I gave my M9 a nosejob.
>>65243327Probably the nicer/most effective of the comps since it’s all steel.
>>65243486I wish I could get canned Asahi by me. I can get bottles but I'd imagine the canned is cheaper.
>>65243302Japs are overrated
>>65243486>>65243327Which comp? I've been looking for a use for my threaded barrel for my 92
>>65243486I am in love with the fitment and construction. It's perfect. The finish matches the frame color exactly, too.>>65243516Iron Claw by Black Beard Customs. It works on basic 92s and M9s, doesn't require a threaded barrel. Pic related here is an option you could try from Jarvis. It threads on and has a set screw under the comp that keeps it from spinning off. I used blue loctite on it and it came loose once but I'm a little iffy on throwing some red on there in case it never comes off again.
>>65243553That light lives on this now. I tried to put a Streamlight TLR-1 HP-X on here but the cylinder was hitting the activation switch when I opened it so they got swapped.
How big should my groups be at 25 yards? My groups are 6 inches wide in average.
>>65243591Doesn't matter how big your groups are, so long as they're shrinking and/or you're still happy. :)
>>65243361>>65243510Would you have preferred an LE Tuesday Edition?
>>65243553Halfway to Robocop's Auto-9
>>65243739If only. It shoots flat enough that I would be open to giving it a spicy trigger for shits and gigs if one comes around that's reliable and multi position.
>>65243788I recommend the Langdon Tactical TJIB, though I would keep the stock hammer
>>65243833I actually bought the TJIB package about a year for this but I decided it's a little too rare to change out any parts and I'm just going to keep it bone stock. I have that little bag of parts laying around and I think I might install them in my comped M9 I posted way up above.
Burt if you're reading this please cut your toenailsOr else
>>65243327It's like the opposite of a nose job. You made bigger and crooked. You turned a guinea into a kike.
Picked up a barely used PDP pro-x for 600 dollars. Life is good
>>65243788>giving it a spicy triggerI've been looking into that myself. It's interesting how the 92FS trigger bar has variable function as a disconnector, hammer cam and sear!
>>65244237There is already one
>>65244338I'm aware there's a drop in trigger cam but if you want a selector or burst reset then the design will have to be more involved.
>>65244185What a valuable post.
>Lose one of the paddle shift plastic housing only chinkshit X300 Ultra clone>Paddles and momentary on still work, it just no longer has the plastic bit on the right side.>Was considering just buying an aftermarket replacement, realize that the real X300 tailcap is just $12 more >whatthehellwhynot.jpg>thinking this will never work with my fake X300 >arrives today >fits like a glove>works perfectI paid more for the genuine OEM tailcap than I did for the fucking light itself. Tell me why again does surefire charge over $300 for a flashlight that goes on your gun?
>>65244593I mostly stick to Streamlight. I bought a real X300 and I don't get why it was so expensive. The new Streamlight shit is just as durable and puts out even more light at much further distances with their proprietary batteries that are basically higher voltage CR123s with USB-C charger ports on them. Surefire just can't fucking compete anymore. They never update anything and they never really add anything new to the conversation. They're like Trijicon in that way.
>>65244609Military contracts dictate their designs, not commercial markets.Maybe is LAPD or NYPD ask for something specific, you'll get something new.
>>65244593because they ARE overcharging you. Lights aren't that complicated. You'll never catch me laying full price for one again. It should have been really obvious that lights are a meme when harbor freight put out a TLR1 clone for 40 bucks
>Anons are retarded>Surefire gets military contract for light. >It is written in ALL military procurement contracts that military gets discount for ordering so many>Companies got wise and started overcharging military and then giving them a "discount">Companies cannot sell to civilian market for less than military contracts before discounts>Civilian market will buy it anywaysit's not a hard concept to understand
>>65244633It's bullshit price fuckery and hopefully one day someone with balls is going to grow a pair and do something about it.
>>65244641>why doesn't someone make a company that's cheaper than surefire?!>NOT YOU STREAMLIGHT
>>65244633I would imagine Streamlight is eating their fucking lunch right now in the civilian market. They're gonna do a Colt and rest on their contracts and then suddenly "oopsie poopsies". They have shown off new pistol lights multiple times that never came out. They had one in like 2017 that I was interested in. Never happened.
Which one of you is this?
>>65244641if you're seriously suggesting violence because a 200-300 dollar flashlight is some sort of anti social/civilization attack seek help. there are much worse things in this world and you look like a fucking crazy person attacking surefire of all people when 250,000 girls in Britain were systemically raped by muslims and the UK government covered it up, punished the victims, and even aided the rapists. >>65244647if you mean the XR1/2 with it's detachable rechargeable battery it did come out and then sucked since the battery didn't work
>>65244658>if you're seriously suggesting violenceI just wanted the government to bitch slap them for upping the price to rip off them and civilians because of the contract you little sperg.
>>65244658>muh British governmentsir, we live in America.
>>65244661Why? the government gets them cheap, they get a US made product that meets spec, and they maintain a longstanding relationship with a company that makes things they need
>>65244652That gun is worth the price of the optic, and I'm being generous.
bigger is better, size matters
https://www.teufelshundtactical.com/contactThinking about sending my USP to this guy for him to inspect it and let me know the condition. Anyone ever do one of his services before?
>>65244903Lemme save you some time and money *Inspects your gun* Yup, the frame is still plastic and it's still a gun.
>>65244922Well I am having a bit of an issue where every other shot the slide doesn't completely reset so my gun isn't out of battery until I tap the back. I'm hoping I just need to clean/lube it
>>65244572I don't know, seems very racist.
>>65244903Waste of money, judging by that guy’s social media posts he’s a fucking moron
>>65244955Why not use HK’s warranty service that is free and not the retard who claims that HK designed the Sig P365
>>65244986Hmm, thanks for the heads up>>65244993I bought it used, sadly. I guess I can fieldmstrip it and clean/lube and if the problem persists have my local gun smiff look at it
>>65244994>googles HK’s warranty Oh that’s fucking bullshit that it doesn’t apply to you
>>65244994You might as well at least try to contact HK. Just make sure they're not going to charge you before you send the gunAlso>HK quality
Thanks guys Between the issues with my GP100 and now my USP, I'm starting to think that I'm not made for durable, gucci firearms and I should just stick with my $300 Glawk 19
>>65243361neos was the worst gun I ever bought... m9a4 is a close third... why can't beretta do anything right?
Does anyone know how the CZ compact/P01 grips are different from the shadow2 compact grips? I see you can put shadow2 comp on the p01 but not p01 on shadow2 comp... I want some cheap wood grips...
>>65244609It’s funny how you complain about Surefire being overpriced and then praise Streammeme in the same post, as if they aren't screwing you even harder.>>65245083You will have problems with the Glocks too.
>>65245103Read the post, dumbass.
>>65245107I did
Don't mind me, just being superior to the 320 in every way and not getting people shot in the junk... Sig done goofed...
>>65245088I hated mine till I tweaked it fleeked it and bedeeked it
>>65243302There was a group of Japanese tourists at my local indoor range in the lane next to mine yesterday. Two of them were in typical team japan soccer gear while the third guy was in a tanktop, bandana around his neck and cowboy hat on his head. That guy was definitely having the most fun out here kek
Hey lubeanon, is there a v3 coom lube on the way soon? I swear you were testing one but haven't heard anything about it in a while.
>friend got a mark iv yesterday>been kinda wanting one for awhile since I've never had anything in .22>now I really want one but I wanna take it a step further and slap together a long barrel receiver and a frame with volquartsen partsI literally just got three guns a couple weeks ago and told myself no more for the rest of the year, god damn
>>65245140I have one of these. Solid pistolero
>>65244609Trijicon's worse TBQH.>>65244955>slide doesn't completely resetThe action spring might have to be replaced. My slide would stutter when I kept the trigger pulled.>>65244658Yep, grabbers want to Londonistan America.>>65245265>cowboy hat on his headYeehaw tarnation!>>65245289>v3 coom lubeHe had to suspend development because international trade is FUBAR right now IIRC.
>>65243486Usually I don't like dots on berettas but with the comp it's alright.
>>65244644kek
>>65244903My shit is like 30 years old you're fine.
My slide is milled and ready to be shipped back bros.
Fuck Trijicon! It literally has Con in the name. >mfw my chinkshit outperforms that garbage
So, what's the deal with the HK P30L? Is it just a John Wick meme gun or is the juice worth the squeeze? I hear the trigger is dog shit but beyond that it's pretty solid, and the GG reset system alleviates the trigger immensely.
>>65245525John Wick meme. If you want a hammer fired gun with a worse trigger than most striker fired guns go for it.
>>65245409hell yeah bro
Can't decide what optic to throw on the VP9 Match slide. Leaning SRO with a C&H shroud or a horrosun 507 comp. Don't care about enclosed for this one, just speed.
>>65244903He'll just tell you the USP is perfectly fine and that he's seen 6 gorillion glocks explode on training courses with special forces that he trains himself but never a USP
>>65245503Even Sig makes a better US (assembled) optic for carry than Trijicon
>>65245652Can’t wait to take it to a match later this month. >>65245686The 507 pro max should be out within the next few weeks.
>>65245772First I've heard of it. What are they bringing to the table with the pro max relative to the comp?
>>65245921Even bigger
>>652459211.18" × 0.98" window vs 1.1" × 0.87" window
>>65245762>but never a USPProbably because spec ops don't use them at all
only px4 I'd consider getting
Anyone else having issues with dots washing out in bright areas? In using a Holosun 508t which is fantastic but I’m finding I keep hitting brightness issues to where I’m gravitating towards other handguns with only irons for daytime use.
>>65245762>>65246196The USP is still the best handgun ever made, followed closely by the 1911 and the Sig 226
>>65246270Dots on handguns just make no sense to me. Never have. Irons always work and I don't need or want the bulk. I'm in my late 30s so maybe I'll change my tune in 20 years when my eyes get worse but I've never had an issue hitting what I need to hit with irons.
>>65246279I have a leaning suspicion it’s just what I’m most used to, kind of like revolver boomers. That being said, dots are fantastic. Fast. I just keep hitting brightness issues where I’m constantly having to adjust the brightness. Haven’t found a happy medium yet. Either it’s too dim for outdoors or too bright for low-light/indoors. Trivial to adjust, but in practice annoying. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced and/or sorted this out
>>65246279Dots are much faster and more precise once you learn how to use them
>>65246339Makes no improvement for me at all. I started shooting handguns with busted M9s in the Marine Corps getting expert badges multiple times 20 years ago. Dots are a meme and they don't belong on handguns.
>>65246347Expert doesn’t mean shit
>>65246348Sounds like something a pizza box would say.
>>65246347>Makes no improvement for me at allShoot at a pace resembling speed outside of 20 yards and you'll see the difference big man
>>65246273Are there any must-have upgrades for the USP you recommend?
>>65246358
>>652463641-If ironically...sod off, she's perfect2-If unironically...light rail adapter, jet funnel mags if you feel really fancy, and tritium sights. I don't like to mess with my gun's triggers.
Dots on handguns in 2020 onwards is just the optics on ARs debate in the 2000s, which is to say its fudds deathgripping onto irons for purely emotional reasons
>>65246270You might be someone who actually benefits from a red dot with auto-adjusting brightness.
>>65246291Brighter indoors is better than washed out outdoors. Just aim the sun at the bad guy
>>65245101There is a reddit thread about fitting p01 grips on a shadow 2 compact. Looks like it will require a slight amount of dremel work to line the grips screw holes up, and even then the grip frame contours are not quite the same between the two models so the grip panels will stick out a tiny bit on the backstrap. If you don't want to bother with that and you're dead set on wood grips, then grips4u sells shadow 2 compact wood grips for $69. Don't think anyone else makes wood grips for it yet.
Can anyone confirm if Underwood "Extreme Defender" runs in the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp?I feel like I saw somewhere that it jams all the time but I can't remember which gun that was talking about.
>>65246279>>65246347>no picturesCurious how it's every single time.
>>65246273The USP45 is niche, USP40 for women and USP9 lacks practical application in the 21st Century.>>65246279Have you ever found that the rear sights compromise your target focus?
>>65246481
>>65246367I accept your concession
>>65246394I’ll have to figure out what models those might be. For 95% of use, yeah. Nvg would need to be able to manually turn that down.>>65246425Bloom is terrible though. Can be worked around but it’s always a roller coaster up and down on the brightness
>>65246575Bloom sucks, not seeing your irons also sucks.
>>65246558>I accept your concessionNTA but you sound like a redditor
>>65246516That's a sexy gun and mag
>>65246575Holosun 507C X3 and RMR HD have forward facing light sensors, the RMR HD’s has a laser light sensor that detects the brightness of the target rather than the brightness at the optic
>>65246601It is the result of my Ultimate Conceal Carry Battle Pistol project. I converted my single stack Wilson Combat .45 into a double stack .45. >.45 ACP (as God intended), I’ll do testing with Double Tap’s duplex load (165 gr HP + 40 gr disk, two projectiles) if it ever comes back in stock>with just 1 spare mag I have the same capacity as I had with 2 spare single stack mags. With some follower tweaks or a different tube design I could carry 14 in the gun, 16 in reserve with just two mags. >rail for Surefire X300.
>>65246518Don't make me post it, anon.
>>65243302Postan time. I fucking hope DefenderCo will sell me it's godamn rail across the Atlantic.
On an intellectual level, I know pistol dots are an improvement over irons. However, they look gay and ruin the lines of the gun so I'm not going to use them.
>>65246662>magazine extension It's an 8/10 now, omedetou
>>65246604Bless anon. I will check those out. I’ll have to either sell or find another host for the 508t if those work out.
>>65246627>he's madhe's mad

>>65246745Maybe hitting the bad guy is the takeaway here
>>65246662How do I make my lettering pop like that
>>65245077>machining marksAll guns are made by machinesWhy would evidence of that bother you
Is gold guard better than regular mossy oak clp at removing rust?
>>65246821I never understood that. I wish modern gunmakers would leave them. Gives a gun character.
>>65246738Come to think of it, you probably don't even own a USP so I wont post it because I wouldn't want the actual USP owners (especially the ones in .45) becoming collateral
>>65246481>proprietary rail-5 desuin the year of our lord 2026, proprietary anything is completely unacceptable
>>65246908Proprietary rail is technically better than no rail.
Because anything less would be uncivilized
>>65246821You'll notice there are no machining marks on the flats. This means it's unintentional, which makes it lazy slop. Yet HK uses a premium price model. You're paying many much more moneys for a gun with inferior finishing to a PSA Dagger.
>>65246451I have pictures all throughout this thread. You don't know which ones they are because we are all anon you dumb asshole.>>65246558go back
Found this Single Action Army from 1882 for sale. $1399. Good deal? No more info/pics unfortunately.
>>65247041I doubly accept your concession
>>65247054Id buy a repro if you want to shoot. No real opinion on museum piece pricing.
>>65247246I wish my local range let us draw from the holster but too many clowns ruined it for everyone else
Is subsonic 10mm retarded to carry? 45 bullet weight, 9mm capacity with less blast and recoil of spicy 10
>>65247255Why not just shoot .40? It's already 950-1000-1050 FPS>subsonic 10mmDoesn't have the projectile design to expand to .45 ACP levels, subsonic .45 can expand to .9 - 1.0 depending on ammo (~.7 minimum). >9mm capacityit doesn't have the same capacity as 9mm, why not just carry a 10mm converted to.40 (benefits of a larger frame and recoil assembly to shoot .40) Why not just get a high capacity .45 ACP? .45 ACP has a longer historical lineage, it's a descendant of the .44 Colt Walker revolver (fired a .45 lead ball through a .44 barrel). Americans have been carrying .45 caliber side arms for 180 years.
>>65247255>subsonic 10mmIt's called .40...
>>65247246Well done, you're combat accurate.>>65247249IKTF
>>65247347>>65247249In my experience it seems if you're a regular who doesn't seem like a total retard, they'll let shit like no rapid fire and no drawing from holster go if the range is pretty empty that day.
>Tfw live in an area that only has to deal with the occasional group of Chinese tourists so people can draw from the holster and use FRTs at indoor public ranges as long as you're competent. The indoor ranges near me are Whiter than most outdoor ranges in the deep south, so I can't complain. You also can just go innawoods and shoot whatever you want, which is easy to do if you have an IQ over 100
My suppressor arrives tomorrow, I'm stoked.
>>65247396Nice! Which one did you buy?
>>65247410I got the Rugged Obsidian .45, I'm going to do the form tomorrow and I leave town Friday for a while so it gets time to process.

do you guys really need suppressors? wants the point?
>>65247464this is what they call a stupid question.
>>65247460I thought about that one for my 9mms, I haven't looked much into suppressors in that caliber (yet)
>>65247464They are fun and very useful if you want to shoot outdoors and not get complaints.

Bought a gun out of state last Saturday. Gun shop said they'd ship to a local ffl. Just called them today and the fag on the phone said they haven't shipped it yet. Said some bulls hit about how they're still moving in. Guy seemed confused about the fact that it hasn't been shipped yet. Useless fucking faggot hope he NDs himself

>>65247054The barrel’s been cut, that was originally a 7.5” gun. What’s it chambered in? Are there any higher resolution pictures of the stocks to be able to tell if it has a cartouche near the bottom?
>>65247451Because his bag of oranges didn't get so mushy mushy? How tenuous
>>65246279Skill issue. Learn to shoot.
>>65247255Are you planning to use the 300gr bullets designed for subsonic 400 legend or something? Other than those, heaviest it gets is 200, and they fly at supersonic speeds in 10mm. I'm not aware of anything in-between.
>>65247464Yeah I need them because they make gun shoot quieter.
>>65246713The harbor freight light already ruins the lines. This also had better be a straight dust cover.>>65246962That ugly flared magwell is uncivilized.

>>65247579Learn to reading comprehesion.
>>65247464>wants the point?They help prevent hearing loss.
>>65247564Yeah, I figured something was up with the barrel. It's chambered in 45LC. Those are the highest quality photos unfortunatelyhttps://adelbridge.com/product/colt-single-action-army-45lc-4/
>>65247704I accept your concession
>>65244652What the fuck is happening with this frame/slide/recoil spring? is it broken or a G19?
>>65247819It’s a G34 so it’s a long slide then there is a longer compensator attached to the end.
>>65247815Lack of self awareness

>>65247819stippled frame, aftermarket slide aftermarket barrel with aftermarket comp on it.its a trashfire thats worth 300. its possible he put more than 1300 in it but nobody wants that shit.
So...my 1911 is not a piece of shit that fails to feed, it was me all along, me being a lefty!I push the slide release up with my trigger hand.
>the only "officers" length 2011 grip that isn't made out of plastic is 1000 fat ones from infinityWelp, looks like my build is on hiatus until I can save up for that.
>>65247864There is a kind of famous several month debacle where some guy kept sending his gun back to the shop (Les Baer) because of premature slide stop engagement with even Les Baer Senior personally test firing the gun himself at one point, it wasn’t until another forum user had driven out to test fire the guy’s gun to tell him he was pushing the slide stop up.
A 100 year old gun design should not be as expensive as it is.
I am aware compensated 9mms are gay. What about .45?
>>65247867What’s your plan? I was in the same boat and also couldn’t get the 150 dollar infinity magazine to feed in my gun so I settled on the STI 120mm mags that have been flawless. Miller Precision makes a shorter aluminum grip module meant for 120mm mags, which you can cut a relief into the bottom to fit the 113mm Prodigy compact mag or MBX defender mag. Similar how my build is the 126mm mag grip module with a relief cut for the 120mm mag to sit flush >>65247870They’re 300 bucks for the cheapest, and Tisas as much as I hate that it’s made in Turkey is a pretty decent gun.
>>65247877Who cares what brokies think comp what you want.
>>65247877
>>65247867Oh and Guncrafter Industries also makes a metal officer length grip for their X3 officers, I bet you can call them ask to buy it separately but IMO it's not worth it, just go 120mm so you can use the wider aftermarket
>>65245686SRO and don't bother with the shroud. I got it and it's stupid. You have plenty of backups if you break it.
>>65246233Yeah, I got the compact before this came out, but this is the one to get.
>>65247870Why not? "Archaic" designs are almost always more expensive.
>>65247877It gets better the faster bullet is going, so no.
If I have a 92 and a PX4, which Beretta handgun should I get next? I'm leaning towards an 8045. I have no interest in the .25 or .32 guns
>>6524800784BB or 84FS. Actually, get two 84FSs for the Matrix Trinity vibes.
>>65248007Toblerone APX
>>65248007I think you should get a Vektor SP1 Sport.

There goes my plan.>Miller grip relief cut Interesting, I was looking at the old stock Fowler grips with one of those type of cuts but I missed my chance on that. Still was unsure as I wanted an officer grip as I have tons of compact and full size pistols.>>65247889>Guncrafter Thanks for this knowledge, I had no idea they made a smaller grip size. I'll see if they are willing to sell them. Still might be futile if what you say about the magazines is true.
>>65248013Which APX was the good one again?
Today I tried a CZ P10, it fits like a glove.
>>65248046> Welp that's unfortunate as I think they're the only one making that size 45 magazine. There goes my plan.I might have fucked up, or the prodigy compact grip I was using makes the mag sit too low, or the infinity follower and mag is optimized for a ramped barrel while I’m using a standard .45 ACP feed ramp.Right now using a prodigy or STI follower in the infinity mag makes it hold 9 rounds but I can’t get the last round to feed. It might also be that I had to swap the base pad to a STI style one instead of the infinity style. Maybe using Taran tactical +1 or other extension might help, also spring tuning. I tried tuning an Atlas extra power spring but I could not bend the thing to change the follower angle, that’s great in most circumstances but not here. Having only 9 rounds kind of makes the exercise pointless in making a double stack IMO MBX used to make 113mm .45 mags in their defender series (huge base pad to make the 120mm) for the relieved grips, like Cosaint .45 2011s with the commander grip. They stopped making them. I can’t find any. The “relief” cut between the cheely commander grip and the one I was talking about are very different. The cheelys ones are actually cut to accept a 113mm MBX mag which would sit flush at 120mm with a huge base pad. The relief cut on the miller you’d only have to take off half as much material.
>>65248073>CZI think they're on discount for June.
>>65248067The other one, A1
>>65248073I absolutely love mine especially since I bought it about a year and a half ago when PSA sold them for $270 with four mags and a soft range bag. Unbeatable for that price in any metric. I assume they were offloading the models with no optic cut to make room for the optic ready models but I hate dots on pistols so I'm happy with what I got.
>>65248077>>65248046Prodigy grip w/ infinity mag, Fowler grip with STI 120mm, MJD grip with relief cut w/ STI 120mm, and a cheely standard length grip
>>65248093
>>65248067All of them except the carry model.
>>65248100Not that much difference in size with the compact grip IMO
>>65248112120mm in the compact grip, 113mm in the Fowler MBX relief cut
>>65248120Would help to have the image
>>65248077Jeez yeah that's a lot of experimenting for a round or two more than a 1911. >>65248093>>65248100>>65248112>>65248123Thanks for the images this really helps. I'll probably just get a 120mm grip unless guncrafter cuts me a great deal.
>>65248155Also, STI 120mm .45 mags are in short supply. Dawson Precision is the only source for them and it's old stock they some how still have. I may pick a few more up but I have like 7-8 of the 120mms. The benefits of using the 120mms is that you can easily find basepads for 126mm mags which are more common (Checkmate are now making them, MBX has them) is that you can get basepads that make them sit flush with 120mm grips as the extended spare mag. https://dawsonprecision.com/staccato-sti-compact-120mm-45acp-10rd-magazine/The now out of production MBX 120mm mags somehow had 13 rounds while STI could only fit 10/11 (the mag fits 11 if you push really hard, the mag spring isn't that strong so you can compress it to 11 rounds). The 126mm MBX mags fit 14 rounds while STI 126mm mags fit 11/12. I've spent over a year on my Ultimate Conceal Carry Battle Pistol project and too much money. These are the two guns that have come out of it.The 5 inch one has the 120mm Miller Precision grip module w/ infinity base pad since it looks cool. I have an issue with the miller precision grip, other wise it's an top tier grip module, is that it makes my trigger pull too light/sub 2 pounds. As that the 120mm size uses a proprietary hammer spring length (same length as Prodigy compact grip, not the same as a 1911 officer) where the heaviest I could get is 19 pounds and is just too short and crisp of the pull. No matter how much I bend the sear spring I can't raise the trigger pull since the hammer spring is so light. If I would do it again, I would use the 126mm Miller Precision grip and just relief cut it for the 120mm flush fit mag so I could use more common hammer spring sizes and weights.The miller precision trigger bow is great where it combines over travel stop and a return spring. It's overtravel stop acts a trigger return spring so you can have a very positive reset built into the trigger.
>>65246367I just never get to post this.
>>65246364Extendo mag release. I didn't do the whole match trigger just the trigger itself for the overtravel stop. That shit is necessary, there's like a half inch of overtravel with the stock trigger.
>>65248196Also. A blem staccato grip module is like 90 bucks
>>65246662Get that rubber shit off you don't need that.
>>65246780Nah if he just had one more round it would have been game over.
>>65247547Rip.
>>65248341It's a practice girl gun, always gotta have rubber
nah always wear a rubberdont want to be come a martyr
>>65248377My condoms expired and I didn't buy more.
If you could fuse two handguns together, which ones and why?
>>65248483Either the Beretta 92 locking block style or the PX4 rotating barrel and a 2011 frame meaning a 1911 trigger and huge modularity in the different grip modules
>>65248155>>65248196also, found an Infinity with the compact carry grip module in .45https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1183620322shits not compact or carry
>>65248007Phrobis
>>65248483USP with any modern optics ready gun with a standard rail.
>>65248762Is that the 9211?
>>65248797Imagine if the VP9 didn’t suck
>>65248912I don't like this grip texture. Those serrations or whatever you want to call them do fuck all and just feel weird to the touch.
>>65248951Yeah but the slide kicks ass. It was so easy to come up with a successor to the USP and what we ended up getting was fucking dogshit. I want the old HK back.
>>65248968>It was so easy to come up with a successor to the USPThat's fair and it really is disappointing. Their newer pistols have plenty of individual features that I like but none of them have the whole package.
>>65248196I'm not going to lie everything you mentioned about the miller grip and trigger sound good to me, provided it's just barely sub 2 pounds and not 1 pound or less. What ignition parts are you using in that one?
>>65249005Harrison Custom Design Extreme Service with the True Radius https://www.harrisoncustom.com/hd-120-ss-extreme-service-ignition-set>The True Radius sear differs from my standard sear in that the sear nose primary contact surface is ground (and then polished) in a radius true with the sear pin hole, hence True Radius. Standard sears have the primary contact surface ground in a flat plane.>In operation, the TR sear keeps even contact with the hammer hooks, so the hammer keeps neutral engagement with the sear. Life span is expected to increase, the part works well even in frames that have less than ideal hammer & sear pin spacing and parallelism and is much easier for the novice user to fit and get good trigger pull results.Mainspring was some Wilson Combat one I had lying around. I think I should be using this one https://egwguns.com/sear-spring-1911-colthttps://www.harrisoncustom.com/hd-126-sear-springThe hammer spring was 17 or 19, both are giving me ~1.9-2.0 lb pound pulls. It also appears I have purchased the last 120mm Miller Precision "standard" Grip that allows the grip safety since they no longer allow you to select 120mm anymore. https://usampf.com/product/standard-billet-grip-module/
>>65249005>>65249053Oh wait I’m retarded about the over travel return spring thing, I must of hallucinated that. It does act as a spring but it’s facing the wrong way
>>65247246Very good. Always room to tighten groups up, but the draw and splits are great and every shot would ruin someone's day.Sub-1sec with a fullsize gun from full concealment IWB is fantastic.
>>65248007the 8000 series is not very good. the trigger is even worse than the PX4 and they are fuck heavy
>>65248341I kinda commit on all my guns. Large hands and all. It's comfy.>>65248377Nigga what.
Getting my hi power cut for an acro, then will get the gun cerakoted Belgian jigsaw camo.
>>65249965>he busts nuts in his practice girlGood luck paying practice child support
>>65244652>Whyd you pull out?
>>65250243lol I used to work at a place where I was the only white guy and every single one of them lost half of their pay checks immediately due to child support. Every payday they would look at it and wince.
>>65250012I couldn't even conjure up the image of a hi power with an ACRO in my head and had to go looking. I don't hate it. I thought I would, but I don't.
>>65248196I would say things have gone well.
>>65250911I’m very happy with how it turned out. I want something better for the grip module, thinner, but aluminum I fear would make the 2011 recoil more harsh. I can bear it on the 5 inch with a tungsten guide rod but on my shorter 4 inch it’ll probably hurt. Steel grips are then too heavy for carry IMO, I can’t find anyone selling titanium grip modules Maybe a MJD polymer grip (more rigid and strong versus other types) and a DIY grip reduction with a big file.
We need a pistol optic where you can set the brightness with a dial, rather than buttons, so it looks less out of place on an old gun.
>>65250966Maybe a phoenix trinity grip module like my NH PREDATOR but that exact style is out of production since no one liked themPerfect morning sun lighting, being unemployed is great
>>65250976Go frame mount with 30mm scope rings and use a tube dot
>>65251000I really want to go Han Solo mode, except using a good pistol, rather than a broomhandle Mauser.

What specific kind of polymer is used for handgun frames? Every brand has their own name for it, but is there a certain grade or designation of polymer for firearms applications?
>>65251737nice snoot
>>65251763Nylons IIRC
Gentlemen, I must tell you that I'm very happy. Today I reloaded ammo for the first time. Hope I don't blow up my 1911.
>>65251961Don't rapid fire it, a squib will sound and feel different.t have had to knock out 2 squibs from a revolver
i like my ppk
New 2011 mag alert https://cobramag.com/ds9-126mm-17rd/Cobra mag is ran by Virgil Tripp, one of the original designers of the 2011 and is on the Patent for it. I have no idea what it does better than Duramag, Checkmate, MecGar, or staccato but it has a cool follower
>>65251737I finally found out who buys those godawful USPs elites.
>>65251737>OshiteGive it to me straight and objectively, do they still do this?
>>65252454He carries a taurus daily. He doesn't care if they do that.
>>65252454What the fuck? Is it drifting in a "catch up" sort of way or am I seeing shit?
>>65252483You're seeing shit. His hands just aren't synchronized because he's holding a gun in one and a phone in the other
>>65252390more snakes than any other mag
>>65251763I think they all use "reinforced nylon", which is important to note is not the same thing as fiber reinforced nylon. That begs the question, what do they use to reinforce the nylon if not glass fibers, but I don't know the answer to that.
>>65252390>"Your honor, I'd like the record to show that the defendant specifically used the Venomous Cobra High Capacity Magazine in his Nighthawk Child Predator firearm."
3rd chode is just out of frame
>>65252553bring back the 26
>>65252514That helps to narrow it down a little bit, thanks.
>>65251763Nylon 66 iirc
>>65252430>USP Elite>godawfulWell fuck you too frog.

What is your favorite finish on a handgun and why?
>>65252688QPQ or stainless.
