CCU Rail gun is back in stock. 45 is back on the menu. Guide: https://files.catbox.moe/9g5sv2.pdfPastebin: https://pastebin.com/gs6mLNikPrevious >>64850416
Love me P226Just got a call offering a CZ75B for $500 flat, I'm going to take it.
Ben, this has to stop
>>64854764>>surrender the greatest country to ever existRome died about 550 years ago, Anon. It's time to let go.
>>64854769If you're going to buy a Tisas 1911, now is the time. SDS imports dropped Tisas from their website. Rumor is Tisas is unhappy with SDS' pricing and wants to set up their own US importer like Zastava did. And that will mean price increases.
>>64854796That actually means a price decrease since Tisas will no longer have to deal with a middleman.
>>64854803lol he thinks savings will be passed on to the consumer
>>64854803Theoretically yes, but, again, the rumor is this split is because Tisas feels SDS is pricing the guns too low and they feel like their products are high enough quality that they should be charging more (and getting more) for them. If you look at SDS' other brands it's mostly bottom of the barrel cheap shit priced dirt cheap to sell to Cletus, tyrone and Jose at the LGS looking for the lowest priced cool looking gun they can buy. They are probably very aggressive with the price points.
>>64854818This is probably true. Tisas at 300 dollars blows everyone out of the water, they can sell at much higher prices
>>64854818If they raise the prices I hope people stop buying them and their business collapses. A turkshit 1911 should be $300. That is their entire appeal. If the middleman is cut out they could keep prices where they’re at while still pocketing more money. I hope these roaches don’t get greedy.
>>64854774Have you put a srt or a heavier recoil spring in your 226 or anything?Mine comes base with a srt and I put a gray guns pink recoil spring in it and I can shoot it so fast and the p226 is such an inherently accurate gun I like mine alot.226 is one of the hardest dicked guns ever created
I need another .45. Recommend me one.

>>64854856I have not, I haven't messed with the internals too much. Its a nice gun to shoot, haven't had any issues with it.

Is Ben Stoegers book worth it to get better or should I just watch his YouTube videos
>>64854908that nigga don't know how to write a book
>>64854908Depends, his latest books aren’t really about what to train but about how to train. Other than his practical shooting books which talks about all the ins and outs of shooting competitively, what to expect, stage planning, how to set up your gear, etc. Watching his YouTube videos is more about what to train than his books. He often demos a drill and then tells you about common mistakes and how to diagnose what issue you have from the drill. Just watch his YouTube videos
>>64854774>>64854877fuuuuuuuuck i want a full size da/sa so bad but i should get a shotty or do an ar build first
A 380 should be good enough to keep stray dogs away, right?
>>64854930Pitbulls have a natural resistance to .380
>>64854930I would never carry less than a 9mm
>>64854930id want some kind of magnumsay 375 h&h
>>64854928This is /hg/ buddy do the handgun
>>64854930Oh shit, a stray dog? You're going to want at least .357 magnum for that.
>>64854930Just give them some food and be nice, don't be a psycho doge killer
I've officially taken the revolver pillFellow .357 chads, what is your prefered defensive load?
>>6485493022
>>64854969Just look up buffalo bore. As a new shooter, you'll probably want to practice with .38 special and carry .38 special +P
Anyone here with a 92FS use a comped barrel? Thinking about getting one. Either that or a threaded barrel to shoot suppressed
>>64855001I do. Ported in slide seem to be more effective. The extended ported seem lesser IMO. They make the gun very loud.
>>64855020Old timestamp btw
>>64854969I carry my own standard pressure, 158 grain flat point loads, but it's not much different from what you can buy in the store.
How would super light for caliber bullets fare in .44 Special pressure loads for defense from a 2.75" barrel? I know full-house Magnums are gonna kick like a motherfucker, but most Special on the market shoots too heavy a bullet at too low a velocity from a snub for good expansion. But I'm also concerned about the penetrating power of a fully expanded 150 grain .429 caliber bullet
>>64855020Oh, im retarded. I meant ported. Cool, thanks. Is LTT the only place to get it done or does anyone sell them? Works rather not have to wait for my stuff to mail, them to do it, then mail back
>>64855040Would** Also would putting a comp on a ported barrel be overkill? I want a very soft shooting gun...
>>64854996Buffalo bore is definitely an option, though the full power loads of theirs I've seen are a tad pricey even for defensive ammo. The other loads I'm considering are 154gr federal HST or some underwood 158gr XTP>As a new shooterI mean, I'm new to owning and carrying a revolver, but I've been shooting handguns since I was a kid. Only reason I felt comfortable getting a revolver for CC is the amount of time I've spent dry firing my beretta 92 in double action
>>64854898In case I ever receiver a DM from a grill ;(
>>64855026Nice. Any reason in particular you chose flat points over JHP?Also hows that LCR shoot? I really didn't like how it felt in the hand the one time I handled one, but ever since I bought my sp101 I have a renewed interest in owning one
>>64855049
>>64855020Based and pathetic niggerpilled.
>>64855040a few places port beretta barrels. Monsoon, Langdon, dual hammer inc (very fast turn around for optic cuts), I've always wanted to try North Sea Machine (in a landlocked state btw) since they have a cool pattern.There's a thing though, jacket separation. Bad port jobs will separate the jacket and spew spall out the ports. Good porting jobs minimize this but it could pose a danger to the user if you're shooting from retention at the hip like john wick where the ports are directly pointed at your face. Even without jacket separation this will be very uncomfortable with the extra blast coming out of the ports directly aimed at your face. But not a super big deal. Just wear safety glasses.
>>64855068also north see machine didn't even fucking line it up with the irons lol. Maybe don't use North Sea Machine. Langdon says they do that chamfer on the ports because it's better and offers more gas pressure expansion => more recoil reducing effect before the gas escapes.
>go sell handgun I never use>gunshop lowballs repeatedly at different stores>go to one pawn shop>high ball and they agree without arguingI just learned something from this.
what's a good price for an italian 92? I'd prefer something new. It can be inox or not, I suppose they're more expensive. Only have a g19
>>64854930>not carrying a snub 500S&Wit's like you're trying to be raped
>go to LGS >they have a hi power, I've never handled one >pick it up >grip is way too small>hammer would definitely bite me>trigger is meh I actually really wanted to pick up a hi power at some point, now I can't because if I did I'd never shoot it :(
>>64854928Why would you do either of those things if you have a 226 on your radar? Pistol shooting is the pinnacle of firearms skill. You should be putting nearly all your gun money and time into it.
>>64855164huh, i might have to get one then. i felt that the cz75 and 1911 are a cunt hair too big. all my guns have bad triggers so i wouldnt notice. im skinny so no hammer bite either
>>64855177I wear a 9-10" (XL in most brands) glove and it was noticeably too small for me. If you're closer to M or L it'll probably fit great.
>>64855124I got my Italian Inox 92FS used with a manual, box, two mags and a cleaning kit for $500.
>>64855020>that Burton 96A1 Samurai EdgeI need a 96A1, how does it shoot?
>>64855214That’s a M9A3 with a 96 Vertec slide but with a 9mm barrel. I got 96 slides optic cut just in case I want to swap to .357 Sig. never bothered since I have a 10mm
>>64854928Why do you think that? First I got was a 92D Centurion from a coworker, then a P938 for warmer month CC and then a rifle. It's easier doing a range day with pistols anyway imo; all the public places are either for clay shooting or indoors 25yd max.>>64855048>Only reason I felt comfortable getting a revolver for CC is the amount of time I've spent dry firing my beretta 92 in double actionBeen thinking about getting a revolver recently. Are Smith & Wesson 's newer revolvers any good or should I just get an oldie Model 19 at my LGS?
Sigh, monday's news was awfulLets hope my P226 arrives soon
>>64855236I can't speak to current production S&W revolvers, but my grandmas 642 she got in the early 2010's (I think) is a solid carry gun. If you're just getting it as a range toy I can't not reccomend going with the 19
bros i think my handgun has autism
>>64855251At first glance I thought you hung a pair of truck nuts off the hammer
>>64855315Kek, me too. That thumbnail isn't doing it any favors.
>>64855315It’s over
>>64855055I almost never carry the .357 outside of hiking and camping, so I prefer penetration over expansion for dealing with wild beasts. As for the LCR, I think it's a great revolver that also happens to weigh under a pound and can fit in a pocket. As long as I keep up in practice, I feel equally capable with the LCR as I do with a 3" or 4" revolver inside of 25 yards.
>>64855026>>64854996Barrel length for .357... how short can you go before there's no real advantage over .38+p?
Anyone with stock PX4 storm? I found a deal for half the normal price, new, unused from Italian contract for intelligence services. I kinda like it but people usually claim it does have absolutely shit trigger and since I am not in US I have very limited options to upgrade this. Also I can make it OR but the milling with buying the optics will actually cost more than the gun itself which sounds retarded to me. Opinions?
>>64855309You can get a lower that makes it so you can take the mag off from the bottom without disassembly. Think of it like CRISPR for your keltec.>>64855521The trigger isn't really that bad. You'll have to contend with it being DA/SA. You could probably source a lighter spring with the same dimensions without access to US parts made specifically for it since it's just a spring. The cost to mill it might be the deal breaker here. I wouldn't pay more than $500 with $250 being a reasonable amount.You'll be stuck with the factory reset which is comparable to a Beretta 92. Not the end of the world, importing a LTT trigger bar would be the way to go if that's possible.
>>64855528Thanks anon. I own USP so I don't mind heavier trigger pull, people usually complain about extremely long pull/reset which is shitty but I can live with it. The trigger bar usually comes from US and most of the shops don't export to EU. The beretta is $650. RDO cut is ~$300 and some non rubbish dot will be around $600-$800 and that's just insane. The handgun with dot looks cool though and that's what we are after here anyway.
>>64855487It’s across the board, unless you start comparing a snub 357 to a rifle length 38 +P
>>64855572Ok, cool. Thanks. Now I should just decide whether to save up for a sp101 or a S&W.
>>64855608Huh. Didn't know that image had text. >>64855572Ignore the caption.

Is there any reason to get a current gen Dan Wesson Specialist (no ball cuts, universal rail) over an old gen (ball cuts, 1913 rail)? I found a duty finished old gen in 45 for $1400 that I’m tempted to get.
How are the Inglis turk hi powers vs the springfield ones?
>>64855521the trigger is bad if you like shooting fast.
Still waiting on my P226 to ship out
>>64855910Duty finish DW is extremely cosmetically fragile to solvents
>>64855927It really can’t be worse than any other DA/SA with a factory length reset
>>64855929Took me 2 weeks to get my 365. Relying on Fedex in the south during a snowstorm is 3 strokes of bad luck.
>>64856018As long as it doesn’t flake off I don’t care if it gets discolored. I don’t ever use solvent to clean my guns anyway, CLP and Slip 2000 EWL are the only things that touch my guns.
>>64856136CLP contains the solvents that cosmetically cloud up certain black nitride finishes like this
>>64855926I can only speak for the inglis ones, but both have annoying extractor issues. I replaced mine with an actual browning extractor kit ($28 and ten minutes with a cheap amazon punch set) and it runs fantastic. I also like the finish and that there's no stupid roll marks like on the springfield.
>>64856143>>64856136Other than that I don’t see why, I swear DW still does ball cuts and single slot rails. I bought this thing last year new My complaints were >break in period is autistic >thumb safety not blended well and tore skin on my thumb webbing, ambi safety so I swapped to single side for IWB carry >beavertail safety wasn’t fit right or to my liking, it didn’t depress far enough and changed my grip angle so I replaced it with a EGW one Oh and >slide stop engages prematurely mid magazine Dimpled the slide stop with my Dremel, hope it works
>>64856162Here’s the one I just ordered. It should get to the FFL around Friday.
>>64856190Mine was a 10mm and 10mm 1911s are very finicky
>>64856193This one is the 45. I’m not expecting it to have any issues. I wanted the 10mm but the more I read about them the less I wanted one.
>>64856190Mine has a 6 digit serial number, 230000 something, that one is only 14000. Huh.
>>64854930There's really only one logical choice
>>64856331>book agents???
>>64854769>buying a colt in 2026my turkshit probably has better fit and finish
>>64854969Underwood makes a 150gr wadcutter that’s 1000fps…
>>64856336Back before internet spam and amazon, some people had jobs as door to door salesmen selling books. Such people were disliked enough that you could make edgy jokes about shooting them and it was enough to get people to buy your stuff.
>>64856358>door to door salesmen selling books
>>64856388You can just round that up to "solicitors"
>>64856331Snub revolvers and bicycles go well together. There was even a whole velodog cartridge specifically for that kind.
>>64856415back then solicitors meant prostitution rings
>>64856435They didn't yet invent pimps?
>>64855550$300 for a cut isn't outrageous, I'm guessing perhaps labor is more expensive there? Either way, compared to a USP DA/SA, I would say the PX4 will be slightly better. The pull weight likely equivalent. I thought the EU was big on China, you can't get a holosun for half the price where you are? They are quality.>>64856143I will say CLP is quite good at working away at carbon locked shit. I don't think it's really necessary for any handguns though, you can just use dlead wipes.
>>64856479I like CLP because it penetrates into crevices and pulls out grime. Great if youre too lazy to do more than a field strip to clean.
>>64855309https://www.amazon.com/Am-Extremely-Intoxicated-Have-Gun/dp/B0D7SJ2DT4
>>64856489Yeah it's great for this, but also kinda pointless for many handguns. I've had my Beretta 92 extractor and firing pin channel full of shit and it didn't matter at all. I don't think I will ever take it out to clean it again until I have to replace the extractor or extractor spring. As long as parts aren't getting carbon locked (which doesn't really happen on handguns) then imo it's safe to ignore. Most just need occasional lube.

Just picked up a cajunized CZ75B converted to decocker for $500 cash.
>>64856499Only downside is the grime unless oil laden can trap moisture. It could be a problem over time for some guns in some environments.
>>64856507That’s a good deal, the Cajun kits are expensive. People call Langdonstein Jewish for his beretta stuff by CGW are the real Jews
>>64856515My tabletop FFL got it as a trade in, some guy bought it for his wife but she didn't like it and picked some S&W instead. I had a 75BD on my list anyways, so I'm happy.
>>64856515Be thankful Langdon hasnt figured out that Sig aftermarket is where the big money is.
>>64854930Load with FMJ and expect to need follow up shots.
>>64856515Quite frankly the TJIAB isn't even terrible value considering you're getting a bunch of spare parts. It's just that the labor for polishing them is massively over quoted for how much polishing they actually do. You can TJIAB your own 92 for 2 hours of your time tops. The NP3 coating is the real snake oil, which I imagine it a pain in the ass to even do for all those small parts anyways.
>Ben Stoeger: Most people that are shooting um like wacky reticles like just the horse shoe or they’re shooting a circle reticle that goes where that goes around the thing, usually they’re not very proficient. I’m just going to tell you, that’s just the truth. Circle reticle bros… our response?
>>64856479Custom stuff is always kinda expensive so I can understand that. Yeah, Holosun is quite popular, still not cheap ($350 up to $600 for the best ones) and I guess it's because it's just a niche market in such small country. So basically the cut and dot will be still more than the gun. I can't really justify this purchase no matter the mental gymnastics I do.
>>64856629Quit talking about that fag.I bet you have a crush on him?
>>64856649Circle dot shooter detected
>>64856648Well if you actually want a px4, instead of comparing the cost of the work and dot to the gun, compare the overall price to how much a brand new one would be with the additional cost of work and optic. I don't have any strong feelings about the px4, but a few of my favourite guns have work/accessories that well exceed what I paid for the gun. But it's always after I've found I really like the gun.
>>64856629I just turn off the circle and use the dot.
>>64856629It's a generalization he has from experience. I'd say I'm a decent shooter, but probably not more than B class as I haven't competed, don't do reloads etc. I like the dot circle simply because it is a crutch. I want every single thing in my favor in a self defense scenario. So I'd say I like the circle dot and I'm not very proficient. But more proficient than more than half the people ITT judging by the challenges. Not saying that to brag or put others down (I think a lot of you are similar skill level to me), just saying that most people ITT shouldn't really care if they're labeled less proficient and use a circle dot.There's your seriouscel response to an absolutely silly bait comment.>>64856648I guess it depends on how much a different gun costs you? You'd be buying the optic no matter which gun you got. If you get one with a cut that saves you $300.
>>64855068>make gun louder>make boolet weaker>make cycle less reliable>blow dross up your nose and eyeswhat a retarded fucking meme
>>64856629Donut of death is goated for rifles where you're just barely lined up before sending shots in close quarters. On handguns I think its just a bigger dot in practice so Stoeger has a point about it being a crutch. Who cares though if its not competition and its someone who its just trying to hit a target at 20 feet away in a self defense situation.
>>64856808Porting doesn’t hurt velocity in any meaningful tests. People literally chrono a barrel before and after and it’s maybe 50 fps at most change.
>>64856808Yeah but you can use ported slides with regular barrels and just swap them out. So you can have drippy slide cuts with a cool non ported gold barrel or something if the ported life is too scary for you
>>64856808>make gun sound cooler>jacket separation also sends dangerous shrapnel towards your target (boolet stronger)>make cycle less reliable so you use hotter ammo (boolet stronger)>blow shit up your nose and eyes like a chad and look cool as fuck while you dowhat a cultured gentleman's meta. portcels couldn't fathom looking cool as fuck while in a self defense shooting
I've never heard of someone being injured by their ports in a self defense shooting.
Are comps that don't chop up jackets like picrel worth it or just extra weight ultimately? Not that extra weight isn't bad for follow up shots.
>>64856826You probably also haven't heard of anyone successfully defending themselves with .16 splits when .18 would have worked just as well, though.
>>64856846True. But they didn't look and sound as cool doing the slower splits.
>>64856505>ai slop on a 3d printed slab of plastic>pay tariffs for import from japani can make my own furry shit to put on my gun, no thanks
>>64856826You rarely ever get details from self defense shootings in the first place since exact details are held due to active police investigation and potential prosecution, and then when it’s considered justified and not prosecuted nobody cares to get the exact details.Aaron Cowen of Safe Dynamics was hit or injured by jacket separation from porting so he doesn’t shoot ported guns or lets them near him, only compensated guns.
>>64856861But it’s more authentic
>>64856826You've barely heard any details from self defense shootings. It's why ammosperging is so meaningless; there isn't some database of self defense shooting information. Also hardly anyone owns ported guns outside of the competition feature obsessed bubble of handgun youtubers and forum posters, they're a tiny but growing minority of carry guns.
>>64856881Yeah, not fooling me. 5 black guys wearing body armor with machine pistols are going to jump me exiting my vehicle at the grocery store and I need to be prepared. That’s why I EDC a Keltec P50 with an FRT and those Black Dragon armor piercing rounds
>>64856867>authenticits literally all AI, from his banners, his shop images, and you can tell the art on the grips are AI due to the irregular stars on the bikinis or the extra artifacting lines of detail that a normal artist would have erased to make it easier and cleaner to print. He just prompted something in line art and click n dragged the image into the 3d print software. Who the fuck would buy this
>>64856903Me
>>64856922you know what, this actually isnt half bad. Real fast shipping too.
>dot Ok>circle dot Ok fine>Only circleNow this is weird shit
>>64856987I will pay 50 dollars plus tip
>>6485698710/10Now 3D print a lower for it that takes AR FCGs and lets you access the mag like the ST-50.
>>64857000the IT-STINKS-50 has a 100 percent magazine drop failure rate on all its released generations and the people that aren't completely ashamed of their purchase have posted their cracked lowers as a warning
>>64857004Yes, that's why I did not say >buy an ST-50There's a 3D printed one currently in beta. It's pretty much the exact same thing at the ST-50, but not shit.
>the gun is shit >so I'll dump my time into picking up another hobby for sole purpose of making an even shittier diy version of that gun
>>64857091in this case the lelkek p50 by itself is absolutely fine.its the tactitards with FRTbrain that complain they cant quick reload a 50 round mag without breaking grip and that its makes the cardinal sin of NOT being an AR so it doesnt accept AR parts.
>mogs ur 1911nothing personnel
>>64857131Having to listen to my normie coworkers talk about the goybowl has been insufferable this week living in Seattle.>>64857004Got any examples? I know someone who bought one recently lol

spohr 283 carry, manurhin mr73 3", or korth 2.75" carry special. I want a compact revolver
>>64857173Spohr. Willie Korth sold his company, and Manurhins are made by Chapuis.
>>64857186wait what's the issue with manurhins?
>>64857436They’re manurhins and not manurhins manurhins made by the OGs, its purest stuff
>>64857144Same.NTA btw
>>64855251sauce on the book?
>>64857131My 21 actually works, so I prefer it over 1911s, but it has never felt great to me. Maybe it's the fuckhueg grip, but it's bouncy during recoil and it's the only gun I own that I can't get to fall right back on target after I fire a shot.
>>64856248It’s a six digit serial number. I just covered up the last two in paint.
>>64854969I'm thinking of carrying a revolver as well. Currently carry a G19. I've shot and like .357 magnum on a couple of occasions but I don't know anything about revolvers. Anyone got any good recommendations? I'd like to spend less than $600 if possible.
>>64857531Ruger SP101, friendo.
>>64857482MAGUTA C-ARTS
>>64857540I might have to save up. Thanks, bro.
>>64855550Are you sure the company can even cut the px4? Only 2 companies do it in the US as you have to trim/shave the fire pin safety/plunger or something. I have a Langdon compact and a stock subcompact. I know the subcompact is slightly different, as it won't take all the same Langdon parts, but I think it's smooth. But I've never tried a stock compact or full size trigger. But the subcompact is just heavier with a longer reset. Still very smooth. Also consider that the full size does not have the bull barrel which makes the compact so magical. Langdon recently released the g-sd full size which means they finally gave it a bull barrel similar to the compact. And yeah, optics are expensive.
>>64857553No problem. https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/sp101
>>64856331>>64856422I carry a snub while riding my longboard. Closest call was a pitty.
>>64857531Consider the 32 magnum family as well. I carry a smith 32 h&r mag, but Ruger takes it a step further with the 327 federal mag. Basically you get 6 shots instead of 5, less recoil with similar ballistics. I have had a 357 sp101, a 38 LCR and now I own several 32 mag J frames with no intentions of going back to 38/357.
>>64857615Consider the 88 magnum familyIt shoots through schools
>>64857615What is the average cpr of 32 and 327 magnum compared to .357 magnum?
On a scale of 1 to awful, how low on the totem are these Charles Daly 1911s? It’s a Chiappa made one, I guess of recent. Picked this one up at the lgs for $300, unfired. I haven’t been back to the range yet since getting it. I figured why not for the price, I was on a cheap pistol kick for my last few pistol permits.

>>64857697They're fine when they're cheap. The "fancy" ones aren't worth it. My Buddy has one, it feels fine, runs fine, there's really nothing wrong with it but he paid over $700 for what exactly? That big fucking "Charles Daly" billboard? You did fine.
>>64857698Based and hard boiled.
>>64857705I used to totally write off the P320 as a joke but then I bought a surplus that awakened a deep addiction to buying P320s and P320 accessories
>>64857627I just looked and .357 Magnum is about 45-50c/round, .327 Magnum is about 72-75c/round, and .32 H&R Mag is at least $1/round. To me, the .32 options are into "reloading required" territory, and even with owning reloading equipment already, that's a big turn off for just one extra shot. I wonder how many rounds of .327/.32 H&R Magnum are actually fired in a day compared to posts online praising .327/.32 H&R Magnum revolvers.

>>64857762I'd buy a new model Python if they got rid of that gay ass QR code
>>64857772The new python DA is unbelievable. I'm not a revolver guy though so I'll probably never actually buy one.
>>64857762OP here. I found this Dan Wesson Specialist for a good price and ordered it this morning instead of the Colt. I’ve owned a 2022 production Colt. It wasn’t bad but the rear sight fell off and had to be staked back on because the dovetail was loose or the sight was undersized. I sold that one to a coworker.
>>64857782Hmm. That slide stop is a Wilson and not stock, I think on the low end line and not their high end parts line “bullet proof”
>>64857790I’m not a fan of extended slide stops so I may wind up changing it if I don’t like it.
Just picked this up for $200 + $30 transfer fee. I hope I end up liking it.
>>64854969underwood xtp jhp 125gr or 158 gr depending on your needs
>>64857979This is what I've pretty much decided on after watching some tests & chronograph readings. I'm leaning towards the 158gr because of the short barrel and how I've seen it preform out of snubbies
>>64857850EGW is Dan Wesson’s supplier for most components
I just like it
>>64857772They can't since it's probabably a traceability thing. We use the same for PCBA marking at work.>>64856735Things are expensive, I get it. It's just that I can't really say if it's worth going through all this with this exact gun or maybe just buy it and leave it as is. It's always the older non-OR guns that I would want with optics lol. My feelings towards the the PX4 are that I always thought it's ugly af and the more I looked at it the more I started liking it. It's a bit different looks and mechanically. That's what does it for me.>>64856807Yeah sometimes I found great deals even for the OR guns but it's usually something without soul that I don't like lol. For some reason most of the guns (HK, Walther, Glonk, CZ) are around the same price of $850-$1000. Only really cheap options are Arex and HS Produkt, mid range is Taurus. SIGs are usually the expensive guns. So yeah, new gun with dot would be like 1.8-2k.>>64857576Well they said so also Langdon won't cut USP tactical yet I've seen tacticals with dots.Heavy trigger is something I can live with, what really sucks is if the trigger is gritty and if it does have very long reset. These two things makes it unplesant to shoot.I don't like compacts and I can't compare the full and compact irl to see how much of a difference the different barrel would make. Thank you anons for your opinions.
>>64857922Carrying will be easy, you'll probably hate shooting it though.
I tried shooting a guy's beat-up (he said he used to use it for competition) Rock Island 1911 in 9mm and I found it remarkably faster, smoother, and more accurate than my trigger job'd CZ 85 Combat (like a CZ75B but without the firing pin block), which I already find more shootable than any stock striker pistol. It had a tuned Series 70 trigger and some minor mods like checkering and fancy sights and a magwell but it was otherwise a janky-looking gun. The trigger was amazeballs. Are all 9mm 1911s the same? Is it time to take the 1911/2011 pill? How does a 9mm 2011 compare to a CZ Shadow 2?I've been saving up for a Shadow 2 but my experience is making me think of getting a 9mm 1911 and competing in IPSC Classic instead...
>>64858661I have 2 9mm 1911s. They’re the best shooting guns I own. It’s like shooting a 22 magnum, it feels like cheating.
>>64858661>Are all 9mm 1911s the same?no>It had a tuned Series 70 trigger you have to put money into itaverage stock 1911 trigger will be better than cz but probably not to the degree you experienced
>>64857436Just like nearly everything else in the world, not as good as they used to be. It's one of the reasons why the old ones are so incredibly expensive.

>>64858224>Makarov with red dot Extremely based
>>64858661Not all 1911s are built equally, but you can buy prefit “ignition kits” which are prefit hammers and sears for optimal engagement. With a little sear spring tuning you should be getting a crisp 3 pound trigger. 5 inch 1911s recoil so well since they have a longer slide stroke than most guns, the recoil and hammer spring weights are just right, and they’re full steel guns. 2011s are about the same but most come with a polymer or aluminum grip. They aren’t weightmaxxed like CZ shadow 2s.

SoI got a dagger. It’s a Keris. I’m not sure how to conceal it. Any idea how I should go about this? It’s like 16 inches long and I’m not sure how to concealed carry this On a side note; I’m debating on if I should get a Glock 17 or 47. The problem I have with a lot of handguns is my hand wraps under the firearm and the mag pinches my hand from here to kingdom come. Please advise. I’m thinking on getting a Glock 47 cause it’s easier to conceal versus the 17. I’m then debating on going with a Glock 26 as a backup. And I’m not sure what type of derringer to get as a boot gun. Yes it’s autistic, when I went thru my LE academy the instructors made it a point to hand our ass to us. After getting strangled by an instructor during my deadly force encounter I just have a need to hide weapons all over my body so uhm, plz help. There’s a lot more. This is a small part of the continued autism
>>64858224>dovetail mounted red dot
>>64858596I hate shooting my LCP, so I thought I'd try the slightly bigger version.
Anyone here hunt with a handgun? If you have, is .357 or 10mm enough to cleanly take a deer or a black bear? The Fudds are pretty divided on this one
>>64859229.45Lol semi-jk but yeah a .357 or 10mm should be adequate.
>>64859076>I’m thinking on getting a Glock 47 cause it’s easier to concealNo it's not. If you're getting a Glock for concealability, you're getting a 19, 26, 43x or 48.For you, I'd recommend a Glock 19 on your waist and a LCR on your ankle. Nobody could possibly fuck that up
>>64859229Those are probably fine. Remember to check your local regs though. Colorado, where I live, has requirements for energy that those cartridges seem unlikely to meet. This led me to get .45 Colt Blackhawk loaded with Tim Sundle’s pissing hot loads
>>64855765No you don't
>>64856507Extremely based
>>64859447How so?I was taught concealment is more so about thickness and the frame size. >Nobody could possible fuck that upI am here to impressI’m not a fan of the LCR. My ankle gun is more so about being pressed up against someone and firing. I’m thinking on going with the derringer in .410 since ya know, it’s not exactly a shooting for fun gunI want to like the 19. But it scares me cause I was brought up on the 17. Really my goal is to get the 47 or 49 and then put a flared magwell on it to make up the difference >Single stack lockMy autism hates this. I do plan on getting the 26 as my backup handgun
>>64859084That ain't dovetailed in Sonny.
>>64859076Most derringers make terrible "boot guns" due to how heavy/bulky some of them can be and how awkward it is to thumb the hammer in situations where you'd likely need an ankle gun. If you want an actual good ankle gun you can grab and immediately rip off shots there's P32/p3ATLCPAirweight J frame or LCR if you wear baggier pants Alternatively the 238/938 if you really feel the need for a manual safety Don't bother with a giant dagger if you have two guns. That's more likely to hinder you than help at that point.

>>64854898>having instagram Are YOU gay?
Need help diagnosing an issue, though it could just be a woman issue/skill issue. Went shooting with my sister and she had issues with her glock 19. Kept having FTE or sometimes the round would only feed halfway. It looked like she was holding the gun properly but still. No such issues with her APX or my 92FS although she didn't shoot them as much
>>64860047She's probably resting her thumb on the slide release
>>64860047If you're getting at the a limp wrist thing it's a skill issue. I have a couple of gen 3 glocks and my wife, sister in law, and mother have not caused malfunctions while shooting them.
>>64859537This is a comparison of the 19 vs the 47. 19 is far more conceable. A 26 is basically the same dimensions as a 19 except it has half a grip. I don't know your issue with the LCR. It's made to be pressed up against something and fired. Also .357 magnum is going to be way more common and affordable than .410The Glock 17, 19, 47 and 49 are double stack. The 48 is single stack
>>64860047limpwring is a possibility but at the same time its a woman. she could be doing a million retarded things that we could never tell unless we were there watching her shoot..
>>64860098I’m a fucking idiot. But you’ve covered every hand up I have. Thank you anon :DAlsoI did handgun hero. I did enough research to be wrong. Hence my belief in using a flared magwell cause it’s what I have on my p365But I do appreciate your input Anon, thank you :)The reason for my weird dislikes is because I’m weird. That’s really it. I know I’m at idiot, and I don’t want to attach additional meaning aside from “because I’m an idiot”. I’m going to check into the LCP. I’m actually really grateful :D
>>64860144The LCP is a small weak baby autoloading pistol. The LCR is a revolver that shoots .357 Magnum rounds. Go with the LCR for an ankle gunEveryone here has different forms of guntism. As long as you 1) don't act superior and 2) don't act like a faggot, you'll be fine
>>64854796as much as i want one i just dont need one.
>>64860047I said "issue" 5 times in this post. Am I retarded>>64860083I'm not sure what's wrong with her hand, but her can't lift her thumb that high. Surprisingly much smaller than mine even though we're around the same height>>64860086>>64860128That could be it. She claims to be holding as hard as she can but probably means the grip and not locking her wrists Even though the 19 is already relatively small, it still might be a little too big for her. Gave her my VP9SK and P365 and we'll try those out next time
Good trade? I like my S&W but if the Ruger is good enough, I could get some extra cash on top. Times are tough for me atm
>>64854877You gotta get the LTT trigger return spring and trigger bar. Shit's cash. The DA pull is nice and smooth and the reset is so short you'll be over shooting it at first.
>>64860325Ehh, the LTT trigger bar and M9A4 stock bar (92X Xtreme S) are close enough. It really depends on example if the extra overtravel reduction of the LTT bar is actually a step up.100% on the 13 pound hammer spring, I don’t know about going to 12 though.

Anybody familiar with the picrel nighthawk T3 magwell?I like the style and want to put it on my full size (not nighthawk) 1911, but browsing their site it seems like the T3 is an officer frame.Can I just use a normal full size govt mainspring housing from nighthawk that has the cutouts?https://www.nighthawkcustom.com/sp0223-carbon-t3-magwell
>>64860653It will work, it’s the same mounting as any of their other two piece magwells. Some fitting may be required.
>>64860658nice, thanks
I fucked up so badly. I got this $160 sarco/RIA slide because I wanted a cheap way to get novak cuts. I burned $190 on tritium sights and a firing pin stop and I handfit everything, only to find out the flat surface the disconnector slides on is like .200" too high, the disconnector literally never gets pressed down enough to block the sear. I can pull the trigger at any point in the slides travel and I'm also getting intermittent hammer follow when I hold the trigger back and rack the slide and try to ride the reset. The only feasible way to resolve this is to buy an EGW extended disconnector and profile it, but that's literally the most annoying part, not to mention this slide is so fucked up and full of weird pinholes and rough cast-looking marks around the ejection port. I'm pretty sure it's a cast part and will eventually explode.
>>64860722.02" not .200"
>>64860722Just sand it down dude
>>64860733I think you misunderstood, I'm pretty sure he needs to add material. >>64860722You have a tig welder right?
>>64860737No, I wouldn't be blogging if I did, it would take about 20 minutes to resolve with a welder.>>64860733Profiling the disconnector ramp angles correctly is not that easy. I have a wilson bulletproof in there right now so I know what "smooth" looks like at least
>>64860556I think a 8357 would be pretty cool
>>64860814Hell yeah dude. Is that an arrow marked on the slide?
HK Mk23 $2000 on PSA. Holy shit.
>>64860836I assume you mean the model branding?
I got the chance to get two argentine 1911s, one is a sistema colt 1927 and another is the one and only ballester molina.Which one /hg/ should I pick? both are in ok condition.
>>64860754>>64860722Never mind I resolved it just by reducing tension on the middle leg of the sear spring. There was too much tension that the slide rolling over it wasn't enough to overcome it. We are so back
>>64860600From what I read here, the normal PX4 in .45 isn't that reliablePlease correct me if I'm wrong
>>64860692It’s a nice Magwell. The actual funnel part isn’t that much smaller and its profile is a tiny bit better for carry but way cooler looking.
>>64860882I have one and it refused to feed from the first magazines I bought from it, I bought another few mags and it seems reliable. Any issues the PX4 has the .45 has them worse. For me, the grip is too long due to the longer round, the slide serrations aren’t grippy enough for how heavy the .45 spring is, and it doesn’t seem to be particularly easier to shoot than any other polymer .45. I would much rather shoot a 1911
>>64860556I’m surprised I had not heard about this until very recently, and I usually like wondernines just like itIt’s now on my list for stuff I’m thinking about in the future
>>64860840They were even cheaper last month. I think $1600.
>>64860897>doesn’t seem to be particularly easier to shoot than any other polymer .45I find my M&P 45 and G21s as easy to shoot as a 1911,, but that's me.Seems like a 45 PX4 would be like my Shield 45 without the benefit of being a thin subcompact.

>>64860963The 90s really was the most interesting decade to be a handgun autist.
>>64859697>>64859733It also has an ambidextrous mag release that can fall out of the gun if you're not careful. With the 13th round in the mag, if you brute force the release without pushing up on the mag to relieve some pressure, you risk pushing the button too far and the mag release assembly will fall apart.
Where the hell could I look online to find a Walther P88 Compact? I remember a while ago I could still see a few available on gunbroker, even if they were still a bit expensiveHowever now all I see is the non-compact version and that's it, no true results ever appear anymoreAnd trying to search for it only yields results for past sales or local German blank-firing modelsIt is a more rare model, but I feel like it's disappeared from everywhere
>>64861160The 90s and 2000s were both pretty fun. Reliability and capacity were already solved, so companies got to explore some cool new ideas. That is, until the 2010s when they all switched from trying to make the best handgun possible to trying to make the cheapest handgun possible, and I'm not talking about retail price.I miss good factory options the most. Remember when half of the handguns on the market came in at least 3 calibers, had a decocker, safety, or DAO option, and had actual finish options?
>>64856331Fixed one of their DA 32 rimfires
I wish Hydra-Shok Deep wasn't so expensive.
>>64860722What all needed handfit? Firing pin stop I assume but did the slide itself go onto the Tisas frame without much issue? Probably won’t buy this Sarco slide since it sounds like it’s kinda iffy but getting a new slide with the correct sight dovetails I want instead of sending off the factory one is an idea

>>64861361>over a dollar for sub regular 9mm HST performanceYeesh thats a hell of a hipster tax.
>>64855608One vote for the 101. Mine has held up well, though it's also in 9mm. Pressure is the same as .357 mag so those should be similarly durable.

>>64861259Huh weird, usually there are a few on GB. I looked at a few obscure sites and couldn't find any Compacts. You might try lurking Walther Forums classifieds, but it's primarily populated with I-know-what-I-got-sonny literal boomers so prices are rarely appealing, and when the price seems like a steal it's usually a scammerOR you could step down to a Tisas Zigana which is a Turkroach P88C clone. The K is the one closest in size to a P88C but with none of the class. There are lots of variants, this is the least egregious I could find a pic of. Usually they are covered in speed holes, finger grooves and palm humps
>>64862680Bigger window, lower mounting that the RCR, RCR has a too big of a top bezel for my tastes. I’ve been doing fine with it. Better mounting method than the RCR. Glad I got my RCR for 500 on release
>>64861949Just missing a USP for the trifecta.
Good morning saars,I am going to be fitting a new beavertail grip safety to a parkerized GI 1911. Can I just touch up the bare spots with cold blue and be ok in terms of corrosion protection, or will I need to look at just stripping the park off the whole frame and refinishing?
>>64862787Yes, that's fine. I've even seen cold-blue pens that specify they're good for touch-ups on parkerized parts.

Best handgun for protection from ASU frat leaders?
>>64861420Firing pin stop, extractor needed the groove widened and deepened, I installed a new ejector as well which needed to be profiled on the top (and rear), you probably wouldn't have to do that if you have a factory installed ejector. The actual slide went on fine, it's sloppy but the barrel bushing and hood lockup is perfectly tight. The sight cut was not "novak", it was RIA's specific spec which is fucked up. You can make a novak cut rear sight work with handfitting but do not attempt to jam a novak front in an RIA slide. Just get the specific one from dawson and save yourself like an hour in handfitting the dovetails. Honestly I would not shortcut a slide again. Send your old one out to be milled for whatever pattern dovetails, or buy $450 caspian and then dial in the rails from "scratch" to your frame. You really have to make sure your frame is "worth" a new handfit slide. Mine is not. The gun was $420 and I spent probably $430 all said and done for a slide that is worse than the factory tisas one.Best option imo is to buy the factory gun that has the exact slide specifics you want and then change the frame to your liking. Far easier to change everything about the frame than make a random slide work
>>64863666You could get slides from Remsport for like 200-250 in various configurations.
I need a 1911 manufacturer tier list.
>>64863504epik zoomboid meme brokeep em comin!
>>64863712Fuck I wish someone told me about this site before I bought the armscor slide. Do you know if they come on the tighter side? I would heavily consider doing another slide in stainless with narrower black on black sights
>>64863715I think tier lists only work for production/production customs, once you go past Wilson combat you’re specifically looking for specific features and aesthetics. If you’re talking about price to performance, then used high end 1911s blow everything out of the water. Like Wilson combats depending on configuration can drop below 2k that are barely used and compete with brand new Dan wessons in price. >>64863727I wouldn’t know tight or not but my Rem sport slide right onto my Tisas slide. I found about it from 1911 addicts, apparently they’re the OEM supplier for nighthawk and some other brands for slides. US collector ordinance also has Springfield Armory slides.
>>64863745Remsport slide slides right into my Tisas frame*
>>64863715There's hundreds of makers, so it's too hard to make a tier list, but:The top tier is comprised of singular autists making true customs, people like Stan Chen, Eddie Garcia, or various boomers who died 30 years ago. These start at around 10k. These guns are all hand-fitted, hand-milled, and tuned by one dude. The next tier would be custom shops with a handful of employees, people like Cabot, Infinity. These are upper four digits. These guns are all hand-fitted, hand-milled, and tuned. The next would be high end, semi-custom manufacturers, like Nighthawk, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Chambers. These are 3-5k. Here you still get all milled parts, and they're typically well-fit, too. The next would be mid-tier, semi-custom manufacturers like Dan Wesson, where you still get milled parts, but a bare minimum of fitting. These are around 2k. The next would be first-world based, wide-scale production gunmakers like Springfield, Colt, Kimber, BUL, S&W, Sig, etc. Here you get a mixture of milled and MIM small parts, milled and forged large parts, and typically very little fitting. These are from 1k to 2k. The next would be second-world based production guns from reputable manufacturers like Tisas and RIA, where you actually get milled parts and hand fitting again, except the parts are made by people named Mahmoud and Edgarinho. These are sub 1k.The lowest would be more second-world made guns, except they're from distinctly worse companies than Tisas and Rock Island, people like MKE and Dickinson/Balistik.
>>64863793I agree with this list completely. I think what's important to remember about the top two tiers is that they really do put their hands on every last component except springs, either making them in house from a billet/barstock or they have raw forgings made with no fine details and then shape them into what the customer wants, for example mainspring housings, slide stop pins, beavertails, sights, bushings. Their customers are savvy enough where they would be pissed off to see nighthawk, harrison, egw, fusion, etc components on their $12k gun with meteorite stocks and diamond bead front sight. Those are all fantastic components but at the prices they're charging they don't lose any money putting the hours into truly custom parts.I'm not saying its worth it though. If I had access to truly oversized (not "handfitting required" parts) OEM parts and a guy nearby who did finishing I could put together a better pistol than wilson combat

Anyone own/shot a Tisas PX-5.7? Local gun store has a special where if you buy 1000 rounds of American Eagle 5.7, you get one for free. $799 total, before tax. I've got other shit that shoots 5.7 but I'm fine on ammo - if it's a decent gun I might full the trigger.
>>64864088I haven't seen anything bad said about the newer Tisas polymer autos.
>>64864088>1000 rounds of 5.7 which can be had for 430 dollars >Tisas 5.7 which can be had for 319 dollars Ummm, I don't think that's such a screaming deal anon.
>>64864152Where can you get one for $319? Genuinely curious, cause they price match.

XS Sights is 30% off this weekend for presidents day. Just snagged picrel for my LCP MAX.
>>64864166Use gun.deals, it's like ammoseek but for guns and accessories. Also my mistake it seems more like 340 with shipping
>>64864272No, yes, no, no, definitely not.You need to blend that shit and probably fuck with the frame too since it's not even flat.
After buying a holster, sights, and 2 magazines, I've spent more than what the gun is worth in accessories.
>>64864088I would rather have any of the other 5.7 pistols on the market. The rock, Ruger 57, pr57, etc.
>>64864380Yeah it’s far from fit

>>64863715I'm not going to waste my time listing brands to avoid or every single high tier manufacturer that is like $4k+ but here you go:LOW TIER>Tisas, MACMID TIER>Springfield, ColtHIGH TIER>Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Alchemy, etc.Tisas and MAC are the same company and the best bang for your buck right now. They're known for punching well above their weight, and there's no reason to buy anything cheaper than them. Colt and Springfield are the only mid-tier brand name manufacturers you should look at. At this point you are basically paying for the reputation behind the name and warranty vs Tisas (Springfield has a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser). Wilson and the other high-tier companies all make semi-custom guns that are more hand-fit compared to the production guns from Springfield and Colt (also twice as expensive at minimum).

>>64865218Is colt really on the same level as springfield? I get on pricing, but I hear people bitch about colt's awful qc so much that my impression is the product quality is substantially worse than springfield. Is it just because Colt had a reputation three generations ago that people who weren't even alive then feel like they should be living up to?

>>64865550For me personally Springfield is better and a little more affordable, but I understand why people would want to buy Colt. Springfield seems to specialize in modernized 1911s while Colt is more traditional. Both of them make 1911s with options that the other doesn't have. I would take either one of them over S&W, Ruger, Sig, etc. Some anons will say that Dan Wesson is better than Colt and Springfield, but their single-stack 45s have ramped barrels, and I've seen videos of them going down hard. When the government was still buying 1911s for the military, FBI, etc. they pretty much always went with either Colt or Springfield.
>>64865644Dan Wesson stopped doing ramped barrels for .45, but yeah I bought their CCO with a ramped .45 and it never fed the 7th round in a mag
>>64865656See something like that Springfield would take care of for you. You almost want to have something wrong with your Springfield so there's a reason for their pistolsmiths to look over it. Supposedly they're reopening their custom shop soon and will be making the Professional model again (tighter fit TRP basically).
>>64865644>When the government was still buying 1911s for the military, FBI, etc. they pretty much always went with either Colt or Springfield.Forgot to mention that this means pretty much all the aftermarket custom parts, holsters, etc. are designed to work with Springfield and Colt. For example, Springfield Operator is the de facto standard for railed 1911s. Other mid-tier brands tend to deviate more from JMB's original design for whatever reason.
