoot our lower power range ammo. Thanks.

good evening gentlemen
>>64411402Based
>>64410958I got the xl, I like it. I bought a regular 365 grip and swapped it on, because the xl grip poked out a bit too much while aiwb carrying, but it looked stupid and felt worse to shoot so I swapped it back. I still carry my 1903, draws smooth and shoots smoother.
Is it "cheating" to pistol practice at the 3-yard range? I'm more worried about the local George Floyd jumping me than competitive shooting
>>64411431this is the same sort of guy who makes fun of 'guccifags' for magdumping at targets 10 feet away.
>>64411431Do you really need to practice 3-yard range more than once though? Firing from the hip?

>>64411323>>64411331Why are you posting someone else's shit? Don't you have a single thing of your own to actually contribute to the thread or be proud of?
>>64411431No. But training is where you are allowed to miss and make mistakes in the effort to improve. If you’re shooting tight groups then try going faster or at longer distance

>>64411510I lost an auction on one at 3.8k on one at auction and the winner immediately tried to sell the gun again at 6k, still makes me mad to this day.This one is on my radar, just need a new barrel and get a new breechface for .45https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1132127661this guy, but .40 makes a bit of sense, I could do a .357 sig conversion for my "hand cannon" project but my target round for hand cannon is .40 Super and this ammunition, the hollow point loses all pedals in the first 12 inches and then the core punches to 16 inches. 135 gr at 1800 fps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1073cMmL7owI mean you're the guy >>64411323
>>64411530Did the listing for 6k get sold?
>>64411530>.40 SuperThis looks really interesting, might be the new 10mm, since 10mm is becoming too casual nowadays.
>>64411530>my target round for hand cannon is .40 Super and this ammunitionfunny you should say that, I have a FNP-45 converted to that. If you're in to reloading Tony Rumore who was the head of load development at Triton, and now runs Tromix is more than willing to talk about his experience. With that said some of his load data comes out to 70k PSI in QuickLoad
>>64411559
>>64411530>I mean you're the guy >>64411323(You)and yes thats me
>>64411541no, it's been weeks. it's now down to 4400
>>64411530Another fun fact is this round is so fucking sketchy and undefined that headspace differs by 0.012 depending on what cartridge drawing you look at. For comparison .308 GO vs FIELD REJECT gauges differ by 0.010, so if you do go down this route, I hope you understand how to check headspace
>>644114513000 rounds no problems. Accurate, even the kimber mag works. Tried a 20 round promag and that was when I got feeding issues. Year is 2020. Im guessing the custom tle 2 model is the work horse. Threaded barrel is a newish semi drop in from ed brown. Needed a little filing to fit but also works great
>>64411592>>64411530
>>64411502I don't care about the boomer bait brand or boomer bait paint job, but this thing reeks of freemasonry
>>64411599>>64411592would .400 corbon be better
>>64411592Surely necked case doesn't headspace off the mouth (still .007 difference lol)
>>64411655its weaker than 40 super.>>64411656the shoulder is there just for show. technically it'll headspace off of whatever dimension is larges. dont trim 308 ever and it'll head space off the mouth too
>>64410029Scandium J frames in 357 mag are just stupid. Those should only be chambered in 38 special or 32H&R. The smallest 357 mag that is even remotely fun to shoot is the Ruger SP101. I would love a scandium L frame 357, but the J frames are just gross.
>>64410071For what purpose? Carry? Innawoods? Flexing on insta?
>>64411359Didn't SCCY go out of business for being shit?
>>64411591lmfao amazing
>>64411699Yes. I think they had a shit load of problems
Anyone own a Mk23? Been eye balling one here locally with the green lower & watching a ton of videos on it. Grip felt smaller than expected but thats alright. It is 2.5k but I am still considering it, just want personal experienced review or whatever ya’ll might have with it.
>Trying to add custom parts to SA Garrison 1911>thumb safety of all things require filingThe fuck, Wilson Combat. I had to buy a file set and stress over filing off too much metal. Got it in finally at least. Now I've got an EGW grip safety and I can't figure out heads or tails where to shave off to get the fucking thing fit.
>>64411918Why would you start a project gun with gunsmith parts if you didn't expect to do gunsmith work on the project gun? Are you fucking retarded?
Do any of you nigger retards ever practice shooting from your car, motorcycle, bike, skateboard, etc?
>>64411967>Are you fucking retarded?Yes.But also I'm autistic and really wanted my gun to be all blued with stainless parts.
>>64411993>skateboard shootingThat’ll be a great read in the news tomorrow whenever it happens
>>64410094>Rear sight and stock grips suck ass though.Those are some extremely easy problems to solve.Now, if only Colt would do what Smith & Wesson did with the Model 36 and release a newly manufactured early style Detective Special.
>>64410640Neat. It looks really good and now I want to try making one.
>>64410875Few truely excllent things in life are cheap. SIGs made in Germany are really quite good, too, BTW.
>>64411431>3-yard rangeAt that distance, weapon retention (and not getting stabbed) is probably going to be more of a realistic of a concern. Make sure to look into that and consider it in your training.
>>64411918>I can't figure out heads or tails where to shave off to get the fucking thing fit.https://youtu.be/CriE_5Xzo34YouTube is usually pretty good for that kind of thing. Just make sure to watch a few videos to make sure you are getting good advice. If you have specific questions, you can ask them here, but you will get different results based on whether or not your gun/parts are on the /hg/ approved equipment list. Lucky you seem to be working within that list.
>>64411913basically everyone agrees that its a stupid gun. you're basically buying a desert eagle in .45acp
>>64411913If you like it, get it. Just don't mistake it for something it's not. I know they wanted a handgun that would replace a carbine, but it's not that. It's an obscenely huge pistol that shoots pretty nicely. It's cool. Get it for the "vibe.">>64412822>basically everyone agrees that its a stupid gun.Not true. It's a meme gun, but so are a lot of guns that are quite popular here.
FYI you can't play this game with a Glock
>>64412896If I want to eat a bullet, I'm not going to play games about it.
Has anyone here tried Norma 9mm ammo? I haven't seen anyone talk about it but the high penetration seems interesting
>>64412920Yeah, most “Norma” handgun ammo is actually relabeled Hungarian GECO that sucks dick.
>>64412859its a stupid gun because its 2500 dollars for pretty much no reason.
>>64412929It is in no way unique in this regard.
>>64411493All I have is this Colt 1911 classic, I do want to get more 1911s eventually, including older colts
>>64412952good thing i never used the word unique. is saying there are many stupid expensive guns some kind of argument for buying a mk23?
>>64412973Anon, no one is asking you to buy one. Besides, $2,500 isn't really a lot of money to some people. Now, go be a poorfag somewhere else.
Can I get away with adding night sights without a vise, or should I just take it to a smith?
>>64413121You can, but you need a brass punch set and a small hammer. For what you would pay a gun smith, you could get a good sight tool. That being said, taking it to a competent gunsmith is never a bad option.
>>64413121Literally just buy the sight installation tool from amazon and return it if you don't plan on adjusting it again
>>64413121night sights are stupid
>>64411685I believe they are really made with intention to be shoot 38 special then though rated for 357
>>64411993I've practiced shooting from the driver's seat at targets in front of and behind my car, but I end up with brass rattling around in hard to reach places, so I don't do it much. >>64413121I've replaced all of my sights just by stepping on the gun on top of a piece of wood, some of them I used small screwdrivers for instead of proper punches. Just go for it.
>>64413226nice miata
>>64411685the scandium mix they use for the TRR8 is fantastic. its a very handy gun for how large it is and its perfectly comfortable to shoot magnums out of.
>>64413093>how DARE you say something negative about an HK product!you rn
>>64413354Kek, I don't even own any HK stuff. It's more like>Just because you're opinionated doesn't mean you're right.
>>64413354NTA but the MK23 is a gun that shouldn't be in production, a US SOCOM fever dream "offensive" handgun. Comparing it to a desert eagle is pretty stupid since the grip is the same size as the USP .45 grip, the crew served handgun memes were created by children who never held one or if they did, an airsoft one. It's a large handgun but not really that much larger than a 2011 or 1911 really that's why it's 2500 dollars (more like 2000)
>>64413382
>>64413382yes and my whole point is that it is a silly gun and the anon considering buying it will feel remorseful. this will lead to him spamming pics of the gun on /hg/ or making threads talking about how the mk23 is actually the best gun ever made before he eventually sinks into depression and sells it to a gunstore for 800 bucks
>>64407870The the mischeif machine lower dude. Got one on my kosher glock. The Masada Slim and love it.
For my next gun I want a 9mm full size or maybe compact (no sub compact). Torn between Beretta M9, S&W MP, or Glock 19 (would like COA but prob not gonna happen). What would you recommend? Or should I get a different gun?
>>64413382It's a meme gun, but with the right expectations, it can be pretty enjoyable. I mean, it's a pretty nice gun to shoot after all. It's like a pistol grip shotgun or a mares leg leaver gun. Silly, but fun. That's why wer are in this hobby, because it's fun, right? >>64413412Wow, with your profiling abilities, you should join the FBI!
>>64413437P226/P229 (the older, the better. )
Range DayDo I run the lord's caliber, do some 9mm for a change, or break my finger on a pocket 10mm?
>>64413468Use the chad on the right
>>64413468Also somehow rotating the image completely mirrored the markings too
>>64413449>the older, the betterWrong.
How come nobody talks about .357 Magnum +P?
>>64410383L O N D O NONDON
>>64413619Because standard pressure 357 is more than enough.
>>64413619>.357 Magnum +PBut why? Or rather, does it just mean old 357 Magnum? Currently it's at 35k PSI spec and in the past it was supposedly hotter.
>>64413604Lol, lmao, even.
>>64413658I'd like to say you're at the peak of Mount Stupid but you've barely begun the ascent, gunlet.
Fiocchi came out swinging with this covertX stuff it seems to do well in all the tests I'm seeing and its way cheaper than hst so I can practice more with it
>>64413412>>64413382Quit being a bitch nigga. The MK23 is cool and a lot of fun to shoot. I don't have one because I'd rather spend the $1800 a used one goes for on multiple guns I'll actually use that are not HKs, but if you talk shit about Mark 23s it's because you're sour grapesing or a faggot. It's immensely cool and it actually works unlike Deagles which are not as reliable as they should be.
>>64413663Just because you don't know shit about fuck doesn't mean everyone is as retarded are you.
Old Sig guns good.New Sig guns bad.New Sig accessory good.
>>64413663Let me guess, you don't like the folded and welded slides in the original guns? KYS faggot.
What is your favorite handgun without a button mag release?
>>64413713S&W 60 revolver
>>64413700>>64413709You don't know anything about Sigs. The early ones are far crustier and have massively weaker components than even the worst years of Sig US production. They are not even in the top 3 best P22X production.
Guys the CZ BVLL Shadow I picked up for cheap is actually so sick. I'm going to get it optic cut and then it will be perfect.>>64411497Yes. They are fun faggot. I've shot them>>64411510The mimber stuff actually seems pretty good. It shot nice.>>64412896You can, but everyone's a loser.>>64413452Yep.
I can't stop coming back to glocks no matter what I try. I simply just shoot them better even if they aren't very interesting looking.
I'm still looking into the Springfield SA-35 even though I acknowledge it has some issues.If I am able to find one for really cheap, I think I would still get one, however I want to also upgrade some parts to make it the best it can be and not risk anything. What would be the best company to get these parts from? stuff like a new extractor and new springs
>>64413745Glocks are the crabs of the gun industry.
>>64413484Decided to take a suggestion from >>64411463and tried keeping the groupings on the numbers as close as I could. Results were mixed
>>64413773glocks are honda civics, chicken of the gun, and crabs
Should I buy this off my friend for $800? I kinda wanna try competitive and I think this would be a good start.
>>64413719Just because you type out some old garbage doesn't make it true. This isn't your gender studies class. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the older guns. The only reason they moved to the all milled slide was to handle the high pressure meme calibers like .40 S&W and .357 SIG and it is more efficient to have a single production method. You really shouldn't believe all the Fudd lore you read on reddit.
>>64413814thats a gud deal if it comes with the rmr.
>>64411497We don't talk shit on you for ridding five diffrent cocks in a row. >>64413723>The mimber stuff actually seems pretty good. It shot nice. or even most 1911s it's just luck of the draw of as to whether or not its little machine spirit is going to be happy. Kimber is expensive enough that people will bitch about it online where as with a Tisas or whatever they are more likely to just chalk it up to you get what you pay for. I can't count how many guy I've seen ITT sending Nighthawks and shit back for warranty work.
>>64413827It does, the tlr as well.
>>64413745Well, then carry a Glock and buy other guns because they look cool or have neat mechanisms or whatever. You are allowed to own and enjoy more than one gun. I mean in most states, anyway.
>>64413838I’m the guy with all those 1911s, I’m 3 for 3 for having issues with my Nighthawks. 2 of them had to be sent in for warranty work and one of them twice now. The other one had the extractor tension set too low. The MIMber has one failure to feed and one light strike in 400 rounds. I never lubed it so that could be the failure to feed. I’ve fired a mix of 230 gr and 200 gr +P out of it
>>64413820You're almost to the peak. In several more years you might have some actual knowledge.
>>64413795Gen3's are the Honda Civics Gen5's are the Toyota Camrys
>>64413762>I acknowledge it has some issues. QRD?>What would be the best company to get these parts from? Honestly? Probably eBay if you really know what you are looking for otherwise Numrich. Maybe Brownells.https://www.gunpartscorp.com/
>>64413847>the tlr as well.Well, at least you can take that off.J/K, it's a solid light, but the switch is very easy to activate. That's not really a problem for 99.8% of people. Does it include a holster? I think you are on the right track, but the holster would seal the deal. Any mags or other extras you could get him to throw in?
>>64413853czs are toyota priusesnothing wrong with them but people think youre gay if you have one
>>64413850>I’m 3 for 3 for having issues with my NighthawksBruh, you never heard if >Buy once cry once?Lol jk. Did you ever get them running well? It's my experience that 1911s are like old hot rods, they take a lot of work to keep the running well, but it can definitely be worth it.>The MIMber has one failure to feed and one light strike in 400 rounds.That's not too serious, especially with a variety of ammo. Like I said, sometimes you just get one with a happy little machine spirit. Sounds like you got one. That's pretty sweet.
Why wouldn't I buy a diamondback SDR 3"? It looks pretty slick>inb4 revolver badRevolvers ride just right when you're doing a lot of driving
>>64413851OK, Commic Book Guy. Whatever saves your fragile ego.
>>64413889Why not a kimber k6s, ruger lcr or j frame?
>>64413888The other two run very well.My favorite one, because it shoots 10mm so well with the wafered bull barrel, is back at nighthawk since the slide stop keeps prematurely engaging. I think it’s just engaging under recoil forces by itself, I see no interference with the follower and the slide stop leg. The first time I had to send it back was the slide stop leg was too long (9mm length?) and kept getting hit by the top incoming round while cycling and engaging. This time it’s just doing it by itself.My Dan Wesson 10mm has the same issue, did it rarely with 1100 fps ammo but constantly does it with 1200 fps.
>>64412896shes kinda cute, why the fuck did she end up playing russian roulette with a living version of the obunga meme. wtf is wrong with women bros
>>64413889>diamondback SDR 3Because you could get a King Cobra for a bit more or an SP101 for a bit less? IDK, they are all pretty cool.
>>64413911>playing Russian roulettelmfao this probably just a murder. Just like that one female cop who also died while “playing” Russian roulette with another officer.
>>64413897>kimer k6sOy vey>ruger LCRIt's an option, but the SDR is nicer>J frameI considered everything from a classic to the 432 UC but the reported smith quality lottery isn't appealing, and the SDRs look really well made. The only good smith I ever owned was an older 629-5.
>>64413906Bruh, I remember that from almost a year ago...Anyway, can you get stronger springs for that safety/slide stop plunger mechanism? Maybe drill .005" out of the pocket the plunger rests in? I've seen those plungers installed backwards, too. I guess let them deal with it since you paid so much for them.What's the TRP Operator gun?
>>64413859Main issue with SA35 for a lot of people has been the extractor breaking, but it also doesn't affect every single onePeople seem to also say that they don't like the trigger reset, and how solid the safety detent spring isSo my plan would be to replace the extractor itself and a lot of the springs, in order to prevent any future issues and make it feel more solidThere seem to be multiple companies that do sell kits for many Hi Power clones, but there are a whole lot of them so I am wondering if anyone knows which one would be the best
>>64413946I tried that, but it’s honestly not my problem to fix, it’s nighthawk’s. The slide stop engaging by itself under recoil is not the slide stop being too loose under the detent, it’s the barrel lock up that’s the problem. My other nighthawk, a .45, has this issue about 4/1000 rounds and I sent it back. The work order noted that the smith adjusted the barrel lugs to fix it. The TRP is my first 2011 build, .45, it ran 150 rounds no issue feeding. I got a nighthawk trigger cassette on sale for 200 bucks which started performing weirdly, the pull would change weight every time I disassembled the gun, the gun sometimes would have hammer follow and in one case dumped the entire mag - fed great for full auto. I was planning on having it optic cut and dlc finished so nighthawk is fixing their trigger unit (or rather it’s my gun that’s the issue) and optic cut/dlc finished also fixing the retardedly huge gap in the ejector tunnel. That’s probably why the slides were old stock surplus - no ejector I could find would fill the space. I didn’t clean the gun 110% before firing so my face got sprayed with some metal shavings which drew some blood
>>64413874Yeah, an owb holster and a couple mags. Sounds like the move then, thanks.
New thread >>64413999
>>64413961Thanks for explaining that. If it were me, I'd probably get the gun and see how it feels and address the issues I thought needed improvement. IDK how long the extractor thing has been an issue, but most companies are pretty quick to fix stuff like that since the gun market is some picky motherfuckers. I'd still buy an extra extractor and throw it in the box, but I wouldn't replace it until it breaks.Just looking around YT really quick, this looks like it might be pretty cool, but it's your gun and you are the one that needs to like it.https://youtu.be/w-lzY2pi-1M
>>64414211I didn’t know Apex made full videos for install, coolI do like the look of that new hammerI might do a combo of different companies to get each individual part I want, I noticed that BH Spring Solutions also has a spring-specific kit, and then maybe I could get the other larger parts from somewhere elseI will probably get a feel for the pistol first for what I actually want to replace with the springsBut to me, the extractor seems pretty essentialYou’re right, it is an issue that SHOULD be fixed pretty quickbut the SA-35 came out 4 years ago and people are still having issues, and then Springfield says they want the pistols to be sent to them for the repairhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=WGc4qk3LS-sIt might not affect mine, but it affects both old and new guns so there’s no way to know until it happens
>>64414275That sounds like a good plan. I have never done a build with parts all from one company. As far as Apex goes, I have never been disappointed with one of their triggers. But I like the SA-35 for it's old school look and the flat trigger messes with that, but I bet it is totally worth it for actually shooting the ting instead of just looking at it.Also, IDK how 1:1 the SA-35 is, but Cylinder and Slide has a fuck ton of Hi-Power parts and everything they sell is top notch. I didn't even think of that. I bet you can find whatever you need there.https://cylinder-slide.com/Category/BHPpartsDo you know where you are going to buy the gun? https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/706397943967
