586 L Comp is gonna be my next one if I can find one that isn't fucked up.
>>64522275
>>64522275Then I'll have to be entertaining to carry (you) ya big bore!
>>64522316My next will probably be a Charter Arms. I was really impressed by the two I played with at two different stores. I will probably wait for their DOA 22lr version to come out. The Double Dog looks really nice too. I am also a fan of the ridiculous gaudy colorful snubbies that they make, pic related.
>beretta 92gts>sig sauer p220What should I get next, /hg/? Something striker fired? I like the vp9s, but I also really liked the feel of a cz75 I fucked with at a range a couple weeks ago. Don't really think I need another da/sa pistol though.
Why don't you own an HK VP9?>inb4 your poorhttps://www.gunbroker.com/item/1131243262
>>64522471>osage countyI guess everyone is on crack there.
>>64522471Because I own a PPQ
>>64522435If you don't own a quality .22, then you're actually dumb.
>>64522508Nta, I already own a .223. Why would I need a .22lr?
>>64522275Don’t make any threads, fucktard.Faggot thread.
>>64522569>equating .223 to .22Thank you for confirming that you're an irredeemable retard. Saves me and everyone else from wasting effort giving an answer to you.Anyone who doesn't own a good .22 is actually dumb.
>>64522583what makes a "Good" .22 ? I have a Ruger 22/45 LITE , that I enjoy
>>64522569It's to shoot 22LR, padding your training time with inexpensive ammo.
>>64522583Bro actually returned to monky
So now that we have a fresh thread. Colored guns. Here's the concept, I don't remember where I heard it. You have a weird color gun and if someone lies and claims you were brandishing you can say "well what color did he say my gun was?" I know this is incredibly unlikely. The second thing is, does having a carry gun of certain colors create problems? They've made pink guns to sell to women for carry for ages. Brown and tan has become normalized through the GWOT. I feel like there were the odd OD green 1911s. What about this totally not real meme image of a sig with a white slide? Would people think it's fake?
>>64522602That's a good one. Any of the Ruger Mark series pistols are great guns.
>>64522316Do not buy a brand new S&W revolver unless you like buying junk.>>64522471Because I already own a superior P2000sk.
>>64522365This is what got me thinking of it. It's a Detroit Lions reference. >>64520791I'm probably not buying this gun, but the idea of cerakoting a gun in blue is appealing, in theory. I don't think I'll ever have to pull the color switch-a-roo on a bad faith compliant, but I don't think I'll have to shoot anyone either, yet here we are.
>>64522583I don't have a good 22. I don't have any 22. Why do I need one? I don't have property I can shoot on. Range time is too valuable to waste on a platform I'm not carrying. If I had land that'd be different.
>>64522633Call me a consumer, but if they replaced the bull with the Lions logo, I would have to buy one.
>>64522619>"well what color did he say my gun was?" Just another reason to carry a Charter Arms! lol
>>64522471Because I have a p30 and an imagination. I can fire it in single action and pretend it's a striker. >Everyone missing the point that the listing is for $30k
>>64522648If they made a Silverdome commemorative edition, I'd put it on a credit card. Ford Field has no soul.
>>64522583lol lmfao
>>64522643>platformdamn, he wasn't wrong. you types really are stupid.
>>64522739got em lol
>>64522653gross
>>64522739Sorry, weapon system.
>>64522769It’s caliber, but don’t let those retards tell you how to live your life.
I don't own a 22 and im probably a better shot than all of you lmao
>>64522822
has makarovs been known to go off without pulling the trigger in any way?
>>64522882Yes
>>64522897you mean like with decoker
>>64522739It's funny. I'm the guy you're replying to, but neither of those replies is me. What do I want an unreliable and underpowered round that requires a shitty trigger for exactly?
>>64522619If they think it's fake that's an advantage to me>mine's is real
>>64522947It's this yours? Some faggot troll was posting it as his and it looks like your wood.
>>64522947Trying to imagine scenarios where an adversary thinking your gun is fake gives one an advantage. Does some baddie with a gun hesitate to shoot first before you do? Does someone without a firearm choose to rush you because they don't think yours is real?Maybe if you have zero interest warning them off or deescalating and just want to mag dump them first it's all upsides.
>>64522619I'm thinking dazzle camo on the gun to confuse AI image recognition software.
>>64522988it's mine faggot
>>64522947So how do you get the frames blue? Are they taken off training guns or are you bleaching and Rit dyeing them?
>>64522508>quality .22

>>64523420you need to go back
>>64523440Eeeeeeh? Nani the fuck you!
>>64522471I picked one of those up used for 400 bucks a month after I got the SK. I liked the SK better so I gave it to my brother.
>>64523295>trailer chimp confused that guns better than the off brand turkshit and potmetal Umarex guns at his local pawn shop existThese are the kind of people who watch some e-celeb slop on youtube and then think that qualifies them of having guns as a "hobby".
>>64523563.22 is gay, boring and aids
>>64523563>YOU NEED A QUALITY .22LR
>>64523572Yes.>>64523566Malding.
I own two quality .22 LR handguns. They are both by the manufacturer, Taurus. One is black. One is green. They both have Viridian green dots on them. One goes brrrrrr. I am based and Tauruspilled. I am also a Taurus myself, so there's no point trying to argue with me.
>>64523625Why would I be upset?
>>64522275bros... this image has me feeling chuddy... wat do?
Has anyone here tried the new Federal HST 147 grain +P yet? I got a box that I plan to test this weekend. I kinda hope I don't like it too much, cause I already have over 1,500 rounds of the none +P and it would trigger my tism to start stacking both.>>64523538I love the VP9SK too. It's a very quick shooter. I carried one for years and shoot quite well with it. However, as a carry gun the CC9 is just hard to beat, since it holds more ammo in a smaller, lighter package, plus has a red dot (my SK wasn't OR).
>>64523698nice taurus bro
I know people are meming but I think a nice classic looking 22lr pistol is a must have and a great heirloom gun too.
>>64523811"heirloom gun"cringe
>>64523853Someone's not having enough sex.
>>64522365Has their quality improved? Tried out a bulldog a while back; felt kinda gritty.
i think the play is going to be getting some disposable wood grips made until that aluminum grip project becomes a real thing. im gonna take these off and preserve them or something.
>>64523874sick the image didnt attach right
>>64523874>>64523878there's a thread making fun of you >>64523468
>>64523878Id say to get those fake pearl grips some dude is selling on eBay but they'd probably look really ugly on it.
>>64522882hey you bums answer the question. Be useful for once in your life
>>64523883so there is, im not too perturbed by people lacking taste.
>>64522988
>>64523914>800 bucks for an RCR next yearFuck trijewcon seriously. I like mine but I'm not gonna buy another one.
>>64523899I hold an incredible disdain for people who choose quirky old guns for carry and NOT do their own research or whatever about it. They spin the “twink retard wheel” and it narrowly misses some fag shit like a ppk or tokerov and lands on the makarov. They see the grips are kind of shaped like a penis and then they love it and must carry it but they don’t know anything about the pistol, availability of 9x18mm, etc. they come here to ask that shit
>>64523926It's so over, best red dots are already Chinese, I almost suspect USA doesn't have a single company left capable of manufacturing an aspherical lens (buying it in Japan is obviously not manufacturing).
>>64523926Same. I like Romeo X as an alternative. Better in most ways too.
>>64523931The gun is drawn from a photo given the perspective. The poorfag manual window car is no doubt drawn from memory.
>>64523931Also he fucked up. The front of the grip is visible but the barrel crown is not.
>>64523931nigga this IS research. This ain't 90s and they look/feel 100 times better than any chinse corn toy plastic thing you own. Also stop seeing penises everywhere that ish weird bruh.
>>64523977>>64523974Likely he used a 3d model for the gun so I doubt he got it wrong
>>64523974If the muzzle is above the camera but the grip is below it, that's valid perspective. Note the absurd lens angle.
>>64523977The PM (Penis Makarova) or PMM (Penis Makarova Modernized) are inferior guns lower than ring of fire sns stuff. They barely work, they are way too heavy for what they are, which is glorified 380 ACP, they come from the days magazine springs used to weaken (just replace them if you seriously carry it), and critical parts would wear with very low round count duty use, suffering from stupid things inconceivable by modern hobby shooter, like non or badly hardened firing pins that you would need to replace. If you own a PM (Penis Makarova) you should oil it and put in a display case.
>>64523997Ah, a fine bait my reddit sir.
>>64523648I'm heavily considering the buying of the last TX-22 generation. I currently own a MkIV 22/45, it's my single .22 pistol. I kinda feel a second top quality .22 would be pretty nice. I say top quality because, not being a US person, I just learned Taurus earned some yearly award in 2022 or 2023 for the TX-22. Sounds rather serious, US shooters shoot a lot of .22 I believe. It's the only Taurus I'd buy tho.
>>64523931>ur carrying the gun for the wrong reasons!!!any gun that isn't a G19, G48, P365 or bodyguard2.0 are meme feels guns
>>64524042They all look like ass though. Whywould you carry that and emabrrass yourself
>>64524065its not a fashion accessory. if you want something shiny and gay buy an expensive watch
>>64524070spoken like a true bugman.
>>64524077what does this even mean
>>64524042Fag
>>64523162Most are FX guns rebuilt to 9mm>>64524005The TX22 isn't top quality, it's clearly built down to a price, but it's still an excellent, easily recoomendable gun for its reliability and features and blows just about everything else out of the water despite the low price
First time USP owner here.Holy fuck, you fags were not lying, the magazines are a piece of plastic shit, even the molding is terrible, and each one is arround $60 new, what they were thinking? The gun can last a lifetime, but those magazines are terrible.
>>64522275poor guy's crying cos he doesn't have a gun, that guy looks like reacher
>>64523897honestly might get all 3 for the meme, i need something in the mean time while i either get new wood ones or whatever the long term solution is.
>>64522882It has a free floating firing pin, so there's a one in a million chance debris could cause slam firingI dont think the pin is heavy enough to go off from inertia if you dropped it.Thw gun was carried by Soviets for a long time and AD reports are really rare. I wouldnt really worry about it myself
>>64524102Burt do you have any experience with the Beretta 22lr conversion kit? I know a TX22 is probably superior for a similar price point but I really like my Beretta and would like to shoot it even more, I just want to know if the kit is reliable and not super picky
>>64524207It's probably way-way less likely than any modern striker fired plastic pistol.
>>64524218Most modern striker fired pistols have firing pin blocks, so its basically impossible for them to fire if dropped.Scouring the internet, I was only able to find one instance of a guy having his slam fire, and I dont think I could find a single instance of a drop-fire
>>64524211I've had two. The first was atrociously unreliable, every type of malfunction you can imagine and some you can't (pic rel), plus constant light strikes. I'm talking like 5-10 malfs per mag with some kinds of ammo, never less than 1 per mag with other ammo. I got rid of it and years later got a second one. It's a lot better but by no means reliable, it has the exact same crazy malfunctions just about 1/20th as often. It doesn't like some kinds of ammo, this kit is picky, but it works okay with others. It's tolerable to clear jams or FTFs every few mags
>>64524211>>64524242Crap I forgot to add, other anons in here have them and theirs work fine so take my examples with a grain of saltI also also forgot to add I had to fit both kits as neither would lock onto my guns in factory condition. The circular cutout on the bottom of the barrel had to be relieved in order to close the takedown lever
>>64523347
>>64523862I'm too young to remember the old Charter Arms stuff, but the two I played with at gun ships were really impressive. They felt a lot better than my Smith and Wesson equivalents out the box. I had to actually open my Smiths up and stone them to make them even remotely shootable.
>>64524005I personally prefer the Keltec P17, but the Taurus is good too. You won't regret buying one if you actually shoot your guns.
>>64524094He's calling you a chink
>>64523524You are a pedophile
Waiting for BF sales for an opportunity to upgrade some triggers before CA's latest act of bullshit makes it harder in January. Opinions on carry trigger/spring jobs for 19.3 and single stack shield? Eyeballing overwatch and apex, but not sure I want to do $160 for a $350 shield, might get the mcarbo kit instead. Also glockstore is selling a modded Glock enhancement set for gen 3 for the same price as OP DAT/polyDAT kit. Unsure which would be better. I don't hate the Glock trigger and shoot pretty well with it, so lower priorityhope Langdon restocks the px4 trigger bar in time too
>>64524483p.s. I already tried some ghost connectors for the 19 and took them out, they were doing some funny shit to my plunger I didn't like, not interested before anyone says anything
>>64524487Try the Glock performance trigger. Normally, any time you make Glock trigger lighter, it loses out some reliability. However, with GPT, they also make the trigger shoe uglier, which compensates for that loss and brings reliable operation back. Make sure you do NOT substitute a riced up shoe.

>>64525039>NORMIEEEES>GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT>>64525026Because the "goodness" of a gun depends on political climate with these retards. They are allergic to considering things objectively. For example, I have a Chinese gun. They already seethe and mald because le evil CCP. Doesnt matter how good the gun is, which is breddy gud, what matters is how they feel about China.
>>64525044>"goodness" of a gun depends on political climate with these retardsIndirectly it was affected exactly by political climate, because when izhmash imports were going for 150-250, and steel ammo for it was cheap and plentiful, and alternatives were shit, makarov made sense.Now that a mak costs more than a trade-in G23 or M&P, steel case ammo is gone, and brass stuff costs as much as 10mm, things like post-war soviet manufacturing tolerances, fit and finish, are much harder to forgive.

>>64525143It's gear made for carrying specifically without a belt, or rather, it's still a belt, just assumes your clothing doesn't have one, or for some reason you need to use a redundant one. While heavily trannycoded, regular men do still sometimes wear clothing that requires this, or can get into situations that call for a belt like that. It's not inherently feminine in any way.

I haven't had the apparatus to test personally, but I suspect it's like the p365 of holsters. It takes a desired attribute to such an extreme that many will but it then soon stop using it in favor of more traditional methods.There's a lot of shill-ey videos recommending it and more than one "why I stopped using the enigma" videos.

I made the mistake of shooting that spicy Czech ammo from it once and the case ejected at Mach 10 and hit me in the face. Fun times.

>>64525441Nice try agent Gomez
>>64525398For carry? I use my 38 special handloads. They're usually a Speer 158 grain LSWCHP bullet (Speer LSWCHPs are nice and soft so they expand well) at a stiff, but not maxed out +P pressure. It works great even out of snubbies. I also sometimes load and carry +P hardcast 158 grain SWCs for innawoods. I will occasionally carry 380 and use either 90 grain XTP handloads or flat nose Winchester FMJ. I have several other handguns that I could carry, but I just don't feel the need to bother loading any defensive loads for them.
>>64525410If you like 7.62x25, but hate the tok, you could get into 357 Sig. It's basically the same thing, only better.
>>64525414I keep flip flopping on the idea. Most of my pistols are in 9mm and I’d rather just practice on those. Basically why hoard bricks of .22lr when you could just simplify ammo inventory? I haven’t found a .22lr pistol I like (including the mkiv) too. Plus it leaves a godawful mess at the range. I’m not dispatching small game at this time either. I’ve had to resort to creative methods to dispatch pests getting into my garden due to overpen concerns. Long term, when I have a larger garden, I may consider a bolty but at that point why not just blast them with something else? I’ve also considered a revolver or 10-22 but neither of those are really exciting to me. Given the choice, I’d rather keep my blackpowder and ditch the .22lr.

>>64525480I’ve considered it but that’s at a minimum a new barrel or gun. I also really enjoy the concept of 5.7 too, but I’m kind of at the point where I’d rather consolidate and shoot what I’ve got on hand.

>>64525494Yeah I do. My shit is much more consistent and higher quality than any factory load. I even seal it to keep moisture from leaking in and making it less reliable after it has been carried for a while. They're legitimately waterproof. I even tested them to make sure. Had the thing sit in a quart zip lock full of water for a week then shot them and all 20 that I threw in there fired. I weigh every single powder charge my loads have higher velocity than practically every factory 38 special load other than Buffalo Bore and similar boutique companies. I have even replicated that old double round ball load that remington used to make. If you get really into reloading you can do all sorts of cool stuff like that.
>>64525673Have you tested them in gel or anything at all?
>>64525658There are multiple HKtards here, not just Burt. There's even some dumbass that carries a Mk 23 with an optic on it. In any case a $2500 1911 is a better range toy than a $2500 Mk 23, my point is there's no reason to buy a Mk 23 unless you want a Mk 23, and if you want a Mk 23 nothing else will take its place since it's fairly unique.And yes I've handled both, that's why I have been stalking gun.deals for a Mk 23 on sale. USP Elites are cheaper and probably a better range toy, but I want a Mk 23.
>>64525672Literal nigger lmfao go back
>>64525658The elite is probably the most accessible, I think I’ve seen them less than 1k used. Get a match weight to hide the antelope nose if you don’t like it
Any idea how to fix the finish so it doesnt rust? High iq replies only por favor
>>64525691Those green letters are superimposed, no need to worry, anon.
>>64525638I shot a coyote with it once out of my snub and I pulled an expanded bullet out. Soft Lead hollow points do expand even out of snubbies. Most factory loaded lead hollow point bullets are too hard, but I specifically use the speer version because they are soft enough to expand out of short barrels. The downside is that they will break apart and lead the fuck out of your barrel of you make 357 magnum loads with them.
>>64525683You have 0 right to act whiter than anyone. You seethe at countries that are whiter than yours.
>>64525677I've shot water jugs, a coyote, and used a chronograph. I don't really consider water jugs to be a very good testing medium, but it's something. I don't really have anything to mold a proper gel block so I haven't bothered with that. Maybe I will eventually get around to buying a mold and finally do a proper gel test, but gel is a pain in the ass to deal with so I probably won't bother unless I want to try to start a YouTube channel or something.
>>64525715Coyote is a good ballistic test medium
I'm white, what handgun should I buy?
>>64525691Bro first you gotta get rid of those rust seeds, or seal them. Like some bakemono or something. If you opt to seal them you'll need to keep them demon seeds from contact with that which may oxidize them(pro tip OXIgen[aka air] OXYDIZES). If you opt to get rid of them there demon seeds then you're gonna want a light abrasive(NOT STEEL WOOL). You can use a toothbrush if they're really light but will likely need to use the METHMANS favorite brillo pads or worse yet the BRASS BULL(wool). Just keep it light OR keep it focused on the DEMON SEEDS and not the surrounding area. One they're removed you may need to COLD BLUE the areas where finish was removed. Or NOT if youre a bad enough ahmbre. Stuff like EEZ-OX is a really great rust PREVENTER but is also highly CARCINOGENIC(aka good at doing its job) so that's a good option too. alternatively you can just keep it SLOPPY DRIPPIN WET with oil while buffing off any areas of extra corrosion but that's a bit of an annoyance if you actually want to use the thing or just ignore it for a while instead of watching it like a HAWK. the trv FINAL SOLUTION would be to aggressively buff off all corrosion without removing metal and REFINISH the gun, even some COLD blue would work for that and provide LONG TERM protection without looking as FCUKSTUPD as duracoat or cerakot.Whatever process you use, physically remove rust particles, do not buff and leave it without wiping it off and reapplying lube, do not use steel wool as those are going to leave your gun IMPREGNATED with more DEMN SEEDs of corrosion either while doing UNSPEAKABLE things to your gun>t. IQ at least 30% higher than the avearage of 50
>>64525722Walther PDP
>>64525722You don't need a handgun, just dial 911
>>64525727But the Walther marketing has a strong black woman with the PDP, and she's defending herself against white men with Berettas...
>>64525681But I like DA/SA.
>>64525721Yeah. I have more animals with my hard cast loads, but those weren't with my snubby, I have a couple deer with my Rossi 92 rifle and another coyote plus a Javalina with my Ruger Blackhawk. I can say that my carry gun and carry load has drawn blood though, which is kinda neat, even if it's only once and only a coyote.
>>64525725I really appreciate it anon. Gracias. I wish everyone here was like you.
>>64525143I hate that you understand what you mean. It looks like bondage gear.
>>64525658did you know that there are many other .45acp pistols on the market?
>>64525777But those two tickle my pickle.
I just noticed that canik recently came out with a bigger comped version of their micro 9.WTF is up with these comped cc guns? Is it so people have an excuse to buy them when they realize micro 9s suck so they don't have to just go back to their old subcompact? Putting a hole in a relatively small barrel, directing flash into the sight picture and making the thing even fucking louder in a confined space to offset a tiny amount of muzzle flip sounds to me like a terrible idea. I get it on a long slide competition gun, but on what's basically a subcompact cross dressing as a p365 clone? Sounds like marketing cope.
>>64525777yeah, a 2011 .45
>>64525771I'm afraid if had to draw and I felt it tug on the thigh garter, I'd get a boner.
>>64525781did you buy that just as a bit?
>>64522275Are Series 70 1911s/2011s unsafe for duty or carry due to the lack of a firing pin safety?
>>64525406This, except maybe not for 3" and shorter barrels.
>>64525516How ass are kwyis when used IWB?
>>64524725consistently worse/slower draw speed with leather holsters, especially with full-size pistols.
>>64525786theoretically, yes. realistically, no. Series 70 guns will only go off when dropped muzzle down from sufficient height. The only way this poses a threat to anyone is that if you're on a multifloor building and you wanted to pretend to be a cowboy and spin your gun on your finger. >>64525789is that a M93R barrel? I regret not getting one when a few popped up on ebay>>64525791ass. I replaced them with mastermind concealment pouches or blue force gear nylons.one is fine though, the double is uncomfortable. they're great for range use since reinserting mags is easy. >>64525792how?
>>64525771BDSM gear is not tranny coded nigger>>64525781>Until i am out of bullets or out of blood>I WILL defend pedophiles in the deep state>>64525785No, anon is a cultist>>64525722A CZ Shadow 9mm
>>64525796What if its a stone floor and the bullet ricochets?
>>64525796>how?plastic is more smooth than leather and unless you're getting an ultra-fancy holster thats double-walled and has a metal-reinforced lip, you gun is going to drag as its pulled out. I hated carrying my TRR8 because of how inconsistent the unholstering felt.
>>64525796>is that a M93R barrel?Jarvis match grade. My second most accurate pistol. Not that I can group worth a shit.
>>64522275I picked up a super cheap cop surplus gen 4 G21. Did I make a mistake not getting the G22 instead? I already have a fuddy five but no fawty
>>64522328>OP BTFO and pink socked Dam! That poor little white boy.
>>64525815>unless you're getting an ultra-fancy holster thats double-walled and has a metal-reinforced lipI have a good holster, with metal band mouth, and sharkskin reinforcement/trim. The retention is on the weaker side. I do notice the difference between having front serrations and not having it when drawing from the holster compared to kydex but honestly I do not see the difference but this is a custom holster. The open mouth does make the retention loose. If I had tight retention I might agree
>>64525393Yeah there's a new HST 147 grain +P. It's only sold at Target Sport USA. I might try and chrono it tomorrow if I'm not too busy with other stuff (I'll be shooting with a coworker).Behold:https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-premium-personal-defense-9mm-luger-plusp-147-grain-hst-jacketed-hollow-point-p9hst4g-p-114282.aspx
>>64525744If it's just a range toy, I don't understand why you would give a shit if it's SAO or DA/SA. DA/SA is only better from a defensive point of view so you can either restrike or carry with the safety off in double action.
>>64525658I like a 1911 to be quite honest with uBut between the two, Mark 23 is "cooler" and slightly lower recoil. It's also unjustifiably expensive, by an obscene amount, unless you get a sweet deal for about $1,600 or so. $1,600 buys you a pretty nice 1911 maybe from Dan Wesson, current new prices for a Mark 23 buys you a quite nice 1911. A special version USP is definitely a better buy than a Mark 23My two cents
>>64525887Would you say the difference in recoil is due to the polymer?
>>64525904it's a crappy overpriced meme. I'll die on the hill that the 45c is the final evolution in hammer fire big caliber HK's and the best overall
>>64525911Maybe if you have baby hands and need reduced capacity, otherwise the USP .45 is where it’s at.
>>6452591745c shoots just as well, is like half the size, and the elephant foot mags are 10/10 kino. Pretty sure the USP holds like 2 more shots so capacity is irrelevant
>>64525904The recoil difference I was referring to was between your two choices, USP (Elite) and Mark 23. I feel like a 1911 is maybe a little softer than a Mark 23, idk, I'd have to shoot them side by side, don't quote me on that. Of the three guns I like the experience of shooting a 1911 best
>>64525920.45 acp is anemic out of a barrel that short, and the 10 round mags you love are as big as a USP .45 12, which can hold 14 if you change the follower to a G21 one.
>>64525930sounds like you need a G21 then my boy. I just copped one myself
>>64525930anemic? do you mean ineffective?
>>64525887>trpI was hot for this during the availability drought but my enthusiasm waned after acquiring picrel instead. Are the new production trps solid?
a 25 acp glock would be really funny and I'd probably buy one
>>64525930>.45 acp is anemic out of a barrel that short,45 beeg bullet, barrel length doesnt matter
>>64525954Barrel length make it a little bit faster, just a little bit
>>64525950not burt, not big enough yet, but i haven't seen anyone on /k/ with the new TRPs
>>645259501: I don't have a TRP2: I dunno!
>>64525963Doesnt mean they dont exist, it only means no one has posted one
>>64525971ie, no one has one most of the board is no guns, thirdworld children, or thirdworld manchildren.
>>64525927Depends on the 1911, but I haven't shot any 45 handgun that's as soft recoiling as pic related.
>>64526000With suppressor or not?
>>64526000Checked because they did the meme
>>64526000I haven't shot my Mark 23 with a silencer or with a WML so I'm sure you're right
>>64526074Both, but especially with the suppressor.>>64526114You have to get a can for it. It makes the gun shoot at least twice as good.
>>64525983If thats true, and this board is a retard glownigger shithole like I keep saying, then what are you doing here? What is any poster doing here? Why would you discuss firearms with noguns, manchildren, and third worlders? Checkmate hg
>>64525143Just because the anon who's using it happens to be trans, doesnt mean it's his gear's fault, chud
>>64525711Go back to plebbit faggot

>>64526266Yes, now leave.

Is .45 obsolete? My only full size handgun is a Glock 21 Gen 3 that I inherited and my only other handgun is a Ruger LCR that I carry. Am I “missing out” not having a 9mm (other than missing out on cheaper ammo)? Is 13+1 of .45 really that much worse than 17+1 of 9mm in a similarly sized handgun? I am putting myself through school and for the foreseeable future I cannot be spending money on things like another handgun, but I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out with my only handguns being a 5 shot .38 and brick of a .45.
>>64526368>45 obsolete No. The reasons to not use 45 don't necessarily apply to you. The army just wanted to go with 9 bc NATO. The only other reason is double stack 45 tends to be huge. If you can hold your 21 without difficult, don't worry about it. It's a problem for women and manlets that you can't solve with interchangeable backstraps. You can make a capacity argument, but if 14 isn't enough 18 isn't a solution. Also recoil, but if you're already okay with it, don't fix what isn't broken. My bigger concern would be putting myself in financial distress for school, but this depends on your degree and plan. If you don't anticipate earning enough to buy a $4k gun in an exotic caliber just because you feel like it in 4 years, then that's a bigger problem.
>>64526368.45 is what 7.62 is to 5.56 (9mm), powerful? sure, but you can carry less and is heavierThing is that 9mm has been improved and continues to be improve on, 20 years ago .40s&w is highly superior to 9mm in ballistic terms, now 9mm is far superior.
