Like 90s stuff? Ultradots like I said (Japan), Bushnell Holo (USA), Tasco Pro Point (Japan, Korea, later chiner and Taiwan, all but the chiner ones are good with Japan being the most expensive), C-More Railway (USA) obviously but they are expensiver as hell unless you get ebay copies for $35 (have two, work great for .22, but chyna), Aimpoint 2000 (Sweden) through the Comp C (they made a BLUE one), Meprolight M21 (klezmer music starts playing) but that's pretty bulky because it's meant for an AR, I'm pretty sure the pre-Shield Firepoint/Tasco Optima 2000/JPoint (UK) was around in the mid or early 90s but that doesn't really fit the bulky aesthetic because that form factor is industry wide now and they still make it

And there were a hundred little shitty airgun things made by Tasco and such

P-07/09 are hammer fired. I've heard some people had the pin break way earlier and some have never even considered it to be an issue at 20k rounds so I guess it's a coin toss whether your special snowflake individual chews it out or not.

New challenge would be actually hitting the target with our edcs at his engagement range. But his target was moving so we should double the distance to simulate the difficulty.

Big props to him for actually shooting at the attacker, rendering aid to a victim, but it would have been better that he killed the shooter

>>65397660
The roll pin breaking is because depending on CZ tolerances it’s a wear item and is very not good for it to break. It appears some guns chew through the roll pin way faster than others.

Okay, but if a hundred thousand people on youtube are asking a literal who with 30k subscribers how to replace their firing pin retainer pin, it's probably not just "an /hg/ thing."
That you haven't heard of it is especially weird, it's like not hearing about "the nation of France" or not hearing about "Microsoft". I'm not saying you're full of shit, but if you're actually dedicated enough to have 40k rounds through a single gun, you will probably have encountered such a thing, let alone heard of it.
>>
>>65397704
Bug. What is happening is the slide stop being jostled off the notch. It may fail to pick up the top round off the magazine. There is no mechanism that releases the slide when a magazine is inserted.

Cleaning the gun does not un-chew the roll pin. It is a wear item. Realistically it should probably be replaced every 5k rounds or so but I got lazy and forgot. There's also the solid pin from Cajun Gunworks but I'm afraid to install that because if the pin isn't wearing then what is?

auto forwarding is a malfunction, not a feature, because it can often induce a bigger malfunction (either forwarding without stripping a round, or not having enough spring power to fully seat the round and go into battery)

if you've ever wondered what this little bit on the M&P 2.0 is, it's to prevent auto-forwarding (which the M&P 1.0's were notorious for)

try to not slam home the magazine so hard, or alternatively don't run the magazine along the front of the mag well where it can potentially contact the slide stop

>>65397726

I had that issue early on with my P226, the slide release is at the rear rather than the decocker, if I grip too high it my thumb will inadvertently hold the slide release down and it won't lock back at the last round. User error.

I got a p30 that consistenly closes/racks when I insert a magazine. is there a part should I look to replace to prevent this?
>>
>>65397655
since no one's explained what's actually happening, IIRC CZ uses extremely cheap and soft metal for one of the roll pins in the P01 and Shadow series which also happens to be impacted by the firing pin, so after thousands of rounds the firing pin will progressively eat away at this roll pin
>>65397704
if it does it reliably, it's a feature since it shaves like a quarter of a second off reloads in a match

Is the Walther ppk the smallest centerfire pistol that is available with a threaded barrel?

>>65397597
I think the Recluse has night sights and a two inch barrel.

>>65397610
Also this.
>>
>>65397740
You could try to replace the slide stop spring (IIRC, those HKs use a U-shaped bent wire spring, rather than a coil one) to hold the slide stop down with a bit more force. Most HKs have oversprung recoil springs from the factory, though, so I don't think you'll run into the issue of auto-forwarding the slide without the gun going into battery unless you have a really worn out RSA.
>>
>>65397747
Seems you can buy the tritium sights for it after market since it has the same slots as the pug, neat thanks. (100 dollars tho so pricey)
>>
>>65397747
>Is the Walther ppk the smallest centerfire pistol that is available with a threaded barrel?
sig p238 is smaller
>>
>>65397740
>I got a p30 that consistenly closes/racks when I insert a magazine. is there a part should I look to replace to prevent this?
change how you insert the mag if you dont want it to happen.
autoforwarding can be done with most pistols if you insert the mag in a certain way with an amount of force. some designs are easier to do it than others.
>>
>>65397748
>You could try to replace the slide stop spring (IIRC, those HKs use a U-shaped bent wire spring, rather than a coil one) to hold the slide stop down with a bit more force
this would do nothing to fix autoforwarding. like you said a stronger spring keeps the slidestop down.
his issue is that its not staying up. which is normal since the only thing holding the slide locked back is friction and springtension.
a sharp jolt from mag insertion is enough to overcome that friction and close the slide.
>>
>>65397747
Maybe you can find a .25 ACP Bobcat with a threaded barrel?
>>
>>65397776
Ah, you're right. Maybe he could bend the spring a bit to give it more tension the other way, I suppose. The best fix is definitely to just adjust your reload technique to stop inducing it.
>>
My competition Glock is having FTF issues. It’s a g47 with a radian ramjet and some other doodads that I doubt would matter, and I’m shooting 124nato ball I assume it’s the comp not allowing for proper barrel tilt and not my left thumb pushing too hard on the slide. I’m gonna play around with different ammo, maybe fuck around with a different return spring, anything else I missed?
>>
>>65397786
>Maybe he could bend the spring a bit to give it more tension the other way
the spring tension keeping it locked isnt the slidestop spring. its the recoil spring. you dont bend that unless you want to fuck up your gun.
>>
>>65397790
Have you tried it without the comp?
>>
>>65397790
did it come with a recoilspring? im seeing raidian sells $80 recoil springs which is insane. maybe you need that. or the oem one is worn out. cause it wanst meant for comp use and the extra mass is wearing it out faster.

I still have this issue with my 226. It's the only pistol I consistently have the issue with. I've had to try to adapt to thumb over knuckle grip instead of thumb along slide grip. Still, the 226 is my favorite pistola so it is what it is.

There’s simply no excuse for a $600+ gun to have that many sharp edges/corners on contact points for your grip. It’s ridiculous that some of the clones and loosely inspired knockoffs like the makarov or p64 radom are nicer to hold than they are.

This is excusable on the antiques from like the 60’s and before, it is not excusable on the modern productions from walther themselves or even the more recent S&W/Interarms ones.

If they were closer to an Sig p232 in ergos and did some fucking smoothing of edges on the grip and tang I would buy one immediately.

I get it, but I'm a humble man with a family so if I want to check out a new gun I typically sell one. Over the past 12 years I've been able to pick up something like 1-2 guns a month on average while earning $60k and paying for a family. Just for competition I've been able to shoot many different guns in local IDPA matches including Seecamp 32, Keltec P32, Beretta 92x, HK USP, HKvp9, HK p2000, Block 23/19/17/41/21/43x, Walther P99as, PDP with comp, Q4, FNX45t, Fn 509, 509c, 545, Wilson combat 1911 (doublestack) Colts 1911s, Tisas, Taurus, and much more. I'd like to keep the guns I buy but the grass always looks greener and I have a hard time telling myself to stop looking at guns I haven't shot.

ASSuming you are the same Anon who just posted the PPK/s, you chose to get the one with the METAL BACKSTRAP instead of a proper PPK with a plastic wraparound grip as God intended, it hardly seems fair to criticize it in that regard. The original /s's weren't beveled or anything either, they just had grips that extended a fraction of an inch further back to lessen the transition

What does /k/ think of this in 2026? I really liked it back in 2014, but the draw to sell it for almost twice the price got to me and I prefer glocks due to the muh-gucci phase. Now I like all of my guns stock, so this is appealing to me now.

The recoil spring is 20#, which is ridiculously strong. I was getting at least a stoppage every box. Hollow points ran fine for the most part, I did have an experience where I swear it failed to load the next round in the chamber. It's been a while, but I pulled the trigger on an empty chamber. I remember being quite confused. You can replace it with a weaker spring, but you would have to go through the trouble of testing defensive rounds again (if you already had before).

The other anon is right about it being sharp. The fucker would cut me until I sanded it down myself. You would think it demanded blood to operate. That said, he's right you shouldn't have to do it yourself, but not a big deal to smooth it out. The hammer spring is also quite strong, it feels like a snub nose revolver ONLY on the double action pull. The sa trigger pull is really short for a pistol design this old. Not the shortest ever, but it gives other pistols a run for their money.

It's an all steel (almost) design. Sturdy pistol, and I really like the fact the firing pin is physically locked in place when the manual safety is engaged. I can't put into words how much I appreciate the peace of mind knowing it can't go off. Other than that it is what it is, a outdated single stack .380. I wish I could buy the walnut grips directly from them, even if they over-charged. I seriously detest them for sheer greed, who would buy another one just for the grips?

Still, you should get one if you like to collect. Its an interesting pistol you can carry if you like. And they really cheap now, even big retailers are listing them low. Seems like they want to clear out inventory.

I liked the VP9 trigger more than the p30 or usp I shot, despite being a hammer gun the p30 has the worse trigger out of the box so if you're keeping it stock the vp9 is the one to get. The ergos (of the button model) fit most folks like a glove and they're as rock solid reliable as it gets. The sig 320 on the other hand has the dubious reputation of going off in holsters and imho the standard 320 has a worse stock trigger and worse ergos when it comes to things like the grip texture.

If you liked the vp9 when you owned it, get it again. There will be no surprises there.
>>
>>65399033
If you shoot it better and it's not any less comfortable there isn't any reason not to carry it. If you find yourself not carrying because of comfort then you can always go back, it's not like you're going to throw the gun away.

Honestly, the gun I regretted selling the most was the USP45. But I had to sell like 90% of my guns(including the VP9) to fund a down payment for a house. Now, after working my ass off to pay off said house, the USP45 is nowhere to be found in CA.

I'll probably get the VP9 A1; I just don't know which variant yet. This one is pre-cut for a red dot, which is nice.

I can't do Chinese sights because of my astigmatism. No idea why RMRs and SROs don't have too much scattering, but the chink one really scatters, so much so that I can't use them. Does the VP9 they work with Trijicons?

>>65399247
If you haven't tried it yet I recommend trying 2 moa, I get bad scattering on 6 but the 2 dot I tried was so small the edges were just a bit fuzzy.

The grip is contoured to fit my hand better on the p30 but I like the aggressiveness of the usp grip. Pick one up in a store sometime and finger bang it, I think you'll like it although if you do end up getting one the LTT version may be the move if you got the cash to swing it. The p30 trigger is somehow, for my taste at least, worse than the USP's legendarily meh trigger.

32nd lowest in the nation. That's why folks like Tim Dillion who live and make income in Cali (some of the highest income tax, but very low property tax) but bought property in Texas (some of the highest property tax but no income tax) are so fucking retarded.

Do wish their gun laws (laws in general really) weren't so fucking retarded though, they constantly have contracts paying $3200 net a week for my job but I just can't bring myself to go and give up my primary hobby for 3 months. I haven't gone 3 months without shooting in years

Moreover this isn't counting anything but state property tax. Your county or city may (almost certainly does) charge property tax as well. This is a renter we're talking to. 1.8% among the highest in the nation? lol I wish I paid that. I pay more like 4%.

If I just want objectively the most reliable easy to shoot and train with pistol to conceal carry and double as duty for larping, a gen 6 Glock with a radian ramjet and rmr+light is just my best bet right? I don’t want something da/sa I just want to maximize performance and consistency. I know it’s kinda gay and influencer consumer pilled but I really can’t imagine there’s any other set up that can match that in terms of purely objective performance for self defense.

Do any companies make sights for the LCP Max that aren't tritium or white dots? I want a simple black blade that I can file down to adjust elevation. Every set of sights I've ever tried send the shots too low. I don't want to cover the target with my front sight, I want to use a 6 O'clock hold like you're supposed to.

The trigger is crisp and a little heavy. People say they smooth out but I havent really noticed it. That said, it outshoots my Hellcat.

If you're happy with your current micro I doubt it's enough difference to make a difference. The main draw for me was hammer fired SAO with a manual safety. I prefer that manual of arms to striker pistols.

That's the main draw for me. I don't own any SAO hammer guns as I'm more of a DA/SA but I like the appeal of cocked and locked

>>65397479
Personally, I wouldn't. A 90s design like the Mark 23 just doesn't look good with a red dot on it. Personally, I'd try to set it up with period accurate light/laser, and suppressor.
>>
>>65400649
Hammer guns also feel safer to me. Quick visual confirmation of the status of the pistol, you can physically block the hammer with your thumb while holstering, things like that.

It's also worth noting the CSXE allows you to rack the slide with the safety on, unlike most 1911's(don't know about 2011s never owned one). So it's an incredibly safe pistol to load and unload.

Yeah it was painful watching them and volker release flat trigger after flat trigger after "hybrid" (look closely - it's flat) trigger. Whole time I just wanted the same HK curved trigger but made of metal.

As a side note, I feel like the flat aftermarket HK triggers were designed for people who only shoot in single action. Looking side by side with the stock trigger, it seems like the straight triggers substantially increase the LOP for DA

I'm just waiting on another plastic one so I can modify the trigger guard and have a backup in case I fuck it. I'd get a metal one if it existed. That is pretty pricy but I bet it'd feel pretty nice if you could swing it

I'm hoping that it helps me tame the recoil management a bit with it as I don't want to go the compensator route for what is supposed to be a conceal carry pistol (365 XL).

wtf does slide lightening do? Like what can I do to get the most of it? Lookit this fucking thing, around the extractor... They cut windows and removed ALOT of material.
Stronger, weaker springs for say regular 115gr Luger load? Get 124gr?
Ditch comp and use factory barrel but get it ported on top?
Keep threaded barrel, get it ported AND run comp?

Any recommendations?, anyone have crazy raceguns in their arsenal? I'd like a piece of that performance on mine here

If you're not doing high speed shooting in competition it's rice for guns. Like when you see some faggot driving around in a civic si with a big wing and canards on a car that will never see a lap of a track.
>>
>>65400836
lower reciprocating mass = less mass bottoming out on the frame going backwards, and less mass that needs to be pushed back into battery by the recoil spring going forwards = smoother recoil cycle
you can get away with running weaker springs with a lighter slide, but if you go too light, the recoil cycle can begin to feel a bit sluggish

the comp is a separate issue, they do the most work when they can redirect a lot of gas, and so people will generally run 115s or 124s with more powder than 147s to run with comps, but you'll hear a lot of disagreement on what load is optimal for which division

Comps do so little with pistol levels of gas though. It's really just a barrel weight (which is a good thing).

idk how you have your support hand, but what helped me with micro compacts recently was adjusting my support hand index finger so it's on top of my main hand middle finger, allowing me to cam my support hand index finger knuckle up into the bottom of the trigger guard. Seems counter intuitive to be pushing up on the trigger guard but it helped me dial my control in. Not sure how well I explained that

i am that anon >>65400941 and i was actually look at Prodigy but in my country they don't cost ~1400$ but almost 3k€.

so it was either that, a pheonix Drake or maybe something cheaper, but with the cheaper handguns it's either turkshit or Glocks and i really hate the glock triggers and i don't want to spend an other 300€ on something that should be already good right out of the box

alright so now i'll just think about either two models from Phoenix or the Prodigy, last question, is the Prodigy compatible with 1911 parts or am i fucked for spare parts?
>>
>>65400985
I've had this aversion to glock because of this general, and I've come to the realization that this dislike is irrational. I believe they're fine pistols, but they are just defensive firearms to me. Not something I would collect. However, I do want a 43x with a 15 rounder. Maybe even one of those COA models as well.
>>
>>65400949
Yeah I wrap it around like normal but instead of just wrapping around the outside of the main hand I dig that finger tip in right on top of the main hand middle finger, basically just distal to the webbing between trigger finger and that index (lateral side of the 3rd proximal phalanx) (lateral from anatomical position so the up side when holding the gun)
>>
>>65401020
They're fine firearms in that they work. I would say Glock>M&Piss if I would choose between the two for a defensive handgun, because of the latter's QC issues.

I think this generals extreme negativity to the Glock is a result to the extreme positivity towards them everyone else shows. Ask a Glock fanboy and they are the only option anyone should ever consider. They're fine pistols, full stop, they do everything well, have nothing wrong with them. But that's all they are, the baseline.

What do you mean is the prodigy compatible with spare parts? A 2011 is literally a 1911 with a different frame and magazine. The prodigy does have some prodigy specific parts internally but after market companies literally make them.

What do you need for spare parts? What are you going to be replacing that you can’t just call the Springfield customer service line and buy replacements?

Oh. Read the chain.

Can’t you get MAC or Tisas there? Those are also good 2011s. The only part that’s different on the prodigy is the sear or sear spring
> The Prodigy ignition kit includes all the same high-quality components as the standard kit, but with one crucial difference: the sear. When we first released the Prodigy, we noticed that about 10% of customers experienced issues with hammer follow during installation. To address this, we made a slight modification to the sear, shortening it by .005 inches. This adjustment effectively resolved the issue, ensuring that our customers can install the Prodigy ignition kit with confidence and without any problems.
Really you shouldn’t need to replace the ignition kit for a very very long time

>>65401051
>A 2011 is literally a 1911 with a different frame and magazine.
I was thinking that it was a gun with no compatible parts except for one or two stuff but my major concern would be smaller parts like spring and pins.

custom trigger and slidelock button mainly and if possible a threaded barrel for suppressor use.

>What are you going to be replacing that you can’t just call the Springfield customer service line and buy replacements?

I don't get why FN doesn't get love from the consumer market. They were arguably the first to embrace optics compatibility and their guns are reliable as hell. I actually prefer the 509 to the pdp or the gen5 blocks, the grip angle is personal preference but the 509 is definitely more upright and the trigger isn't bad at all. I guess I'm just an FN fanboy because of the testing that went into the fnx45t, I always keep that idea of what they put that gun through when thinking about any FN pistol. It's a little thing but the recoil assembly for the 509 compact/mid/full is the same part which I love from a design standpoint.

Staccato is overrated. I still can't understand why some agencies adopted staccatos when out of the 6 years of matches about 80% of the time a staccato is there it has a failure. I guess it's just rule of cool though.

between 1700 for their sparta models and 6000€ for their race guns but no rails or threaded barrel so nope.

i guess i'll keep my eyes on either the Phoenix Predator or Fusion TA, all 2011 here are either overpriced or turkshit. guess i'm stuck with the swiss again

Same reason they adopted glocks decades ago, they're being given them for free and excellent support in order to legitimize and establish the brand as "tested"

> brands like staccato get loose after a few thousand
>but other (higher end) are still relatively tight fitting if the material is the same?
I have neither, but I would assume that higher end brands have more precisely fit parts with more tightly held tolerances for mating surfaces being flat and true to each other. While the lesser brands have high and low spots that wear down to a middle point and get looser.

the SP02 exist and so does tanfoglio.
Also Phoenix is litterally a SP01 on steroids

>I still can't understand why some agencies adopted staccatos
The answer is probably somewhere in the statistical correlation with the percentage of their "Heroes" (employees) that have sleeve tattoos and douche beards.

I get that, but thats not what Im asking

Im torn between a dan wesson specialist or a springfield trp, and I dont get why these guns come out feeling better put together than other guns that sell for thousands dollars more.

Money ≠ quality
Sometimes it does, but at a certain point you're just throwing money at brand equity. I'm sure many would be upset with me saying this but if you're interested in buying a high dollar 1911 a Dan Wesson is honestly 99% of what you'd get with a Wilson or Nighthawk. Kind of like Maserati, it's high dollar and honestly a weak performer in it's group but people still throw money at them.

It's basically like this anon said
>>65401783
The worse fitment a 19/2011 has the faster it will become a maraca. With the sheer volume of guns staccato and some other companies pump out, there is no conceivable way for them to have good gunsmiths fit every one, let alone competent fitters that pay attention to detail. You don't necessarily have to have a master gunsmith that's seen wear patterns of hundreds of guns and hundreds of thousands of rounds and knows the platform inside out, but care and time are needed for a good long lasting one.

>Stronger, weaker springs for say regular 115gr Luger load? Get 124gr?
depends on how its recoiling now & if you are getting reliability problems
generally recoil springs are like $10 a pop, what i did with my comped pistol was just buying a few and tested them to see what one i liked the most & ran ~75 rounds through each spring to see if they had any reliability issues

Staccato is going for mass production but high quality. Slide to frame fit isn’t required for accuracy (barrel fit is what matters). Slide to frame fit being looser may contribute to better reliability for leaving space for debris and gunk to be pushed aside or some shit. Staccato also has zero break in period. I honestly haven’t heard of a staccato getting looser.

Dan Wesson has a 500 round break in period because how tight they fit the guns and promise that it’ll be reliable after 500 rounds (pinky promise).

Having experience with both DW and Nighthawk, you won’t find any deficiencies with a DW in slide to frame fit and barrel lock up, but the difference is that DW you have a 500 round break in period, someone didn’t actually hand fit everything to perfection, and they use a retarded grip safety angle. On my 10mm specialist I had a really bad hot spot here that would break skin under recoil. The grip safety doesn’t depress enough.

>I want the MIM small parts
ur funeral lol
>>
>>65401815
Also having experience Springfield also still uses MIM parts in their TRPs. The ejector is MIM. I haven’t torn my TRP/Masterclass apart fully but at least the safety and slide stops aren’t MIM. Honestly not a big deal, I’m very happy with my 10-8 Performance
