I still crack up with this image
oooouuuuOOOOUUOOHH
7+1 of .45 is all you need.
>>65336908I appreciate the size of the olives these things spit out, but we had the technology to fit 13 of them in the magazine for a long time.
>>65336808>HK Expert in my handYes.
>>65336910Please post non HK gun next time. Thanks. here's mine by the way.
>>65336969The single action is nice but I don't like the double action compared to my beretta. It feels big and clunky. It was also my own hubris that led me to purchasing it which has soured me still.
>>65336965you could probably talk to a dermatologist.
>>65336991ok well then you are a sad sack so i am terminating conversation.
>>65336944Wasn't me
>>65336808ABSOLUTELY BADD ASS! FUck you BCA H8RS!
Looking at my HKs and Walthers the new USP does seem to have an abnormally white laser engraving, it's almost silver where all the others are either burnt-yellowish or black. The black ones are much deeper cutMaybe it's a surface treatment difference? I know the P8 has a different finish than regular USPs but that doesn't explain youse guys white engravings. Different batch treatments producing hardness variances maybe?>>65337023Yeah a compact is probably the way to go then, because a little tiny pocket or subcompact is going to be too unpleasant to shoot for a beginner to stick with it and we don't want him to get discouraged early on>>65337038Little slides are a problem, but you can use blocks to close the gap and it still works. I just did a LCP slide a couple weeks ago and that slide was TEENY
>>65336808Because of you, there's three /hg/ threads in the catalog right now.
>>65337118stfu noguns
>>65337118/k/ is 2016 newfag central a lot of the time.
>>65336937futaba + anti-aliasing:off = sovl
>>65336808These OP's are 100x better than that poverty troon's who keeps posting anorexic shegooks with the anti-suicide range
>>65337264no
>>65337276Yes
>>65337264Truke
With how many .380 Auto pocket pistols are currently on the market, is it even worth it to get a .22 LR for carry these days?Is there any reason you would go for a .22 LR pocket pistol over a .380 Auto pocket pistol?
>>65337336I would not trust my life to the reliability of rimfire>>65337072My USP is quite old and the white engraving is all but gone. And i don't think it's wear-related. I should find someone to refresh it or repaint it
>Tisas makes a Staccato HD clone>it's $600I cannot think of a single reason I shouldn't buy this.
>>65337416>I can't think of a single reason not to buy TurkshitRoach hands typed this post
>>65337416Well for one, 2011s aren't known for their reliability. Combine that with Turk """craftsmanship""" and you've got a recipe for shit.
>>65337416>turkI'll just sell my lung to get a real one instead.
>>65336808I really want an Elite, but I can never find one. Never even seen one in a shop. I like the look of it too.
>>65337465For something like that, you're going to have to look online.
>>65337416>I cannot think of a single reason I shouldn't buy this.Really? Not even one? Also, that's not an HD clone, it's a P clone.
>everyone still pretending tisas 1911s are shit
>>65337465>>65337467I think Elites are super ugly until you put a match weight on them, then oooo are they big sexy
>>65337478>tisas 1911s are shitTisas 1911s are shit, yes
>>65337480Maybe if you talked about handguns in the handgun thread instead of your eceleb crush you wouldn't get banned.
>>65337480>draws his targetsThere's nothing wrong with hand drawn targets
>>65337480I think Burt actually fucked me because I offended him and he hasn't said a single word to me since then
>>65337480actual mental illness on display
>>65337491>Missing the pointNo I'm pretty sure >>65337486 hit all in the black.
>>65337508Kek
>>65337336Just get one in the lord's caliber (7.65mm browning)
>kimber ds warrior in 45 coming in soonI can't wait
>>65337416You're buying a Turkish clone version of a high end American gun. Rather just get a high end canik that is 100% Turkish instead
>>65337480imagine being this raped
Got myself a great deal on a USP .40 and some mags. Now I need to get a holster for it.And a lightAnd a rail for a lightAnd get it cut for an EPSAnd the EPSAnd a lot more .40God this hobby is expensive
>>65337486>shoot the paper>draw the target around the shots so it looks like they all hit
>>65337611Good luck, accessories for the USP are why I bought other pistols.
>>65337611Is it a great deal if you now have to pay for more expensive ammo in the long run?
>>65337616Good idea
>>65336762>Gen 3I'm hesitant to recommend those because the persistence of "Glock knuckle" as a result of the finger grooves and lack of "beaver tail" on bare hands.>just wear shooting glovesYou don't want to be dependent on something that might not be available in a self defense situation. The 4th and 5th Gen feel better in the hand but apparently the guide rod end needs thread locker applied.>>65337488The pain is sharp at first but eventually dulls with time. I would know.>>65337611>holster>light>EPSYou're fixing to be the only anon carrying a USP40 in the Big 26? >>65337480It's "Philosopher of Peoria" now.>>65337616Schizophrenic theories like that get filtered by shooting range videos.
Do you shoot all of your handguns? Do you have any that are solely for collection?
>>65337472Fugg, I’m retarded. It’s not a P clone either, it’s an XC clone. Durr
>>65337705I have like 40 something, you’ll end up with 5 in your rotation to shoot. Bringing more than 4 handguns to the range at a time sucks unless you got like a big rifle case >detonics combat master collection >Beretta 92 collection >PX4 collection >1911 collection
>>65336808Holster recommendations for USP45 w/ TLR1 on a GG&G rail? Only decent one i found was Midwest Tactical Solutions, their Katame light bearing IWB with the muzzle brake option. I DO plan on getting the Vanguard muzzle brake from FarrowTech when I find a barrel or get the tactical model.https://www.mwtsmn.com/products/katame-lightbearing-iwb-holster#
>>65337705The only handgun I've never shot is some 32-20 100 year old worn out Spanish piece of shit colt revolver knockoff that supposedly my great great great grandmother killed my great great great grandfather with
>>65337705I used to have a few that I never shot, ended up selling them to fund a much better handgun. I know I bought some just because they looked cool and I saw them on the X-Files (miss u sig 226)
>>65337777checkedwhat did he do
>>65336937He's phoneposting and it looks like shit on mobile.
>>65337705Yes, every month to make sure I hit all As at 7 yards without looking at the irons/optic, since I carry them all at a rotation.
>>65336982nta but I literally never use the da. It's a range toy for me so I don't care about not learning the da trigger.
>>65337611I want a USP 40 so bad
>>65337781Relatives tell me she was schizo as fuck. She probably thought he had bees in his teeth or something kek

>>65337825Where did you find a black one?
>>65337705I don't have any guns I won't shoot, and I try to bring something I haven't shot in awhile to every range trip along with the regularsI think owning a gun you refuse to shoot is rarted.>>65337825What's with the bag of tchotchkes?
>>65337848Loved those things>>65337867Gun came with a trigger lock and a attachable plate to put a sight on.
>>65337705I have one I have never fired and so I'm selling it. All the rest get shot at least once a month
>>65337616The edges wouldn't look the same. You can tell which action happened first.
>>65337705My dad got me a ruger .22lr revolver when I was a kid. Its too pretty to shoot.
>>65337642You have no idea how happy I am the 5 mags it came with were basically free, seriously HK, $45 for a near 100% polymer mag with one of the simplest shapes possible?>>65337647Considering I got the gun and 5 mags for just under 600 yeah. Besides I actually want to have something in .40 and a USP is probably one of the better if not best guns for the cartridge. >>65337671Go big or go home>>65337808Go pick up a used one, there's still a lot of police trade ins and second hand guns floating around for 6 to 7 hundred. It's not like the USP is a gun that wears out either.
>>65337878>a attachable plate to put a sight onOh cool. Bastards finally learned their lesson I see... they STILL don't have optic mounts for the dang P15
>>65337848With 20 rounds honestly you dont need to reload
LOOKIE WHAT I FOUND OH YES OH YES

>>65338007>>65338025Congrats man! Stoked for you
>>65337705I really don't shoot my 3 single action revolvers at all.The Pietta Colt black powder is cool but you spend way more time loading that shooting.The Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag, also cool, but it's just a pig, not especially accurate, slow to load/unload, and expensive ammo.The NAA mini revolver is for holing shitbulls when I need to rectum carry and only fun as a novelty.None of them are really for "collection", I just bought them when I had different tastes or opportunistically and they aren't really worth enough to bother selling.
looks like beretta m9 , its so cool
talk to me about getting a hk vp9 only because its the jap sidearm now.
>>65336808Why are shot timers so inexpensive? I wrongly assumed they would be around $20-$30.Also, I need to add an item that costs $3 to my MidwayUSA order to get free shipping. What should I get?

>>65337486>>65337486Are those the Hogue chainlink grips? How do you like them? The internet says those are more aggressive than the piranhas.
>>65338194NOT Wilson Combat’s true zero. Fucking garbage I grade plates by how low the BUIS are. So Nighthawk’s IOS and some combinations score high. Nighthawk’s IOS is super low, can swap plates in 30 seconds without removing the optic screws, advertised as perfect return to zero but I don’t have a ransom rest to test it but shift has been imperceptible to me. You can revert to a Novak rear iron in seconds. Only issue is that front cantilever optics like RMR HD or SRO cover up the IOS’s set screw so you have to remove the optic to swap plates for those optics, unless you cut a slot in the SRO’s lens housing to reach the set screw.Staccato/DPO cut has been good to me. Very wide aftermarket for plates, if properly torqued and vibra-tire’s the plate won’t come loose for a long time if ever. I’m using an Eleven 71 design plate with a 10-8 Glock suppressor rear sight for the EPS plate. Perfect combat zero with a .180 front sight. I haven’t had personal experience with DW’s CZ cut but OEM plates were very hard to come by and they expected you to fuck around with Glock rear sights and finding the right height for your gun. I just bought a Springfield AOS cut gun so I haven’t got any real experience with it yet but from reading online the issue is that if you use CLP or other solvents, since they drill the optic screw holes through the entire slide the CLP can work itself up those threads and ruin any loctite. No experience or research>Trijicon’s RMRI don’t recommend this one since it’s old and lacks any sort of recoil lugs for the plate itself. Not many options for other plates. Super tall BUIS. The staccato cut and plate system is cheaper>CHPWS cross cut My Kimber 2K11 I think uses it. Really confuses me why they used this cut when they have their own plate system that the Warrior DS uses. Newer Kimber 2K11 have this 7 hole cut that can use multiple different plates I think.
>>65338194>>65338241>Atlas Seems to be a very very robust plate and mounting system. Must be good since ATLAS uses it. Sits tall though. >cabot No idea, don’t like their guns but ACW uses it but they’re weird. >Colt cutNo idea at all. Seems very tall and they have no option for BUIS. Seems to be they’re like 15 years behind the curve. I think Nighthawk IOS cut is the best but it doesn’t have a lot of plate options (no forward iron for DPP optics for instance) and probably no possible way to mount the COA. A direct mount COA is probably one of the best options. But Colt’s new MRS-1 optic is promising and it would be nice to have that on a Colt 1911 (using a DPO or IOS cut of course), or direct mount ACRO.

>>65338110Thanks I love it but .38 is so pricey now compared to 5.7 and .22Lr/short thst its a pain to shoot.
>>65338261How's that Hi Power?
>>65338293Love it, great pistol.>>65338284G17 is the next one on the spreadsheet
>>65338253There is also the COP optic plate (Charyn Precision Optic Plate (COP)) that was designed by Charyn Precision and Eleven 71 design, Charyn Precision is a 1911/2011 custom builder that has a 10 year wait list for a gun. Pic related. The only way to get this optic plate/cut is from Mercier Pistol works which is also an exclusive custom shop but he focuses only on custom work instead of complete builds. There are some other options out there as well, infinity makes some direct mount slides where they enlarge the rear of the slide. They also don’t use a traditional internal or external extractor to get in the way of the screws. Stealth Arms platypus also has a great system too. https://twosee.us/These guys also do some crazy direct mounts and plates, their SRO direct mount is so low they have to trim the slide for the front cantilever. I looked into it and it was just as expensive as getting a NHC IOS cut either from Nighthawk or Dual Hammer (dual hammer is 100 bucks cheaper than NH but no iron sight cover plate which NH includes).

>>65338358Any time, fren
>>65338152Single action revolvers are a lot of fun, but they do tend to end up as toys to play with while watching Westerns instead of getting range time. >>65337705There are only 6 or so guns here that I regularly shoot, but I try to put at least 100 rounds through each handgun every year. The only exceptions are the MAC 11 and the Tokarev, but those right two columns are inherited and I don't take them out much except for the 22/45.

The front sight on my new P-10C Ported seems to be slightly off center I'm pretty sure. Can't tell if it's noticeable with this lighting. After a quick search this seems to be a common-ish issue with these.I'm not sure how much of an issue it could even be for actual handgun effective ranges, but it's still triggering my autism pretty hard. I already ordered the vice tool to try to correct it, but I've never done it before. Is it at least trivial to do?
>>65338977Do you have a hammer and a chopstick? Does it actually shoot point of aim? It might be adjusted properly already, but if not, tap it. Tap tap. It's going to move.
>>65338977Have you actually shot it?
>>65338982>>65339004>Does it actually shoot point of aim?>Have you actually shot it?Imma be honest, I just got it yesterday so no I haven't shot it. It just struck me as odd is all. I'll be going to the range on the weekend so I'll hold off until then. The tool won't be delivered for a couple more days anyway.
Taking my suppressor out again tomorrow after work; I'm also taking my 92fs, glock 43, and zeroing my knockoff AK103
>>65339020Surely you aren't shooting irons on a ported handgun, just adjust the dot..
I wish I got to go hunting with my dentist one last time before he passed. He's was such a cool fucking dude. Bred Irish setters for the love of the game and treated them like royalty. He was always happy to show kids from no guns households what grouse hunting was about. Even let my dad and I borrow his guns and hunt on his land. God bless him. I hope he's resting easy
>>65338977Looks fine to me especially if I compare it to the port.
>>65338167>Why are shot timers so inexpensive?Chyna, seriously China is making the basic cost of electronics that don't need RAM or other fancier parts dirt cheap.
>>65339418>>65338167What's "inexpensive" for a decent one? The ones I see all seem to be around 150. I don't mind the price but I don't want to buy some shit one either.
>>65338977If the rear sight is off too then they both might line up, negating the offset. Shoot it first, I have some that are off but it still groups fine out to 25 yards.
>>65338883I'm not seeing anything. Maybe it's some kind of eye trick?

>>65339766>What PDPs? I've been wanting a Walther after everyone's favorite eceleb did the ice and mud tests.I've pretty much owned them all full size 4", full size 4.5", compact 4", and for USPSA I was using a steel frame 4.5" with various upgrades.My steel frame is having extraction/ejection issues which was the impetus for going Glock. Now that I've used the Glock I don't even care about my polymer ones that are functioning.
Just to addon to what Burt said at the end of the last threadHandguns are fucking awesome. I'm a bit longer in the tooth than some of you and I've had many, many hobbies in my lifetime. Absolutely nothing compares to handguns. Sure /trv/ is great (when you're young) and /ck/ is probably one of the most important skills for a person to learn but all the other boards are mostly boring or some fag bullshit. There are infinite things to do and learn in handgun ownership. There are always new cartridges to try, new changes to your gun, new things to learn by taking it down to the last piece etc. Even other types of guns can't compare because I can carry my handgun nearly everywhere. Sure I love my long guns but they sleep under my bed for 360 days out of the year whereas my pistol almost never leaves my side. My point is that sometimes when you're buying your tenth handgun after being in the hobby for years and that rush just doesn't hit the same it's important to step back and realize how great of a position you're in. If someone picks up an Ultra Rare 1976 topless Dolly Parton stamp, I'm sure they'll enjoy looking at it. But that stamp is not going to blow a hole in some carjacker's frontal lobe when you're stopped at a redlight on the way home; my SP101 Match Champion that I slid onto my belt 7 minutes ago at the LGS will.

Fishing (freshwater) clears
>>65339848Yea like handguns are really cool and I like it a lot, I'm gonna go tonight. But I'm going fucking racing next weekend and I promise you I'm a lot more excited to feel my knee slider touch pavement mid corner than I am to punch holes in paper. Different strokes for different folks, shooting just has the practical life saving aspect to it.
I think before handguns become your personality you need to know how to work on a car. You don't need to know how to rebuild an engine but you should be able to check adjust valve lash, replace a timing belt, rebuild a dif, change a clutch, swap every suspension component, replace an alternator, radiator, etc. if you don't have the tools to do those jobs it's probably a better purchase than a 10th handgun
>>65339779Do you know why exactly it's having those issues?
>>65339894This is how the issue presents itselfGun goes offExtractor grabs casingSlide moves backCasing fails to ejectSlide goes forwardCasing is jammed behind new roundOne of two things is happening here1) extractor spring tension is too high2) slide does not have enough velocity to eject the roundNeither of these reasons make sense because I have an OEM spring in my extractor (replaced after the original got wore out).So if the slide doesn't have enough velocity with a fresh spring then basically this is implying factory ammo doesn't have enough power to cycle the gun which is silly.Did Walther send me a lemon extractor spring that has too much tension? Idk maybe.
>>65339912Hi 36 year old millennial
>>65339900>idk maybeThat's what it started sounding like to me. Are there aftermarket springs you can use? Or do others have the issue? Sorry, like I said I want a walther and I don't want to hear that the gun I want has issues lol.
>>65339912Where does the APX rank for strikers? Seems like the cheapest of all the big name companies.
>>65339932The aftermarket option is from ZR tactical and is an extra powered spring compared to OEM I believe. The reason for this belief is because my rate of failure increased from 1 in 100 round failing to eject to 3 in 100.

>>65339912That steiner light looks pretty good on the beretta....
>>65339925What up?>>65339937It ranks right in them middle. Not bad. Not excellent. Just good.>>65340027You have me down to a tee.>>65340050It does, doesn't it?
>>65338977Soo fix it if it bugs you. Or shoot it first so you don't ruin the zero. It's not an "issue" and it's not odd, there's no reason to nanometrically align the sights, either by the factory or personally. And you may do more harm than good (good being subjective) trying to "fix" it. If you ding the sights how's your tism going to fare then?>>65339821You can't restore it, it's laser etched into metal. Only the stuff on the plastic frame is paint, that you might be able to clean somehow or certainly lay over a new layer of crisp white, but you aren't gonna make burnt metal whiter down in those little tiny letter channels without acid or something that will harm the finish just as much. Or you could be like one of these wierdos who rubs crayon wax or paint into the slide engravings yuck>>65339912Rad. I hope that SBAL didn't do to your rail what it did to mine...
>>65340060Too bad that steiner light is discontinued.
I scratched the shit out of my PX4 doing holster draws and dry fire drills :(
>>65339912I hope you are just casually collecting cardboard and don't consider it a serious investment like the tards on /biz/
>>65340073It looks good. It is not what I'd call a good pistol light, though.>>65340078All of the cards and that old ass Charizard binder are from when I was a kid. The Meowth was from a pack my friend gave me. My wife and I found the chocolate at the story the other day and bought it was a gag. I haven't spent money on Pokemon cards in decades.

Which red dot most accurately aesthetically matches a USP
>>65340326No one makes a cut for it yet but I think a COA would be perfect, hopefully the system catches on and people start cutting slides for it. (Assuming it's possible)In general though any fully enclosed optic fits with the big blocky aesthetic of the USP
Going from left to right then top down, What is the consensus of my ranking of how well these shoot.
>>65340293>implying that's my entire stack>>65340301Pic related, me on the left
>>65340409>cylee optic on the PX4 CC
>>65340428I had a holosun on it but am trying out the cyelee to see how I like it
>>65340436I tried the Cyelee Cat Pro about two years ago on my lmaoXD and hellcat. BOTH battery trays failed, despite the blue loctite. The tray screw on the hellcat walked out, and the screw on the xd FLEW out, all within one mag.
>>65340436What fucking mag is that with a pinky extender
>>65340326
>>65340455Only at about 800rds on the chameleon so cant attest to its durability yet, but so far it has held up. >>65340461Its just the beretta +2 baseplates on a factory mag.
>>65340027It worked. The first gun I saw that I thought looked cool was Rebecca Chambers' Beretta in RE0 on the GameCube.
>>65340470Oh great is this gonna be like that Steiner light and cost more than the fun as well
>>65340071Maybe I’m in denial or just ignorant, but I don’t see how the use of laser engraving would make it impossible to restore a brighter white appearance. Might not the yellowish look be a patina that can be removed from the engraving with proper cleaning?
>>65340485You bet your boots they're collector's items now. Last one I saw was listed for $600 and that was like 8 years ago
>>65340027>doesn't include the XDI am offended.>best RE gun btw
>>65336908Well since that 7+1 * 4, I guess you do indeed need more. Four times as much apparantly.
>>65340470Optics mounted to under barrel rails go so hard.
>>65340490Because that straw yellow color is already bare metal, that is the color of heat-tempered steel, cut through the black nitride finish into white metal. The only way to make it brighter would be to remove more metal and expose white metal beneath, without burning that into straw color in the processI think the ones that are whiter are just shallower, so that is the ash color of the nitride layer or something. Just a guess. Because on my guns, the ones with very shallow engravings I can barely feel with a fingernail are white (on black nitride) and the yellow ones are very deep and catch a nail easily>>65340501That one's weird because the Rhino comes with a rail on the top for an optic in that exact location... so he got the rail-less version, and then added a plastic printed rail to put an optic where a factory rail would have been lol
>>65336934The 2011 has been out since 1993 and the para ordnance “wide body” is older.
>>65340512I just think it's a cool gollywag big ass thing. But also I kind of understand because I think the 50DS looks way better than the 60DS, but only the 60 has a top rail.
>>65340060>finally order a deag because of RE2>get a black deag to match the game>load up RE2 to hype myself up>it's chrome nowWhy did Capcom do this to me?
>>65340527only the snub and ppc rhinos look good.
>>65340527Oh I'm retarded and suck dicks then, I thought they all had rail options except the little 2-3" ones that don't even have a S E A MWhich reminds me. There was a boomer at the range the other day with a 4" Rhino, he let me shoot it, and I said "that's sweet, you can barely see the seam too." He's like "What?" "The seam. Where the barrel shroud meets the receiver." He goes "I... didn't know that was there. Now I can't stop looking at it."Gottem. :)
>>65340561I've done that to a half dozen Hyundai Genesis owners by pointing out their window is shaped like a penis.They should just make a 5" rhino with a top rail, there's plenty of room
>>65340532Nor do I want to be.

>>65340657I've been had.Bamboozled.
>find an old gun that's in damn near perfect condition >absolutely beautiful >could never bring myself to shoot and possibly add wear/damage The Autist's Dilemma: I only love older handguns but not if they're too nice to shoot
>>65340684Now you need to get a second one as a beater.
Gonna ask about this here as well. I recently got a Colt M1917 and the brass is deforming like this, bulging out a little only on one side on the upper half of the case, can't figure out why. Half moon clips are fully seated against the cylinder, ammo is Blazer FMJ. My current assumption is that the chambers are a little on the loose side, but in that case shouldn't the brass be deforming in a more uniform way with a full 360 degree bulge? Either way if it's deforming brass like this and it's fine, oh well. I just don't want it to explode on me
>>65338060the 2 revolvers are nice, but the automatic is one of the ugliest you could pick, should've picked p32 instead
>>65338864How's the P10C?
>>65340512Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for making me seethe even harder about my engraving now that I know the yellow color is not only ugly but perhaps an indicator of the protective finish having been blasted away to an unnecessary depth lolA white crayon it is…
>>65340512This was very interesting. I also wondered how to make the engravings "pop" more and thisnadded much needed clarity. Thanks
>>65340751NTA but it’s fucking great. I thought I hated all polymer strikerslop (including the VP9, despite being a bit of an HK simp) until I shot a rental P10C back-to-back with several similar models from other manufacturers. It was almost unbelievably good, and in context with the price point it blows everything else away entirely. Also I think their aesthetic is pretty mean IRL despite looking kinda retarded in pictures.
>>65340865Do you have a rehab game plan, or will you be abandoning the aesthetic quest based on burt’s knowledge drop?
>>65340857>>65340865Well nevermind my theory as it was BTFO by Walther. This P99 has yellowy laser engraving that I can't even feel with a fingernail it's so superficial, and my P99C has DEEP engravings, deeper than my yellow-brown Mk23 engravings, but they are white. Not as silvery shiny white as the P8 but not yellowso idkYou could try hitting it with alcohol, or solvent if maybe it's surface rust down in there, but don't go nuts with acetone or brake cleaner or anything serious or you may frig up your finish
>>65340893The Walther doesn’t have a HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT FINISH™, Burt. Meaningless comparison.One of the HKProoomers tells me to hit the engraved area with a brass brush, but I don’t know if I want to do that.
>>65340884>>65340893I will try to find a way and report back
I just went shooting for the first time and I was really bad at it
>>65340980I struggled to hit paper at 20 feet when I first started shooting a 9mm compact without any other pistol experience. Now I'm putting in 5 inch groups at 75 feet
>>65340980Shooting a handgun is actually very hard but it is very rewarding to learn how to shoot properly It also makes watching movies and TV very annoying since how garbage actors are at shooting
>>65340980If you came back with all your fingers, you did a good job actually
Xzibits a through fa, ca. 1996, deep and yellowb, ca. 2004, extremely shallow and yellowc, ca. 2011, average depth and gray/blackm, ca. 2016, average depth and whitee, ca. 2017, average depth and yellowf, ca. 2021, shallow and extremely whiteI see no pattern. It must be to do with surface treatments and how the lasers interact with them. For instance when I had one of my SBRs engraved they couldn't get any depth at all. They ran the laser 8 times with the same program and it was just reflected off the steel. Those engravings are mirror polished letters with zero depth>>65340904That Walther has a tennifer finish, same as Glock used to use before they cucked to environMENTALists its pretty much as good as a single finish gets. The newer one is a more standard nitride finish>>65340980That how it do. Keep doing, don't let it become a chore and you will soon be rewarded!
>>65341029>That Walther has a tennifer finishAnd you wonder why I like older versions that aren't FINAL SOLUTION
>>65340470I think I used that same gun in stalker gamma
>>65340980Post groups
>>65341029What about tennifer caused the shrieking? Is it made from baby seals, or what?
>>65341053Hey you're free to pay 2-3x as much for one. I'm not sure even I would today, even given my proclivity for fellating Carl Walther's wonderful penis>>65341195idk something about environmental impact due to harsh chemicals. Germany has been falling over itself to cuck for 80 years, finding more and more retarded ways to performatively self-castratee.g.https://www.heckler-koch.com/en/Responsibility/Environmental%20Protection/ESG%20ManagementWalther also used to manufacture their own tritium capsules which goes hard. Until 2011 anyway
>>65336808Actually much better than I expected, almost cleared all 3 tombstones, and a cunt hair off the button. The PX4 was my first attempt. I'm wondering if the Star sights are off, I've never missed to the right before.
>shot a rifle for the first time in like a year today >felt extremely gay and pointless god it feels good to be a handgunner
The vortex defender line is mostly g2g and the venom line are the crappier ones right?
>>65341482many vortex defenders were released with loose connectors where the flat battery goes, so it'll some times just randomly die due to poor connection.Vortex has a warranty at least
Anyone else go shooting today?
>>65341235The Detective Conan storytime ended today and saw this in the most recent case
>>65341482>>65341492The new ones (10 minute shutoff timer) are g2g
>>65339989Anon, please. I can't keep this up. three becomes five becomes a dozen
>>65341361I wish I could have fun with rifles like I used to, but the ammo costs are ridiculous now and they're so easy that it's hardly rewarding to hit the target. I still don't get that 2010s shit where everyone was hosing down targets with a semi auto rifle at <25 yards.
>>65341361Rifles are the bicycles of guns. Inc eyou learn how to shoot one you never really forget. Add in that all rifles are just AR variations and you can pick up and shoot all of them well now. Only shotguns and handguns can provide a challenge
>>65341514Nah just you brother manMight hit the range tomorrow if the weather ain't too shit
>>65341320Added.
>>65341514Yes>>65341320>>65341556Awww yes, first time in the collage.
What will be your /k/ope when Spain wins? >>65336908No all you really need is 5x 12g 000 buckshot out of a shorty. It's like a handgun but with more testosterone, not that you'd know what that is.
>>65341514Where is your shooting challenge target?
>>65341588Ah fuck. I need to join you guys in doing that, I post in all these threads and my range lets me shoot from the draw.
>>65341569I'm not a big soccer fan personally, but I was hoping it would have been a white country like Norway so I'm pretty checked out at this point
>>65341602This. I stopped caring when England lost.
>>65341602Spain counts as white. Whiter than Canada>>65340501Light is too big but otherwise this is cool
>>65341514I go Sunday when everyone is at church.
>>65341611Anon i hate to say it, but you have more freedom in the shittiest part of NYC than the best part of London. Every reasonable Euro hates England. Not only that, but they don't even manufacture steel, let alone weapons anymore.
>>65341569Amplify jinxGallego puto, postea arma

>>65341639I think I'm going to get some whiskey tomorrow.

All this talk of USPs has made me wonder if I should get a threaded barrel so I can put a can on ithttps://jarvis-custom.com/product/hk-usp-45-threaded-barrel/Fuck
>>65341160I didn't keep the target paper. But it felt like the bullets didn't once go to where I was aiming, I thought I had the sights lined up but I don't know what went wrong. Doesn't help I was a little shaky and didn't know if I was supposed to have both eyes opened or the non dominant eye closed or even the proper stance.
>>65341693>both eyes open >stance Don’t think of shooting to be a full body thing, you should be able to do it from left or right leg forward, them equal, leaning, etc Isosceles is the most intuitive stance and also the best. https://youtu.be/kNnlAJkHbdQhttps://youtu.be/QHsFa1iDVOwhttps://youtu.be/2wjFebS9CUE
>>65337241Election tourists are oldfags now
>>65341691You have to get the recoil assembly as well, as the stock recoil assembly is not safe to use with the additional back pressure from a suppressor
>>65341613>Whiter than Canada That's a pretty low bar these days
>>65341652>whiskeyWhat's your weapon of choice?I gotta get something to celebrate a job change, I usually go for suntory, knob creek, or basil haydens
I forgot to print these out at work and had to stop at a CVS to print em. The strange looks were worth the fun of trying to hit these properly. I’m just happy I managed to hit the button on each. I could feel myself trying to shoot way too fast on the larger targets, seeing my groups, then slowing down for the smaller ones
>>65341361Same. Haven't shot a centerfire rifle in like 8 years. Pulled a couple of dusty ass ones off the rack just last week. Can't miss. Eh.>>65341527Leave it to the chinese to fetishize weird guns lol
>>65341722Usually just evan williams now, used to get weller or buffalo trace back when you could just buy that. I kind of gave up when the bourbon boom hit and the things I like suddenly became hard to find.
>>65341772Buffalo Trace is the most mid shit that gets hyped for basically no reason. Babby's first bourbon that should be available on every bottom shelf for $19.99.
>>65341778That's what it cost. I stopped when it went up to $23. They started keeping it behind the counter and I never asked how much it was then. Weller was $12.99. People would turn their nose up at me when I recommended it to them.
>>65341556...I threw the button...
>>65341816Is that the 75 Legend? How is it?
>>65341816Nice shootin pardner
>>65341816Nice shooting, Rally
>>65341832Yeah, it ran pretty smooth, today was my first outing with it. I really like the short rail aesthetic. Sights are pretty ass tho. Def looking forward to getting more rounds downrange, but it is fun outshooting people with it compared to someone with a tricked out glock>>65341833thanks nigga>>65341841thanks nigga
I can rent a mk23 or an HK45 but I can't rent a USP tactical or expert to get a feel for the full length guide rod. Sobbing
https://lcaction.com/used-glock-g47-gen5-aimpoint-coa-package-9mm-pistol-agency-trade-in/Just absolutely freakish deals out there
>>65338253The IOS cut is basically impossible to do for most machinists, the dovetail's angle is so fucking fine and its in a trapezoid shape. They are probably using very custom jigs and an EDM to get them all exactly the same. Genuinely incredible optic cut but not feasible at all for conversions. Atlas is probably the best for that reason alone. Honestly I don't know why 2011 people are so afraid of frame mounted optics, there's already an incredible ecosystem of parts to do that.
>>65341845Does it have a particularly good trigger? Some interviews with marketing guys claimed it had Shadow internals but others claim it's more or less a regular 75 with a short rail, which is still a good thing of course.
>>65341702Thanks man I'll watch more videos. I guess I need to start dry fire practicing too
>been dry firing at home to practice both eyes open shooting>feels super easy, focus on the target across the room, sights are obvious and there's no double vision>go to the range today>trying to look down sights with both eyes open is a nightmare, feels like there's 3 sets of sights, can't get the picture clearlyIs this just a lighting issue? Is it because I was wearing eyepro? Has anyone run into this before.
>>65341915I don't understand how people struggle with this. I mean, quite literally, it has been an intuitive natural way to shoot since I picked up a gun.
>>65341878A few high end shops are now offering IOS cut and also dual hammer is now doing conversion cuts for it. They even can cut a CZ75 for it
>>65341903I think its fine, nothing super crazy (but I'm used to Berettas that I have polished up and Walthers). I have never shot a Shadow, so I can't compare it to that, but from what my understanding is as well, it has Shadow internals and no firing pin block. It does have a forged and milled frame like the original short rail, not cast like the rest of the 75s. I'll probably get a shoulder holster and carry it a little in the winter.
>>65341915I can't do it easily either. When I try I can feel my eyes desynchronizing and going different directions trying to stabilize it. But that's one of the reasons dots are superior
>>65341915You know what your eye dominance is, right? If I try indexing with my non dom eye I get all sorts of fucked up. But like Burt said, dot makes it a whole lot easier
>>65341915Most likely the target is further away than the wall at home. There may also be the issue with difference between how the sights and target are illuminated. Get the dot.
>>65341915Turn the gun around and look down the sights from the front so you are looking straight at the front sight, then pull the trigger.
>>65341915>>65341953>trying to look down sightsFocus on the target, not the sights. You can see the sights align without actually focusing on them. Just trust me bro.
>>65341973Doesn't work that way for everyone, sorry. One eye or another takes over dominance and throws the other eye into chaos. It's also a nightmare with the extremely shallow depth of field my glasses force on me in exchange for obviating ligmatismYou're lucky.
>>65342003Can you try occluding the sight on your optic next time? Both eyes are supposed to be open, and your eyes work to superimpose the dot onto the target, regardless if you see the target or not.
>>65342019That's a different thing. If it's occluded there's nothing to focus on and it's relatively easy for my brain to switch over to the other eye, even the non-dominant eye. If there's visual clutter, not so. Both eyes independently try to focus on things and binocular tracking steals focus from the other, and the miscommunication makes them both wig out. This doesn't happen with a dot because you're just looking at the target not your hands, everything exactly on the same plane with the same light transmission. Doing that with irons and shallow depth of field glasses = nothing but blur at hand-distance. No sights, nothing to aim with, or at least nothing clear, crisp and distinct. So my eyes go hunting for data and the trouble starts. It's made much worse by front sight focusing with both eyes open, the cross-eye exacerbates the effect and then the target is blurry and indistinctI've tried without glasses and it's significantly easier, still not intuitive or easy, but not difficult. But then everything is btfo from ligmatism so that's not a good trade
>>65341973I think the issue is the front sight keeps drawing my left eye focus, which really fucks me up. I need to keep them both focused on the target but it's pretty hard to force your eyes to do that.
>>65342053You're overthinking it. when you shoot you should be focusing on the target not the sights. Sights are there as like a cross reference. And realistically with a handgun if God forbid you ever NEED to shoot it, it's gonna be a dude like 6-12 yards away where you can just point and click without using them, assuming you've shot enough rounds on the weapon to have a feel for where it's going to hit
>>65342071It happens whether I think about it or not anon
>>65341527Hello Mr my yesterday~Neat
I love my vp9cc like you wouldn't believe. What an absolute treat to shoot. Easily my highest round count month in a long time. 1700 rounds so far with 1400ish of those being out of it. Might go to the range tomorrow, idk
>>65342071>You're overthinking it.This. I like shooting because it's one of the few times I can turn my brain off.
>>65342087You're gonna be good. The fact that you are actively trying to improve and learn to aim... you're already in the top 10 percent of shooters. Most "threats" are African Americans with stolen guns who don't even use the sights and shoot sideways. They've never shot a 2 liter of red soda like Harrel because EBT doesn't allow them to buy soda. Keep practicing. Go to your range or the woods and pop off 100 rounds
>>65342146>EBT doesn't allow them to buy soda. If that's the case then why are ebt people always so damn fat?
>>65341972Does this actually work?
