Handgun General - /hg/ - #1724

That gun looks like it's probably utter nonsense on the inside.
>>
Reminder, the point of 9x19 is for magazine to compensate for the ballistic inferiority
>>
All handgun rounds suck until you get to magnums, carry what you like shooting the most and can feasibly reload in a decent amount of time. Anything more than 5 shots plus a reload or 2 should be more than enough for any self defense situation given you're being intelligent. I like 9mm micros because they're the biggest round that stacks well in small mags and has good economic self defense loads.
>>
>>64871967
Let’s see your bill drill
>>
>>64871967
3 shots of 9mm or 1 shot of .44 magnum. Whatever floats your boat. There have been people shot 20 times with 9mm and survived. There probably would be people hit 6 times with 44 and survive too, if people actually carried it
>>
>>64871983
There's been multiple cases during the 70s-90s where a guy would eat 6+ rounds of .44 plus some .38s and .357 magnums and still be able to fight back.

My man there are men who survived getting hit with multiple rifle or machine gun rounds in wars and people who dropped to the pavement after getting hit with one .22LR. It's part of the reason why obsessing over cartridge size is stupid and the thing to optimize for in carry use is

>>64871931
>>64871852
There should be a rule to just get glock as the first handgun. When you begin smoking, you buy a bic lighter, or bic mini. With handguns, the equivalents are glock 17 and 19.

>>64872022
They figured out that they don't need to be cheap, they just need to be cheaper than Surefire.
>>
>>64872022
A lot of them come with rechargeable batteries that have ports directly on the batteries themselves. So that’s something, they’ve also updated controls and materials across a lot of models, at least for Streamlight, Surefire is a rip.

>>64872027
If it’s for an insane super magnum, sure.
>>
>>64872046
Why? I only have a light on my home defense rifle. I'm rarely out after dark and I have a flashlight in my EDC anyway.

should I buy an 8" anaconda with the wood grips, x4 speed loaders and a holster

or a 590 spx with a rattler v2 thermal scope?

>>64872056
I posted my response to everyone at the very end of the thread so I’ll put it here again
That was essentially a list I came up with that are all somewhat compact and “smaller than a full-size service pistol”, and also not super tiny
They were what I was looking at for a very very first pistol to practice with before I get something more compact to dedicate to concealment and carry
Small enough to not be giant but big enough to handle easily
I do not want a striker-fired in the slightest (especially not a glock), and my thought on these was just irons for simplicity.
Some of those smaller ones for later were stuff like the CSX (+E Series), PX4 Storm Compact, P30SK, Rami, CDS9, etc

I see no reason to shell out for a Streamlight or something else fancy.
>>
>>64871966
It's not. Pretty simple really. You can take it apart and easily put it back together. The main problem is you have to take off the rear sight to get out the mag disconnect and the fireing pin safety.

There is no reason that you need a gun because it’s from X brand

The carry model is aluminum frame and the decocker trigger is reportably worse than the safety models. Is there any reason the Beretta 92 is not considered versus the carry?
>>
>>64872366
>DO NOT buy something with a Manũel safety for a ccw
Why? Are you incapable of being trained to flip a safety off during your draw without thinking of it? I've been doing it for over 10 years.
>>
Don't engage with him, he's going to argue that you can't train around a safety.
>>
You can train around safety, da/sa trigger states, iron sights, you can train fast reloads and cope with 8 round magazine, you can train to hold an off-weapon light instead of mounting one on the gun. You can train to do many things, but it's all ministry of silly walks material. You are putting obstacles in front of yourself, and then jump over them.

I have only owned manual transmission cars since I got my first one in 2006. I don't even think about it when driving, whether it be in traffic or ripping through gears as fast as I can. It's always people that can't drive that think a manual transmission is a difficulty. If you do something enough it becomes second nature. A manual saftey won't mean shit to anyone that actually trains. I did five years in the Marines and to this day I don't even think about flipping the safety off when I mean to do something with an AR. Just train.

I need an optic due to cross eye dominance, and it can't be too big either so nothing beyond 4" barrel. And super reliable of course.

So I take it there is something wrong with the CZ Shadow 2 carry?

>I need an optic due to cross eye dominance
lmfao no you don't. I'm cross eye dominant and just got my first pistol optic last year. I actually shoot better and faster with irons since I haven't had the time to train with it. They're not a silver bullet
>>
>>64872712
>They're not a silver bullet
But they are a major improvement. See the Sage Dynamics study.
>>
>>64872728
That's not up for debate. I'm telling you that cross eye dominance does not mean you "need" an optic. Whoever told you that was trying to sell you something.

Unironically. They are good pocket lights. I use my Tlr1 more often for late night retrieving with the pooch than on my gun. Fits in my pocket and is bright enough to charge her glow ball instantly.

It's what I like to shoot with. It's easier and faster and I like to shoot with both eyes open. If irons is good for you, that's good for you.

You could go buy a used Taurus G2C and as long as you keep it maintained and train correctly and regularly, you'll be better off than 99% of gun owners. Nobody likes to hear that but it's true

So the only real handgun tier list is: get off your ass
>>
>>64873073
Usually their stuff (other than clothing) is pretty overpriced. I'm not sure how long the funbux last, if they ever expire, but if it's possible to hold on to them until Beretta does one of their frequent 20-40% off sales, that would be the time to strike

Think of the berettabux like a 50% off coupon ($200 to spend instead of $100 real money). Magazines aren't 200% overpriced, so even now that would probably be a good use of it. But on sale, it would be killer

I can’t see myself putting a dot on my handgun even if I get one dot compatible.
If I can hit fine with irons I just don’t think the extra money and hassle is worth it.
Even if it is an upgrade I think the margins with handguns are slim anyway and it likely won’t matter at the end of the day.

Hello /hg/, I'm in need of some advice.

I got the chance to get an old 1911, but I don't know how to check if it's worth getting or not.

What's a tell tale or a red flag of said 1911 being in shite condition?
>>
Is the M9A4 the best 92 for very experienced shooters? Is there anything the other models have over it?
>>
>>64874429
If you're a good shot with handguns it makes you much more accurate out to further distances. They're not mandatory but they make aimed shots trivial.
>>
>>64874429
Based and reasonable. I may try a dot on a pistol someday, just not one I would carry concealed.
>>
One thing I think is slept on about optics is that they make tiny guns actually aimable past 20 feet. Some pocket pistols have a 25-30 moa front sight post so an optic allows you to carry a gun that will overall be smaller but still have peace of mind for any scenarios that take place further than bad breath distance.
>>
>>64874429
>>64874552
If you're okay being 20% slower, that's entirely on you.
>>
>>64874575
>Slower by 20%
By far and away an extremely wide margin the fastest to put the first shot on target are iron sights. Competition shooting does not translate to military, police or self defense shooting. While practicing in a competition style is great for familiarity, there is another step of training you have obviously skipped.
>>
>>64874575
>20% slower
How do you figure? A dot isn't magic, it just takes sight radius out of the picture and gives a more precise aiming point. The gun recoils pretty much the same way with or without a dot. So if you can train to be fast with a dot, then surely you can train to be fast with irons.

In terms of precision though, the dot obviously wins
>>
Lol this is gonna be good we have a real pseud on our hands.
>>
>>64874645
In every shooting competition dot users are at least 25% faster

It takes sight alignment out of the picture completely, the dot is where the bullet goes and shooting rapid fire you can literally track the muzzle under recoil and shoot as soon as it’s back on target
>>
>>64874616
You are talking completely out of your ass

>>64874537
LTT Elites are better
>>
>>64874655
>It takes sight alignment out of the picture completely
I guess I'm hung up on this. When you put your dot on target, is the gun not in the same position as if you had aligned your iron sights? From my understanding, with a dot you're doing the very same alignment of the sights, just with a simpler reference point since your sight picture is flattened into a single plane
>>
>>64874667
Yes, ignoring distortion from the lens which shifts the dot when at the edges of the window, the dot is where as if the sights are aligned. You aren’t doing anything or is the sight reference single plane, the dot is a laser beam projected into space that corresponds to where the muzzle of the gun is aiming. It allows for completely target focus shooting, the dot appears on the target; not on the gun.

Noobs get hung up on the dot and stare at their red dot which is the wrong way to use it, you look at the target and if the optic window is aligned with your eyes you will see the dot on the target.
>>
Are cz derivatives worth the time or should I just buy a h&k pistol?
>>
>>64874682
So the advantage of the red dot is that you can focus on the target, which remains more stable in your view than the dot itself, or your iron sights. And I guess if you're visually focused on something that's not moving like the sights under recoil, then it's faster to "line up" your next shot?
>>
>>64874695
You should buy a Beretta
>>
What's up /hg/. I'm new to guns and am loving my Bodyguard 2.0. Question tho, do I ALWAYS have to really slam that mag in there? I know if the slide stop is engaged it goes right in, but I don't usually load a mag from that position.
>>
>>64874724
Yes, it also helps immensely for shooting on the move, target transitions, and moving targets
>>
>>64874732
they don't offer the m9a4 in black and usa made QC IS AWFUL
>>
>>64874732
I already own a beretta. Note I don’t have the Landon bar installed, but the trigger on the cz is vastly superior.
>>
>>64872680
Bingo.
>>
>>64874616
>>64874645
The data disagrees with you. Cope.
>>
>>64874755
Langdon’d 92s are better IMO than firing pin block CZ with CGW parts, never got enough trigger time on a CGW or stock shadow 2 to compare but in the realm of aluminum and polymer DA/SAs the Beretta 92 and PX4 have the best trigger. The berettas have a shorter reset than the firing pin block CZs IIRC with the Langdon bar.

HK DA/SA triggers are dog shit as Burt would say (he wouldn’t use those words) but CZ, Sig, Beretta all outshine them in every trigger metric
>>
>>64874777
Shut up faggot I'm learning here
>>
>>64874794
Then get over yourself and stop spewing your shitass know nothing takes. Shut up and learn.
>>
>>64874724
>>64874745
You mechanically could shoot irons the same way a red dot can be used, complete target focus, but you rely on “muscle memory” and index a lot more but you don’t have the confirmation that a red dot gives you. A colored front sight would give a blurry point of aim as you focus on the target and not the front sight. I shoot irons like this because of how much I shoot red dots and it works but it’s not as precise or can I do it as accurately at speed.

Like I’m capable of a sub 1s draw from concealment with both irons and a red dot, but I don’t have a clue where the bullet is going with irons but with a red dot I’ll see a flash of red on the target as I’m drawing before I shoot so I know I’m on target. I can wait to let the red settle as I stop moving or I can shoot immediately. That same settling can be done while shooting follow up shots, I can wait to see the dot settle back on my point of aim or I can shoot as soon as I see color near my point of aim. With a big enough window and low enough muzzle rise the shooter will see a streak of red up and down as they shoot.
>>
>>64874793
I’ll take your word for it. The cz was their turkshit no frills model. Caught my interest. I hope to post my 92 soon. Currently gotta dremel/sand down the Aimtech. Tried out an armalaser and ended up really liking it. Doesn’t 100% best out a mr11 adapter, but if you gotta have an optic, sacrifices must be made.

OODA loop is just a fancy way of saying "reacting to the situation." I think they teach it to football players now. what if someone pushes you to the ground and you need to draw, or your gun falls out of the holster, or someone takes it and then you get it back. Are you 100% confident you will remember to hit the safety when its not a typical draw from the holster?
>>
>>64874828
Stock berettas can be easily improved with just a hammer spring change, the stock weight is like 20 pounds on the 92FS where doing down to a 16 pound is a big improvement (some of them come 16 pound stock), with a skeleton hammer like the elite 2 hammer you can go lower to 12-13 pounds depending on example which should net a 6 pound DA pull. With a trigger job polishing surfaces it should be below 6 pounds closer to 5. I had a PX4 at 4.5 pounds but 1/1000 times it would fail to penetrate a primer (if I used softer primers it would be no issue). But I raised it to 5 pounds with a new hammer spring and it’s been reliable.
>>
>>64874738
With any autoloader when the slide is forward you are compressing the bullet stack against the bottom of the slide. With the slide open you are not fighting the magazine spring.
>>
>>64874655
>In every shooting competition dot users are at least 25% faster
you are wrong
>>
>>64874850
Pull up all the classifier stages and average them. The one I saw that on most stages dots were 25% faster

If irons are only 3% slower, than surely this will be reflected across the average. Why even have different classes if irons aren’t meaningfully slower
>>
>>64874836
Yeah, hammer spring is already done. I’m happy with where it’s at but likely going to do the Langdon bar eventually. I trust betetta qc a lot more than cz. I hear tangfolio’s are the only way to go now but even that doesn’t inspire confidence
>>
>>64874777
Show the data. Everything I have seen shows first shot time is demonstrably faster with iron sights. Same with shotguns. Hence the single front bead of short fast use shotguns.sounds like you are just basing your opinion on sport competition shooting and not real world results and training. "Glass" on pistols and shotguns is a joke that spiraled out of control

Simple solution: don't go to New Jersey and don't smoke weed

Actual answer to your question: I don't think it would be an insta-felony, but it seems like something easily checkable so why on earth would you want to risk being able to lawfully possess and carry your gun?

Struggling to even show in sport comp shooting that glass is faster? Yes you are. Remember in competition sport shooting the speed of the first shot isn't a major factor in winning. So the Data that doesn't even shot a statistically verifiable difference doesn't even support your claim that irons are somehow not as good.
The fact remains in draw and fire challenges, verifiable police shootings, self defense AND in practice fastest first shots are with iron using proven military techniques and training.

>>64874986
It's not an argument when you could not even provide data to support your own side. Considering numerous people have pointed out the times of average people using archaic pistols are light years faster than modern top level sport competition shooters on first shot hits it's under the label of common knowledge at this point. When a 12 year old girl is faster by half a second than the top level sport competition shooter and she isn't even ranked you need to reevaluate your opinion and training.

Carry Optics faster than Production, Rimfire Rifle Optics faster than Rimfire Rifle Irons, PCC Optics faster than PCC Irons, Rimfire Pistol Optics faster than Rimfire Pistol Irons

Note that this is Steel Challenge, the most compressed shooting sport, where strings of fire are about 2-3 seconds. If optic-equipped guns were truly "slower to get on target" than irons, it would show up here, and yet optics guns are STILL faster. The gap only widens when you move to sports with longer strings of fire, such as USPSA/IDPA.
>>
Moreover, another massive benefit of red dots is that they give you a lot more data when doing dryfire training. Ironscucks never mention this, because they don't practice in dryfire.
>>
>>64875305
I don't deny this, but >>64874655 said 25% faster which is wrong. its closer to 10%, and more like 5 in USPSA

First shot hits are the only thing that matters. As stated over and over that you keep ignoring. Should we ignore the fact you clearly don't understand how the open class works and obliterated your point.
Show me literally anyone in the world setting a first shot hit time with optics and I'll show you several dozen unranked people decimating that time with iron sighted revolvers and 1911s years ago.
You are out of your element. The disparity between competition sport and training and actual practice for being in a shooting is worlds apart.
>>
>>64874850
Limited has Major scoring, Limited Optics doesn't. Despite this, Limited Optics still winning should be very indicative.

>>64875305
Jesse harrison, millisecond molly all use iron in the open class. One would be a female who took everyone in the competition including the males. Odd how the best return to iron sights in a class that is fastest where you can literally use anything at all.

The red dot guns hit the first shot faster, hence they're faster in Steel Challenge than irons guns. I've given data to support my side, and you've given nothing but supposition and fuddlore.
You're getting really upset because you know you're overmatched.
>>
>>64875323
I saw a chart where it was 25%, I don’t really care enough to argue with some pseudo master shooter thinking that a first shot on target with irons is faster. When physically the motion to draw and shoot is exactly the same, I can hit sub second draws with my iron sighted guns, I just have no clue where the bullet is going and relying purely on technique and index instead of the flash of red I see on the target with my dot

how about carry optics v production. even with unlimited mag capacity, (compared to 15 limit), trigger jobs, and 14 more oz, the difference is only about 12%.

So, just for shits and gigs, let's be scientific, and look at some results!
Now, for these, keep in mind: typically, you get DOUBLE the penalty for hitting a C zone in Limited Optics shooting minor than you do in Limited shooting major.

With that caveat in hand, here's an Area champs from last year. Tope Hetherington (top 5 CO shooter in the world) took fourth overall, second best pistol, shooting Limited Optics. Michal Stepan (second best production shooter in Europe, probably top 5 worldwide) took 20th overall, BUT, Stepan was shooting a 9mm Laugo, so he didn't have Major power factor.

The delta between Limited Optics minor and Limited minor here: 150 points, or 9% overall. That's the difference between Michal's 20th finish and finishing 70th. btw.
>>
>>64875369
The evidence you gave showed to open class is the fastest. The open class includes iron sights, lasers, optics. A quick glance will show as stated at the top and looking at the times the iron sights are at the top. Just like in draw and shoot competition iron sights have scored .281 in draw to hit times in males and .314 in females. If course the male record is actually .16 in a competition.
All worlds faster than anything happening with optics.
>>64875375
You shouldn't have to use your sights at all to hit a paper plate within 12 feet. If you do you shouldn't be giving an opinion on shooting until you work out why you can not. I know, but you need to break your own biases.
>>
>>64875375
yea that guy isnt me. IDK how you could claim red dots have a slower draw. It like saying Single action revolvers have the fastest draw because of those cowboy action hip shot guys.

Here we have another Area champs. Ashton Hammond took fourth overall and third pistol shooting Limited Optics. The first non-optics shooter is World Champ Nils Jonasson, who took 25th in Production. Nils was at a disadvantage here, because Prod guns have smaller magazine limits, and Nils, shooting Production, was obviously still shooting Minor PF.

Ntg, they do have the fastest draw to shot time. World record in a competition is .16. what is your argument? That being able to draw and fire in .281 is somehow slower Ernie hill was .208.
What the fuck is actually your argument?
You can watch that ex navy seal draw and fire from concealment faster than top level comp shooters do. He isn't bragging. He isn't talking about it. He says out loud all kinds of positive things about optics. In practice however he never even looked down those sights on the first shot.
You have missed the boat on how things work. You are claiming the training wheels make the bike faster.

12 feet is pissing distance

I’m talking 7 yards 1.0-1.1 draws into the A zone

so if you milled a Ruger Vaquero and put a holosun on it the draw would take twice as long? why would a quickdraw grinder use an optic since they are point shooting? It wouldn't be a pointless expense and complication. it doesn't mean the optic would slow them down.
>>
>>64875425
12 feet is the distance 99.999% of all pistol engagements happen from. The closer you are the faster your draw to first shot time needs to be. As well as your reaction time.
Being slower isn't faster when the other guy can hit you in the head repeatedly half a second faster than you.

So, to wrap up this hard data: Optics guns are faster off than irons guns, even off the get go. They’re faster in Steel Challenge, and they’re faster in USPSA.
They’re better in the real world, too: if you look at Aaron Cowan’s police datasets, the cops with red dot-equipped guns performed better in simunitions exercises, and got better hits in the field.

Moreover, looking past this hard data and into anecdotal evidence, all of the good shooters in /hg/ shoot optics guns the best. VERY CURIOUS!

That's pretty slow anon. .7 is about the average for people who are familiar with their handgun and give it a go who are not physically or athletic challenged.
That might not seem like a lot of time but that means the average non challenged shooter will already have a bullet in you before you squeeze the trigger. That means you won't even get a hit on target at all.

First of all, what starting position? Second of all, STFU, .7s is NOT "about average" for draw from concealment to first shot. .7s surrender draw is national champion material in competition and that's from 3:00 open carry.

Not beretta's best work. Brother in law got one and it won't reliably lock back on an empty mag and likes to throw 124gr ammo, which it's supposed to like, randomly several feet off target, so the barrel is fucked. Unless you get it for a smoking deal I'd miss it, or buy a Ruger RXM instead

There is no standard starting position in life. Try training that way.
>>
>>64875507
I showed you to champions who used iron sights in the open class. It's all rather irrelevant as in things like the speed challenge you prioritize the plate the greatest distance away. These competitors do not have the fastest draw to shot time. They like other competition sport shooters prioritize a strategy inside the game they are playing and consistency.
If you want to argue about who is fastest and what equipment they use fine. Show the fastest draw to shot times. Unfortunately you will ALWAYS lose that argument. All the fastest draw to shot shooters have the same thing in common. From SSA to Glock, 1911 to 92 none of them use an optic.

>There is no standard starting position
Way to miss the point stupid fuck. Without a starting position specified any time you name is 100% completely and utterly meaningless. It's like saying "I can run a 10.5" without specifying what race. What's the start? Hands up? Hand under your shirt ready to draw AIWB? Hand already on your gun? STFU you dumb noguns faggot.

I'm joining this dogpile. You're full of shit. You never have and never will get a 0.7s draw, you've probably never even shot a local steel challenge match let alone anything recognizable on a national level. Grand masters do 0.7s first shots and they have their hands halfway to the gun before the 0.5s duration beep is even finished.

I can't believe all these people are vomiting opinions who have never been in a self defense, police or military action and had to use a pistol. You don't use the sights AT ALL on the first shot with a pistol. The entire point is to put lead into the threat first. After that first shot sights are still irrelevant outside the fact that much modern glass will interfere with your two open eyes field of view more than irons ever could.

>>
>>64875962
I already showed you how optics are faster in every category in Steel Challenge, which is the fastest shooting sport. If optics were appreciably slower, as you baselessly claim, we would see that in the Steel Challenge data. We don't. Because you're a lying boomer nigger.

Remember when you said that the world record fastest Steel Challenge participants used iron sights? And then it took 30 seconds on Google to show that you're full of shit?

lol
>>
>>64875956
OK
>>
>>64875972
Well my claim was that steel is faster for draw to first shot times. And it is for a number of reasons. You showed times from a sport that does not reward or focus on being the fastest draw to shot. It prioritizes sequence of shot inside the sport.
I do remember when I named two open steel challenge competitors who used iron sights and won. Very recently.
Now go back on the Internet and find the fastest draw to shot times. I'll go out and shoot a bit. When we get back here you will be chimping out about some other sport because I'm right. And you are wrong. You will always be wrong.
The numbers you are looking for are in the threes because obviously you are a woman and thats the woman's record. .16 or point .2 and change if you transitioned to a man. And those are all in competition. And before you try to say not with live ammo those same numbers were achieved outside a competition setting as well with live ammo.
For some perspective you haven't even thought of pulling your piece latisha and you are already domed.
>>

You won't do shit, because you don't own any guns. You will NEVER post your guns here, and you will NEVER post groups here, and you will NEVER post video of you shooting pistols for "performance", because you're a cowardly and retarded boomer.

Literally all of the actual data supports me. All of the Steel Challenge times, all of the USPSA times, all of the real-world data such as in Aaron Cowan's white paper. That's why I can post these datasets to my credit and your discredit. That's why I can post pictures of Max Michel setting the Steel Challenge record with a dot-equipped gun, while you can't do shit.

You're the same retard from a few months ago who tried to argue that Cowboy action shooters shooting wax bullets with a seventh of the power of actual guns represented realistic combat. You're full of shit, and everyone knows it. Even you do.

they literally ride around in circles on horses and shoot towards the crowd, at balloons three feet in front of them

>>64876038
Those wax bullets do not disintegrate, I’ve been hit by ricochet’s fucking around in my back yard. They’re shooting some sort of paper shot that loses energy fast or just a straight up blank. The pressure from a blank should be enough to pop a balloon.

It's not solid wax, the wax just seals the paper/sawdust/flour that they put in the shot.

>>
>>64876293
All the various 1911/2011isms. It took a long time for 2011s to get as reliable as they are today and they are still not considered super reliable. Because so many manufacturers are making 1911/2011s tolerances are all over the place.

There was also the huge panic over having a manual safety will get you killed, ie revolvers and DA/SAs.
>>
>>64876310
>they are still not considered super reliable
I'm not a competition shooter, so every gun I buy is both a range toy, and a potential self defense tool. If reliability is important what brands/models should I be focusing on? I think I'd probably pass on anything by Sig or BUL without even trying them out.
>>
>>64876334
Reliability is very example specific, if it isn’t reliable then something is wrong with it, like extractor tension (if internal extractor like the old 1911 or prodigy). Most issues are caused by magazines but 2011 mags are good now, some guns may not like Prodigy mags (dura mag) as most of them are checkmate mags (staccato, kimber, most 2011s), or atlas or mbx mags. MecGar also started making 2011 mags.

Used Staccatos are usually around 2000, Kimber is good but they’re 1800 at the cheapest new, they just made a new low end model called the Warrior which literally just came out but is between 900-1100 dollars in 9mm, 10mm or .45 ACP. Bul isn’t a true 2011 and is proprietary. There’s cheaper 2011s below 1k like the LFA Apollo which the one example I’ve seen is reliable and a good base for mods. Tisa and Mac exists but I witnessed someone having issues with a MAC 2011 but they had infinity and other aftermarket components, I mean I have some issues with my fucking super expensive Nighthawk.

I’m really hoping the Warrior DS is good, but it blends more traditional 1911 stuff than the 2k11. It uses a bushing barrel, internal extractor, and a GI guide rod?

what two syllable alternative to "revolver" do you recommend

You just shoot and practice with 9mm most of the time and then practice with these the other time once a few times a year. They aren't much different. 9mm to 357 skills transfer very well. You just have to hold the gat a little more firmly.

I've heard the stories, but my Staccato C has never once malfunctioned on me through classes, USPSA matches and regular range trips. I trust it enough to have it listed on my CCW, although I usually tend to carry a cheaper gun that I wouldn't cry as much over if I actually had to use it and get it taken by the cops as evidence.

So, I wanted to buy a PPK in 7,65
I wanted to spend less than 200€
I asked a friend if he wants to sell one to me
He says he can sell me one for 250€
But I could also buy it together with a vz61 for 800€

So guess what, instead of spending less than 200€ for a PPK, I spent 800€ and bought a PPK and another gun

In the popular game available on steam called schedule 1 you can find places called dispos that only require visual confirmation of your identification for age verification as well as simply accepting cash as payment. If there's a scanner that goes beep then the alleged RNG % chance goes from a near 0% to an unknown number.

The grizzly LAR is amazing, my uncle who hunted bears had a .44 one. Unfortunately his misses sold it when he past and I was a mere jit when he was gone.

Dispensaries are debanked and don't work with state or federal law enforcement and many states simply legislate adult sales like alcohol, the only thing that could fuck you is if you in the past got a medical card which can be looked up in a background check. Aside from simply not smoking weed, not being high or smelling like weed when you go to the range or gun store helps a lot.

Hi /hg/, I want a .357 revolver. I intend on oogling it 90% of the time, shooting 38 Special through it the other 9%, and the final 1% might be me carrying it with some defensive .357 Magnum.
I have a very specific aesthetic criteria. Notably, I want a half-lug barrel between 4-5 inches, a flat-bottomed grip with a smooth curve profile, and an adjustable rear sight. Stainless-steel slightly preferred, but it doesn't matter too much.
I've considered the Security Six, the Model 19/66/19C, and the Lipsey's GP100. I don't really fancy the idea of spending $1000 on a complicated art piece that occasionally spins and slings lead if I can avoid it.

Pythons are ugly though. I'd sooner get a Taurus Raging Bull than a Python.

>Glock
for a beginner, a striker gun which is essentially SAO and has no user-safeties sounds like a terrible choice, am I insane? I learned on a DA/SA with a decocker so I'm biased, I feel that is the safest type as well as the most enjoyable to use
>>
>>64878129
I think a striker is closer to DAO. if a glock is unsafe so is a revolver

What the frig? It's new isn't it? I knew Trijewcon's warranty was jewishly short but I didn't think it was THAT short

They replaced the FO collectors on one of my RMRs that was 5 years old

Glock triggers are two-stage where the first unlocks the sear and the second breaks after the "wall"
>no user-safeties
It has three safeties: one on the trigger, the aforementioned sear lock and firing pin detent

>>64875469
Youre actually smoking crack. Sub one second from open carry is pretty good. Getting sub second from concealed is god tier

All 4 are in the shop? You could collage them. It's like moms AI generating what their stillborns would look like
