Question from a first time gun consider'er
if I buy a normal 92FS can I swap the barrel out for that newer sleeker Centurion barrel with the crowned tip?
What other parts are interchangeable on the old 92FS with newer 92 series guns?
Like could I replace the entire upper slide for one of the newer ones with RDO plate?
>>
>>64999447
A Glock 17 holster, it’ll just be super long for the 26. They all share the same slide width, frame height, and trigger guard
>>
>>64999454
Generally a full size slide will fit a full size frame
>>
Ignoring the retardation of it, could a PPK be optics cut? Not sure if the slide is too thin
>>
>>64999447
>>
>>64999460
No, the design of the PPK predates pistol optics by at least half a century
Plus it would defeat the purpose of the handgun, it's meant to be small, light, and simple

>parts compatibility
With 92FS yes, with 92S, No. Major thing about the 92F and 92FS is that they all had to have interchangeable parts for US Military acceptance. Hence them being 92 F for Federal, the S stands for the safety upgrade to the hammer pin to catch the slide if it ever breaks in two
>centurion barrel in full-size
No, too short. The flush cut barrel is actually a 4.7 barrel (standard is 4.9), a centurion barrel is 4.3 inches
>centurion/compact slide on full-size
Too long of slide rails to work, the reverse works but your dust cover isn’t long enough to cover up the recoil spring

>new full-size RDO slide on old frame
Yeah, I do that all the time
>>
>>64999402
I have a question but I'm saving it for this post. Who makes the best single stack 1911 magazines? In my personal experience the 8-rounders (I think they're Mecgar?) that came with my poorfag Tisas ran fine, but the S&W 8-rounder I picked up from Sportsmans gives me failures to feed. Sometimes it hiccups in the middle of the magazine, but it almost always fails when full after firing a +1 in the chamber.
>>
I really enjoy long slides. Aesthetically, I want to get a 17L. What are some other good guns with near comically long slides
>>
>>64999483
USP Elite
>>
>>64999482
Is the 8 round S&W mag extended body? People try to make 8 round magazines the same dimensions of the 7 round and while possible it doesn’t seem to be super reliable.

I prefer the Wilson ETM magazine, they lengthened the body, fancy steel tube, polymer anti tilt follower, and thick flatwire magazine springs. I did have one of the 8 I purchased with a damaged follower somehow and replaced it, it’s working fine now. In the OP I have the special Vickers tactical version that removes the viewing window so debris can’t get inside for extra tactical purposes. I eventually was going to have anime girls lasered onto them.

Wilson, Tripp Research, are good. I was going to try the MecGar Match magazines since they have a good baseplate design. Wilson 47D is their old classic design, the ETM is their new design that’s lengthened and has better springs

>Is the 8 round S&W mag extended body? People try to make 8 round magazines the same dimensions of the 7 round and while possible it doesn’t seem to be super reliable.
It is. I think I'll stick with Wilson for the next time I buy mags, I already trist their springs and they've been in the 1911 biz for decades now. It's not my carry so I'm not concerned with concealability, I'll probably buy some 10 rounders next.
>>
>>64999499
A brand made in my country, both a regular lubricant and one to remove lead/copper from the barrel and a gun oil I've never used. Most cases you just need a rod with a nylon brush and a gun lubricant, the other stuff is just very niche.

I found a place where they sell hoppe's 9, I want to get a bottle of that just to smell it, they say you can see the gun fairy

Everything you said, I feel the same. I want a gen 6 17L but i'm not sure they'll make one, so i'm considering a gen 5. Plus, I missed on a 1k USP Elite in 9x19 because I did bought a Tactical two weeks before. Life is made of pain.

No. Not because the slide is too thin, you could attach a place with centrally aligned screws, but the loaded chamber indicator is just inside the top rear of the slide. There's no room for screws, even if you could overcome the weight imbalance it would cause

No but the 9mm model is aluminum. The others are steel, the .38 super version you could swap back to 9mm with a new barrel

I worked on m9s in the army and all of them were beat to shit. But my dad has three 92fs I think? All of them very crisp and I like them a lot

But my p229 is pure sexo. I like p226/p229s more for the simple fact that there are less moving parts and less exposed parts. I'm almost jealous of the navy and marine armorer fags because they didn't have to deal with all the stupid officer shit that happens to 92fs's. Particularly when some retard officer decides to take his leatherman and pop off the hand guards and starts trying to "clean" the gun. There are lots of detents and springs both in the slide and in the pistol grip of the firearm that all need to be in just the right place for the magazine release and loaded chamber indicator and everything to function properly. If installed correctly go crazy, but retards fuck them up all the time. Even my dad who I consider to be very mechanically inclined and very knowledgeable about guns has detail stripped his and gone "why won't the safety drop the slide? Why is it still firing da with the safety on?" Because he installed literally one detent and a spring incorrectly

I can't lie, the drip of an all stainless Italian made 92fs is unmatched. But the simplicity and reliability of a p226/p229 is unparalleled. I've ran mine like a Amish mule since 2004. I can only ballpark the thousands of rounds that I've sent through it. I've never, in over 20 years, ever had a failure to feed, a failure to fire, or a failure to eject. That's is a fact. It's never ever once failed on me, and there is something to be said for that. Of course I've only ever used high quality ammo, and Ive never used anything but the OG factory sig magazines.

Depends on what your philosophy of use [POU] for the Glock happens to be. If you have competition shooting in mind, look into Timney or Apex. If you actually plan on carrying everyday [EDC], it wouldn't be wise to deviate from the factory trigger since they're optimised for reliability and safety. Unless you were unfortunate enough to receive an 8lb "connector" as I was but there are still lighter, OEM options like the 4.5lb "minus connector". For me, that's not enough definition to the "wall" and feels too much like a double-action pull so I currently have the 5.5-pounder installed and will be trying it during live fire soon

MSRP is a large built in margin. Most online resellers don't maintain stock, they partner with distributors and vendors to drop ship guns in exchange for a commission. Many are willing to take a very VERY small commission for this, just barely over dealer cost, because they have little to no overhead.

Mechanically it's a different slide & frame with basically the same fire control group as the USP but with a slightly longer barrel and a simplified recoil spring assembly. Effectively it has slightly (but noticeably) more felt recoil and -2 mag capacity, with the upsides being better ergonomics, picatinny vice proprietary rail, and a slightly longer sight radius. It's *fine* but the USP has more support thanks to being older and thus having sold more, so magazines are easier to find.

New to 92FS ownership and I'd like to get some trigger upgrades if anyone could recommend any. The take up and reset in single action are kinda crazy when compared to literally any other handgun I have, I'd like to reduce it as much as possible
>>
>>65002470
LTT trigger bar reduces reset
Match hammer reduces take up in SA and reduces trigger pull weight, the LTT optimized hammer is the same profile as the match hammer

13 pound hammer spring is the lowest I would go but 12 seems to work for people. A LTT trigger job gets the DA pull below 6 pounds and the SA pull to be 2.5 or less.

Get a 3.5 pound connector, a New York trigger spring, and take the spring out of the little plastic housing so you only install the plastic piece. It leaves the trigger pull weight the same, but gives it more of a smooth, rolling break rather than stacking up to a mushy wall.

I had a 507 comp (samurai-approved edition) sitting on a shelf so I just swapped it. I was planning to swap to this a while ago but was disappointed to find the boxier shape prints so I shelved it til now. I wonder if Holsoun/Vortex went for the boxy design bc it looks cooler or bc the rounded shape is less durable - SRO is obviously an inferior optic in many ways but it still seems to be the only large window optic that doesn't print whatsoever at appendix bc of the shape.

Honestly they didn't go far enough. The spider web grip was inspired by the P30 which was being developed at the same time; they should''ve given the thing swappable side panels as well. P30 has those and a removable back strap, but somehow HK didn't give those to the HK45 as well.

Yes. If you're going for actual, wooden Samurai Edge grips then I wouldn't go with DSGrips anymore. It's not that his grips aren't good quality, it's just that they used to be actual wood and are now made from Richlite. It's like densely stacked resin/paper material. It doesn't look like wood. I've used him for non-wood grips though. (pic related)

CDW is the way to go for actual wood, but he only produces his in batches and they sell out very quickly.

why? youre going to spend $4,000 on a handgun? A 1911 of all things. one that will not be functionally more beneficial to you than a $600 equivalent? you'll buy this thing and take some shitty phone pics for your internet buddies on 4chan and then shoot it 3 times a year while pretending youre a better person for having done so. you'll never use it beyond internet clout pics and trying to impress fudds at the range. fuck, no one on 4chan will even care. it's not 2012 anymore. expensive guns don't make for interesting threads anymore. our fucking attention spans are gone. we just consume and consume media. we're used to seeing rich people on youtube with nice guns. there's no novelty. you're buying it to shoot solely for yourself, and that won't last longer than the first couple of range trips. one day you'll put the thing in the safe and it won't see the light of day until your kids fight over the inheritance and pawn it for $700 to fund their drug addiction.
>>
>>65003253
Some people just like shooting a 1911 more than anything. There’s magic to the 1911, the slide stroke length being longer than almost all guns, the hammer spring and recoil spring, the full steel frame make it very nice shooting. A few cops carry 1911s, I remember pastebin posting one where a cop performs an impromptu ballistics test on someone with a TRP full rail 1911.

Les Baer offers refinishing on their guns

The Premier II has adjustable sights and front serrations, the Trooper doesn’t have front serrations and uses a fixed Novak rear. What features do you want?

>bushing barrel
>classic styling?

I’ve seen Wilson CQBs which is very similar for 1600-2000 used at the lowest. Nighthawk Talons around 2200. Les Baers around 2k and sometimes lower.

I’m honestly 4/4 having to send back Nighthawks for issues but they shoot very well, super good, I really like the Predator barrel since it does cut down recoil somehow.

I know ergonomics were the hot meme when the HK45 was developed and that's why it has a goofy looking grip, but why the FUCK is an HK45 10+1 when the grip is slightly taller than a Mark 23 which is 12+1?

>What other parts are interchangeable on the old 92FS with newer 92 series guns?
From 92FS onward pretty much everything is interchangeable if it's a slide mounted safety gun. Even then you can still technically do some swap combos depending exactly on which guns we're talking about but there is gonna be some weird shit
>e.g. a DA/SA gun with no safety or decocker

Prior to the 92FS, if you have any interest at all, the changes depend on which way you go. You could, for instance, put an M9A4 slide on an OG Beretta 92, but not vice-versa only because of the oversized hammer pin introduced on the 92FS. However, barrels are interchangeable, hammers, guide rods, locking blocks, takedown levers, magazines (depending on cut-out, they'll definitely both seat in each one and feed but may not lock), etc.
>MAC had some video where I think he puts an M9A3 slide on a 92S just to illustrate the point.

Keep in mind there are obvious improvements to the platforms, notably the locking block went through various generations, it was the real weak point in the design-- not the infamous slide. Early blocks may only last as few as 5,000 rounds, the latest ones recommended to last 20,000 rounds.

On interchangeability you can even talk about Taurus PT92 to the latest guns, the caveats are pretty much all the same when it comes to what goes with a Beretta 92 (OG). This is because the PT92 started life as a licensed manufacture of the original 92 and every "improvement" Taurus made that the current 92 series shares was their own design, e.g. button mag release.

Noguns here. Is it better to learn on iron sights and then switch to red dot later, or does starting on red dot make you a better shootist? Red dots are aesthetically icky and I want a traditional weapon like a 1911A1 that doesn't have any of the zoomer space gun shit on it. Because it goes better with my fedora, ok? Fuck off with your fud shaming.

Similarly, does it make sense to start on 22 LR to focus on putting the bullet in the center before struggling with flinch reduction, or some shit like that, or does that just delay the inevitable? I don't want to spend an extra $1000 on a whole other gun and ammo and wasted range time if it's not efficient.

Lastly, does it make sense to start with a rube goldberg gun that has a decocker and a SA/DA mode and manual safeties and whatever else, because that teaches you something important for muscle memory, or do Real Shooters start with striker fired and save the grandpa stuff for later.

learning with irons builds muscle memory as to presenting (pointing) properly. Dots are to supplement that with faster followups.

Youll always be more accurate with a dot but its not necessary.
>>
>>65004128
All your questions essentially come down to 1) why are you buying a gun and 2) what's your budget?

If you just want a handgun for learning to shoot and to keep at home in case someone breaks in, you can buy fucking anything. If you're planning to conceal carry, you're going to want something lighter and thinner to make it more concealable on your person.
>>
>>65004128
If you don't want a red dot, don't get a red dot.

I've been shooting handguns for 20+ years, I'm in the same boat as you; I think red dots look icky.

Of course a red dot shooter is going to be more accurate at a faster speed than an iron sight. See dot? Bullet go there. Gotta line up sights, you could get it wrong.

Practically speaking, if you're concerned about defense and hitting center mass at reasonable distances then Natural Point of Aim (NOPA) is going to be your friend.

>>65004133
You didn't answer the question though, wtf are you carrying? A fucking PF9? Who carries a single stack 9mm in 2026? If you're gonna have only one stack carry a .45 or something.
>>
>>65004186
I want a handgun because I fell down the click hole starting with Forgotten Weapons and then some cute girl (possibly male) wiggling her ass teaching you how to stand while shooting, and then I found out her dad is a famous shooter and I figure if a fat old man can quick draw faster than in an anime and mag dump faster than the frame rate on youtube then surely I can at least be better than average at a thing (I am not good at things).

The budget it "I don't want to waste money if I don't have to". Not looking to get a Hi Point, but I don't really want to be that gun guy who has a whole closet full of guns. So if I can avoid the extra step of a "beginner pistol" that I'm never going to touch when I graduate to a real pistol, I'd rather not spend the extra money.

nta but I would like to have a nice 1911. the problem is it seems like "nice 1911", according to market demand, is a damascus steel 1911 with "The Punisher" engraved on the sides of the slide, "MAGA" engraved on the back strap, some Jesus quotes engraved on the trigger guard, an American flag anodized custom mag well, an Israeli flag on the top of the slide, blue LEDs for sights, and speed holes everywhere humanly possible

I would actually spend good money on a gun that looks like a GI 1911 but is optimized and made to an incredibly high standard of quality, but it seems like that isn't a thing

>>65004062
HK45 grip is slimmed down enough from the USP that they couldn't reuse the magazines. I'm fully confident that if they could've shoved them in there with the grip design than they would have; the 45C has a different grip design than the 45 which lets it be compatible with the USPC's mags. Just HK being heavily autistic.

Look into the CMP. They sell US surplus 1911s, and have a contract with the Turk company Tisas for M1911A1 clones.
>turkshit
Turk wages lets them make cheap, but all-forged 1911s. RIA is also good at what they do and in a similar price range, but they do cast frames with forged slides. The CMP are also a bunch of autisticly enthusiastic boomers who found US manufacturing partners to literal restarted M1 Garand production made to the original design specs, so that should give some confidence as to the quality they expect from their partners.

Just one option in the lower end price range.

But do you plan on carrying the thing? If it is just to shoot at the range, get a nice 22lr pistol, maybe a Ruger Mark IV or Browning Buckmark. If you're gonna carry it and want to min-max price, get a Ruger RXM. Very good bang for the buck gun but is still high quality, 9mm is the cheapest real cartridge, it uses ubiquitous glock mags and a few parts are compatible as well, you can swap out the grip frame for if you want a subcompact or metal frame, and if you ever decide to try an optic it is already cut for one. If price is a concern, don't bother with a 1911. You can get a cheap Tisas 1911A1, but you will get sick of A1 sights and the cost of ammo will suck unless you get a 9mm.

Ah shit, this is a rabbit hole. Anyone got a QRD on this sort of thing? I've customized long guns (but not handguns yet), but part of the point of a Glock is reliability, so swapping out more and more parts seems like it defeats that purpose. Plus if I want to make/get a fancier handgun, it might be more fun to do that with something more unique.
Or I can just get the damn OEM optic cut slide and be done with it.
>>
>>65004481
Just google "X cut glock 17 slide" and buy whichever one fits the optic you want and doesn't have a bunch of retarded ricer cuts in it. It's not hard.
>>
>>65004511
Cool, thanks! That was the plan from the beginning before I got distracted by everything else. Are there manufacturers or things to avoid, or just use common sense and buy from larger sellers?
>>
>>65004517
Who you buy it from really depends on who offers the optic cut you choose... My only personal experience is with a Live Free Armory LF19 slide and it was fine I just wish it wasn't cerakote instead of a more durable finish like OEM glock. But if you're on a budget it's cheaper than getting an OEM slide + cut + refinish which will probably cost 1.5-2x what something aftermarket costs.

>>
>>65004481
Wager Machine Works is usually the fastest, only 2-4wk lead time for cut+nitride (it's worth the extra wait for nitride over the other options). Buying a second slide is indeed a rabbit hole bc it always ends up costing the same as just buying an entirely new gun.

The other anons suggestion of an rxm is great if you want the best budget option. Personally I'd pay a bit more and get a 92 variant with a rail and optics plate cut since they have a rebate going on right now. Both have large aftermarkets.
>>
>>65004452
Some Rugers are cheap, like the Security 9, but the RXM is basically an improved Glock. Some Ruger handguns go for over a grand so they have a wide range of quality. LCPs are cheapie, but you can't look at a Redhawk Alaskan and think that it's a poor people gun. Their 1911 is also a few steps above Tisas or RIA as well, but isn't a bullshit "hur dur we is da tactard 1911 so it's werf 1500 dolly doos", it's just a good 1911.
Also a Mark IV is a real gun, you dork. My grandpa killed a dude breaking in his house with his old Ruger Standard. Only took 3 shots from what he told me too.

There is no trick into defeating recoil anticipation/flinch issues, you must shoot a real caliber and just learn to accept a huge explosion and noise infront of your face.

>>65004128
Honestly I think learning on a red dot would be better but it’s more difficult to learn the important stuff like index and how to just naturally point the gun at the target without having a baseline developed by irons. Irons have training wheels as you can see the iron sights and adjust to where they are aligned, while a red dot if you can’t see the red dot you have to “find it” by realigning the sight with your eye.

Red dots do make you a better shooter, they allow for total target focus where you just look at the target and see the red dot on it. Total target focus makes things like target transitions, rapid fire, everything much faster.

You have to ask, do you want to shoot like a boomer retard or like John wick (except not using Center Axis Relock since it’s fucking stupid)

That said my favorite style of irons is colored/tritium front and blacked out rear or heinie straight 8. I shoot irons the same way I shoot a red dot, I try to focus on the target completely and the gun/irons blur out to where I just see the front sight as a blur or the two dots on top of each of their. 3 dot sights seem to be more confusing when you focus on the target

NTA but it's a hard question because the majority of tisas 1911s will never see 200 rounds and ones with issues out of the box will obviously be harder to get to a high round count.
If I had to take a liberal educated guess (pulled from my ass), the average lifespan of a tisas 1911 before it becomes inoperable, fails in a catastrophic way, or has to get sent back to tisas to make it function well is
9mm 10-15k rounds
45 5k rounds (the highest round count I've ever seen even claimed is 9k)
10mm 3k rounds

Quality control, whether it's on batches of steel, slides and frames, small parts, or fitment is the big limiting factor. A tisas could theoretically go 50k+ with spring changes, but the chances of that are pretty slim.

you don't specify any sort of failure or "catastrophic failure"

People make guns out of plastic and aluminum you know. Those guns lasting 100k rounds. while the Tisas are made of steel, a softer steel than other 1911s but you're telling me a steel framed 1911 isn't going to last 10k-15k rounds? What catastrophic failure could it have?

"looking to buy a high end 1911" anon here from previous nights.

I ended up just not buying anything. I traded in my CZoy p-09 last week at my LGS for some gun money to fund a nice 1911 but I ended up just taking the cash and running instead. I cannot seem to find a 1911 that doesn't have something about it I dislike. It's too bad Colt's new stuff sucks shit, cause otherwise they have the best aesthetics while sticking to somewhat classic features without all the gaudy shit. I don't know what I'm gonna do now, maybe I'll just buy a shit ton of 12GA for my mossy 500.

I got it for the discount on some parts (axg paid for it), then wanted to try it out, printed some targets, at first it didn't even work, because I tried it on the outdoor range, and it does not work if the world behind target is brighter than target.
Even indoors at first it felt like useless shit. But, today I shot some printout targets, and bullseye repair centers, at 10 and 15 yards. And at 15 yards, I look at the fucking B-8C, and I barely even see the holes, it's just a bit of noise in the black, I have to bring the target back to even know how I did. But the app draws a nice picture, logs results, and, even shows which order the holes in the target were made. Still not feeling very good about it. Definitely shouldn't be a paid subscription.

The light/dark? That just switches the target display. I had to ask support why my hit detection didn't work, and they suggested using some kind of backing material. So I just went indoors.

ive always considered those Glock trade-ins you see on all the big online gun retailers to just barely be one step above buying a Hi-Point in terms of the ladder of gun purchasing decisions

Going to my first IDPA match this weekend. I fully expect to take last place as I am going to use my J frame, but aside from last place, what should I expect? I'm really just going to check out the gun club that hosts it to see if its worth joining, but I've always wanted to try IDPA or USPSA.

Wilson Combat .460 Rowland mags are on clearance right now. Anyone have experience with them/are they gtg in regular 1911s?
>>
>>65006618
they're slightly different from the regular .45 mags because of the slightly longer OAL of the .460.

I wouldn't get them since they're 7 rounders when you can get 8 rounders instead

Mull it over but probably just buy a colt and warranty it if you have issues, if no issues then you have a gun that makes you happy.

Research what optic footprint your gun has, that will determine what's compatible. And absolutely stay away from those primary arms dots they are garbage, holosun is good entry level and you can get models under 200 on sale
