Going as cheap as I can, I can reload target ammo with coated lead bullets for about 60 cpr. That's still, not great. I'm really understanding why .357 is so much more popular
>>65072755hey Burt my m9a1 only has 1 slot in the rail, does that matter much if im just gonna slap a Streamlight or surefire on it?
I'm looking for a shooting 1911. Is Sprongfield the best for the money? I'm thinking RIA is too janky, Colt is overpriced, and the fancy ones are out of my budget.
You guys are autistic as fuck. Funny threads though.
Just bought a 9mm USP Compact today :3
>>65073147Wow, I got in early on this thread. Very satisfying!
>>65073183>only has 1 slot in the rail, does that matterDoes the light have 2 screws? No? Then why would it matter? Use your brain.
>>65073183why do you ask him by name if you're already replying to him?
>>65073183I own one myself, all lights that attach via rail will work with no issue.I used to keep my TLR-7 on it until I got my Glock 19
>>65073307Thats great man, I'm waiting for my USP 40 to ship.I've had my USP45 for years and I love that gun so much but the USP 40 is the only .40 I ever really wanted as my go to .40 gun, even though I have a police trade in M&P 40.
>>65073333It’s the polite way to speak.

>>65073618If you live in California you should just go all in on revolvers, .40 S&W guns, .45 ACP and 1911sYou'll never get to enjoy a full 15-17 rounds of 9mm anyway
>>65073641>You'll never get to enjoy a full 15-17 rounds of 9mm anywayI believe insider anon on the Duncan v. Bonta matter.
>>65073656>I believe insider anon on the Duncan v. Bonta matter.Pls elaborate

I just like the USP series, bros
>>65073779Let's see yours.
>>65073753No I just want my guns to ship out
>>65073753Is it chocolate?
Bros I love big bore pistols now. What big bore pistols do you recommend to the new enthusiast?
>>65073807Model 69 if you get to pick it up and look at it first
>>65073807I personally really like the Desert Eagle and it’s caliber swapping system, it’s a few seconds of swapping barrels, bolts, and magazines but they handle all the mainstream magnum calibers quite well. I also have an Anaconda and Gp100, both are very fun.
>>65073807.45 ACP
>>65073814>5 shot mid-framed .44mag as a first magnumYeah that’s dumb
>>65073826He said big bore, not arthritic wrists bore.
>>65073831Recoil wise it’s not bad, it’s not terribly expensive, and it’s one of the lightest steel framed guns
>>65073807Glock 41
>>65073610Omg, gun owners really do fantasize about shooting people.
>>65073840>It’s not bad recoil-wise>It’s one of the lightest steel framed .44s!You get to pick one, not both.
>>65073831It was my first and I can strongarm 240 grain XTPs with the OP gun. The recoil isn't unbearable, like >>65073840I am now reloading full power 305 grain rounds to spite you
>>65073850It’s still heavy enough and with large rubber hogue grips I can shoot it without any pain or difficulty
>>65073814>model 69nice. Looks like a classic.>>65073820I'm a huge fan of the deagle, it's what got me into this. I'm considering buying a .44 mag barrel for it but the price suggests I may as well just buy a .44 revolver.>>65073826>>65073847I should clarify I'm after magnum big bores
>>65073284Springfield is good, Ruger exists, and I suggest a Kimber from TROY ALABAMA, not from Yorkers NY. There is always used guns. Since you’re shooting it anyway. I got this Colt for 880 after taxes and it runs like a raped ape
>>65073784One moment bru, let me fire up the AI image generator
>>65073870Springfield is good for the price* and for their 1911s have a decent warranty/repair process I am not sure if they still glue in the ejector
>>65073284I like my TisasThe mags were junk so i replaced them with tripp research cobra mags and now it runs great :)
>>65073863>I'm considering buying a .44 mag barrel for it but the price suggests I may as well just buy a .44 revolver.Whoa where are all the $400 .44 magnums at?

>>65073907I can't un-think that and now I'm gonna giggle and fuck up while I'm trying to shoot. I hate you
>>65073307Welcome, here's a HRT too :3c
>>65073890they still make them but you will also need a bolt and magazine.
>>65073618Glock Gen 6 should be coming out with a cali compliant version this year
>>65073820What do you think of the ergonomics of the Anaconda? I have a Python that just barely fits my hand and I see the Anaconda has a wider trigger shoe
>>65073618>I'm picking one up as soon as I get my CCW cardyou need to buy and qualify with the gun before youre allowed to put it on your ccw thoughbeit
>>65073462>he doesn't know
>>65073995please stay on topic.
>>65074028>he doesn’t know what he doesn’t knowwhat do i need to know burt
>>65073307USPC is a coolass gun. I'm looking at one of those just because it is compatible with P30 magazines and I got dozens of them.
>>650734623-5 business months
>>650734623 dog years, based on the business time of a golden retriever
>>65074051it did take my 518 about 3 weeks
>>65074020I had to get bigger wrap around grips since the stock ones were a little small, and the exposed backstrap started to get painful after 100ish .44 magnum loads.If you didn’t know, the Anaconda and Python share grips, there is no difference in size.
>>65074073Nice. I have the pachmayr presentation grips with the enclosed backstrap on my Python. Which grips are you using on your Anaconda?
>>65074027No, you need the CCW card to buy and start the DROS, else you pay $25 to take the Firearms Safety Certificate test (it expires every 5 years). THEN you need to pay an approved DOJ vendor to qualify you for that gun, THEN you pay your county sheriff/local PD $35 or so to modify your existing CCW license.
>>65074167ive never done it that way i guess. what county are you in? i'm assuming you already have a gun for the CCW anyways?... and ccw permits expire every two years why are you that adamant about avoiding the safety cert?
>>65074212Alameda (but not through the sheriff).>i'm assuming you already have a gun for the CCW anyways?Yes, and it will be all SAs now because I'm going to fall for a 4chang meme again.>why are you that adamant about avoiding the safety cert?Because I'm literally getting the license this week. I wish the 'ech spammer started earlier so I wouldn't have to do a modification.
>>65074237understandable. just seems sort of odd to worry about a test that works for 5 years and costs 25 bucks vs a test that costs 10x and only lasts for 2 years.who or how are you getting the permit if not through the sheriff btw? i'm in butte county i think we have one of the more forgiving systems to get ours. really gay they upped the renewal hours to 8, half the class is shilling for insurance or range time or some other bullshit because there really isn't that much to talk about in the classroom.
>>65074269local PD. Place I'm getting my 'ech from isn't open weekends, so I might as well do the license pickup and DROS paperwork in one day.
I want a 9mm 1911 for target shooting. Would a RIA be a good starting point to modify into a target gun?>Why not 45?Because 9mm is cheaper and there is less recoil.
>>65074337Just lift and reload.
>>65074337>and there is less recoil.I've seen spooky skeletons handle .45 way better than how HRThands handles 9mm
>>650743379mm 1911 are awesome to shoot, carrying 1911s is a fashion statement and way suboptimal anyways so you might as well get the best shooting caliber. I would get one with rear adjustable target sights and high viz front. Dan Wesson PM9 is probably the ideal, but Tisas and Springfield have similar models. Avoid cerakote like the plague.
>>65074337Do you mean like actual target shooting competition? If so, you're probably going to want a gun with a collet bushing you can pay a boomer to accurize.
>>65074357Oh don't worry. It is not being used for anything other than poking holes in paper at 50 and 25 yards at a certain range in Northern Ohio. Hopeully one day I'll do good enough to get a funny tab.
>>65074398Ye, I want to do bullseye shooting.
>>65074337Are you a woman?
>>65074404Then I would suggest you get something like a Gold Cup National Match.
>>65073284Get the Italian one they don't sell in America.
Anyone have any ideas for good custom grip companies? I want to essentially do the same as the Strike Witches pistol here, but with a different unit emblem and for a Hi-Power (specifically a MAC L9A1)So it will be something inlaid into the wood and built up more than this plasticIt would have to be a company that can combine different parts like that and not just do engraved wood only
Deadass gripped the roach case colored hi power
>>65074465Is Olt doing alright with QC after being bought by CZ?
>>65074537Browne LSgrips Herrett could make the wood and cut it for your medallion, I love Herrett grips
>>65074596Not really. Depends what you mean. The quality of their slides and frames never really dropped. Superb slide to frame fit and finishing. Colt slide stop pins are good.They fuck up just about everything else. Lazily fit barrels, poorly tuned extractors, bad thumb safeties, loose grip safeties with laughably loose tolerances around the tangs. bad sears and disconnectors. bad spring selections. You have to look at a Colt as a project gun. Contrary to what people say Colt 1911s have been ass out of the box since at least the early 80s. I would not buy a GCNM unless you are in love with blueing for some reason, they are really not good enough for bullseye shooting. Buy a Tisas and handfit a Kart/Barsto/Nowlin/Nighthawk/Remsport match barrel and bushing on it, get a drop in ignition set from anywhere.
>>65073307Welcome>>65073779Based
I've lost plenty of defense cartridges over the years but it still bums me out every time it happens. Must be the guntism
>>65074599All of these and all the ones I am finding so far seem to only do engraving directly into the wood, or just put something in silver or goldWould there be somewhere that could make something actually colorful and put it in there? Looks like most gun medallions are just uncolored metalOr would I have to get it made by itself and then somehow put into wood grips (I don’t even know what type of shop would do that)
>>65074081The same actually, it’s really the only way to get the proper look, and my friend’s dad has some fatty Pachmayr grips on his Redhawk I love that also influenced my decision.
>>65074874You mean you lost then by failing to hit you targets?
>>65074874>>65074964yeah I'm not buying a glock, lest I be mistaken for this supple-skinned faggot
>>65074964>You mean you lost then by failing to hit you targets?>>65074972>yeah I'm not buying a glock, lest I be mistaken for this supple-skinned faggotThat's not even him in that clip.
>>65074972Oh that's not pastebin, he was stealing some other guy's vids and posting them while pretending to react like it was his own vids. His cope now is that he "fooled" us.
is it gay to wear gloves when training with your pistol because you don’t want to develop calluses? if anything it feels like a hack
>>65074980I wear gloves when my guns get too hot/when I use suppressors.
>>65074985oh yeah it helps with that too, just not my main reasoning. it actually helps a lot because after going through a few 20 rounders mixed with direct sunlight the barrel starts to retain a lot of heat.
>>65074980>because you don’t want to develop calluses?Unless you are shooting full power 44 Rem Mag, or greater, yes, that is very gay.
>>65074980It is gay, but it's okay to be gay
>>65075038I shoot decent volume 9mm, and i don’t want hard calluses all over my hands. im not gay i just don’t like how they look or feel. i got a little worried with all the dry fire that high pressure contact points would callus but im not putting on gloves on and off all day when i get free time for dry fire.
>>65075049>I shoot decent volume 9mm, and i don’t want hard calluses all over my hands.What gun are you shooting? I can't imagine wearing gloves unless it was freezing cold outside. Wearing gloves drastically decreases the contact area, and friction between the gun and your hands. When you use your hands for manual tasks they get a little beat up, that's life. Have you ever seen the hands of someone that does manual labor day-in, day-out? Part of getting better at things is literally and metaphorically building up a little bit of a callous on yourself.
>>65075065vp9, usually 200 rounds every 5-7 days but sometimes my range buddy and i shoot 300 each if we don’t have time constraints. >have you seen working hands yeah but i don’t want hands like that, i was kinda worried i’d still get calluses through the gloves but so far no problem spots besides my dominant hand’s middle finger.
>>65075049gayer than sucking dick
>>65075073faggot
>>65074893Try asking the Finnish guy gungrips.org. He made P220 anon's Kanagawa Wave grips and does customs, most of his stuff is wood but he did make these Beretta anniversary grips with an embedded silver medallion.Be warned though this might be pricey and you'll pay tariffs on top.
>>65075082alright>>65075077i disagree but alright
>>65074893>inb4 Rick and MortyI thought it was the most colorful example of his work.For sourcing a medal by itself search for custom pins/buttons/challenge coins and see who does something small enough for gun grips. There's a billion stores on etsy alone who'll make stuff like that. Pin and challenge coin makers are probably your best bet for the Noble Witches logo to get the borders on the top and bottom of the circle properly shaped and not just as one big circle. Or 3D print it get it painted if you don't care about it being metal.
>>65074337>>65074341>Just lift and reload.There is no amount of lifting that makes .45 ACP have the same, or less recoil than a 9mm. Reloading 9mm is always cheaper than reloading .45 ACP. >>65074357>Avoid cerakote like the plague.True and based advice. >>65074404>Ye, I want to do bullseye shooting.Then you may well want a .45 ACP 1911. You should look into all the rules and classifications for Bullseye shooting before deciding on a purchase.
>>65075160>There is no amount of lifting that makes .45 ACP have the same, or less recoil than a 9mmNGMI
>>65075166Anon, no matter how much you lift, 9mm will always feel softer.
>>65075172>he doesn't lift until they feel the sameStay weak, small boy.
>>65075173The math aint mathin
>shoot 50 rounds>clean my gunI just like cleaning 'em
>>65075160I was just going to do service pistol matches. Not sure what that would change in the rules. But why .45 for target shooting?

It's just a fancy paint and not really a good firearm finish anyway. Paint is a cheap cope finish for most firearms.

>>65075470What about 10mm and .40?I've heard a lot of people saying that .40 is far more snappier than .45.

>>65075585>No .40 come on now, I'll admit that I wouldn't mind a compact because thats what Spain has
>>65075596I wouldn't ever own a .40. I'm probably going to get either a mk23 or a P2000sk 9mm V3 for my next HK pistol.
>>65075600a 40 gun is great to have when 9mm goes on a shortage
>>65075604True, though I'm 38 and thus have had enough time to stockpile 9mm and .45. I've been through enough shortages that I learned my lesson in 2008 with Obama.
>>65075600Mk23 is sick do it
>>65075613I'm 10 years younger than you and I kind of had to just stick to whatever is availableI just think that most .40 guns suck but the USP 40 is the best of the bunch
>>65075623I agree with that assessment. Its an overbuilt pistol, it handles .40 and .45 beautifully, no argument there.>>65075615Hell yeah
>>65075628Yeah I had the pleasure to shoot a USP40 rental years ago and fell in love with the gunI bought the USP45 however but now I decided that with everything kind of going to shit I might as well just snag a USP 40 now
>>65075628>>65075635Oh and the only other .40 guns I shot were the M&P40 and Glock 22, and I have the M&P 40 and it is just meh at bestI did put some money into restoration and gave it trijicon sights but it is just meh
>>65075642I shot a P2000 in .40 back in like 2007, it was okay. It did make the decision for me to choose the USP45c (first handgun) and I've never looked back.

>>65075530Some of that reputation is likely because a significant number of people shooting 45 acp are using a 1911 with some heft…
>>6507380744 mag model 29 is the classic answer, but I’d say it’s worth considering a 460 xvr Taurus or if you can swing it an x frame…. You can shoot 45LC from them for light stuff, and splurge on some 454 casull or of course 460 xvr for real kaboom..

>>65075801Personally I don’t like gloves with big bore stuff. I don’t think they help all that much and it messes up the grip feel…. Just shoot more till you kill the nerves.

>>65075819Depends if the panic is caused by politics or the supply side. During Sandy Hook .40 was still on the shelves for the most point while during Covid every common caliber was harder to find.

>>65075837Not here. I haven’t seen anything as bad as sandy hook. 5.7 was the only round I saw on the shelves. Fucking scalpers were buying everything else.

>>65075852.17 HMR and .40 were pretty much the only things on the shelves besides overpriced specialty rounds like snake/rat shot or obscure hunting calibers in my area during that time.

>>65075871Way too many people shoot .40 here. I have a shitload of .40 brass from picking it up on accident, and I try not to pick it up. I was thinking about getting one just to start reloading it.
>>65075874Yep! I have 3 of those, 1 S, 1 HL and 2 VIR IIs. Some -4s and a first Gen 7.
>>65075882Nice I have one too it’s still going strong.
>>65075530>>65075804And that most .40 guns are converted 9mm guns, rather than guns designed from the ground up for .40

>>65076054It's prone to that, but only because muscle strength grows far faster than ligament strength in general. If you build up over the course of months/years and aren't an unga bunga retard about it then it's fine.

>>65076054Doing this exercise would put strain on your tendons, not your ligaments, and it would actually be strengthening your tendons not weakening them, unless you overdo it and try jumping into a grip strength trainer you aren't ready for without any progression. I have the #1 gripper and it is not even that much, 140lbs of grip strength should be the BASELINE for any man, nowhere even close to causing permanent damage.
Anti 9mm contrarians are just proving themselves to be deranged noshoots with ego problems.
If you aren't using 12 gauge for home defense you're a fucking retard.
>say something is heavier or produces more force >regardless of context, someone will say 'lift more' why do 4chan users feel the need to establish dominance in the pettiest ways? are you a dog with ptsd?
>>65076394I love 9mm but I am willing to branch out if necessary.
>>65076394I like revolvers and moon clips are gay>>65076406Honestly, yeah. I got a Mossy 500 hanging on the wall next to my bed. Thinking about replacing it with a 590S though for optics and mini shells.
>>65076412Other calibers are fun to shoot too. You should get a .45 range toy at least. >>65076416>Thinking about replacing it with a 590SI was looking at a 590 as well but I'm really tempted by the Beretta A300s.
>>65076412Get a .45 range toy at least>>65076416I'm looking at getting a 590 but I think I might end up going for an A300 instead.

>>65076462>>65076436Personally, I hate beretta, I'd just go with a mossberg 940 if I wanted a semi-auto and if I wanted something expensive I'd get a Benelli.

>>65076505I’ve always found shotguns to be boring.Maybe it’s because I always shoot long barreled hunting shotguns with birdshot rather than a shorter tactical one with person loads
>>65076516My issue with shotguns is that most ranges have annoying ass restrictions on ammoLike fuck you I want to shoot cheap birdshot from walmart, not my expensive federal LE 00 buck or my russian slugs

Yesterday i fingerfucked an S&W 686 in .500 MAG.Also bought 20 cartridges. Soon i am going to buy the gun. Any tips or ideas?20 pieces costed me 45 euros.
>>65076566Which European country do you live in?I wasn't aware the 686 came in anything other than .357
>>65076575Austria. The 686 comes also in .500 MAG and .460Wanted the .460 to shoot casull aswell, but bought the wrong ammo, and decided to stay at the .500
>>65076578Oh nice! I'm friends with the best baker in Austria and have friends in the Austrian military who have guns. They're always telling me to buy bigger bore stuff hahaI am lucky enough to have a friend that reloads all my expensive/obscure shit but I don't know how popular reloading is in Austria
>>65076588I dont know that either. But probably nit too uncommon. Saw lots of reloading stuff in the shop yesterday. We have here alot of hunters so mixing your own stuff for your hunting style tends to be somewhat common. Especially if you like here shoot at 80p yards or more and dont wamt to search 3 hours where that fucker went off after you tagged him. Also after a while he convinced me into an .308 HK (or steyr arms). Sinde i was playing with the idea of getting a 5.56 but i told him i prefer bigger rounds juuuuust in case. I almost got weak fingerfucking the kriss vector, but it was in .22 lr.
>>65076093>closeThat don't look closed to me, sonny boy. >tries it for the first time this calendar yearDamn I used to be able to rep this thing. I was working on the 1.5, had it to about where this one is now. Not even sure who's arguing what, someone mentioned case pressure but 5.56 and .308 are the same in that regard so this whole thing seems retarded.
>>65076552Sorry that you're dumb
>>65076617Interesting that Fat McNoshoots only took a picture of the bottom of his fat palm, and not his whole hand squeezing the CoC (he's an expert at squeezing cock).
>>65075160>>65075400I looked into the rules from the CMP. The 9mm 1911 wouldn't qualify for 1911 matches, but would work for Service Pistol matches. This works out for me since I want a funny tab anyhow. However I think I am just going to use my M9 or M9A1 and turn it into a target gun. Roddy Toyota accurizes 92s by putting a threaded barrel on with a spacer on the threading to take up the slop between the slide and barrel. Was also going to get pic related from Beret. Might also get an LTT trigger upgrade.
>>65076633It says what number the gripper is on the bottom but it's really hard to get the camera to focus on that. If he says it's a number 1 I believe him, it's not some massive feat of strength.
>>65076647The fact he used being able to squeeze a CoC as a feat of strength told me everything.
>>65076653>able to squeeze a CoCLmao
>>65076629>>65076617>>tries it for the first time this calendar yearYah, I can't even remember the last time I tried that #1. I can still close it for reps, just not while holding still for a phone picture. >Sorry that you're dumb>>65076633>Fat McNoshootsYou lost. Get over it. Everyone is calling you dumb, but you.

>>65076680>k-kys y-y-yourselffat and mad LMAO
Almost skipped 'dry fire' last evening because of how tired I was. Does being spent actually improve pistol training or should reps be done in the morning, before physical and mental drain throughout the day?
>>65076686>still mad about .45 ACP having more recoil than 9mmimagine being this petty and dense.
>>65076689why is dry fire in quotes?
>>65076682>no shake awake>small window>meanwhile vortex, horosun, and even osight offers more for the same price range.
>>65076703>osightI can vouch for the Osight SE. I got one for free and was expecting it to suck, but it's great. Multiple reticles, nice window with clear glass, and it's never lost zero. I don't see why these haven't gained much traction.
>>65076703Man I don’t care what you buy. I just don’t like shake awake. I’ve had times where I looked down the sight and there was no dot because I didn’t shake it enough so I had to rattle the gun to get it to turn on. I’d rather just leave it on and buy more batteries.
>>65076696It doesn't, you just need to lift more.
>>65076712I would have gotten the horosun and osight but vortex's warranty made me buy another defender ccw
>>65076771Holosun'sQC is slipping, if Im going to be supply chain cucked I want a White man somewhere in the process.
>>65076771How good is the warranty? Ive never had to send an optic in under warranty before, but I have broken an olight and they replaced it no questions asked, so I'm assuming their optic warranties are good as well. Pretty sure it had a "transferable lifetime warranty."
>>65076782source or is it just anecdotal generalizations?
>>65076805Anecdotal, Im not a Holosun QA manager with actual numbers. Last couple of years it seems like QC has slipped, maybe a reaction to tariffs?
>>65076697Its shitbin, he's retarded and just asking banal random questions he knows the answers to for attention.
Where are the EPS cores? damn it horosun, forget QC and ship them.
>>65076697Because "dry fire' sounds like the hazard of wildfire during the dry season. "Drill practice" would be the superior terminology
>>65076898how people take you serious I will never know
>>65076905No one does, that's the joke.
>>65076799Vortex has a lifetime guarantee, and as long as your item is legit, vortex will take it for warranty repair/replacement no questions asked. When they upgraded their defender line (14h to 10 minute shutoff; less flicker) I got an older model. I contacted them and replaced it with the refreshed model at no cost. Now I have three defender ccws>osight now has lifetime warrantyI returned a 3 year old olight and they replaced it free of charge. I did not know osight also has lifetime warranty.

>>65075914That's not a real gun and if it is, then you don't actually own it. Plus you're transgender and a racial minority oh and you're gay! You couldn't even afford the ammo for that.

45 GAP was good, it was essentially 45 ACP but shorter and with more pressure. It failed, and it shows if 45 ACP was a new cartridge instead of historical one, it would fail too.30S and 41 were models we got to replace 45 GAP. They are now discontinued also.
>>65077084>45 GAP was good, it was essentially 45 ACP but shorter and with more pressure.It also used a 17/22 width frame IIRC, which was also part of the selling point. A .45 that could replace .40 in a .40 sized package (gun).
>>65077122Did it need to single stack or were they able to magic a double stack 45 into a 17/22 frame?
>>65077128>magic a double stack 45 into a 17/22 frameThe 17/22 frame held 10 rounds and the 19/23 held 8. 26/27 held 6.
>>65076898Holy shit shut the fuck up.
Today I learn a harsh truth...most of gun owners don't like guns like I do and barely know anything about guns.
