No surprises here.

>>64129369 (OP)
you're out with your hypothetical girlfriend and some punk tries to mug you with a pocket knife. now you're a noob so condition 3 is your status and he's a few feet away, but at least it's a steel frame gun so you can throw it at him. can't do that with a glock

Gentlemen, I present to you, the Baja Blaster.

>>64129454
you are going to properly fit those sights right?

Another thread, another chance for anon to redeem themselves.

What gun is everyone looking to get? I'm tempted to snag this Gen 2 Glock 19 and Anon recommended to me. It has the old finish and AWB mags

>>64129615
>AWB mags
Good for the range and practicing reloads. Also good for getting used to counting rounds, which I'm bad at still.

>>64129615
Been looking for one those, thanks. Gonna bid it up to $500, that's all my wife's boyfriend allows me to spend on guns in a month.

10 yards for the top 3, 15 yards for the rest. I flipped the target so im pulling left for all of them. Bottom right may be my best shooting ever, this is the only target I haven't just immediately thrown away. What's the next step to improve here? I am always just slightly left

>>64129730
How much formal training have you had? I would take a 1 on 1 class to perfect your form and then study dryfire techniques and practice everyday. You have to shed bad habits and build good ones and for the love of Browning don't rush. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

>>64129730
Are your sights just off?

>>64129730
Very nice

I think your sights might just be off, pic related my zero for the red dot is slightly off and in its in ever group being low left. The bottom right target is what I used to zero the gun at 25m, the top group being my first group with the dot

>>64129730
I think your next step is to buy a shot timer and start doing holster drills.

>>64129783
Nah nigga, gotta go fast. Paper targets is where you can miss and correct. It’s all about learning how to get the rounds out of the gun as fast as possible and then learning how to put them where you want them, for learning speed

Got the new 4"
Everything looks good upon 1st inspection

>>64129910
That a bill drill? What did the target look like?

>>64129927
It wasn’t a USPSA target but all “center mass”, majority As. The fastest one I did was this but I was just on paper with this one but pleased with the time to fire 6

>>64129915
I am still floored by the difference in energy between a .357 magnum cartridge out of a 4" barrel vs a 3" barrel.

>>64129915
I have a 4.25" python and I regret it every time I look at it, why didn't I get a 6"

>>64129965
lol, I had the 6" 686 and as soon as I got it regretted not having the 4". Guess its best to get then all.

>>64129511
Checked. It's a little janky as is. The slide started at $120 and I cleaned it up, got some coatings, added a barrel from another P220 and it works. I don't care that the sights aren't perfect. It's a for fun handgun and will ultimately be a safe queen.
Alright Bubbles, what's your handgun of choice?

>>64129976
I'll probably get a smooth cylinder 6" 686 at some point, and put a ridiculous polish job on it

Now THIS is a good thread!

>>64129511
How exactly do you think that works?

>>64129989
>>64129976
>>64129915

These cases any good?

>>64130074

>>64130152
Some people bring guns to the range in a wool sock

>>64130155
Now keep thinking. What happens next?

>>64130131
I've got one of the 5" 686+'s with the half underlug. I thought the same thing but holster for 5" .357s are practically non-existent and using a holster for a 6" one triggers my tism. It is nice in the sense that I think it's the absolute longest I could go while still being able to pull off IWB carry if I want to. Might post a pic of it if there's interest, but it's currently being uglied up by having an RMR on top of it

>>64130213
>but holster for 5" .357s
Ah yeah if you planned to carry it I can see that being an issue, but it's not a consideration for me. All I ever carry is my LCP concealed around town, or a 1911 in an OWB open carry holster if I'm innawoods. My revolvers are basically pure range toys, though I love them for that.

>tape the backstrap pin out with a nylon hammer

why is this plastic so pathetically soft?

>>64130303
It means me,my buddy and landlord are hasguns in a single house.Thats american level of guns lol. I wonder what he got, lets hope sonething else than 22lr

Someone posted this in a different thread but it was honestly interesting: why do people universally recommend the Px4 compact but never full? Assuming they're both LTTs, what would the practical advantages be for a shorter slide?

CSX but fullsize

>>64130342
If you don't know what your Landlord owns then how do you know he has guns?

>>64130349
Because that's one less inch to press on your weiner when you carry it

>>64130349
the compact is an amazing, reliable, soft shooting, and relatively unique compact that has a very specialized aftermarket that can upgrade it to be one of the best compact guns in the market

the full size is a cringe ass excuse for a duty pistol and you're better off buying one of a hundred thousand other more reliable and better supported pistols

The design peaks at compact, if you're gonna go full size you might as well just buy something better.

>>64130332
What gun? Most manufacturers are still fucking up polymers in 2025. As far as I can tell only Magpul and Glock have gotten it right.

>>64130349
I feel the compact recoils better

>>64130349
The compact is appealing because it shoots like a fullsize heavy metal gun but it's a compact polymer pistol. The fullsize PX4 doesn't really have a niche.

>>64130152
For what? The range? You don't need or want a hard case for that. It's too shitty and small for TSA travel also

Get yourself some $5 pistol softcases from bass pro and a $15 harbor freight semirigid tool bag

>>64130349
the compact looks good and for some reason the full-size doesn't.

>>64130469
>>64130456
Okay but it's literally less than an inch and the entire pistol is basically mechanically identical, right? It feels like there's some magical thinking going on where a pistol isn't considered "duty" because the slide was an inch smaller?

>>64130349
Bait

>>64130595
A big mac and a kids meal are only a dollar apart but they have two different purposes

>>64130595
I don't know man. I have both and literally shoot both side by side and the compact is better for me

I don't have any new hgs worth sharing, but I did look at a Kimber Micro in .380 and a SW BG 2 in .380 today. I liked them both, the Kimber was much heavier, some kind of lmited editon in bronze chrome. I would unironically buy both.

>>64130849

Don't waste you time with silver. Silver is for the poors. Stack gold. It doubled in price in the past 5 years. It was about $300 per once 25 years ago. Think about much our money depreciated over that time.

From last thread:
>>64126481
I am very interested in a .45 2011 with a traditional look, but I don't want to pay $5K for it. Turkish gunmakers are going to totally take over the budget 2011 market once they get their shit together. I have a Tisas 2011 and I like the fact that it looks somewhat like a traditional 1911. I'm not saying anything bad about the spacegun looking 2011s; it's just not my style. If Tisas made one in .45, that would be a shut up and take my money kinda deal. I am eyeing up the Girsan 2311 hard. I might buy that for myself as a Christmas present. Next cheapset option is the Kimber 2k11, but it's a Kimber.

>>64130381
Make it a .45 doublestack, and I am in.

>>64130883
If they made IWB holsters for this retardation I'd carry one just because I'd be a legend if I ever had to use it in defense and they showed my gun on TV.

>>64130935
Ben Memeger says the Kimber 2k11 is actually good aside from poor grip texture, a sharp safety, and a shitty C&H plate. Kimber is already addressing the safety and there might be tape options out for the grip already, so it's really just the shitass plate holding it back.

>>64130155

Ernest Langdon is the only reason the px4 series is still relevant. He originally wanted to find a DA alternative to the g19, so the compact is what he focused on.

The px4 was designed around the .40 so the compact used a .40 barrel and I think the full size used a 9mm barrel with less mass. Recently, Beretta and Langdon released the px4 G-SD full size model, which uses a similar 9mm bull barrel to the compact. It's supposed to be the softest shooting model.

>>64131148
It's a great gun that will do most anything you need it to do.

>>64131172
Also, you put all this stuff on it and I'm sure it shoots super soft.

It's perfect...

Fusion Firearms “match grade bull barrel” was drop in fit on this Springfield Operator slide

>>64131187
I have one and I didn’t really see a difference between the normal full-size. The compact cycles faster and more aggressively which is what I might like more

>>64131150
Almost forgot to mention: Strong side IWB

>>64131182
Points to the 239
>you can't find a lot of slim DA/SA 9mm's
>some consumable parts/springs and sights are shared with other sigs and are still available
>it's been pretty reliable
>mags are slim/easy to comfortably carry a spare

8rds should be enough and I live in a ban state anyway.

Got an extended 7rd mag for my 380 Manurhin. This brings it up to the usual 32 PPK count

>>64131318
Right before lunch, but my area is absolutely infested with hoverflies so I only got about 100 rounds in before packing up.

Posting gun. Question, if you had the ability to get the p8 a1 or a usp 45whivh would you get?

>>64131608
>>64131608
P8 is a novelty, the safety works the wrong direction. It’s just a 9mm.

USP .45 is a forty five, the caliber that won the west, the caliber that won two world wars, the caliber that more than 55 medal of honors were won with.

>>64131617
Okay, in that case, is a usp 45c worth it compared to a 45 full sized

>>64131642
Don't buy a USP in .45, get a USPc in 9mm.

Retard.

>>64132525
I have a px4 compact and subcompact. I can see why they discontinued the subcompact as it is barely smaller than the compact. Kinda crazy they even made the subcompact as they had to design it with a tilting barrel, but I still like the size of it and prefer the extra grip it has over something like a g26.

Looks like the px4 is a pistol with the least amount of size difference between models.

>>64132565
He's probably the same retard that thinks self defense is political.

>>64131481
Frankly I dont see the point of getting rid of it for either of them. The SP-01 is just a modernized and improved CZ-75, and the P-01 is in turn just a compact version of the SP-01, so you'd be getting basically the same gun in a slightly different form factor. Not worth the money to trade 'up' for those two, so I'd maybe suggest going with something that's actually tangibly different.

>>64132565
No, but reacting to someone calling a specific anon schizo for schizo behavior with AI slop and allcaps drivel is definitely something I expect from /pol/. I think you'd fit in better there.

>>64132374
Its funny how bitchy people get over sig making a single shitty gun

They have been renowned for poor finishing and QC for a while
And the P365 has a revised set of internal safeties that are free of flaws, demonstrating that they do in fact know how to make a gun that doesn't go off on its own
And yet the P365 xmacro/xl trigger failures (and various p365 striker/spring issues) indicate shitty QC is still a problem

Lots of companies have made shitty guns, and even many shitty guns in a row. But glorious sig is the only one where if the shitty gun is really shitty (its not! everyone is shooting themselves and making shit up! leave sig alone! all of it is made up! reeeeee! anti-sig shills!) this will clearly end second amendment rights forever and lead to total gun industry collapse.

But actually people are just buying marginally more HKs and glocks than before

>>64131565
It's heavy, it has low capacity. I love it.

>>64132525
The full-size is significantly larger than the compact or G19

I had no idea 2011s used a larger thicker ejector pin than 1911s. 1911s often use a thin roll pin (cheap, theoretically can snap) or a solid pin that’s staked in place (preferred). 2011s use a huge solid pin

>>64129369 (OP)

>>64131195
Is that one of the new productions?

>>64131728
Why the fuck would you ever? The USP's party piece is the dual recoil spring which the compact lacks.

>>64133773
Why do you guys suck off the dual recoil spring assembly

>>64133831
Not him, but look at it this way...

People still buy the USP over the p30. The p30 is objectively better, but it's not as ridiculously overbuilt as the USP is. The all metal dual recoil buffer system is a big part of that.

Imho it does make a difference too. They shoot very soft

>>64133855
Probably because the USP looks better than the P30. There is no reason they can’t just make the P30 look like a USP

>>64131728
USPc in 9mm is still my first place winner for most underwhelming firearm purchase. It's at best an "ok" gun, only reason to get it is larping.

>>64133860

>>64133855
>ridiculously overbuilt

What besides the giant slide is actually overbuilt compared to other polymer guns? Is the plastic thicker or do the springs use stronger metal or something

>>64133870
I almost bought a USPc in 9mm as my first gun because of the way it fit in my hand. I ended up going with a Gen 3 Glock 19 and have no regrets

>>64133927
the plastic is thicker, yes
the springs are actually a coil of wire instead of just one spring, yes
the barrel is made out of bullshit hardened steel that is hard to work with, yes
the magazines are thicker and waste space so they have less capacity, yes

sometimes some pistol descriptions are memes or gimmicks or marketing but they dont usually last for 20+ years unless they're a little bit true

>>64133939
If you are a woman or have small hands the P2000 is also a nice gun.

>>64133927
Pretty much everything on the USP is massive. Thick polymer, thick slide, the recoil assembly is all metal and heavy. It was originally built around 40sw, so you can really beat on it. The safety/decocker spring is stiff, the standard sights are steel. Youd have to make a deliberate effort to actually kill it.

The slide finish is my one criticism; the tenifer that glock and walther used is better imo

What dots will direct mount a shield plus ?

>>64133708
Yeah, shoots great!

>>64134088
No gun is too fat to carry with the right holster, anon.

>>64134088
it's fat but how good it shoots should motivate you to get better at concealing a gun, losing weight, dressing around it. that is if you want the most capable gun possible

I conceal it to a no guns workplace in just a T shirt using an enigma rig. My shirt did raise up and expose it when I was doing a physical task but all in attendance were also carrying guns

I am pretty disappointed that there is only one option for a 2011 that looks like a 1911 not a mallninja firearm from what I'm seeing and it's at the top of my budget. I think I hate turks too much to have a gun that says turkey or even worse turkiye on the side of it though.

>>64134328
As mentioned when I initially asked Burt for any reccs in the previous thread >>64126208 >>64126627 "looks like a 1911" to me means it has 1911 like fine slide serrations and a round trigger guard. That one doesn't go far enough.

I need a new gun to buy

>>64134334
round trigger guard is a grip module thing. You could just take a file to it or buy an Infinity grip module.

square is better, 1911 guys PAY to have the round trigger guard cut off and a square one welded on

>>64134353
I think that image is from infinity? I wanted to see pics of their grip modules with the round trigger guard and no mag well and couldn't find any. So far I don't see grip modules that have the look I want. Not that I was really interested in building a gun that requires a bunch of hand fitting and maybe machining right now, I have multiple concurrent car and home projects going on and don't really want another one.

>square is better, 1911 guys PAY to have the round trigger guard cut off and a square one welded on
I'm not those people. If I wanted a modern race gun with modern race gun features, I'd just buy an ugly-ass staccato P like everyone else. They're within my budget.

>>64131435
>I want a Specialist, is it worth it?
I'm very pleased with mine. No regrets. Considering getting a second one, the black optic cut 9mm version.

Anyone here shot a PD380? Im not wild about .380 or low capacity for its size, but it felt really comfortable and easy to carry. Weight is my biggest concern, but I want a da/sa.

P99 is and its the same size. A little smaller even.

>>64134676
No.
They never were.

>>64134684
Then what do you recommend?
I want a solid optic I can rack my slide off a table edge or my shoe with.
Holosun, Vortex, SIG Romeo?
I'd prefer FDE finish to match the pistol as well lol.
Nothing too chunky and weird looking but still decent visibility
I want to set it and forget it.
Between this or the supressor I'd rather get a supressor first but my local gunstore is doing a 10% off red dots sale tomorrow.
I've never shot a pistol with a dot before and everybody says its the best thing for pistols since sliced bread.

>>64134676
RMR type 2 is still a effective optic, it's hilariously ancient but still works. There are some Tan Holosuns, they're okay, better than the RMR in many quality of life features but the RMR is still regarded as more bomb proof.

>I've never shot a pistol with a dot before and everybody says its the best thing for pistols since sliced bread.
yeah. instead of aligning front and rear you just put the dot on the target and pull the trigger. you can effectively track the sight through recoil (red streak) and can put the red streak on target at speed. There's a learning curve to be able to draw the gun and have the dot on the target, but once you master that you become a better shooter in general since you have to develop an "index" where you understand how your body changes where the sight is.

in competition shooting red dot vs iron classifiers, red dots are 25% faster par times. Meaning a red dot shooter is expected to clear a stage/drill 25% faster.

>>64134702
Stay far away from Trijicon if you want visibility. Any of those would be fine though FDE options are extremely limited. Vortex has a lifetime warranty Trijicon is 3 years I think Holosun is 2 years Sig I don't know. They're all in the same ballpark of beating things with the optic but the RMR is more durable against gforces aka shooting. Not worth the other tradeoffs you have to make though. Just get an enclosed optic from Holosun Sig or Cyelee.

Is Charter Arms worth buying?

>>64134760
Buy Taurus instead.

>>64134682
P99 is striker fired.

>>64134775
And?

>>64134760
NTA but they're solidly a budget revolver. American made, they stand by their revolver, I would always buy a new one. The brand changed owners like 3 times and currently the original owner's descendants own it and are trying to claw back brand's image. The previous owners put out dog shit.

Taurus is their competitor and checking Charter Arm's website the prices have gone up due to bidenflation while Taurus's hasn't really.

Who’s going to tell him?

How can you guys shoot 200 rounds? My finger gets tired after 50.

>>64134844
Take breaks loading mags and taping up targets, not shoot DA guns and shoot superior SA guns, not being weak

>>64134830
Not me. Wasted effort on brainlets.

>>64134844
What are shooting, a revolver exclusively in DA?

>Go to the range with friend and shoot a bunch of his glocks including the Glock 17, 22, 19X and 21
>Don't particularly care for any except the 21 despite it being the blockiest, least ergonomic one which I could barely get my fingers around
Why is this? I shot it decently well, I've never cared for glocks but is this my sign to get the big fuddy-five Glock?

>gun I had my eye on for weeks was bid up super high at last minute
I hate this shit, bro. I have yet to see one auction for a gun I want to ever end in a good deal.

How scuffed up does the inside of your holster look?

>My finger gets tired after 50
Should have spent more time lifting and less time playing video games

>>64135070
The screws they give you are complete chinesium shit for sure, but that's on you for overtightening it. Don't go over 15 inch pounds, if you are doing it by feel you are going to fuck it up. If you ask I bet they'll send you another set of screws and you can put some vibratite or something on them next time.

>>64135070
>>swampfox sentinel keeps coming loose after 100ish rounds
>>Ok I'll try to torque it just a touch more
are you using loctite or vibratite

>>64135070
This is like tightening your cylinder head bolts and continuing when they suddenly get easier to turn.

>>64131091
That's good to know. I am still wary of anything from Kimber, however.

>>64134566
No, but I have a P22 and it is almost the same gun. It's not a Walther Walther, it is a Umarex Walther. I like mine as a plinker. It is easy to shoot and accurate, that is in .22 not .380. I have the few "good" ones, but there is a reason why they have a bad reputation.

I think there are better options out there regardless where you budget is.

>>64135099
>>64135103
>>64135119
>>64135133
Yeah lesson learned. I'm gonna buy a proper torque wrench. Guess I've gotten too lucky in the past just tightening by feel+dash of loctite.
Think I'm gonna loctite an Allen wrench to where it stripped off and try to turn it out tomorrow. If that doesn't work I'll hand it to a pro

>>64135047
Just consider the positive of it saving you money. If I can't get the deal I want on a gun I'm just not buying it. Makes it sweeter when you actually do snag an auction nobody was watching

Is the radian ramjet worth it on a g43x?

>>64135367
It does look cool but 48 slide would help the bullet fly a little bit faster

The reason the full size PX4 sucks is because "crossover" guns with a full slide/short grip or full grip/short slide are gay. They are simply never as cool as either a compact or a full size. They are guns people say they want, or are good in theory, but no one actually gives a fuck about any of them besides the G45 and only because of police contracts.

>>64135394
>px4
>crossover
lolwut i think you’re thinking about glocks.

is the g19 COA worth copping or is it 6 7? I pretty much just shoot my full size APX and revolvers when it comes to handguns but ive always been optics curious and maybe the g19 will persuade me to carry more.

>>64135505
If you like Glocks then yeah.
The COA is a good optic and it's tied to the proprietary A Cut footprint which us Glock exclusive for a year so in the future you will probably be able to get it on other guns too, especially if they come out with even better optics

>>64135505
good luck finding one

>>64129369 (OP)
I bought a CZ75 last year just like yours but I eventually sold it. It ran amazingly good but overtime I couldn't fucking stand how little there is to grab onto on those recessed slides. The slide on mine was also really stiff in general so that didn't help either.

traded in two of my guns for this guy today. this thing weighs fucking 44oz loaded btw.

>>64135823
Nice, what did you trade?

>>64135799
Stop pinching the slide like a goober. You rack a handgun by placing your off hand OVER the TOP of the slide.

>>64133989
>paddle
>fucking stupid
He's right, y'know

I have a 92x RDO compact slide
i have put it on a 96 centurion frame
the centurion and compact frames are compatible. this is the smoothest and nicest gun i have, i have gucci'd it up with literally everything you could with a beretta, but it does not have a rail. I need a rail for a streamlight for my floodlight2 holster.

i found a cheap fuckin berreta 92a1 at the pawn shop for 500 dollars.
I'm pretty sure i can just slap my compact RDO slide, the langdon trigger bar, the lighter springs, the match hammer, etc, and an x300 to make it an amazing gun that i can actually carry.

but should i spend the 500 dollars on basically just a frame with a rail and some bulk fuckin parts or should i buy an LTT elite with RMR optics cut? theres basically all my 2020-2024 soul into my current beretta but is it even worth preserving that when i can just buy an LTT elite compact new? I'm not a rich man but i can either buy a spare 500 dollar beretta or an ltt elite this month with no drawbacks.

lol there's no way

>>64135910
*Stupid good

Sorry typo

>>64135920
you cannot since the 92A1 is a proprietary recoil assembly and take down lever. your 92X RDO slide won't have the ability to accept either recoil assembly to work

compact slides on full size frames may not work, some people claim success others do not.

this kike has 92X compact frames and 92GTS centurion frames (eww)
https://www.gunbroker.com/semi-auto-pistols/search?sort=13&includesellers=3876768&pagesize=24

sometimes this guy gets railed beretta frames
https://www.gunbroker.com/pistol-frames/search?includesellers=904235&pagesize=24&sort=13

>>64136008
Thinking about it, buying that 92X compact frame allows you just to make what you want for like 300-400 bucks. I like the 92X compact ergos, the vertec compact frame + the wrap around grip is very grippy and contoured well.

You can throw the 92X RDO internals into your centurion frame as a back up gun. They have a short reset trigger bar.

>>64133860
It's because of the fucking trigger. P30 has an awful trigger unless you either get LEM or the kit, and the saftey is absolute garbage since the decocking is at the rear causing an awkward grip if you get any of the saftey models.

>>64135648
>>64135595
Be careful guys. I hear Madam Glock is riding on her horse to confiscate all glock COA's.

Walther got rid of their stupid paddle, why can't HK?

>>64136127
But they didn't, they offer both

>>64135823
>>64135900
Nice anon, enjoy. More pleasant shooting experience inbound.

>>64136153
Well, only in a sense that they have the p99 final edition reissue.

>>64135823
by the way guys if I were to replace these grips what would look really good in your opinions? There's so many damn options out there.

>>64136250
black and red g10s with punisher skull and flames

So have they actually fixed the h9? Is it a good buy if on sale?

>>64136250
skip checkered if you want traditional but different. though these kinda suck with too much black

>>64136250
>he wants to replace the grips
oh its one of "those" threads huh

>>64129369 (OP)
Thoughts on rmx ruger? Thinking about getting it as my first gun. The purpose would mainly be self-defense and I would likely conceal carry at some point or at the very least have it in my car.

>>64134949
How a gun statically feels in your hand has little correlation to how well you hold it when you are shooting so I've found. Early on in my pistol journey I found the same phenomenon with a Glock 19. I didn't think it was the best pistol by any means but renting it at the range I found I shot it really really well. Amusingly I still don't own a Glock 19 and have gone off and bought other goofy dumb pistols but lately I have been returning to Glock and will eventually get a 19. When people bitch about Glocks they are noshoots 99% of the time

>>64137058
Nah, that's horseshit. While it's true that holding someone isn't the same as how it is under recoil, most people have to really convince themselves to like Glock over a lot of shooting sessions OR they didn't know there were other things out there. I can't tell you how many people I've personally met who were shocked that shooting other guns wasn't an unpleasant experience

>>64137058
This has been my experience as well, and funnily enough it was with a Glock 19. Even stranger, I also have many a goofy and weird pistols, but not a Glock 19. I've shot plenty of them as most of my friends and family have a Glock 19, and everyone I know except my grandmother owns a Glock of some type. My wife has a 43X, but myself? I don't own a single Glock. But I love them, specifically the 19.

>>64137058
>>64137084
>goofy pistols
Fake shill garbage. Try harder to be believable lol

>>64137095
My .45 BP percussion cap revolver is pretty goofy compared to contemporary offerings, and my rough rider with a 12" barrel certainly isn't a normal pistol compared to modern offerings and as such I'd consider that goofy as well. If you're implying we're samefagging because of the similarities the. I have some bad news for you.

>>64136937
The RMX Ruger is kind of in a "wait-and-see" at the moment. It's in its first generation so any kinks or errors will be found before long. Also, there is virtually no aftermarket support for it.

Also it's basically just a Gen 3 Glock 19 so if you want to get a gun now, it's hard to find a better all around, do everything handgun

>>64137113
Yeah, I'm gonna say samefag or just plain stupid because there's no way you're honestly comparing your cowboy revolvers to any modern semiautos like it would be a credible endorsement of *any* semiauto manufacturer. They're literally all in a different category

>>64136957
idiotic manchild shit

>>64137135
Hey retard, I wasn't comparing them to modern pistols, I was pointing out why I consider those guns "goofy" in relation to the obvious advantages a modern striker fired compact or sub compact gun has over them. I shouldn't have to spell this out to you like this. I couldn't give a fuck what brand you simp for. Im not using that comparison as an endorsement, just that the anon I replied to and I had similar situations, and both of us like the G19 while not actually owning one at this very moment. Christ almighty its not that serious.

>>64137169
You're fake and retarded.

>>64131318
About a month ago. I don't shoot much anymore.

I'm the guy who lamented my favorite local range closing last year in another thread. Now all that is available to me are indoor ranges and a boomer-fudd "controlled fire only" range where the RSOs will bitch at you for doing double taps. I can get away with one round per second instead of the one round per two seconds on the signs, but that's as far as I can go there. It's boring and it sucks dick. Boomers ruined this hobby for me.

>>64137171
Ornim sincere and you can't stand that you're illiterate, and are too deep to backtrack because you've haven't matured enough to accept that your perception on a matter was incorrect. This is a common folly of youth, so dont despair, you'll age out of it.

>>64137294
>noooo, you HAVE to suck glocks like me

>>64135384
I already have a 43x though. Between the horrid slippery grip texture and small size it's snappier than I expected. The second your hands are a bit sweaty it's almost like holding a bar of soap I don't know why glock added so little texture. I'm contemplating getting a talon wrap or handleitgrips and the ramjet.

>>64137428
>buy a glock
>it's not the gun you wanted
>instead of selling it and buying the gun you want, dump more money into it

This team guy shit is a disease man. Sig and glock it's all the same.

>>64137330
Have you tried the new sugar free blue flavor? It's pretty good.

>>64137445
I like the 43x overall I just don't like how little texture it has. Maybe I'll skip the ramjet I'm sure with a good grip it will be much less snappy if it's not slipping in my hands.

>>64137464
It's just gonna be snappy and flippy no matter what. Glocks need the extra bulk

>>64137474
>>64137464
Shoulda got a 26!

I have a question but I'm waiting for the next thread.

Ah fuck it, here it goes:

Which gun do you regret buying the most? Which gun do you regret selling the most?

Switch to Yerba Mate, thank me later, you can order cases off Amazon.

>>64137464
You're describing the unique flaws of the 43x and then telling me you like it. The shield plus has everything you like about the glock but none of the flaws you described. The gx4 cost half as much as the ramjet/afterburner and talon grip you are considering buying and is less snappy and has a better texture than the 43x.

Why are you throwing money into this hole?

>>64137514
>Model 69 4 inch

Why? Was kinda considering one.

>>64137501
Probably the sporterized carcino I bought for $75 out of the back of a Toyota celica off base in 2014. It just collects dust and feels like dog shit in every metric so I dont even bother buying ammo for it. Either that or the Star B i bought at a yard sale in Virginia for $300. That thing was a massive pile of shit.

>>64137518
Name brand

>>64137515
Just got done with a patagonia hiking trip where we brought a giant 2 liter thermos and sipped yerba mate as we hiked. Its like gatoraide and coffee mixed since it's chock full of vitamens as well as caffine. When you make it fresh you have to put the stuff in your cup, then shake it around with your hand covering the opening and then dust off your hand since the dust is painfully bitter. The first cup or so also taste like shit until it mellows out.

Anyways I was gonna type more but I realized I was just explaining why sugar free monsters are the thinking mans energy choice.

>>64137501
I've never regretted selling a gun and think folks should do it more often. Sometimes when you get rounds down range you realize the gun isn't what you want, and that's ok. The resale value of guns is great, you have nothing to loose by selling it and buying something else unless it's a heirloom like this anon >>64137512 sold.

>>64137518
I never sell guns. You are right however.

>>64137555
Lmao sounds good, I’ve never had the authentic stuff, only the canned, which is good but I find it weird that some have 50% of your daily value of sugar and some have 3%.

>>64137555
>Sometimes when you get rounds down range you realize the gun isn't what you want

Can’t say that’s ever happened to me in like the 10 or so handguns I have but ok.

Speaking of ramjet/afterburner does anyone have one? Kind of want one for my g19

>>64137555
Ive only had guns I regret early on when I started collecting guns and all those regrets were low cost impulse buys. Ive never felt the need to sell a gun worth over 500 bucks.

>>64137131
Ah ok gotcha ty for the advice

>>64137586
Happened to me with the Berretta APX. On paper it was everything I wanted but the takedown lever rubs my thumbs weird when I shoot it. And as long as I'm shitting on the 43x, the FN Reflex is WAY worse. It's snappy as hell and the trigger is way too light for a carry pistol, but worse there is no discernable wall so it just is "squeeBANG" instead of "squeeze, wall, breakBANG". I was going to buy one but luckily my local range had a rental, otherwise I would have bought and sold that thing. Once again, this is for the stuff that you can always buy another time. If it's some rare 1960s heirloom or something then of course you should hang on to it for sentimental value.

>>64137581
They were OBSESSED with it down there, like the airport has a special hot water fountain just for it with it's own dedicated yerba mate trash can I assume gets composted. I'll pick up a can of the stuff on this road trip I'm on and let you know how authentic it is to the real stuff, but the real stuff was REAL cheap down there. A 1/4 cup of the stuff last for a coffee pots worth of water.

>>64137637
What a FEG.

>>64137634
I had a lot of malfunctions with a rental one that the counter guy estimated had like 6-8k rounds through it without any oil. The exact same pistol at the exact same rental counter with that same mag worked perfectly for me like 4-5 months before that. I even liked it more than the glock 19 gen 5, trigger and ergos like slide release and mag release especially. I think as long as you keep it well oiled it would be a great option, but this is something I don't see other folks talking about so I figured it would be worth mentioning.

>>64137131
The only reason I'd ever even consider it is to use in that flux raider chassis that's being worked on for it.

>>64137650
Smallest gun ever imported, made it in before the sportorization laws. Also a MASSIVE pain to shoot, literally. Super snappy with a ton of entirely unbeveled sharp edges everywhere. Fits the "fun relic so you might not want to sell it, but not good once you shoot it" mold I've been talking about.

>>64137658
And another pic because I had lots of em. I wonder how much of the issue is using magpul mags and how much is the slide being obviously painfully dry.

>>64137637
Maybe it’s because I always do an autistic amount of research on stuff, sometimes going back like 20 years before I buy something, and I always shoot if I can before buying. I still realize even after there’ll be things I like or don’t about particular guns, and while most are fixable some aren’t, and that’s just a quirk of that particular firearm.

>>64137670
Anything that's dry for that many rounds is gonna fuck up

>>64137524
The 2.75 would probably make more sense since the 69’s deal is that it’s the lightest/thinnest steel .44 magnum revolver

>>64134380
>Third Bay Ounce
Never heard of that and looks both gimicy and fun.

how long did you all carry a handgun around your house before you felt comfortable carrying it in public?

>>64138259
A couple of days. It helps to get a really small gun and a good concealment rig. Try the Phlster enigma rig if you worry about concealment, it also allows for a lot of adjustment for comfort as well.

>>64138259
i carried an empty gun in public until i got comfortable enough to just load it.
I wasn't worried about the public or printing or showing that i had a gun since im in a constitutional carry state, i was worried about blowing my balls off.
After like a week of just carrying an empty gun and it not going off i just said fuck it and loaded it and one of the first things i did was skim my finger over the trigger as i was holstering it in my car, giving me a proper scare.

>>64138259
I think i carried it for a day or two, then went to a ghetto ass grocery store in detroit and wandered around for awhile until I realized nobody notices even if you do print.

Look up if that's enforcable in your state, there are vanishingly few states it is. Worst case you get asked to leave and you do no harm no foul. But seriously, nobody will notice. I carried my giant fat ass arex before with just a shirt on and nobody glanced at me.

>>64138463
The only people that can tell if you’re printing is other people who have carried a gun. If you’re properly IWB carrying. There are anons, me included, that carry into places you wouldn’t even dream of

Bruh by no means will I suggest that you must agree with all the conclusions of the federalist papers, and in fact it's good to analyze them with a critical eye. It's extremely important context on the early history of the US government though, no matter what you think, and they do a very competent job of covering the range of concerns and necessities for defining what a government should be in general.
