Anyone have experience with the Platypus? I went to range recently a rented a nice cross section of guns (Glock 19, 1911 in 45, p320) and really liked the Platypus. Spent a million hours fucking around with their customizer, its fun. Is it good to go?
Reposting this from revolver generalThoughts on an older Interarms import Rossi Model 94? I can’t find hardly any info about them online. They were apparently imported in the mid-late 1980s. 4” barrel with a fell underlug, 6 shot .38 special with wood grips. Basically a K frame with a full underlug. It’s in near mint shape with a tiny bit of finish wear on the barrel but no wear or fouling in the barrel or cylinder and zero wear on the extractor star or the arm that rotates it. Local seller wants $280 and for a near mint cheap K frame ish from the golden age of Brazilian made S&W knockoffs it just seems like it’d be a fun little shooter. I sold all my revolvers with less than a 5” barrel years ago but I’ve been toying with the idea of another 4” K frame and then this thing pops up. For $280 what’s there to lose?

I would like to hear from a learned sigger, what is the difference between these two springs.
>>65045334It clearly shows one is for the 365X and the other is for the 365XL
>>65045334There is no difference between those springs. Sig has many parts with multiple SKUs. 8900677 and 2700199-R are the same part and can be used interchangeably.
>>65045346Confusingly, neither would fit 365X, I guess by X they really mean "this one is for xmacro".>>65045355Thanks, that makes sense.
Is the Deaglefriend from the last thread still here? How's the .50 treating you? My baby here is the .44 and it's still one of my prized possessions. My local gun shop has two Mk. VIIs for cheap that I'm debating picking up.
>>65045371I've never seen .50AE for sale but every big box store has .44mag and .44 special
/hg/ have you ever bought a purse just because you thought it would be a good fit with your gun?
I have a question but I'm waiting for this thread.
What is the craziest most redonkulously long extendo I can get for this bad boy?
>>65045404Stop it, you’re gonna summon the faggot with the purse.

>>65045450You didn't say anything about "good" or "usable" or even "kind of okay sometimes".
>>65045458But I did say long
>>65045473I wonder what the highest capacity stick mag there is
>buy Modlite for my rifle, it flickers like a motherfucker and I cannot fix it, Modlite tells me to pound sand because they know their shit sucks and they scammed me>buy LED ACOG, the factory battery dies in the first week, new battery fixed the issue thankfully but why the fuck did that happen>buy shartfire Xqueerhundred, it's starting to go dim and flicker, fresh batteries didn't fix the issue, emailed customer service todayThis is all in the past 2 years. Has US manufacturing just gone to total shit, or is my house on an indian burial ground?
I just ordered an LCP Max off PSA for $200. It's gonna be my summer CCW and backup with my Model 69 during jacket months. What's a good pocket holster brand?

>>65045302>>65045529I'd get a real 2011.
>>65045311>getting a 45 when you already have a 17Trade that shit in for a Glock 19
Man I want more Glock 26 mags
>>65045302The platypus seems good to go.
>>65045573Nice, I want more 1911s someday
>>65045573Nice, love that big chunky trigger on the gold cup.
>>65045505The US is a burial ground

>>65045619Twitchy thumbs
>>65045619how blud make 9mm look like a .45
>>65045619Why is your right thumb pointing off into a random direction instead of pointing forwards?
clenzoil smells so fucking good, is there any clp that it doesn’t mog?
>>65045619What
>>65045505US manufacturing has been garbage for a good while longer than two years. China is unironically a manufacturing powerhouse and it's not just "cheap Chinese crap". They've also mastered high tech and high value manufacturing with quality controls that legacy American brands can only dream of. It's simply too expensive to manufacture anything well here. When you buy American you pay a super massive premium to feel good about your patriotism while getting an inferior product. It's masturbatory frankly.
>>65045563But my ergonomics, bro
>>65045619This person doesn't deserve to handle a Beretta
>>65045619Don't listen to the haters. Here's what you need to do. Push extra hard with your support thumb. See those shots that land too far left? That won't happen if your support thumb pushes the frame to the right even harder. Your dominant thumb is pointing off to the left, and it's subconsciously making you pull shots in that direction. Instead, wrap your dominant thumb around your support thumb so it has extra help pushing the frame to the right. It's perfectly fine to reposition your support thumb between shots, but don't rush it. Take your time to repositioning your hands between shots. As you get better that will happen so quickly that it'll become imperceptible.
>>65045436MBX makes 28 rd 2011 mags, unfortunately I don't think they have the insanely long extensions that they make for pcc Glock mags. Also they're MBX prices.A question for you, what do you think the heaviest rmsc optic is?

Is it normal for micro 9's to heat up quickly? I'd assume so since there's not much surface to dissipate heat, right? I've had my CC9 for about a month and that's probably my only complaint I've been able to find with it, when I'm done shooting it I either have to let it and cool down before reholstering or just throw it in my bag and swap to carrying my other compact instead
>>65045737Solid piece, not sure why people dunk on it on this board
>>65045846DON'T MIND IF I DO
>>65045786Yes, given their relative size and how much you shoot through it, it's gonna get hot fast
>>65045846'ick on 'ech
>>65045737I wish it took glock mags
Ok. If I did my bare minimum forum searching right, I could buy a Wolf guide rod and 24lb recoil spring for my M&P 45 1.0 4.5", and it will run 45 Super with no issues. ... And I could swap a 10mm barrel to use with that Wolf rod/spring and that would also be fine?
>>65045619Will you please hold on to the fucking gun? That video is borderline unbelievable, I'm beginning to think I'm just falling for elaborate bait.
>>65045734Maybe this? First one I thought of. Zerotech HALO
>>65045539How is it fake?
>TFW that I want more ammo, not gunsThe only handguns I want at this point are a Glock 20, CZ-75, Colt Competition, and Colt Python
>>65045711Listen to this anon, the other haters I'm sure at least two of them are nogunzs
>>65045734>>65046021Their webzone says it weighs 2.75 ounces lol that's more than twice as much as an RMR. My Cyelee Cat (rmsc) weighs like 0.8 ounces in comparison
>>65046021Thats too damn big
>>65045619This is elite. Post the target
>>65046029I don’t really stockpile handgun ammo like I do for rifles I just sit on a small pile of dots and have some ball for practice.
>>65045619your grip is so fucking bad. you have to be trolling right?
In case shits hits the fan, what should I stockpile the most? JHP or FMJ?
>>65046044
>>65046029>Glock 2010mm is gay>CZ-75 It's just like all the other wonder nines, you'll get bored of it in like 500 rounds>Colt Competition Do you already have a 1911? If so, why do you want another? >Colt Python Revolvers are gay There, fixed it. Buy ammo.
>>65046096I have a 1911 classic but I want a neat stainless 1911
>>65045505Unfortunately 'made in America' doesn't have the same pedigree it used to. Although with the amount of issues you're having, I wouldn't be surprised if you had been cursed by some bubba the last time you slapped his hand away when he was reaching for your spent brass.
>>65045514Vedder pocket holster.
>>65045619
How concealable is a P99? It seems to be similar in size to a Glock 19
>>65046123>>65045514Some say Sticky.
>>65046146See >>65045404
>>65046087Do you anticipate your targets to be armored? If not, JHP. FMJ is generally a good deal though
>>65046087If you shoot .45, 230gr ball is all you need.
>>65046146It's not gonna be as easy as a modern subcompact or mico 9 but it's a hell of a lot easier than what our fathers carried. Take from that what you will
>>65046148If you think you'd prefer a sticky over a Vedder than go for it bud
>>65046087I would rather have twice as much ball stockpiled than fewer, but more effective JHP.
Best IWB holsters for Sig P365/365X that fit near flush to the end of the barrel? Not looking for the extra length that also fits a Sig 365XL.
They got two new sauces at McDoinks but I don't have the calories to spend on it anymore fffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFF
>>65046255The purple one is mid. The other one is aight. Certainly no WcDonald's sauce though, that's for sure.
>>65046087At the end of the day, in a World of Chaos, who gives a shitShoot a motherfucker dead
>>65046087To quote a boomerism in the previous thread,>They all fall to ball.I don't know how bad of a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI scenario you're envisioning, but I figure that if I'm in a situation where I am genuinely concerned with having enough ammo to shoot people/animals then I doubt there's gonna be anyone who'll crawl up my ass using FMJ/having overpenetration instead of using JHP. Plus in a normal market cheapo reliable FMJ can be like half the price of quality hollowpoints, making it far more cost effective to stockpile and fire in bulk.
>>65046325If your shtf scenario involves constant shootouts, you're on a timer anyway.Having a good stockpile is good, but you also need to have a good stockpile of water, methods to purify water, food, medicine, etc. Learn to use radios, orient yourself in the woods, find water sources, learn basic trauma care, and make at least a basic plan with those close to you. Anyone envisioning themselves in a solo survival situation where the only thing they need to worry about are firefights is juvenile.
>>65046145what happened to her?
>>65046255Burt post you photo shoot setup
>>65046370There is no setup
>>65046374At least post the table with the cyan top
>>65046374What is this ad? You probably shouldn't be buying takeout if you're that broke anyway.
>>65046021>>65046035Thanks burt ol pal, that's perfect, the most obese little optic I've seen

What is your dream handgun AND dream pizza?
>>65046418Genuinely doesn't matter so long as you're within your legal right to be concealing it. Also straight paranoia, if it was at your sides she would just think she brushed against something in your pocket if she even realized.
>>65046425Automag III chambered in .30 carbine, as well as a Alfredo sauce and olive oil pepperoni pizza with garlic crust.

Has anyone here gotten good at revolver tricks like twirling it around in your finger? Any recommendations on learning?

>>65045619It's great to see homosexuals in this thread.
>>65045619Is this a tripfag or something?
>>65046532No, just an attention whore who knows he can get easy (yous) just by posting
>>65046532A trip in all but actually having trip, it’s pastebin/glocktroon. He’s from arg and gay
Got some new grips for my 1911-22.
>>65046539how do you know that he's from arg?
>>65046558Why does it look edible?
>>65046579He admitted it, he’s one of the furries that MUST make the OPs and fights people for it
>>65046586Combination of whatever topcoat/wood finish is on the grips and reflection from my dining room lights. They do have a noticeable gloss in hand that I think my phone camera oversells. Still, I really like how it contrasts with the matte black on of the gun.Also got my CMP turk clone, unfortunately too busy this weekend to for some range time. Like a fucking idiot I put a small scratch by the hammer pin while I was changing the stock springs to Wilson Combat springs.
>>65046558Looks very nice, Anon. Well done
>>65046649looks like the wood has already chipped in the center.
>>65046539That is not fagbin. He only owns one gun which isn't a Beretta and literally never shoots, except once he got pictures shooting at an outdoor range, not indoors.
>>65046682It’s fagbin, for whatever reason he went and rented or borrowed a beretta to make a follow up video to this of him shooting terribly
As cringe as this shooting is, at least he IS actually shooting so that puts him above a lot of gun owners
>>65046743His support hand coming off the gun every shot, even in this slow fire, nullifies anything he can say about shooting a handgun. His support hand is not doing the thing. He’s burt forbid, “dogshit”.
>>65045737AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH GET IT OFF THE SCREEN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Should I get an Arcus 94, cz75 pre b, or something else?
>>65045302If you are going to buy it, you have to buy the orange and teal one
I hate pistols... don't get me wrong. I have a few and like to shoot them when I can. But for fucks sake there's an opinion for everything. I've got my first red dot mounted on a micro-compact and I'm looking for an answer as to what range I should zero it at. I'm used to shitty irons on old 1911s, P-38s and irons on Beretta 92's and random other pistols. Going to take an enhanced CCW course soon but want to get used to this thing. 10 yards, 15, 25? WTF zero do you people use for CCW? Just give me an answer and I'll zero it at that. 9mm 3.1" barrel. I'm about to take this fucking thing off and just use irons.
>>65047120Just zero at 25. You'll be good for most pistol use. I can run an MPBR calq if you want to get you a perfect zero, but for a quick answer, go 25 yards.
>>65047252Planning on for defensive ammo using Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot 124gr, but i do have a lot of 115gr training ammo plus boxes of 115 and some 147gr rounds. 124gr is the overal sweet spot for my purposes. .Really I think I'm looking for baseline to start with with a red dot. Maybe I'm overthinking it but red dots and optic zeros on my AR's made a lot more sense to me.
>>6504729825 yards. Got it. There's my answer. Thank you. Next ranger day I'll get it done. I'm thinking this will make things future proof for me because I'm also planning on picking up a Beretta M9A4 and will throw a dot on it as well. I'm moving into the 21st century.
What do you guys carry for pocket pistol? Also is P32 the only one that can be used with a pocket clip?
>>65045619>>65046723this is exactly why its impossible to give shooting advice over the internet.without the video nobody would know this dudes letting go of the gun and readjusting his grip each shot.
>>65046558>>65046649Are those from that Finnish guy?
>>65047323>>65047301Looking at some trajectory charts, if you zero for 2 inches high at 25 yards, you'll be good out to just under 100 yards and won't be more than 3 inches off of your POA. The trajectory is a little different between 115, 124, and 147 grain, and you can assume that your max range will be a little lower with that short barrel, but if zeroed 2 inches high at 25 you should be good out to ranged well past what you will ever need. It'll be about 3 inches high at 50 and 3 low at 100, but will never be more than 3 inches up or down until you go past 100 yards. (Prob closer to 80 yards with a short barrel)
>>65047375This is clicking in my brain. I'm screenshotting this for future reference. Seriously, thank you. This is what I have needed for a couple of weeks now. Thank you.
>>65047404No prob, Anon. MPBR is my fetish so it's fun to do.
>>65046614he’s a furry?
he was a furry, glocktranny?
Is it fuddlore that if you use 9mm r.i.p rounds from g2 research in self defense that a prosecutor will hang you in court off the acronym of it?
>>65047686No. I’ve shot 10 people in self defense with just those rounds and never had a problem
>>65047710
The recoil spring in my old pocket pistol had been busted, so I replaced it with a furniture spring. It's noticeably weaker and has less tension, but the pistol cycles dummy rounds so smoothly and easily, I almost can't believe it.I'm afraid of testing with live rounds and risk causing a damage.How low quality can you go with recoil springs? Is there a way to tell beforehand if a recoil spring is going to be able to handle the blowback?
