Where can I get a decent cco? Why is this so hard, they were all over the place 10 years ago.

>>64104980
I bought a Dan Wesson one and it was crap since the .45 Ramped (RAMPED) barrel in it couldn’t feed JHP from any magazine I tried. Even struggled with ball

Will revolvers ever go out of style?

>>64105001
No, they just work

>>64104988
I've heard that before on here, might even have been from you. What I always wanted was the now discontinued Springfield RO compact. It wasn't quite a true cco because it had a 4 inch barrel rather than 4.25, but man it looked handy.

>>64105001
No, but the older ones look way better and that isn't just boomer fuddism

>>64104975 (OP)
there's a part of me glad it's going for more than just "cheap" since I've never seen one of these for sale ever.

>>64105128
anon-san...

the model 66 has the two piece barrel system that made revolver boomers shit their pants in rage against S&W

but yeah that looks sick. Maybe even some fixed rear combat sights and it would be perfect

Posting hand gun

>>64105111
Yeah, I’ve warmed up a lot on the 4 inch vs the 4.25 inch barrel considering one of my favorite guns is the Wilson Elite Professional 4”. It could have been me but I’ve heard it from other people, apparently the Springfield Garrison Commander uses a ramped barrel in .45

I’ve seen Springfield 4” compacts on gunbroker, even some that seem to have custom work on them. There’s a Wilson Stealth for 2.5k that’s a 4” wafered bull barrel like I have on my Elite Professional

>>64105176
Aside from aesthetics (which I don't really mind here) what's wrong with the two piece barrel? And how the hell can you even remove it? Say I had an older 2.5" barrel I wanted to install. Are the frames compatible?

>>64105133
always got a weird vibe from him but his explanation on how he grips the gun definitely helped me when i first started shooting

>shows how small our sport really is

this could happen no matter the size of competitive shooting

>>64105214
The Wilson stealth is above my pay grade but I'll keep an eye on gb

>>64105237
There is an outer jacket and the inner barrel. It was a “cheapening” thing since now clocking the entire barrel doesn’t matter, you just install the inner piece and then you just need to clock the outer shroud with the front sight.

The issues would be the front sight is no longer attached to the barrel. And you can’t really trust S&W to clock the outer jacket correctly. They really don’t make them like they used to.

Practically there is no problem, just that boomers hated it

don't let your dreams be dreams! make your own grips!

alright, I'm a little jelly

Can't believe I got aim mogged with my own 509c...

Px4 anon, after shooting Lancaster Anons Px4 compact I get it. The gun still doesn't really fit my hands but I shot my best groups of the day with it and the thing shoots so soft it's unreasonable.

Had a great time lancaster anon I'll shoot you a text tomorrow with those polish recommendations.

>>64105566
Whoops wrong groups, those are a mix of hi point 10mm, arex, px4, berretta 92 all kinds of stuff. The small diamond groups were my px4 groups.

Left group lancaster anon, right group me. Geez ya buy a guy lunch and he still shows you up with your own gun. Unbelievable this guy I tell ya.

I am not a good shot with this at all but It's funny when shooting at a public range everyone around you stops what they doing after the first shot and comes over to look

>>64105580
Aw fuck yeah, based gun in the woods photo enjoyer. I sold and miss my Kimber, it might have been a mid 1911 but I liked it.

>>64105604
Reminds me of this picture of my cheap ass Taurus and Model 29. I do have my Model 29 and Model 10 in a S&W case just like that but it’s in my truck and I don’t feel like getting it.

The new gun itch is hitting hard but I just bought 15k rounds of various assorted calibers with my summer bonus.

>>64105898
I know what you mean, I just bought another 686 and have been looking at a bunch of other guns I dont need.

>>64105001
Style?
Maybe.
Practicality?
Nah.
Revolvers offer substantially more power in the same size package as semi auto handguns because the revolver is not gated by grip dimensions so the case can be longer and larger.

>>64104975 (OP)
26 or 43 ? Xs do not apply.

>>64105898
i should be getting good with what i've got but i want something new and shiny

thinking of trading in my G19 and my CZ75 compact for one of these, are they any good?

>>64105566
>>64105573
Hey man, I had a fantastic time! Definitely hit me up whenever you're in the area and I'm definitely paying for lunch this time. And yeah I'll text you my hot spots for Austria.

I'm very grateful I was able to shoot THE legendary 509c and I think we all need a woman in our life like the 10mm Hi Point: Thick, American, and keeps us on our toes.

Finally decided to build a glock. Are there any good aftermarket slides, or should I just go for an OEM?

Why not just get a Tisas?

>>64106213
That uh, doesn't seem like a good deal, especially since the cz is worth as much or more than the Springfield.
Sell your glock if you really don't care for it tho.
Their customer service is better than tisas so if you do get a lemon you can probably get it fixed.

All right, but why is there a lens cover on your lanyard flashlight

>>64107284
You can flip it over it and it lets out only red light. Like a map reading light that you can use at night and it won't affect your vision in the field.

>>64105379
> t. Pedophile

>>64107233
And nobody has made a video of a mimfield shitting the bed? There's probably plenty of videos of nearly every type of gun out there having a catastrophic failure or parts breakage. I'm not advocating for one gun over the other because I've had nothing but negative experiences with ANY 1911, but I wouldn't base my decision or opinions on one, or even a few jewtube videos. I've only shot a tisas (or might have been a girsan, no idea) once at a range, and while the slide was tight, it wasn't any tighter than any high end 1911 I've shot wherein the owner literally had to fucking hone the rails to get the thing to work reliably.

>>64107284
It makes the light much dimmer by the way, but you can see normally in the darkness with it on. Otherwise a flashlight fucks up your vision at night.

>>64107294
>>64107336
Cheers

>>64107348
"Red light is less disruptive to night vision because it doesn't readily activate the rhodopsin in the rods of the eye, which are the cells responsible for vision in low-light conditions. While other colors of light cause rhodopsin to decay, leading to a loss of night vision sensitivity, red light has a minimal impact on this process, allowing your eyes to maintain their dark adaptation."

>>64107318
Tisas and Springfield Armory are both terrible brands, I only chimed in to inform anon that there is no budget alternative be it flip or roach

>>64105328
Looks 12 above the waist line and 30 below it. Either commit to the bit or don't bother at all, no half-measures

>>64107380
That explains the red lens but what's the deal with the blue

>>64107407
Fuck your rods, we goin cone mode

>>64107407
I guess it needs both to filter the light? Because that lens on my Surefire looks red or blue depending on the angle you look at it, but I could be wrong.

>>64107419
>>64107424
Dig up those field manuals, we have ourselves a mystery to solve

>>64107407
Apparently the blue does the same thing but is better in some applications.

>>64107454
But which one is NIR compliant

>>64107468
Red, blue is for maps, reading old military meters and dials and if night vision isnt in use.

>>64107454
>>64107485
"While blue light doesn't preserve night vision as well as red light, it offers better visibility for tasks like map reading and identifying specific objects or materials."

Never heard of blue light being used before. The more you know.

>>64107501
Apparently, there's white lenses too. Seems redundant but I'm not able to confirm one way or the other

>>64107579
The white looks translucent, Id wager its for toning down the light. Having used one of these lights before I understand why everyone who could just got a C/D cell.Maglite.

>>64107585
>C/D cell.Maglite
In the time of Chinese thermals amongst Chinese drones and insurgent MG teams, we might be the final generation to remember why

>>64107407
>>64107454
Could be bullshit but I heard blue makes blood stand out at night for medics.

>>64107718
Saw that explanation too but it was on reddit so it leaves me pause as well

>>64107718
Blue light is actually to make nightguards less sleepy

>>64107718
I do know it sucks ass trying to read dials and maps with red light only too.

Who the fuck uses patches and individual chemicals? Cotton T-shirts and a 5-10 minute CLP soak is just as good

>>64107132
wrong
>>64107233
the guy himself said he recommends it still. my tisas has 1,400 rounds on it currently and is working great. didn't watch the whole video to see what the problem was, though I doubt it's any worse than the problems main stream American made 1911's have

>>64107764
Its easy to be a cleaning supply mark if you don't shoot often. I fell into the same trap until I realized all I need is clp rags and q tips.

>>64105328
I bought some of that clear skateboard tape to make sweetheart grips for my PX4 but I can’t think of any design that would look good since my gun is two tone

>doubt it's any worse than the problems main stream American made
Yeah, 1911's in general are finicky. They might have seen real use in the Great War and Vietnam, but its purpose in the Second World War was assuredly to make officers feel in charge

>>64107871
>Yeah, 1911's in general are finicky.

This is a statement made by someone who doesn’t understand the mechanics and can’t be bothered to learn so they put it up to being “finicky”.

>>64107893
>200-round break ins are a feature, not a bug!

>>64107914
Just wait til you're told about the 1500 round break-in period of a Kimber with a straight face

>>64107914
Only guns with break in’s are tightly fitted guns. Nobody is talking about break ins here.

>>64107929
My Micro 9 thankfully didn't need any breakin from what I can tell, only downside is I cant shoot the cheapo turkshit with hard primers.

>>64107930
I would hope the techs doing the fitting are the ones who know most about 1911 mechanics

>>64107937

>>64107914
admittedly I had to replace the slide stop as it didn't hold open on an empty mag (from brand new right out of the box). Apart from that there was no break-in period or issues

>>64107954
>ultra
Sorry, anon but this is an X-300 Turbo general

>>64107952
>striker spring

If the gun isn’t tightly fit there is no break in. It either works or it doesn’t.

If that's what happened then I want that guy who shot him to be given the book and shoved up his ass

Even when I asked you guys for a qrd on the P320, I was told that it fired while it was laying on a table. Not it turns out that it was an ND? Really makes you think how the fake news media runs with anything, even if their story is false, because it's all about ratings and ad revenue like youtube grifters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZggCipbiHwE

>>64106213
>are they any good?
No, Springfield Armory makes their 1911 frames out of castings from Brazil. The only decent entry level American made 1911's that are truly American made these days are Auto Ordnance BKO and unironically the 1911's that Ruger offers. Ruger has their own casting factory so at least they aren't buying blanks from fucking Brazil.

Also, the springfield is monetarily worth less than your proposed trade anyways.

>>64108461
Did you crawl out from under a rock

Springfield now uses “US” frames but I do remember a rumor of them being South Korean

>>64108201
>>64108336
Have you heard about that one councilman in Colorado who blasted some teen in the face? He plead "not guilty" and blaming the P320 is his defense strategy lmao
https://youtu.be/T-K2371P30c?t=44

>>64108336
We told you the information on hand, which was repeated accurately even if the information was not accurate. The p320 can fire in a holster when being set down on a table, or per the FBI report while on your hip performing actions expected of an officer during duty like jumping, adjusting their hips, or running. The reason everyone believed the story is because it's believable, and repeatable

>>64108537
>The p320 can fire in a holster when being set down on a table

Oh damn literally nothing at all?

>>64108577

>>64108594
>source: the cunts on twitter who spent the last month saying an airman was magically shot by a pistol he set down facing his own chest

>>64108629
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in support of the Michigan State Police determined under certain circumstances and part failures the P320 can fire uncommanded. This report came out PRIOR to the airman’s death.

There is literally NOTHING in that article that supports your ridiculous claim. To the contrary they literally state there's no evidence it happened and that there is evidence something got into the holster next to the trigger. They gloss over this as though it's not relevant which throws this laughable evaluation into the dumpster.

>>64108720
>>64108758

>>64108694
I do not like how you just left out the rest of the conclusion where they discovered circumstances of it going off and the internal safety failing. Which is inline with every documented event happening when the officer is moving. There’s video of the gun going off while in a holster.

>>64108824
>>64108860
I guess you didn't read this part where they said this is not what actually happened, and that they had a second guy with a dental pick literally pushing the sear off the striker which is an impossible occurrence. They're essentially pulling the trigger. And they had to do this FIFTY TIMES, repeatedly peening new damage into the firing pin block until it was so deformed that it could allow the gun to fire ONE primer out of nine that it touched.

>>64108867
Yeah and they got a second gun and it worked second time retard. The gun never goes off when the officer is standing there “crisscross apple sauce” but moving or getting out of a car. We have documented videos of the gun going off in the holster. This FBI report identified internal safeties CAN fail.

Post guns

Rate my EDC, it may seem familiar because I posted a similar image with an M9 a few threads ago, I have since switched to this M1911.

>>64108912
Where is your mirror to peak around corners?

>all that P320 cope
Official gun of dying for Israel. If you have a choice in the matter, avoid having one.

>>64108914
I know your joking but that's actually a good Idea.

>>64108867
I dont think you understand what they were testing

If the sear fails, which it can with enough inertia because of sig's glock-like tolerances, the striker block is supposed to prevent the gun from firing. Unconditionally. AT NO POINT, SHOULD THE STRIKER CONTACT THE PRIMER UNLESS THE TRIGGER IS MOVED SO FAR BACK, IT MAY AS WELL BE PULLED, EVEN IF ALL OTHER MECHANISMS FAILED. That is the point of a striker block.

ALL sear/hammer or sear/striker engagements can and do fail eventually with wear and tear. It's just metal catching on a ledge. These tests indicate the fallback safety in the p320 is not reliable and mere inertia can cause the entire gun to fail at once.

>inb4 "these __ guns fired without pulling the trigger"
I notice that video hasn't been posted too often since an anon pointed out, with timestamps, where he pulled back on the vice he was using to engage the trigger

Are Fusion 1911 also some foreign blank?

>>64109458
No idea but I know they sell Turkish guns like their XP pro 2011 Glock mag thing (which feels really nice in the hand, not great to look at) and shotguns. They also got themselves as the importer of LPA sights from Italy(?).

Anyone else snagging one of these?
$200 seems pretty good...

>>64109478
According to ppanon, the beretta 1934 is the preferred pistol of femboys. Hopefully they all shot themselves when they hit the wall.

If you have one you have to put Gwen Tennyson sweetheart grips on them or people will think you’re gay. Otherwise you have to hide the gun in the closet so people will never know.

>>64107407
Idk, when I was infantry from 2014 to 2018 we never used blue. I suspect it might be because on old topographic maps, they would sometimes have a certain lines drawn in red. Which you can't see under red light. They changed them to brown lines on modern maps but milspec is milspec so that might be why you still see the blue lens cover. Also those flashlights are dogshit, never buy one.

Some things that weren't clear from other sources
- Reticle is selectable, circle+dot, circle, or dot
- Bezel looks thick but it tapers out towards the front like an MRO so its not that bad (still thicc)
- Date of manufacture June 30 2025 so these things likely just hit the market

My Glock rear sight is walking off, do you guys have a specific brand you use for sight pushing tools? I was looking at a few on Amazon but kept seeing photos of them breaking in the reviews.

It's not the OEM sight.

4x4Machine is the one I recommend because it's cheap (was $65), extremely robust and very powerful. But the original guy stopped making them I guess, all you can find are chinese copies on ebay and amazon now. But they're half what he charged and I don't see how chinks could fuck up a yuge chunk of 6000 series aluminum. No experience with the copies but the design (pre-chineseum materials) is very solid. No affiliation or experience with these exact units

Smart, I use cut up blister packs and credit cards to protect the slide and sight, or even paper. Haven't marred anything yet!

>>64109852
I fucked up my soft plastic sights doing this with a Glock, so don’t, it literally cost me $100 to replace them with metal ones.


I’ve also dropped a 26 directly on the stock sights on concrete and grated them to half height, rest of the gun was fine.

>>64109852
Can I do this with my sig?

If you could only own one revolver, which would it be and what would it be chambered in?

>>64109935
Colt python 6”

>>64109935
a convertible 357/9mm blackhawk. I can still plink cheaply and I can also use magnums.

>>64109935
I’ve been thinking about a .45 ACP/Super revolver concept. But as soon as you bring up reloading it makes more sense to use .45 long Colt or anything else. Another thing is that it’ll likely have a long chamber, a purpose made .45 ACP revolver could have a shorter chamber a frame like the Korth Sky Marshal 9mm.

>>64109907
yes, just make sure that there's another person to blame in the room in case the gun nd and kills you.
>>64109872
I unironically did it with a hammer and a PTFE rod I made at a lathe, while holding the slide with a clamp.

I’m surprised they haven’t offered it for Glocks since they took shots at Glock by calling their pistol “American Perfection” and putting their booth right next to Glock’s at shitshow. They also had some marketing where a guy shooting a Glock, looks dejected, picks up a Staccato HD and shoots faster and happier.

They could easily take the Glocks and sell them since they hold value well

Fucked up the resolution so I recaptured snippets from the unclassified M1911 film. Watching it again gives me a chuckle.

in this case it was at night, he was sleeping his buddy was supposed to be keeping watch but must have dozed off too, woke up to the sound of his buddy's getting stabbed and barely had time to figure out what the fuck was going on before he was face to face with a chink with a large knife. His arm got cut up pretty bad as they fought for it until he managed to grab his 1911 and put three in his gut, before it jammed and he pistol whipped him the rest of the way dead. Said that was by far the closest to death he had ever come.

>>64110720
Army?

>>64110722
Marines, not sure what unit. That story was told to me second hand as he died when I was 8 and I never met him irl. He had ptsd so bad both his wives left him and he died a drunk.

Remember, report all off topic posts and refrain from replying. The troon is trying to pad out replies for his troll thread.

>>64110732
Ah, I was asking since the USMC the night of the attack was on alert due to their intelligence reports while the Army unit nearby did not know of an impeding attack. Army politics wanted the smaller Army unit to push further than the Marines and reach the Yalu river (China’s border) first. There was a split chain of command where the Army answered to a yes man with no combat experience under Dugout Doug and the Marines were commanded by a decorated veteran. Got a lot of armymen killed no good reason. The Army only survived since they had a platoon and half of M16 quad .50 cal half tracks and a platoon (4) M19 dual 40mm bofors AA guns. The book I read had an accounts of the surviving gunners just putting quad .50 cals to bore on a wall of chinamen. The 40mm bofors vaporizing a dozen of them in a single burst. Until they ran out of ammo before they ran out of chinks.

Either Army or Marines it was some of the harshest fighting the U.S. military has ever seen. For the Marines it was a crowning accomplishment and for the Army it was a part of their history they want to keep quiet.

>>64110758
I'm not sure if the foxhole indecent was at chosin or not, but he was there and earned the bronze star because he picked up his (I'm guessing .30 cal or would it be a .50?) and had to fire it from the hip. He got wounded in the same engagement and took bullets to his legs. After the breakout he was rotated home.

>>64110769
either an aircooled M1919A6 or a watercooled M1917. The marines were still using the watercooled M1917, in the cold weather they had to keep the water jacket from freezing so they would have to shoot every so often, I remember one case guys getting up and exposing themselves to piss on it rather than give away the position of the MG

>>64110640
>General S.L.A. Marshall, in his authoritative book “Battlefield Analysis of Infantry Weapons—Korean War,” states the following regarding the M1911A1 pistol: “There are numerous examples in the record of the service pistol being used with killing effect at 10-25 yards range in perimeter defense when the firer had no other weapon. In fact, there are more such instances in the Korean operations than were to be found in all company studies made during World War II.”

Well there's ones for sale in the low 300s, probably 350 after fees and shipping. But I bet if you watched the 'broker patiently for a while you could win a bid for one in the 200s

>>64110690
>>64112121
Oh also EGW has good new barrel links that you should replace the factory one with probably right away. Buy a new inertial firing pin while you're at it.

>>64111770
The airman's a homicide case, byeah the P320 isn't recovering from the 109 LE expulsions

>>64112175
The homicide case opened the P320 up to gun autists that found that the P320 saftey system can be easily defeated by a touching the trigger and fucking with the slide. Compared to other strikers that require defeating the trigger saftey and pulling it all the way to near 90 degrees in order to defeat the safeties.

>>64111770
The P320 has been declining since the p365 got released. It's clear that SIG has been trying to brush the P320 under the rug since then

Honestly Sig should just give in and make P365 xmacro or whatever full size version their main duty pistol. 40 and 357 Sig are essentially already dead, duty users stick to 9mm, those who want more power just go 10mm or 45.

>>64112277
The problem is that there are a billion 320s out there and if they admit fault they will get sued for a gorillion dollars.

>>64112211
>P320 saftey system can be easily defeated by a touching the trigger and fucking with the slide
So like being pressed and jostled inside a holster?

>>64112096
So powerful that it gets filtered by light barriers

>>64112334
Exactly, that whole Wyoming gun video and multiple videos like it showed that even slightly touching the trigger can defeat the safeties. SIG in unironically sold people a finicky race gun and told everyone that it's for duty,expect unlike staccato it was built by jeets.

Jostle is not a word that was used here before this marketing campaign.

>>64112424
The amount the trigger needed to be touched is so slight that the same result could be achieved by out of spec parts or wear. The 320 is a fucked gun. They went with MIM for something that has sub-millimeter tolerances separating it from being safe or blowing your sack off.

>>64112424
Gonna have to rewatch Sig Mechanic's video and check how much trigger displacement it takes to rotate the safety sear

>>64112426
That's because jostling a holstered pistol wasn't a death sentence until the P320

I would hope someone carrying 45 in 2025 is carrying +p and not some 21k psi load like its the year 1911

>>64112534
Lucky Gunner’s test showed that +P loads out of shorter barrels don’t actually give .45 ACP any appreciable velocity increase.

>>64112542
So other than suppressing, what's it even good at

>>64112589
Americans have been carrying .45 sidearms since the advent of repeating pistols. .44 caliber revolvers at the time were often shooting .458 caliber balls. It was a .44 (.45) caliber revolver that gave the Americans the edge in the west to defeat the Indians and Mexicans. The Army once adopted a .38 and as soon as they saw combat they immediately wanted their .45s back. Over 55 Medal of Honors were won with .45 caliber guns in hand.

>>64112649
All those loads are inferior ballistically to 9mm NATO loads the military currently uses. The primary handgun users in law enforcement also have come to similiar conclusions about calibers, a spicy 9mm is the meta.

>>64112668
They aren’t. 9mm being superior to .45 is 100% of the finest copium.

>law enforcement
They’re more interested in allowing their female officers be able to qualify after several tries then actually carry effective calibers

>>64112649
You don't get a MOH for removing race rioters or black blocs but 9x19 accounts for the majority of their deletions

>>64112695
9mm takes out grizzlies these days boomer. Also .40 was the compromise and 9mm +p blew it out of the water. This is my last post to you, you already know the ballistic statistics showing .45 to not be worth the drop in capacity, I wont bother wasting any more time.

I'm in a cuck state and have enough of a man bod to carry guns larger than a p365 so the 9mm capacity advantage is irrelevant to me

.45 finally wins

>>64112712
>9mm +P blew it out of the water
lol

.40 has better penetration, better expansion, and better barrier penetration. Its higher weight projectiles deflect less through flesh and barriers. There’s .40 loads that expand to .90.

>>64112695
We higher antimony lead cores in 2025

>>64112733
We hire alimony lead cores? Yeah we hire dumbshit women as police officers in 2025 still

Yeah thats why I dont bother engaging in caliber arguments. Its like talking to a retard with chatgpt feeding their delusions with anecdotes.

>>64112729
>>64112740
???

45 Super > 9MM lmoa

>>64112777
What if we next down .45 Super to 9mm? .40 super is .45 necked down to .40 caliber and it’s performance is insane

The more people argue about stoppan powa, the more I want a .380.

What were the test parameters on these?
The stats aren't consistent with other gel tests I've seen for some of these 9mm loadings, and everydaynodaysoff.com is defunct now

>>64112861
And then every time one of you complains they're busted with 2 TB of CSAM

Going by bbti, .357 magnum seems the best you can get out of a 3 or 4" barrel. .44 Magnum doesn't seem to provide a big enough boost for the added recoil. But maybe I'm looking at it wrong.

>>64112855
Hell yeah brother

>>64112862
From what I remember a lot of those are taken from manufacturer marketing sheets. Gold dots tests were through a variety of different guns, like the .45s were either P220s or Glock 21s. The 9mms through P226s and stuff.

Like Winchester Ranger T sucks in that chart compared to HST, it performs much better in Lucky Gunner’s test where it out performs HST. I don’t think anything is really trustworthy, mythology and legends make more sense to me.

>>64112878
BBTI isn’t really trustworthy since particular guns can change muzzle velocity depending on rifling, cylinder gap, etc.

Buffalo Bore warns against driving the slide to load the chamber
https://youtu.be/RFpg12fajE8?t=120
Is that a 1911 thing or this going to be an issue with automatics in general?

>>64112892
All autos.

Depending on the round, the load, case setback can significantly increase the pressure in the case. .40 S&W had a huge problem with this with 180 gr reloads and cheaply made ammo.

>>64112892
Fuddlore, on a 1911 especially if you're using jhps you need the slide to haul ass a bit or you risk smooshing the bullet into the casing. Automatics are designed for their slides to move with a lot of force.

>>64112912
Range ammo, sure but carry ammo has the canellure to prevent setback

I fell for the micro compact meme as a first-time gun buyer awhile ago and bought a Ruger Max 9. It's an okay gun I suppose, but I don't like how snappy it is. It makes me not want to shoot it, so I haven't been to the range with it in a few months.
I was thinking about selling it or trading it in for something else, preferably full size, in the same price range. Looking at a Ruger P95 but I'm open to other options.
>inb4 just shoot more, faggot

>>64112927
Its more of a "resists setback" feature. Ive tossed some jhps I cycled a lot in my carry before due to obvious setbacks.

>>64112937
A full size DA/SA revolver will help you enjoy shooting smaller guns again. Smith, Ruger, Colt, any US made .357 magnum 6" will do.

Both. I want something I can use for home defense or carry that I won't dread to practice with

>>64112878
A 4 in barreled revolver will also handle best too, I have a GP100 MC with a 4.25 and it just feels like sex in your hand, perfect balance and weight distribution while being still a full size but carry-able gun.

That's why the BBTI data is more reliable than anything else - their tests were from barrels that eliminate all those variables. And that's why they also provide data from a number of examples of regular firearms.

I'm gonna be that guy and recommend the PX-4 Compact in 9mm. Easy as hell to conceal, the DA makes carrying worry free and it shoots soft as a big full size metal gun. Perfect for new shooters and experienced ones alike. There's a reason it's shilled so hard here.
