>>65417868Let's have a good thread guys, lots of OC, good vibes only
The story so far: gun has been temperamental with some periods of reliability and then others with constant premature lock back issues. Pic related. In part 4 Nighthawk rebuilt the entire top end of the gun, like 1500–2000 thousand dollars of work for free, on receipt I was having issues with the lock back on empty and also premature lock back. The smith throughly test fired this gun again. He discovered my Tripp Cobra 10mm mags had the ability to jostle under recoil and the mag body itself was impacting the slide stop and causing slight premature lock back. Not sure if he said the Wilsons did it but he said the gun had no issues with their new mag. Nighthawk actually developed a new 10mm 1911 magazine which would alleviate this and were kind enough to send 8 of them for free with the gun back because I had sent them 8 mags to test.
>>65417891>The story so far: gun has been temperamental with some periods of reliability and then others with constant premature lock back issuesGlocks don't have this issue (it just works)
>>65417891>gun has been temperamental with some periods of reliability and then others with constant premature lock back issues.It's crazy how unreliable and inconsistent of a gun you can get for several thousand dollars when you could have bought a Glock that just work
very organic posts, guysgreat job
>>65417891>Nighthawk actually developed a new 10mm 1911 magazine which would alleviate this and were kind enough to send 8 of them for free with the gun back because I had sent them 8 mags to test.I mean it sucks that you've had these kinds of issues, but that's some damn fine customer service.
I’m planning on getting nods as my next big purchase, because why not?Talk me into eventually saving up for a suppressor for my Gen 2 Glock 17 instead of buying a .300 blackout upper for my AR, and suppressing that.I want to try hunting coyotes.
>>65417957>>65417961It’s the nature of 10mm 1911s and I’d like to see you guys shoot .2 splits with a 10mm Glock and enjoy it like I do with my NIGHTHAWK PREDATOR.
>>65417891>magsI've never had a problem with Wilson or DW mags. I've never tried Tripp.Hopefully those new NH mags solve your issue.
>>65417891My nu-cobramag 45 mags also jiggle around in the frame, but to be completely honest my slide is off getting milled for sights and I haven't had a chance to test them in anything but the bare frame. For what it's worth I haven wilson mags and dozens of cheapo sarco/mec gar mags and they don't wiggle up or down
>>65417993I did have issues with Wilson’s, DW, and Chip McCormick mags Interesting that these Nighthawk mags have a convex style follower
>>65417984I'd put my dick in it.
My friend gifted me this light. I like it. Now I just need to replace the broken rear sight.
>>65418003Tripp mags are well regarded, I think it’s just the recoil of 10mm in this case.My Dan Wesson 10mm had the same issue, the mags might have caused it but I was seeing problems with both Wilson’s and Tripp. And McCormick. And the DW stock mags. I’ve had very terrible luck with 10mm 1911s
>>65417984Poor sticker qc
>>65418018They were recently acquired by some new blood after John Tripp (idk his name just guessing) retired. They are in the same industrial zone as Staccato and Dawson Precision in texas now. I don't know what this really means, it's possible that cobramag will just end up being the OEM for staccato and coincidentally make single stack mags on the side. I don't really think Cobramag has engineers or people who know what they're doing anymore, I worry about the quality of cobramags. I have no proof that Tripp Research ever actually made its own magazine tubes in the first place, it's entirely possible Checkmate made them for them.
>>65418042Virgil Tripp is actually one of the founders of staccato (when it was called STI) the T stood for Tripp, Strayer Tripp International. I wouldn’t go blame the mag body so quickly, the mag release and its location also has some to blame. Nighthawk just might have made a fucked up frame, this gun originally as it was only locked back on empty with Wilson Combat mags. Not the chip McCormick mags which were the “OEM” mag.
>>65418006>Interesting that these Nighthawk mags have a convex style followerHm, so do the mags that came with my specialist.I guess I've been lucky. There is some peeing on the front of the slide stop cut that maybe indicates the slide stop was getting bounced up a little bit like yours, but getting knocked back down again before the slide actually started to return to battery. If my slide stop cut was a little longer, maybe I'd have had the same issue?Idk, so far so good. Maybe 1k rounds, possibly 1500 now? I haven't done good at keeping track. Almost 100% magtech.
>>65417984>>65417891>>65417868>nighthawkHave a nighthawk, frens.
>>65417890Deal.
>>65418105You live in AZ right? Where abouts?I taking a job in Tucson, any reason I shouldn’t do this? About 60% more than my last job
>>65418105>>65418105For me, it's Adolph's Banquet Beer.
>>65418192Would
>>65418215So, you're saying you want to slide your worm in there?
>>65418209Yeah I'm in north Phoenix atm.I lived in Tucson for years. I genuinely liked it. Like any city, it has areas that are total shitholes and areas that are very nice. It's a "smaller" city so don't expect a major metro vibe, but very sprawled so you probably won't go too much outside your area. Choose where you live carefully, and check commute times to where you'll be working. If the raise is that big, it's probably worth it. Cost of living is higher now like everywhere but still middle of the road or even in the lower side US-wide, but not as low as the midwest.If you're on the North side of town, like Oro Valley, the best range is PPC in Catalina. Bit of a drive but worth it, it's where Ian from forgotten weapons started shooting 2gun. There used to be a few rally solid LGS but idk how they are now - the one I worked at has been sold to new owners.Biggest reason to not do it is that the SW is going to get ultraraped by climate change and water shortages over the next 30 years, but it's not going to be an all at once thing so you have time. Tucson gets more rain and slightly lower temps than Phoenix at least, and the natural desert around there is wayyyy nicer. Hike Pusch ridge, Romero pools, drive up Mt. Lemmon. Eat Nicos. Go meet an alt-girl at The Loft during a showing of cult movies. Catch some live music at Tap & Bottle. Work for Raytheon.It's not bad. If I still lived there I'd be saying fuck off were full and telling you how shitty it was.
>>65417891You take the hits, so we can save our money. Bless you
>>65418239Yeah I already picked Oro valley since it is like the #1 safest area in Arizona. Already saw PPC, was making the decision where I was going to live based off the nearest good range.Thanks. I don’t know about the talking to women thing though.
>>65418280I’ll still recommend nighthawk custom just because the brand name rolls of the tongue nicely.
>>65418287>already picked Oro valleyLived there for 10+ years. If you can stand the summers and it not being very "hip" you'll like it. I'd end up back there if work wasn't taking me out of state.Dropped my burner in the namefield, will tell you anything you might want to know about the place.
These two guns fit the same holster. Kind of. The CSX could be forced into a 1911 holster and with a trigger safety + manual safety I trust it.
>>65418343
>>65417868Why make the new thread so soon? Not complaining just curious.
>>65418356Previous thread was toxic, this one's chill.
>>65418239>>climate changeGrow up, faggot
>>65418356whenever it hits the bump limit (310) is the norm, many people don't like to post at ~280 or so since their posts will only be seen for a few hours until everyone moves to the new threads used to last at least 2 days but they're now like 24 hours
>>65417891Here I am just happy with a basic Colt Govt ModelI need to clean that fucker soon, probably this weekend.
>>65418374You're dumb as fuck nigger, but obviously too room temp to help. Rapefugee status soon.
One day I will get a flintlock pistol and LARP as a pirate
>>65418322I’m naturally anti social so I already know all that I need. Where I’m going to sleep and the where to go shooting
Okay I believe this is the final version (unless I missed something). Added an option for both times and un-timed. So now there's basically 4 brackets.>untimed 10 yards printed target>timed 10 yards printed target>untimed 25 yard USPSA target>timed 25 yard USPSA targethttps://files.catbox.moe/brwglb.pdf
>>65418405I bought the Colt Limited Government>worst 1911 trigger I have ever seen, creep for miles >rusting out of the box (light surface rust at the front sight, came right off) >super sharp edges, sharp edges at the ends of the serrations that are worrisome >trigger shoe is was super short I then >replaced hammer, sear, and safety >trigger shoeIt’s quite nice now. It’s rattly but not enough to be a complaint. Gold bead sight is nice. Their super aggressive trigger guard undercut is nice. I do hate the rollmark on the right side being “limited edition”, I don’t need my fucking gun to advertise that it’s “limited” why can’t it be “Colt’s Government Model” like the old ones, or say Model of 1911 U.S Army like the rollmark from the other side is aping.
>>65418459LMAOOOOO
>>65418514The mossad agent didn't shoot off the draw lmao, he took like 10 seconds for first shot and he missed everything
>>65418518
>>65418518The shooter was moving, and was quite a distance away from him - and just iron sights. I'm sure you haven't trained for this scenario. Give him a break, it's real easy to be a little fag on the internet criticizing him.
>>65418527I will give him a break since I think he was >30 yards away and trying to hit a target at full deflection that’s moving. I won’t give him a break for carrying a subsonic five seven with a suppressor and light, and not a RED DOT OPTIC.
>>65418527> I'm sure you haven't trained for this scenarioI regularly shoot 2-gun matches so actually yeah I do
>>65418527>Criticizing shlomo BADI'm pointing out that the drill is fucked because he didn't shoot off the draw, don't name it after little bibi if he didn't do exactly what your drill is. If anything the drill should start unholstered
>>65417891Shoulda bought a Staccato. You live and you learn.
>>65418040Yikes!>>65418405What character is your little pedo doll? What gun does she have?
>>65418618NTA but She carries a modified Detonics Combat Master with a frame mount comp/stand off device.
>>65418533>I won’t give him a break for carrying a subsonic five seven with a suppressor and light, and not a RED DOT OPTIC.Totally fair, and I agree. I need to get a slide or two cut now.
>>65418646Then there was the off duty cop who wasn’t carrying with a round in the chamber and then couldn’t rack the slide after he got shot bad in the arm. A lady picked up the discarded pistol from the shooter but couldn’t figure out how to unjam it I think a 4th person, another off duty cop was there
>>65418671Cops are cops, clown on them all day. They should be more proficient and knowledgeable, but they choose not to train. As for the normies... they're normies.
>>65418618Chisato from Lycoris RecoilShe carries what this anon said>>65418625 and it pretty much is a 1911 mechanics wise
Hand is sore from .45 supers, am I really this much of a pussy
>>65418408>>You're dumb as fuck niggert. Greta Thunberg
>>65418729Would. Also, McDonald's is now selling Red Bull products lol.
>>65418459>>65418527Eli Dicken remains unsurpassed four years later.
>>65418773um...
>>65418773What's that third photo there champ?
85% sure my parents saw the keychain. Do I kill myself? Also, are we feeling 1000 fps or make these go 1150 for the meme?
>>65418773At least a monthShits hard when you can't buy pallets of ammo all the time
>>65418391>many people don't like to post at ~280 or so since their posts will only be seen for a few hours until everyone moves to the newThis, and then I'm paralyzed because I have horrible luck and tend to get ninja'd seconds before I click post, but my horrible luck also makes no one make a new thread until post 450
>>65418799I like the revolver anon, is it a model 66?
>>6541881569. I was fucking dumb with my first batch of reloads and put 11 ~45k psi rounds through it. Thankfully it's built like a tank at the cylinder and the forcing cone is okay
Just a small collection.
>>65418791He deleted??
>>65418838A balanced collectionI also have a Jericho but that gun is pretty much a safe queen
>>65418763What a legend. Having a G19 was best case scenario. From 40 yards i don't hit shit with my pocket 380.
>>65418763>>65418915He wasn't at 40yrds the entire time, he moved closer to the shooter and even braced against a pole or column at one point. Not to take away from his bravery, but not the same situation. Although, I did read somewhere his sights were fucked or damaged, but I don't know about the veracity of that claim.
>>65416643>Even when the film or show is good, those covers always look cheap to meYeah I agree, I had a set of the LOTR trilogy with stills from the movies on each cover and cheap is a good word for how it felt, even though I love the movies. This one I think is pretty cool but it was my parent's. They took me to see it in theater even though I was way too young. They read the book though so they had to have known what was coming.
>>65418927Crichton is good, I loved Airframe and The Andromeda Strain.
>>65418882Not that poster but the Jericho is such a beast. Something about the slide makes it feel like it shoots flatter than my sp01
I love retro games, bros. Fuck the new shit.
I want a 2011 but I don't have no money. Should I commit Turkiye, prodigy, or something else?
>>65418954Just get a >>65418213>>65418105And be done with it.
>>65418799Yeah you should kill yourself and join Ember's ghost squad, but please don't take out any of your wagie coworkers first.
>>65418882I do love the Jericho but unless I am strapped with a duty belt that thing is too heavy for me to carry casually.
>>65418943
>>65418994Basedado.
PSA: If anyone ever posts this gun on /k/ again, know that he is a gay pedo.>>65418856 #He did.
Last one!>>65419002>>65418994
>>65419009Yep I caught that too
>>65419009I could be his nephew, and he deleted because he didn't want people seeing that. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt, though why would you post a screenshot instead of the actual picture is beyond me.
I also want to be in on the trend. I use the Wii as a native analog output emulation box for everything 8 and 16 bit
>>65419017The child was wearing a gay pride shirt. I am not saving that photo or reposting the child's image.
>>65419009you're leaving out the context
>>65418773Hey Rabbi, whatcha doin?
>>65418943>it's been over 21 years since KOTOR 2, the best star wars game ever made, releasedFuck>>65418838Which is your favorite, and which do you actually shoot the most?
>>65418930I think Congo and the Lost World are the only others of his I have read. I've had Prey and State of Fear in my amazon cart for a while now but I have so many books to get through already.
>>65419039Honestly the Jericho is my favorite it's just aims effortlessly, Point and shoot never gave me trouble.As for shooting the most the CZ 75 D and the 75 P07 have put the most lead downrange.
>>65419039>prostagma
>>65418239I keep looking for an excuse to go down and check out Ben Avery.. I’m about an hour or so north…. Wonder if their are enough AZ anons to justify a meetup? Or just get a group together and blast some stuff….
>>65418040It's so fucking over.
heres my colt 1902 for that .38acp enthusiast from the other thread
>>65419058Disclosure was a fun departure for him…
every few years i like to forget that ruger makes shitty handguns and somehow i get memed into buying one
>>65419058>>65419087Damn, I need to read more Crichton. I only have a couple under my belt, and those books have hooked by their synopsis alone.
>>65418954I love my Poverty. It's a great shooter at a good price. Only thing I don't like is the gunk it ejaculates onto the lens, but I gather that's a common 2011 thing with forward mounts
Bros, are suppressors legal now? Did we win?
>>65419126They've never not been legal old bean
>>65418459Cool, I'll give it a go
>>65419126Yeah. Cans are fun>>65418954Just don't get the DS Warrior or any other 2011 without a steel frame as the recoil reduction is like the whole point of a 2011. Prodigy has a dubious rep due to the first several years of it's production being plagued with QC issues but they seem to be much better built now. Could be improved QC, could be a mid generation upgrade/update they never advertised like the ones sig is famous for.
I just spent $46 on flashlight accessories :-(
>>65418459>>65418514>>65418518>>65418521>>65418527>The shooter was moving, and was quite a distance away from him>>65418533>I will give him a break since I think he was >30 yards>DO THIS!>TRAIN THIS!Blah, blah all of this is massively gay cope. That guy missed all of his shots. Good on him for trying, but the lesson here isn't any retarded drills to shoot. The lesson is that instead of a retarded FN 5.7 with a suppressor, he would have been better off carrying just about any other basic duty pistol in a non-gay caliber, with a zeroed red dot on it.
>>65419235A long barreled revolver would have been cool to see for that.>long sight radius>big bore>light single action
>>65418671>Then there was the off duty cop who wasn’t carrying with a round in the chamber and then couldn’t rack the slide after he got shot bad in the arm.>I think a 4th person, another off duty cop was there.I believe that was a former LE of some type. He walked up the drive through lane, likely in order to investigate the initial gunshots that killed the girl working the window, and the old guy in his car. I don't think he even had his gun out, and he was shot by the gunman. An off duty state trooper was in the In-N-Out and later attempted to confront the shooter through the pay window and was shot at, possibly an exchange of fire, and was repelled back from the window. The part about the lady picking up the jammed pistol is correct. Neither the shooter, nor her, knew how to reduce the malfunction.
>>65419291I saw the video, the cop had his gun but the gunman was obstructed from his view. He dashed over, and around the corner the POS saw him first and shot him in the arm/shoulder area. He's was bleeding profusely, and had to retreat for medical attention.
>>65417868What's the best current production can that fits these things?
>>65419317>green MK23 frameUhh, based
>>65419317>tlr-1NGMI should have opted for a surefire bud
>>65419317B&T Impulse whatevernumbertheyareuptonow is the only one still made that doesn't void the warranty, but it's not very good at suppressing
>>65419335>I cAn sEe...Every. Time.
>>65419338What are the actual odds I ever need a warranty on this anyway?
>>65419342Any dollar amount towards anything but a surefire is a waste
>>65419308>I saw the video, the cop had his gun but the gunman was obstructed from his view.OK, your memory is better than mine. From what I remember seeing, it didn't seem like the guy was thinking that he was walking into the opening salvo of an active shooter situation.
>>65419352It's not 2010 anymore. There are options other than Surefire that are just as reliable.
>>65419360Keep sippin that "WML's are a solved product" Koolaid there bud, surefire is the only light worth buying
>>65419358Nah, he knew. I remember that frantic look he had as he raced towards the gunfire.
>>65419335>should have opted for a surefire bud>>65419352>Any dollar amount towards anything but a surefire is a wasteNTA, but brand-suckers like like this are insufferable. FYI, you are years late on the Surefire fellatio. They fell way behind on innovation over ten years ago.
>>65419369He doesn't own one. These faggots never own the thing they're trollshilling.
>>65419363>Keep sippin that "fleshlights are a solved product" Koolaid there bud, Pocket Pussy is the only fleshlight worth buying
>>65419369How can you innovate on perfection?
>>65419369Surefire stood out because the og streamlight tlr1 was only 300 lumens. You’re right I think it has been ten years since they updated that.
>>65419373>He doesn't own one.You are very likely correct. Probably the same faggot that was trying to bait the Nighthawk-Yellow Fever anon about his 10mm. >Insert 'I'm a Sad lonely Faggot' meme
>>65419367I'll add this, I also remember thinking to myself, if he had just slowed down a bit, he might have caught the POS just as he moved around the corner. Idk if its just monday night quarterbacking or my FPS experience. In any case, I can't blame, if any I commend him.
>>65419377Bout to make me piss myself there bud, but what I said is still true
>>65419317What shoulder holster are you getting?
>>65419380Yep and streamlight still doesn't hold a candle to surefire. If you want the best performance, battery life, build quality, service history, and overall aesthetic you go with surefire
>>65419087Will check it out thanks. >>65419110I heard about them from people on here so I’m hoping I won’t be disappointed. I haven’t been by Crichton so far.
>>65419396>and overall aesthetic you go with surefireActually, harbor freight makes the most kino light...
>>65419378>>65419383>>65419396>I am a sad lonely faggot, here's some embarrassing information about me, please don't bully me with it
>>65419391Oh, I've had the gun for a while now. I just have one of the blackhawk droplegs for it, I doubt I'll ever actually carry it in any serious capacity. But I am considering getting it milled by Wright and nt7+ plated.
>>65419405Streamcucks mad
>>65419407>So, no cowboy hat or suppressor?>stomps on printed frame
>>65419403Yep I figured you'd post an internet photo of it, nobody is wasting money on that garbage. Any Dollar Not On Surefire Is Wasted ADNOSIW
>MOM, MY INTERNET FRIENDS ARE ARGUING ABOUT FLASHLIGHTS AGAIN
>>65419409>Streamcucks madpost anything you actually own that is relevant to this thread.
>>65419411I'll probably do a suppressor at somepoint. And a better light for giggles.
>>65419419When responding next time try not sounding assblasted streamcuck
>>65419425post something or fuck off back to your discord
>>65419083Fuck, that's a good looking gun. Every once in a while I see a Husqvarna 1907 pop up on gunbroker but it's never quite the right time for me. Very cool piece anon.
>>65419377Hey! We at 4chan® ONLY recommend the superior tenga line or products.
>just broke up with gf of 10 years>nfa is kill>new czechnologyWhat a day it has been lads.
>>65419501Tenga is too small. Didn't work for me.
>>65419529
What are the best looking guns in stainless? CZ75 clones like pic related are quite nice, but a good 1911 is very nice too.
>>65419516A new day indeed.
>>65419493I just realized I confused the .38 ACP with the 9x20 Browning long. I love obscure old calibers.
>>65419407Hmmm... what a coincidence...
>>65418280Hows the all American treating you? I think they look sharp and I want one almost as much as a double eagle because perfect dark
>>65419083Id like to get one of those do an optic cut threaded barrel and get a rail cut on the lower for a light... then be neatly labotomized.

>>65419083what a beauty
>>65418943Same, I've decided to walk away from current gaming, there's only a very small amount of games I am willing to buy anymore
>>65419674NiceI would love to have 1911s from various parts of 20th century
Sup anons, just bought my first handgun to see if i could pass a background check since I wasn't sure if i still counted as a resident in my state since I lived and worked in New York for 9 months last year.
>>65419850Very nice, Anon. No buy a holster, some mags, a 1 on 1 class and lots of ammo
>>65419850nice safe choice
>>65417891>spend $4,000 on a gun>it doesn't fucking work and needs to be sent back repeatedlyWhy are custom gun companies such utter scam artists? Is it because they know a majority of their boomer fudd ass customers just use their $4,000 guns as a display piece?
>>65418459Fail. The real Salinas drill is to put the target at 30 yards, draw, fire, miss all shots. That's the best challenge yet for HG honestly
>>65419338>tha warranteeirrelevant.T. also interested in what the best current production silencer is for my mark 23 >>65419317
>>65419563>I love obscure old calibers.I'm a bit of a hipster so all my favorite guns are chambered in a 125 year old cartridge. I guess I just like going against the (124) grain idk>>65419396If the TLR-1 HL isn't durable enough for you then idk what the fuck you're doing with it. In all my years posting here and various facebook gun groups I've seen one single dude break a TLR-1 HL and he did it by literally yeeting his pistol into a rock field several times to see what would break first, the gun, rmr, or light.
>>65419516Good morning anon I hate women.
>>65419549I saw a stainless eaa compact yesterday and that was pretty tempting. I want to put the slide on my p01 for a two tone thing.
With the current changes regarding suppressors, I think its finally time for me to purchase one. I'm looking for one that will work with both .45 auto and 9mm. What do you recommend and want kind of hardware will I need to get in order to get a suppressor mounted and working?
>>65419919nta, but I have to work today. I guess the otters are safe.. for now.
>>65419850Should have went with a Glock 19 but good job
>>65419516>nfa is killIs it really?
>>65419941Deader than disco. Suppressors, SBSs, and SBRs for all.
>>65419965>SBSs, and SBRsNot those though.
>>65419974Yes, dems too, dawg. Though, only for firearms bought from PSA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfSzfoo4hg0
>>65419983I fucking knew I should have bought some of those lowers.
>>65419987You still can, mothafucka! You also have to be a current member of GOA. Though, we all should supporting them anyway.
I have a PX4 compact and a 92FS. Do I buy a 92 compact or full-size PX4 next? Am considering the full in .45
>>65419992This, gonna order 4 lowers this week to begin finally assembling some of the manlet uppers i've acquired over the years
>>65420000>/hg/
>>65420017chill out, pube flosser, this is a huge win and big news. Suppressors are free, afaik.
>>65419992Does it have to be a lower or can I just have been a customer of theirs in some capacity? Because I bought mags and ammo from them too.
>>65420063>customerI believe that's for suppressors only. For the SBSs and SBRs it must have been a firearm ordered from them. Lower is the bare minimum I believe.
>>65420084Balls.
>>65420084I'm not sure lowers qualify. I watched the video from PSA again, and the language on screen is a little different then what he is saying. I think it has to be either a pistol or complete, full-length rifle that can be legally converted.
>>65420017Think of it like this: your handgun hobby just got a new fork
>>65420098A lower counts as a full legal firearm, they specified firearm since that's what a lower to a full built SBR is.
>>65420033Doesn't change the fact this is the handgun thread
>>65420148Handgun suppressors, anon??
>>65418926Should also be noted that he did miss a good few of his shots (probably the near 40 yard ones). But he corrected and advanced in order to neutralise the threat without endangering more people through missed shots, which is more commendable than launching 20+ 5.7 bullets into the general direction of the shooter.>>65419217:(
>>65419926Unless I'm mistaken I'm like 90% sure that by the point they were called eaa compacts, tanfoglio had made so many changes to the cz design that they shouldn't be interchangeable.
>>65420163Ahhh that's better
>>65419894>Is it because they know a majority of their boomer fudd ass customers just use their $4,000 guns as a display piece?mostly yesalso see the warranty conversation from like four threads ago where everyone was arguing that it's okay if the gun doesn't work if the warranty is good, like sending your gun back for a week isn't a huge pain in the ass when somehow 95% of other manufacturers somehow make their millions of guns work right ootb>>65419414>Any Dollar Not On Surefire Is Wasted ADNOSIWthe only money not wasted on surefire is on the M600V or RC2/SB2everything else made by surefire is a tremendous waste of fucking money
I am looking for a 22lr for target shooting that I can easily mount a dot sight to Any suggestions for good options?This is what I mostly use now, '73 Ruger mk1I prefer older stuff I can find used but not opposed to new
Might not be as easy as I thought. Maybe I’ll get some cardboard targets.
>>65419639It's pretty great, though I did have about 5 failures to feed yesterday. First time using Fiocchi with that gun, I guess it doesn't like it>>65419927>one for both .45 auto and 9mmPlease don't do this, get it for the caliber you shoot most and then cover the other one later, caliber-for-caliberThey cum with everything you need, you typically have a selection of which thread pitch comes on the piston included with the silencer>>65420305Taurus TX22 Competition or TORO, Ruger Mark IV, FN 502, there are a few. What do you intend to do with the gun?
Need to get another 9mm can so I don't have to swap back and forth from piston to tri-lug.
>>65420343Mk23 guy again. Probably going to void my warranty anyway today. Is the Osprey/Octane piston system any good?
>>65419894Purely "Sunk Cost Fallacy". If you're familiar with the cognitive issue you will find the pattern repeatedly. It is especially prevalent on /k/ but /hg/ demographics tend to a lower income bracket meaning that there are fewer anons who are willing to make a multi-thousand dollar purchase and then obstinately defend their poor application of budget on a poorly made firearm
On the topic of ported guns, are they noticeably louder if you're limited to indoor ranges?
>>65420409>>65420300>>65419894
>>65420427Incredibly so depending on the ports
>>65420386I'm surprised you haven't before now!>>65420395Yeah, I believe there are several brands that use those pistons too. Not that that helps in this case since you're buying into a system anew. The Osprey's noise reduction isn't very good, but Octane's a bit better there>>65420427Very much so. Please use plugs under muffs to protect your hearers, even without a comp/port
>>65418994retrobright your console, son
>>65418209The heat and the drivers. I lived in Tucson for 10 years. There's a lot to like. A lot of good food, plenty of options for shooting and outdoor activities. PPC and TRC are both nice and have matches if you're into that, and Rio Salado isn't too far if you're really, really into that. If you don't mind that heat and get a Deuce-and-a-half or similar for a daily driver, it's not too bad.>>65418927>LOTRThat was exactly the example I had in mind. That copy of Jurassic Park is interesting in that now more people know the movie than the book (both are great though).

>>65420592Concept III of my Ultimate Conceal Carry Battle Pistol project, UCCBPP, .45 2011 with a 4 inch barrel.Ultimately this is a wash since it’s kind of ugly looking, I’m moving on. The EPS does not get bright enough for day light shooting I think. Maybe this is why multi reticles would be better since I could compensate with a 32 MOA crosshair instead of my 2 MOA dot.
>>65420609>abandoned because it was uglydamn… just like me…
>>65417891Sounds like the mag release isn't big enough to hold the mag down. Bigger mag release or trim the tops of a mag or 2 and test in a control experiment. Just some free mods to keep that mag from touching the slide release. Adding extra weight to the mag like what they use in competition. Few ways to approach this.
>>65420609Shit son I've got an EPS and have no trouble with dot acquisition during the day. Wonder if your emitter isn't outputting correctly
>>65420609>EPS does not get bright enough for day light shooting
>>65418838Based collection of (mostly) interesting guns with interesting stories. Most of my shit is off of GB. (<20 pistols)
>>65420592OkI should take another photo like this with my 43x eventually
>>654192355.7 fgt is a poser and has skill issue. He should start by ditching can, use optic and getting fucking real.I have a LCRx ruger .38 J frame and in SA I can always hit the 8" steel of my 200$ dueling tree at 50 yards with atleast one of 5 shots, sometimes 2.
>>65420592why don’t people carry a walther p99? same size as a glock 19
>>65420818I like your taste. My shield carry comp has been in circulation with the g19 and g23 lately but I just became a sigger and purchased a 365x. Probably going to end up with a g26 and likely a 43x at some point as well.
just bought a spare complete upper for my unica for $1300. god bless
>>65420891I will forever cope with my rhino
>>65420869You see, man is but a dismal creature
>>65418979right? a joy to shoot and the pistol i'd choose if i needed to give a beating with lol
>>65420746What is this one? Never seen grips like that>>65420890If you have the cash to swing it drop that 365 in an icarus precision frame. They're incredible just pricy
>>65420898The Rhino is still very cool tbf. Though if you have an aluminum one, I'd sell it and buy a 30 DS X (all steel version). Probably less chance it'll explode on ya
>>65420909desu i have been eyeing the Sharps Bros aluminum frames because I'm a sucker for the aesthetic. I went ahead and bought a wilson combat basic 365 module since mine is the X frame. Does the icarus really hold that much of a position over the other options?
>>65420909That would be the G10 grips on my Lionheart Regulus beta (compact)
>>65420920I just shoot .38sp out of it anyway
3, 2, 1, Let's Jam (the gun)!
I've added the 507 Comp Ronin to my GAYgency Arms M&P. Really glad i went with the 2moa over the 6 moa dot of the 407. 328$ off GB after shipping. Really just want to put the word out that the niggas at Schaefer Defense are legit, I was ready to claim all sorts of false sales and bullshittery but nope, they sent a NIB 507 Comp ronin for about 100$ cheaper than everyone else on GB and certainly my LGSs. Here's a link to their basic bitch 507 which is still baddass optic just its an open emitter. If ya want closed get their EPS (non carry model) https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1195066738
>>65420923I haven't tried to sharps but I do far prefer it over the wilson combat. Like any grip it's mostly personal taste but if you see one in a gun case pick it up and see for yourself.
>>65420964I like them better than the cz75
>>65420427Depends! I have the Bodyguard 2.0 "carry comp" which is .380 and has a big wide top port. It sounds like an average 9mm. A Glock with a ramjet that has diagonal/side ports or something high pressure like a .357 sig or 10mm is *considerably* louder than it would be with a stock barrel.
If I want a broomhandle Mauser, how much am I going to have to pay, and what's a good deal? I missed out on all those imports with the big red numbers on the handle years ago.
>>65420609>Ultimately this is a wash since it’s kind of ugly looking,I like it enough that I might make one.
>>65420964>>65421032Of all the CZ 75 clones out there which one regularly preforms the best? As legendary as the original Czechoslovakian design is, a guy I listen to says the tanfoglio manufactured guns are superior in fit & finish, while the Israeli Jericho's are praised for their cool factor. That's not to mention any number of cheap off brand clones over the decades.
>>65421116I was kidding but the non-color matched grip is bothering me
>>65420199Damn that sucks. I used to have a full size but I never owned it and an actual cz at the same time. The mags were interchangeable at least for this model.
>>65421164Jerichos are pretty basic with their offerings but the beretta style decocker is rad
i hate .45 threadspost a good 9mm one next
>>65420305im gonna buy a ruger mark iv 22/45 250 year anniversary edition(its the only mark iv that has a red dot mount from factory)
>>65421211What’s wrong 9mm boy? Afraid of feeling something?
>>65420891i never considered you could just swap uppers on those.
>>65420592pointed at my femoral right now
>>65421178Finished installed my steel grip module Looks a lot more coherent now
What gun should I get my wife? She has never wanted to go shooting with me, but the other day she said something about getting her own gun.
>>65421299Bodyguard 2.0. the .380 round is powerful enough for carry, but not so strong as to scare her off with a shit ton of recoil.
>>65421299Bodyguard 2.0
>>65421311>>65421315yeah get her something super boring and unfun
>>65421299glock 42 because the bg2.0 sucks
>>65421299>but the other day she said something about getting her own gun.what gun did she want?
So I didn’t become a fan of Glocks really until relatively recently. I’m aware about the controversy with California and switches, causing Glock to stop selling the Gen 3, 4, and 5. Anyways I checked out Glock’s website and apparently they still sell the Gen 3 but it’s only available to law-enforcement. So I assume we can no longer just outright by a new Gen 3? Is that how this works?
>>65421347why would you ever buy a new glock?
>>65420592I love this thing. Makes me feel like I have a 4 inch dick
>>65421347If you want to buy a gen 3 you gotta get a Ruger RXM or PSA Dagger
>>65421311Girsan Mc-14t. Copy of the tip up barrel beretta cheetah.. 380, and you teach her to pop the barrel up when she’s done shooting so you both can see it’s clear.. also she can direct load a round and then pop the barrel down instead of racking the slide to load…. You can even get it in purple if she’s into that, and it’s almost tastefully done..
>>65421361Dammit, linked the wrong post. >>65421299
>>65421299Get her a PPK in 32, bitches love that shit
>>65421361Any other guns with the pop up barrel like that?My mother has arthritis and difficulty in pulling a slide back sometimes but won't do a revolver
>>65421347Just get a used one, there’s a billion of them around. Or buy mine, $1699, very good price for you friend. Buy buy buy!
>>65420432>>65420462>>65421074Yeah, sounds like what I feared. I went with the noncomp version. >use plugs under muffs to protect your hearersThanks, senpai. I was planning on going with only the muffs.
>>65421329>>65421336Just something smaller that will fit in her hands. I’d like to get something with a threaded barrel now that NFA is kill lol
>>65421370Beretta makes the tomcat and bobcat in 32acp, and 22lr. The new cheetah from them doesn’t have the tip up barrel. Not sure about others.
>>65421164Tanfoglio has better slide serrations which makes manipulating that tiny cz75 slide easier and just generally better fit and finish. Jerichos are sort of their own thing ergonomic wise and that means you should handle it before you buy one since you may really end up not liking the differences>>65421186Crazy dusty collection there man. Been cutting back on bourbon to save for more cans and now that the NFA is repealed I REALLY gotta cut back. It's been giving me a reason to finish off a bunch of bottles though.
>>65421382Thanks.She recently upgraded from some inexpensive sub compact taurus.38 to a compact sw 9mm and has a slightly easier time with it. Not sure she wants to go smallerMaybe there are accessories to make it easier to pull, I'll have to look in to it
>>65421379>I was planning on going with only the muffsDon't ever do this indoors, outdoors you may be able to get away with this but even a 22 pistol indoors is too loud for muffs only.
>>65421378>$1699, very good price for you friend. Buy buy buy!NTA but owning a lazerbeam anon pistol WOULD be pretty sick. >>65421370>>65421382If it swings your opinion the bobcat 22lr was on sale for $200 yesterday on KYGUNCO, I haven't checked if it still is.
>>65421350>>65421378>>65421359Well I already have a trade in Gen 2, but I guess I just like the option being there just in case, you know?I hate the way the new ones look aside from Gen 3 and maybe Gen 4. Plus I wonder about parts availability and whatnot. Idk what Gens are available with what parts.
>>65421410The parts compatibility over the various generations is kind of a mess, because it varies by model. Gen 3 and 5 parts are both still readily available, but now that both are discontinued, the OEM parts might start drying up. Aftermarket makers will pretty much always be a thing in that space, though. If you’re paranoid like I am about stocking up on OEM spare parts, you might want to do so before (((Lenny Magill))) raises his prices again.
>>65421403No shit? Thanks anon. I wouldn't have known. I live in a cuckstate that requires me to take a class to own a gun. Absolute fucking despair. But get this shit, one of the requirements is loading and shooting 5 rounds down range safely. They only gave me a pair of muffs for an indoor range. Dicks.
>>65421432I mean it's not going to immediately damage your hearing, you won't get tinnitus from one range trip with muffs only. But hearing is a precious thing and even minor occasional damage is permanent and builds up. Always go over the top with earpro.
>>65421280>grip not grippy enough
>>65421429Oh man that’s rough.. especially for my Gen 2. Honestly got me over here wondering if maybe I should’ve just went with a beretta or something.
>>65421440the opposite, to make it less grippy.now that I have butchered it with a file and dremel, I might as well start grinding off all the texture.
>>6542146752.5 ounces loaded. Now this is quite a mean machine now I kind of don’t like how sluggish target transitions feel
>>65421477That looks insanely cool man, can't wait to hear how it shoots
>>65421477what was the weight with polymer
All other guns are lesser guns.
>>65421513this is when I had a tungsten guide rod in the 2011, so more like 44 oz normally.

Debating on pickup a M9FS (actually made in Italy) for $600, should I do it?

>>65419158In some distant future, when I visit some obscure and more or less private gun museum with my grandchildren in deep somewhere, US of A, and I see this piece behind the glass, I'll tell the kids : "I was there when this madlad screwed a red dot mounting plate onto this .22 beretta barrel just for the sake of making few good posts. He did it for us. He really did."
>>65421616you can buy a brand new one (made in the USA) for ~$550 after rebate right now, i got mine new a couple months ago for $490. If you want to replace the plastic parts that come on the new ones that'll be an extra $100.
>>65421617>>65421603That 100% looks like it says "DE8ERT EAGLE" on it.
>>65421609also the gun shoots fine but i noticed the hammer kinda vibrates when it hits the firing pin. does that really matter? (1/8 speed)
>>65421659beretta with ~2k rounds for comparison
>>65421659>>65421664The hammer doesn't rest against the firing pin, it has a spring to pull it back to a pseudo-half-cock position at rest. You can push it forward into the firing pin if you hold the trigger down after a pullBeretta when decocked sits directly against the firing pin extension in the safety/decocker cylinder, or the cylinder itself if the lever is down
>>65421659Normal HK things desu. Just like the ugly mold lines on the hammer.
>>65421696>>65421726based gun wisdom haver
Why hasn't some gun airost gone out and recorded different ammo at different barrel lengths to find the ideal length for popular handguns? Sort of like BBTI but instead of looking up cartridges, you'd look up guns and it'd tell you which barrel length you should buy before you hit diminishing returns.
>>65421280All I see are jew stars.
>>65421778it depends on the load and it's more that ammo companies are making loads for the most popular duty pistols at around 4-4.5 inches. note 13 presumably being reliability and ballistic performance testing
>>65421792Good. I STAND with Israel. I LOVE Israel. I had the chance to do a factory tour of where they make some of the parts for the JDAM guidance kits, I was thinking "that's going to land on a Palestinian or Iranian soon and I got a chub. Holden Bloodfeast is my uncle.
>>65421802Good, move there, savilleman.
>>65421609Nice! Both of my USPs are former cop guns and both were sub $400 when I bought them; back when gun shows actually had good deals. They were both beat to shit

i'm trying to make a decision on a carry gun and i've been trying very hard to shut off the part of my brain that just wants to buy based off vibes and looks like i usually do cause i'm a hipster fag.Been looking at the M&P line because i don't like Glock grip angles and i despise plastic sights even if they're easy to upgrade. What do you guys think as far as M&P 2.0 Compact vs. Shield Plus vs. Shield X as far as decisions?

>>65422059I really like those wide grooves with thin ridges on those serrations.
>>65421925>Watch them make it illegal again before I can get around to it.I cant get back down to florida until november. May miss out on a NFA SBR which is the only way ill do one since i travel for work every 3 months and dont ever wana have to inform the atf before travel.>>65421971Haven't shot the shield x but the other two are both great options. The shield plus is what I would reccomend between the two if you are already an expirenced handgun shooter. If not micro compacts like the shield plus are really difficult to learn on if you don't have good fundementals already. If you don't shoot 300+ rounds a month through your handguns or never have then I'd reccomend the compact 2.0. The compact is a tremendous option especially with the apex trigger upgrade. Pic rel the m&p is great, dudes got another 100k rounds through this gun since that was posted and still no failures.What was your whimsical gun pick you were considering? A gun you love you will practice with more making you a better shooter than you would be with a "better" gun you hate do never take to the range
Five seconds for a critical strike at a distance of 50 yards without an optic. First attempt was on the left target: two rounds, zero hits. Second attempt: two rounds, one (1) middling strike. >>65418926>>65419902This makes me feel better.
>>65422098thanks for the info, so the M&P 2.0 Compact is the one in the pic? Just want to clarify. as for your question my only pistol is my Springfield Garrison which has XS night sights and a trigger upgrade, i'm too lazy to post a pic of it but its a beauty and shoots dead on. However, I think carrying it just seems like a terrible idea, I haven't tried yet of course because my state is gay and requires me to take a 16hr course to get a CCL license. Which I obviously intend to do but I wanna try to get something respectable to carry first.
>>65421228>>Afraid of feeling something?Yeah. Mostly disappointment and regret.
>>65422111The one in the pic is the full size m&p 2.0. Do you have a rental range by you? You should be able to try out both the M&P and see which you shoot best and prefer
I finally got out to the range, bros, and I'm a terrible shot. I took a few guns including my M9A1 for the first time and a S&W Model 29. I was anticipating and flinching almost the whole time. My good groups were about the size of a big orange with my bad groups being the size of a small dinner plate. I was drenched in sweat the whole time, and my grip was breaking down after only a few rounds. I would set my gun down sometimes just to reset. I think I did better with my .44 and scored a decent amount of bullseyes, and my double action pull on my Beretta was better than my single action shots. I think I might get a membership at this place because it's super nice, and I need a ton of practice. There was an old guy in the lane next to me shooting super tight groups. gotta be like him.Oh, also the roll pin in the safety/decocker on the M9 kept starting to come out. I had to smush it back in a few times.
>>65421410>trade in Gen 2How does it shoot, anon? Last year, I replaced the slide spring on my 17.3 with a 20-pounder and never looked back
i heard JaredAF posts here
>>65422149>Oh, also the roll pin in the safety/decocker on the M9 kept starting to come out. I had to smush it back in a few times.yeah if that comes out it's bad. I saw that on another guy's gun. either the hole is too big or the rollpin is too small. Try getting a new rollpin first and see if you need to go up a size if possible >I was anticipating and flinching almost the whole time. My good groups were about the size of a big orange with my bad groups being the size of a small dinner plate. I was drenched in sweat the whole time, and my grip was breaking down after only a few rounds. I would set my gun down sometimes just to reset. I think I did better with my .44 and scored a decent amount of bullseyes, and my double action pull on my Beretta was better than my single actionRecoil flinch/anticipation is natural and everyone had to fight it, a explosion is happening in front of your face, just getting to the range regularly and getting your live fire reps in will work you through it. Dry firing also helps immensely for this. Dry fire your M9A1 in both SA and DA. Same with your revolver. Learn how to pull the trigger without disturbing the sights. I don't know if this will help, but think about what you do after the shot, try this drill. You don't really need a timer until you get super serious but the goal is .25 seconds to fire and then return the sight back to the target. https://youtu.be/8H80DSPOZzo>>654221991 or two posts, he's a retarded dickhead. fuck him. this is a Ben Stoeger general.
>>65422205Ben can fuck off with his personal opinions, frankly. I respect his skills as a shooter and instructor, but in all other ways he's your borderline retarded uncle. Jared's a better watch

>>65422205Thanks, bro. I'll get another roll pin. I really wanted to keep this gun totally factory because I want to pick up any Beretta and shred with it, but maybe I'll replace the plastic parts with metal. I've been dry firing it a ton, and I think it's made my finger stronger. I used to hate my M29 trigger, but now I'm in love with it after all the M9 dry firing.I'll definitely try that drill.

>>65422253Also, the goal is to bring the muzzle back to the target. Don’t dip it below the target, you want to bring it back to the POA smoothly but don’t over shoot. You want your gun to be the purple response. Not over or under damped
>>65422250Yes
>>65422279roger that
>>65422041No idea of round count when I got them. But yes, first thing i did was replaced the springs. Wolff springs.Here's an old pic>>65421959Lol get fucked fudd
>>65422257>>6542225917L is based, best looking glock.everyone i've had shoot this gun loves it.

>missed out on the $450 Sig P226 .40 S&W trade-ins on Aimsurplus I might as well kms.
>>65422199He's a fag.
>>65422764>missed out>on .40Only women and brown people should be allowed to buy .40 Soft and Weak. Real men just buy 10MM
i joined GOA todaywhen do i get my free supressor
>>65422764For me its .40sw guns built from the ground up to be in that caliber, not 9mm converted afterthoughts yes im specifically praising the USP
>>65421696Why would somebody want to get rid of the decocker function if when decocked the hammer is just sitting on the firing pin? This makes me want to carry my p226 now
>>65422764God hop looks like that one freak who did the doc about Michael Jackson being a didler. Forget his name but he did a really fucking embarrassing show in Good Morning America
>>65421477I used to carry a .40 s/w 4006 that weighed 52oz loaded. picrel but with a TLR1. Never had a problem with that weight but I had concern working under cars as I didn't want it to drag on the concrete. Carry a PX4 now
>>65423397the pin rotates away when the safety is on, get a beretta
>>65422043It is done.
>>65423403he’s apparently like 6’4” which makes this picture even more terrifying
>>65423397Who said anything about getting rid of the decocker? I ASSume you're wedging in here a complaint against the SAO 92s, which is an irrelevant one because those, like all 92s since the B, have firing pin blocks and it wouldn't matter if the hammer did sit against the firing pin without the safety or decocker engaged
>>65423071Women and brown people have 9mm, they enjoy minor pf.
>>65423071.40 is the thinking man’s cartridge
>>65423712Bro I can literally tell that you punched those holes with a pen.
>>65423716I am an artist and this is my pen
>>65423716I'll punch your hole with my pen
