Question of the Thread: What is the next gun you're going to buy and why?

The other Austrian pistol.

No, I don't think I will

>>64156432 (OP)
Probably another 2011 frame

this time a commander slide rail one since I have some commander parts laying around.

>>64156432 (OP)
I have both the l9a1 and a Glock 45, I have to say I like the steyr more but I carry the Glock every day because I was able to actually get a red dot on it

>>64156432 (OP)
I just recently bought a G47 just for shooting. Logically it would make sense for me to pick up a G19 to swap the slides around. Kinda funny that I dont already own a G19

>>64156432 (OP)
>Question of the Thread: What is the next gun you're going to buy and why?
I think after getting my BG 2.0 and whenever I pick up the GX4 micro compact I'll have literally every single niche filled I could fill except race gun. Whenever the Arex Rex 2 race gun they showed at shot show 2 years ago makes it state side I'll probably get it but other than that I'm full up lads. I got asked "how many guns do you have" and couldn't even remember.

>What is the next gun you're going to buy and why?
One of these, I'm hesitating which. Used plastic ones because they are clearly being discontinued and phased out and no one wants them for having thin slides anymore because we are in carry optic era. The revolver because I saw a video of some madman shooting 45 win mag from it, and I am easily influenced.

>>64156530
A literal why? list of guns, the only one worth a damn is the Redhawk and you want it in one of the worst calibers for it, get it in .44 mag or don’t get one at all.

>>64156530
>guns.com
Never. Not even once.

>>64156552
.45 is God’s caliber and .429 is a weird cope

.45 ACP ensures that there are cheap range loads, commerical hot loads through .45 Super and .460 Roland, not sure how the cylinder is but if it’s only through moonclips then anything that fits on a moonclips will work

>>64156566
Why not? Honestly I need to check several local dealers for the ruger, if they have one in stock, I would pay a bit more.

>>64156432 (OP)
>Question of the Thread: What is the next gun you're going to buy and why?
CA fag. I might buy a Glock real quick because they are talking about banning them.
Would it be dumb to get a 19 instead of a 17 when I will probably never cc it?

>>64156572
Moonclips are cursed and if you willingly accept that curse, then that one’s you, not my fault I tried to steer you straight.

Automatic cartridges in revolvers are always a terrible compromise.

>>64156610
Why? There’s CC in California? And the 19 is lame, either go 17 or 26 if you wanted to carry.

>>64156432 (OP)

Is Steyr USA ever going to import more of these? Had a chance to fire an L9 and loved it. Sales on their website ignore emails for a living.

I swear Steyr is allergic to marketing their own products.

>>64156639
>>64156572
I have 45 ACP dies and 200gr bullets, which, I think, fit 45 Colt cases, so I'll likely just have to buy a box of cases after bending included moon clips. Ruger no longer makes pure 45 Colt version since they realized cutting cylinder for moonclips makes it compatible with 45 ACP.

>>64156552
>.44 mag
https://www.reinfjord.net/art/Gun%20Notes%20John%20Linebaugh.pdf

>>64156530
I don't want to dissuade you from your purchases but I would advise sitting and waiting until the moment passes or you feel more strongly about a gun purchase.
Paying 1100+ after fees for a 45 ACP Redhawk then having the cylinders reamed to accept 45 win mag(and 460 Rowland) is gonna end up near 1500. Then whenever you want to shoot 45 win mag it's gonna cost over double what 44 magnum (1.50 nowadays holy shit) does for very similar recoil and performance. You'd have to shoot it a ton with 45 ACP to make up the price difference.
Or you could buy a used 44 magnum revolver for 600 and get the same occasional fun, and with the leftover money get a 38 special so that you have a cheap soft shooting revolver. Instead of trying to get a revolver that does everything. Unless you're a big handloader then discount most of what I just said.

>>64156666
>then having the cylinders reamed to accept 45 win mag
No, no, it's like that out of the box, the cylinder is reamed for 45 Colt.

>>64156609
You're overpaying and contributing (undesirable) behavior.

>>64156718
Sometimes gun.deals shows a listing on guns.com as the cheapest option though.

>>64156677
Oh word, that's pretty cool. Definitely shop around though, you can likely find a better price

>>64156718
>contributing (undesirable) behavior
Are they evil in some way?
What about their used listings, don't they just aggregate LGS that work with them, or are they listed elsewhere? I don't know how to get those guns any other way.

>>64156658
They're coming with a new generation. Same with CZ. The Germans are using the new gen p10f

Burt whats that tiny 22lr pistol? Not the life card the other one you had that blew up from the ammo or whatever?

>>64156834
Never mind, it was the ounce.

Is the Beretta 92fs Italy vs US made thing a meme or are the italian ones actually better?

>>64156950
Gallentin Berettas have a tiny bit more of a chance for a bad part but performance wise they are the absolute same.

>>64156950
Tennessee is kind of a shit state

>>64156520
>I think after getting my BG 2.0 and whenever I pick up the GX4 micro compact I'll have literally every single niche filled I could fill except race gun
Where is your .44 Magnum?

>>64156432 (OP)
I think I’m gonna get a USP 45. I’ve been playing a lot of stalker GAMMA and the USP Match is my go-to sidearm for the entire game, just upgrading it with full auto, suppressor, rail-mounted red dot etc.

I’m never going to fine/afford an actual USP Match, so I’m going to ‘clone’ one by buying a Jarvis Inc barrel and match weight. Purely for LARP

>>64157067
With the Jarvis barrel you can have it ported unlike the real match barrel

There’s a interview somewhere where HK doesn’t know why people like the match so much when it’s an inferior pistol to the Elite or Expert

>>64157067
Why is the USP in Stalker a .45, a caliber that almost does not exist outside of America?

>>64156950
Look at HK. CC9 vs VP9SK. Only thing from the mainland in the CC9 is the barrel everything is shitty american made products. Which is why CC9 slides are rusting and the mags look like shit

>>64156742
>they just aggregate
Then you are PAYING them for that. Go find the exact gun they are listing on a free service or find another on a forum.

I was in the thread previous talking about getting into revolvers for the soul. I decided to go rent some at the local gun range and man they suck. I've been spoiled by striker slop. Just sticking with my glock again award

>>64157339
They really don’t make them like they used to. Get an old one.

>>64157190
>Go find the exact gun they are listing on a free service
Where?
>free service
Why the fuck would there even be a free service?

>>64156432 (OP)
>>64156460
>>64156658
I bought one for lolz and it became my EDC. They would be awesome with more aftermarket options.

>>64156566
I got a nice P229 two tone DAK on there for $500, so I was impressed. Went back to check recently and everything was pricey.

>>64157425
>look up gun
>scan results for shop location that matches guns.com listing
>call the fucking shop and buy the gun directly for free
How is this hard?

Anyone familiar with North American Arms mini revolvers? Are they durable? Fun to shoot? I like weird guns, and these things look pretty weird.

>>64156462
>Not an FEG
Wasted opportunity

>>64157467
literal useless shit, not even worth an ffl fee. I wouldn't even take one for free

>>64157457
You sound like you dont value your time at all, do you also spend all Saturday morning scrounging for ammo deals at local stores in your area?

>>64157467
There’s more interesting/fun derringers out there. That’s the most cookie cutter lame ass one out there, zero reason to ever even consider it.

>>64157443
I have an eps carry that's just being collecting dust. I remembered that I can get the slide cut. but then I checked the price for it.

>>64157476
Can you elaborate? Do they have any specific problems?

>>64157490
Also, I realized that I paid much less for the M9-A2 then what they charge for a fucking slide cut. wtf lol

>>64157490
No, you already have the optic. You selected the option where they supply the EPS carry.

The base cut sounds like it’s 110 dollars

>>64157519
oh, I feel like a retard now.

>>64157530
Been there, I’ve been retarded in ways you cannot even fathom

>>64157162
>There’s a interview somewhere where HK doesn’t know why people like the match so much when it’s an inferior pistol to the Elite or Expert
HK doesn't know about Half-Life 2?

WHY do Steyr pistols lack support/after market support?

>>64157475
Glock frame extension? Unnecessary on a "full size" G17

>>64157530
I was wondering why it was more than a Tanfoglio slide cut.

>FEG
>Fixed Ergonomics Glock
when?

>>64157484
People tried to help you, fool. Part with your money.

>>64157467
I've had one for over 10 years.

Its a neat little gun, it's well made, priced fairly, and has been totally reliable for me. It is entirely optimized around being small and makes zero concessions for anything else, so keep that in mind. It's awkward to hold, has terrible sights, etc etc.

That said, I've pocket carried mine probably 1500+ days in that time because it's so damn convenient. You can throw it in your pocket with your keys and it's less than a "serious" defensive pistol but it's more than nothing. I think it's probably acceptable for shooting a dog that's currently biting you or something like that. A true minimum viable pistol.

It's also a fun little novelty and always popular when I bring it out for friends to shoot.

>>64157163
There are NATO-aligned weapons in the Zone, mainly in the hands of Western-Power-backed Mercs. Freedom and Clear Sky also use NATO weapons

>>64157467
Kinda fun but hard to shoot with the stock grips. If you get one get one with a swing out cylinder or the top-break.

>>64157656
>>64157665
Thanks for the information. I'm looking at it as more of a range toy than any sort of defensive weapon. I like derringers, revolvers, and single action weapons for autistic reasons so that's why it interests me. Other than being difficult to shoot, how well do they hold up mechanically? Any timing issue? Do they just work, or have you had any annoying problems?

Modern topbreak revolver in .357 when?

>>64157848
As cool as it is, swing out is better

.357 mag PCC when?

>>64157832
Nta but the .22lr/ .22 magnum one is a trap, you can really only shoot .22 mag through it, and .22 mag sucks to shoot from these. My friend got rounds stuck in the bore shooting .22lr through his.

>>64157868
There’s plenty, take your pic.

>that feel when you know the gun you bought online has been delivered but the gun shop hasn't called
bros they close at six if they dont call today then they do that bullshit when they're only open for a few hours on saturday when im at work then close on sunday and monday so its literally over for me

>>64157876
I want an autoloading one. A SMG would be even better.

>planned to go to range today
>family plans for in the way

>>64157889
Well there’s already Desert Eagle mags to start with, hurry up and build the rest.

>>64157457
Well, I have no idea where these guns are, also most LGS are not very internet friendly to this day, a lot of time they have an online store that has absolutely nothing whatsoever in common with their stock.
>shop location that matches guns.com listing
They don't list the location.
>call the fucking shop and buy the gun directly for free
Call a store in another state and walk them like blind kittens through a process of sending a gun to my transfer? Hard no.

>>64157832
They hold up well mechanically. You will not put super high rates in und counts through one in a human lifetime though so it's sort of irrelevant, but mine has just worked. Getting the cylinder and and out for reloading was annoying at first but it either broke in or I got gud or both and now it's super easy.

I agree with the other anon, don't bother with the 22mag versions, or imo the short versions. Just get 22lr. If it's a pure range toy, the ones with larger grips and longer barrel will be more satisfying to shoot, and the top break or swing out cylinder model will be faster to load, but they're much more expensive and then you're not far off a better 22 single action range toy anyway so idk. I think the niche for these is the model I have.

Probably time to cycle out my carry ammo again desu.

>>64157868
>>64157889
Pointless. Just get one in 10mm.

>>64156498
Based, my last part (plunger tube) comes in today. Then it's all fitting and filing.
This grip safety is going straight to hell where they belong.

>>64157999
Right now I’m going for pinned grip safety since I’ve never fit a grip safety before and don’t know how but when I set one up for carry I want the grip safety

I’m using the Nighthawk Drop In Trigger cassette and it’s crazy. Zero creep. Plus since the the springs are internal to the cassette if I have no grip safety I don’t even use the sear spring they give with it

>>64158017
Those look pretty slick, I've got an EGW long hard sear that I stoned on a jig and it's pretty great.
In a series 70 the grip safety is nothing but a trigger block that I fail to activate 60% of the time because of my high grip so that bitch is getting chopped internally and belt sanded flush with the frame like the 45 with the rock island slide.
The 1911 thumb safety immobilizes the sear, trigger, and hammer anyway which is already more than 90% of carry guns on the market (not that I'd carry this)

Fitting the Wilson high-grip safety/beavertail was slow but that's because I didn't buy their jig.

Is a shrouded hammer really important for a carry revolver?

>>64157957
>zoomer can't call a store who already knows how to do everything
lol stupid ass

>>64158054
only if you're pinkmanmaxxing

>>64154809
I too have tritium on my long gun except it's inside the optic itself

>>64158041
I got one for 200 which makes it a decent deal vs an ignition kit but the 300 MSRP price it’s normally is it’s hard to justify. I like that all the surfaces and engagement were set by a Nighthawk smith and I can literally drop it into any gun for the same performance.

>>64157980
.357 is better in reality but feeding it is harder, in a perfect world 10mm would be worth it and we'd have a plethora of 10mm carbines. But we live in a 9mm supremacy reality.

>>64158057
How the fuck does that even work, have you been telling people your credit card number over telephone, old man?

>>64158109
NTA but yeah. I tell store employees my credit card info over the phone all the time, where to send the gun as well, you can give your email addresses over the phone too

It’s safer than going to a Indian run gas station

>>64158128
A store in another state might be Indian too at this point, I wouldn't. IMO that was a proper way before we had internet, but not now.

>>64158138
>tech illiterate antisocial zoomer can't tell an indian over the phone
holy fuck this keeps getting better LOL

>>64158138
Wait wait, so you would trust a random listing on guns.com without knowing its an indian, but finding and calling them directly to buy the gun and KNOWING whether or not its an indian is a step too far? What the fuck is wrong with your brain?

>>64158054
I look at it the other way, exposed hammer and single action aren't necessary for a revolver. With practice there's no real difference out to 25 yards.

If you find a shrouded hammer with the features you like, always go for it. The only reason mine aren't shrouded is because they weren't offered with certain features(barrel length, sights, etc)

>>64158149
Guns.com makes it nearly impossible to find out what Gunstore is selling the gun, unless you recognize the background. You aren’t allowed to sell it on other sites I’m pretty sure, it’s only to be sold through guns.com so it’s probably not available locally. It’s against the rules for you the buyer to contact the seller on guns.com, you either buy it or you don’t.

>>64157443
ive got it's older smaller cousin the S9A1 and i love that little thing. It just shoots so well for something a hair larger then a G26
>>64156432 (OP)
I think it's going to be a USP 40. I have a 9mm but I want a 40 now and looking around to swap the upper would cost me just under what i payed for mine brand new. Once she comes in im pulling the ripcord at the shitty range i work at. Seriously anons ask the ranges around you if they have a FOI discount with HK since its 40% off MSRP for a pair of guns a year

>>64158206
FOI?

>need 2 decocker retainers and 1 mag catch back plate
(Those aren't the proper terms but w/e)
>order from 2 different sellers
>get 3 of the same decocker retainer plates
>not ordinary parts, made from billet from an aftermarket company, not Sig OEM
Just my luck...

>>64158238
Friend Of the Industry. Most of the big manufactures will offer stores either discounts or rewards programs based on how many guns you sell. Sig, S&W, and Springfield all do it on a points system where selling guns earns you X amount of points and then at say 10 points you can get a free shield plus or a XD, at 15 you can get a Hellion or a M400, 20 a 320 X five legion or a 686 ect. HK lets you just pick two guns a year and give you 40% MSRP which in my case got me a USP9 with night sights and 3 mags for 770. They quick about it too I think i emailed them the order form on monday and had the gun in my hands by tuesday next week and that was considered "slow" by them since they were doing some inventory work when i sent the order in and it got delayed by 3 days.
Those discounts were literally the only reason i started working at that store

>>64158149
Owner might be Indian and responding to phone calls is the same guy that would be taking to customers. Again, if it's any sort of remote order, I would trust guns.com over the store.

Make it safe.

Just waiting on one part to complete my 5th

well i finally did it. I swapped out my langdon springs and parts and threaded barrel from my old beretta into my new one, and i slapped a 92x RDO slide with an EPS in there.
I dont think i need anything else, i can sell all my guns now

I think its funny i was too scared to just buy the frame of an LTT elite in the other thread but once i bought the whole damn thing i had no problem taking it like 80% apart.

Can you press a Beretta Tomcat against a body and have it fire like a revolver? I know the barrel tilts up bur only when you press the lever, it should be fixed when you're firing so in theory it should work?

>>64158972
Yeah the barrel is uhhh fixed. Not really to the frame, but it's still direct blowback.

>>64158897
>What you scared of, homie?
nta, but feds like you.

>>64158972
Press up against some drywall and give a try

>>64158972
If it works like the 950 then there's no correlation between the barrel and disconnector so pressing the muzzle against a surface will not lead to disconnect of the trigger and sear

Best handguns for suppressor host? All I can think of is people talking about the m9

>>64159124
I mean 92s/M9s have non-tilting barrels, so, yeah. Straight blow backs should be a good choice if they’re threaded. Just pick your the handgun you’re comfortable with and get a booster for it.

>>64159134
M9's have no suppressor front sight option, dip wad

>>64159138
Schizo glocktroon

>>64159124
If Beretta, 80X recent release with threaded barrel would be the best host. Fixed barrel, 380 ACP.

>>64157999
Well, she works

>>64159159
It’s not technically fixed, but it is non-tilting. I got into a shit flinging with another over this.

>>64159124
Hammer fired guns delay the opening of the breach more than striker fired guns making them less gassy and slightly quieter to the shooter. HK USP, P30 and S*G P226 are all excellent hosts.

>>64159178
USP-T and the Mk23 also have different langles on the barrel and recoil assembly to delay unlocking for suppressor use as well.

>>64159138

I'm really happy with how this guy turned out.
the only thing i wasn't able to keep from my previously landgonsteine'd abomination was the hammer spring, i might just buy a new one if i can justify the shipping with something else.

not to mention now that i have a new host for the RDO slide, the normal slide can go back on my 92 and it can fit on my shoulder holster again.

I have all my japanese porn in a tub in my closet right now so you'll have to settle for this.

I'm really pleased with this recent trend of anons building 1911s.

Okay, go ball my man that's fun shit.
I do shoot at 300 yards with the Mk23 though, so you better have the range for it

>still wear earpro
Why would I do that? I'm already old, I'm immune to giving a fuck

>>64159323
>Why would I do that?
Someone else at the range shooting unsuppressed

>>64159323
CAT MOB?

>>64159334
Why would there be other people at the range? I'm trespassing at 3am with NODs
Why do you think I own so many suppressors

>>64159323
>shoot at 300 yards with the Mk23
That's very cool, anon but with all due respect– I'll be coming back from the range with video proof of my feats at extended ranges

Very based! Put a collapsible stock on that carbine unless it's not compatible with the *super safe* lower?

shooting at 100, 200 yards will not prove anything to me when you cannot shoot a one hole group at 15 yards which you called "unremarkable)

>>64159361
>To see MEN? In the DARK?
"Yes"

>>64159346
Unfortunately no spund on /k/ means you can't hear impacts on steel and have to choose between watching me shoot at nothing or impacts on steel with no proof of distance.

It fits, I own like six sets of MP5 furniture and like to change it up

>>64159316
its a custom plate i bought on ebay that has a K footprint.
then it has an oversized EPS optic that is sized for C footprints but with K screws.
if i were to get a normal RMR footprint and a normal optic it would probably look better but it works so i wont fix it.

>>64159368
>impacts on steel with no proof of distance
The delay between muzzle report and steel ringing is the proof of distance because the speed of sound is 1125 feet per second
>six sets of MP5 furniture
Impressive, very nice!

>>64159363
>one hole group at 15 yards
I don't have a MRDS and you're not even "laser beam" anon so frig off

Welp, time for bed– goodnight to everybody!

Is the Arex Zero 1 the way, or is it just a meme gun?

>>64159550
Buy a used one. The Mk26 stamped ones are often cheaper funnily enough

>>64159550
Buy used stupid. How did this not occur to you?

I've been torn for a while now on a hammer fired gun, I have a pair of Glocks already so this would be something to switch things up.
mostly torn been a 226 and an ltt Beretta. I consider stacattos as well but while I could take the hit on price, it's a tough value proposition when you factor in dots, holsters, spare mags, etc.
Any compelling reasons to go with one vs the others?
I doubt it would be something I carry much over the Glocks

Big boy came this morning :3

>>64159550
The only meme is that goofy 90s branding on the slide. Otherwise they're fantastic.

Gentlemen, it's done.

>>64159789
Thats art, but do you gonna shoot the art?

>>64156530
Cheap polymer pistol if you need a carry gun, any of those will be fine. Redhawk for anything other than carry.

>>64160059
Actually, skip the .45 ACP redhawk. I assumed it was a .44 mag or .45 LC. Get one in .45LC and you can shoot .45ACP with moon clips.

>>64159550
The Arex is a tank. I'm like 10k rounds in and nothing is slowing down even a bit.

>>64159623
Go for a 229 and carry it. It's a fine range toy even if you don't like it.

>>64159213
can the px4 be converter to sao? pic not related

>>64160180
You could, but I'd get a Grand Power instead

>>64159515
It's a kit bash, you dip

>>64157467
Useless without a proper set of grips. Hamre forge is by far the best option.

I have a 22 mag pug and the grips made it so much better.

>>64159213
Interesting.

The 1911 was first pistol and is the gun that ignited my passion for handguns. I got rid of it because they weren't terribly practical and went to Glocks for many years.

Just recently picked up a Langdon px4c and it is the best 9mm handgun I've ever had. I have a regular RMR on mine but the RMRHD looks so good on the px4. I probably won't get back into 1911s but I do want to get a full size 9mm for fun someday. I want an m9 but the px4 full size would be far more practical.

I wonder if shooting suppressed is fun enough to warrant the m9 over the px4 full size? I do plan on getting a tomcat for suppressed 32 shooting someday so I will eventually have a 9mm can. I don't necessarily want to invest in new mags but at the same time I would have to buy a bunch of 17 round mags for the px4 anyway...

>>64160417
While /hg/ is the home of the PX4 Compact, you're not going to find many fullsize PX4 enthusiasts here. If you want a fullsize 9mm, I'd recommend just picking whatever you think looks the coolest.

>>64160417
I don’t find the PX4 full-size that appealing as I don’t like the recoil cycle as much as the compact, the compact is more aggressive. It’s like the discourse about Glock 19 vs 17 vs 34

>>64160180
No, but I once say a Beretta Cougar 9mm converted to SAO using 92X Perfomance parts

It was 1500 dollars

>>64160059
Already have ppq, want spares. 30S is a minmax gun for if I ever move to a 10rd state, glock was silly to discontinue it.
>>64160063
That is the 45LC redhawk, it's just incorrectly marked by both ruger and guns.com

>>64159789
I fucked up my cold blue and it’s rusty and smelly, so I spray painted it OD green. If the thing runs well I might just send the entire pistol out to Cerakote + optic cut

>>64158054
it does help a bit
the hammer can be a little poke-y depending where and how you carry it
if you carry IWB under clothes the hammer channel is also gonna get lint and dust in it over time
shrouded hammer makes for a slightly pleasanter and more convenient carry experience
also, with a short-barrelled defensive DA revolver, its better to just shoot DA all the time, the hammer doesnt serve much purpose
btw the k6s is a great revolver and has a really nice trigger, but the 3" barrel version feels a little unbalanced (barrel-heavy). the 2" shrouded is perfect. just use short-barrel 357 ammo like pic rel and you're g2g

>>64158054
Depending on how you carry. I unironically prefer exposed hammer for carry because it's an extra snag point.

>>64159550
i had a p220 for a while. it was a neat gun, definitely looked the business. grip ergos were awesome with the hogue fingergroove grip. BUT the placement of the controls very awkward, i never found a comfortable place for my thumbs with that damn decocker lever in the way. and it wasn't particularly enjoyable to shoot, maybe i'm a limpwristing faggot but for some reason the recoil impulse felt very flippy and i could never really get confident behind the gun. sold it and dont miss it. my 2c

>>64159308
see this? alright??
old man gave me that when i was in grade 7. seen a lot of action...
9 millimeter...
safety... always off...
told me he was proud of me once...
fucking prick...

serious question, did a single person buy one of these things?
i like my kahr k9 a lot and thinking about getting a tp9-2 cause it looks cool. but holy crap there's no info about them on the internet anywhere. and it seems like kahr is basically a dead brand at this point. shame

>>64160787
what a strange location for the serial number

>>64160787
How is Kahr still not dead, I can't imagine them selling a single gun since og shield dropped.

>>64160816
They own a few other brands like Desert Eagle/magnum research

>>64160753
lul

>>64159550
I adore mine, but it is rather chunky if you have tiny hands. The SA trigger is nicer than a 226, but the DA trigger is way worse if that matters to you. Mags are only $24.99 as well.

>>64160929
The trigger can be upgraded with spring kits and a couple aftermarket trigger options as well.

>>64160933
I liked mine so much I bought a second tactical version after about 5-6k rounds without a single hiccup. I swapped the slides because I was too lazy to swich my LOK grips over and have been having some reliability issues now with the mismatched slide and frame so I think they may have slight differences. Planning on swapping it back

The thing is a tremendous value in an age where 226s run you $900. Your groups may vary but your enjoyment will not.

>>64159240
>I have all my japanese porn in a tub in my closet right now so you'll have to settle for this.
Understandable.

>>64159644
Man I'm not looking forward to having to eventually get a safe when I settle down. My girlfriends been pretty chill about guns but idk if I can get away with keeping them all in a pile in the closet if we moved in together.

>>64160612
That's pretty cool

>>64160911
The 2011 .45 fucking runs. Runs a little too good and went full auto a little bit

>>64160997
Well more like a FRT

>>64156663
>>64156552
I was looking into these a while ago, I thought they were discontinued. from what I understand it's more of a 45 colt gun and the fact that it also takes 45 acp is just sort of an added bonus. I remember people saying the accuracy is kind of lackluster with acp but it's perfect with 45 colt

>>64160997
>>64161013
You mean the reset is so short that you're unintentionally bump firing it? That's a skill issue

>>64161072
Kind of. The trigger I didn’t fit right so it has too much resistance going forward

>>64161079
Assuming there's nothing wrong with your sear, that's pretty sketch

>>64160961
Here its a rule but you got the freedom. At least its a object that allows you to keep them in controlled humidity and dust free. I bought a higher than needed safty standart, so its harder to break and increased fire protection. The most expensiv upgrade is the electronic lock, as protection from checkups by police. You need to have the force over the keys at all moment, if you dont got them on you while they check you loose it (so a number saves tards like me). I wonder if ibshould make a long vertical shelf for the hamdguns directly on the door, that way i keep room for ammo

I'm a fucking retard and fell for the micro meme. Tried a p365 and a max 9 first time shooting about 6 months ago and bought the Ruger.
Today I went to the range (first time in 6 months because I hate the max 9) and shot it alongside a Walther PDP I rented and my God... I love that thing so much more.
The max 9 had a FTF for some reason within the first magazine. Not sure why. Plus it's so snappy, it fucks up my hand dramatically more than the walther did. The walther was comfortable as hell, more accurate, and looks fucking sweet. It actually feels like a gun whereas the max 9 feels like it's meant for small hands. Mine are medium and they fit, but it's a stretch.
I'm really considering trading in the shitty Poo-ger towards a brand new PDP there for $600.
Anyone here have a PDP? Any thoughts?

>>64161145
Meant to say I bought it 8 months ago. Shot it about 8 times within 2 months then stopped going because it sucked.

>>64161145
>>64161150
>WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MICROS DON'T SHOOT LIKE A 1911

Dumb nigger. They're made for concealment not for arthritic hands to plink with. Anyone who complains that a micro 9 isn't "fun to shoot" is a retard because buying a micro 9 expecting it to be anything but a snappy little bastard is like buying a a lightbulb and expecting it to work as a speaker.

>>64161145
>considering trading in some bullshit you paid pennies for just to buy a bigger gun
how about you just buy another fucking gun you dipshit.
Buy two. Keep the micro 9 and also buy a PDP. theres literally NOTHING saying you cant.

>>64161166
Learn to read, faggot. I said I bought it as a first time shooter. I figured I could get used to the snappiness over time but it just ain't for me.
>>64161176
Why would I keep something I dont enjoy shooting? I'd rather have something I can enjoy shooting AND carry.

>>64161197
You don't need to "get over it" it isn't for plinking, you just need to accept that, train to proficiency with it, and USE IT FOR WHAT IT IS MADE FOR

>>64161197
you're a fucking retard
just buy another gun and keep the one you have. it doesnt take space, its literally a compact, it wont hurt you to just have two guns you muoppet

>>64161166
>buying a a lightbulb and expecting it to work as a speaker.
kek

>>64161145
pussy lol

>>64161145
One thing to keep in mind is that PDP will be more noticeable if you decide to carry it with you, before that gun Walther used to make PPQ, which had slide taper at the top, making it feel a little slimmer, but still just on par with guns like Glock 19. After slide mount red dots became more popular, they made PDP where the slide came full thickness to the top, to allow mounting a wide plate and sight. Both of these guns are thicker than your Ruger, but PDP especially so. They do shoot pretty well, though, but I'd expect it from any modern gun at this point. I would attempt to detail strip the Ruger, clean it up, re-lube and try again. Maybe even give it a "break-in period" for being a Ruger.

>>64160660
Do you have a gunsmithing (junk/garage sale) toaster oven?
Boil it in distilled water, slather in mineral oil, and heat gun or toaster oven on high. Fixes smelly bluing right up.

>>64160038
Of course

>>64161013
My 45 build had a progressive FRT kek
If you pulled the trigger too far back the hammer strut would push on the disconnector at the bottom and push the trigger forward enough to reset it.

>>64161145
Never trade a gun at a gun store. NEVER. Sell it privately and buy what you want.

>>64161208
>>64161211
I understand it's not for plinking. That model specifically is for concealment, and thats partially why I bought it originally. My priorities and perception have changed over time. But again, if I don't enjoy shooting it or feel comfortable with the way it shoots, why bother keeping it, when I could trade it in towards something I like and felt 10x more confident with?


>>64161266
Thank you for the actual response. I do like the way it's size feels in comparison to the Ruger. It was used when I bought it, so it's been broken in. I've cleaned it thoughourly every time I've taken it out as well.

>>64161266
Furthermore, the PDP (assuming we're talking the 4" version) is bigger in every dimension than a G19. It's a chunky-ass gun.

>>64161346
You're far too new to be writing off an entire class of gun because you "aren't confident" (you don't know shit yet, of course you aren't confident). But if you can actually regularly conceal a gun as thicc as a PDP in the summer, more power to you

>>64161145
>>64161150
I would save the micro 9 for conceal carry and shoot enough with it to get good. Also buy the PDP for home defense or carrying in the winter.

>>64161346
I misread the original post, if you isolated FTF to one magazine, good. Failure to feed, even rare, is a much bigger problem for a gun, IMO, than being small and snappy.

>>64161145
I love my PDP, but is the pdp you're looking at buying the compact version? Be aware most places online have zero sales tax and are less than $500.

I think learning on a compact will be much easier for you, and the PDP is a great pistol. Keep the max 9 for now, get the PDP

>>64161096
I told him at the range but there was no overtravel to the point where it wasn't traveling enough actually. This means that the sear wasn't fully seated on the hammer. This can help cause that issue or cause it to not be able to fire at all (at least via trigger pull).

The reset thing is the spring weight, possibly too much resistance of trigger components like the actual trigger shoe. Or maybe needs a stiffer reset spring or to shim it to make it stiffer if they don't have adjustable tension.

It's pretty neat, has no recoil compared to a 1911 .45.

>>64161510
Nice shooting, love the OD green.

>>64161521
It’s spraypaint right now, might send it off for Cerakote and maybe DLC on the black parts and slide

Might buy a second identical slide to have that one optic cut. I love this thing

>>64161352
>>64161420
>>64161359
Oh yeah, I'm aware I don't know shit. I've been reading a lot on guns in general as of late and really hunkering down on dry firing. At first, I was more concerned about concealment rather than ergonomics or accuracy or any of that. I had heard good reviews of the max 9 and figured if I can conceal it easily too, then fuck it, I'll get it. It seemed accurate and fit my hands enough, although I knew it'd be snappy. After actually trying something larger rather than relying on fudds and gunbros on YupTube, I'm sold on getting a compact or full size now.
At this point in time, I don't carry and I don't have a need to carry; plus I can't justify spending an extra $150+ for the class and license (I live in IL). If I can have one handgun for all-around home defense, range time, and potentially carry in the future, that'd be perfect. I'm not worried about concealing something that large because I'm skinny and typically wear large shirts and/or hoodies throughout the year.

>>64161435
It's also not the first time I've had issues with it. I'm sure a few FTFs when I first started were because I was limp wristing, but after many many dry fire practices at home, deep cleansing, and watching videos and even learning in person, I still had some FTFs with the max 9.

>>64161478
The one I shot didn't say, but I think it was full size. The one I was looking at buying is the 4" compact. I've seen some on gunbroker that are around $400 used or LNIB. But after the shipping (at least $35) and the transfer ($45 - 50 here), I'm barely saving money, AND I don't get to see it or handle it in person. That's the only drawback to me keeping me from buying it online.

>>64161510
Splits? Love me some cut out heart abd spine targets

>>64161547
https://truegunvalue.com/pistol/ruger-max-9/price-historical-value

Looks like you might as well hold onto it as you're gonna get dick in return, even privately. Sure, but the PDP for home defense now and just save the micro 9 for when you move to a less gay state

>>64161558
wasn't timing it, just was slowfiring to confirm zero

I have like a 95% success rate at zeroing new sights at home. The one time I had issues was because that PX4 barrel shot 4 inches to the right and did so in several different slides.

the return to zero on this thing is very good, I think I have a 16-18 pound recoil spring and a 22 pound hammer spring

>>64161609
Both places I went to offered $150 for it, even with extra mags, holster, and the original box. Lame as fuck but to be expected. I'd sell it privately if it wasn't such a pain in the ass from what I've observed.

>>64161623
Shit yeah man, last night it was too dark to see my sights, I should go to the range right now with the 9mm build

>>64161493
For sure, a well tuned 2011 makes for a /k/omfy time

>>64161659
I think it's pretty cool. As long as you're man enough to shoot it fast.

>>64161658
Petersstahl, thats a multicaliber 1911 from germany. Buddies dad got one in 45ACP

>>64157490

Instinctually shooting at the backdrop for maximum tracer visibility, bucko

>>64161658
i had a P7 for a little bit, they do shoot really well.

>>64161623
Am I seeing things or is the rear sight dovetailed twice

>>64161895
"Hidden Bomar" style cut, where the irons are forward a little bit. It comes from cutting 1911 GI guns for adjustable sights reusing the existing dovetail pocket as a relief to hide the adjustable sight in the slide. Comes from Delta Force custom 1911s. The alleged benefit is that the adjustable sight is less susceptible from being bumped or damaged at the cost of 1/4 inch of sight radius.

I'm using a Springfield Operator TRP slide that has that cut. I'm using a Harrison Design fixed sight replacing the adjustable sight since it's cheaper.

>>64161916
Only the front one is a dovetail

I was told this was a bomar but it seems to be LPA and the bomar sight took a lot of fitting to make it work. I had put the sight on a little too early with my sight pusher and raped the rear sight

>>64161916
Thanks anon

I'm trying to catch up in the catalog with you project. Very cool!

>>64161290
Gun?

>>64161999
Checked
And the 9mm 80% I did

Is there any benefit to having grips that do not cover the backstrap of a revolver?

Does anyone here regularly shoot .44 Magnum or carry .44 Magnum? I was thinking of grabbing a .357 Magnum for carry but am tempted to say "fuck it" and go for a larger caliber. If I only have 6 shots, I guess I should go with more power.

Thoughts?

What NATO country uses .45?

>>64159388
Faggot

>>64162741
The United States, which also offloaded a large amount of WW2 surplus to poor European countries. There’s some salt mine in Ukraine that was full of Thompsons and .45 ACP. Also. NATO countries and their militaries are NOT operating in Ukraine. Westerners in the zone are primarily mercenaries and scientists.

The game has fucking spas 12, DAO-12s, and desert eagles. Western mercenaries would probably carry whatever the fuck they want. The USP being a high end “military” pistol it would likely show up.

I don’t see how the USP being in Stalker is outlandish if you know the lore. It’s more outlandish that there aren’t Glocks.

>>64160660
What's that 2 piece frame?

>>64162778
Cheely 2011 frame
MJD grip module cut for flush fit 120mm mags (standard 2011 mags are 126mm).

Is my best bet for a DA/SA carry gun the fucking PX4 Storm, or is there a better alternative I'm unaware of? The PX4 seems like a good gun but it's genuinely one of the ugliest things I've ever seen. Thinking of lugging around a 92 compact, but that's pretty bulky by my standards.

>>64162775
Go back to your country

>>64162785
Take the px4 pill

It’s so much nicer to carry than the 92 compact, the 92 compact has a harsh reminder that it’s they’re shoved down the front of your pants and the PX4 compact feels like it isn’t there in comparison

>>64162792
It's now just occurred to me the NPC's in Area 51 [1995] dressed that way years before Jill Valentine of Resident Evil

>>64162792
If I go that route, should I get a PX4 and then replace the hammer spring and trigger bar and whatnot myself, or should I just shell out for an LTT? Does Beretta sell any PX4s with an optics cut?

>>64162737
That's highly unusual, in order to qualify for NRA's range insurance they need every member to be an NRA member. Most ranges can't pay that insurance on dues alone

>>64162800
The most cost effective way is to buy used, score a compact for sub 500 ideally and then langdonize it to your price point. The hammer spring and trigger bar is like 70% or what the trigger job in a bag is but the px4 can have such a nice trigger with the full kit or the Beretta Competition trigger group + LTT trigger bar

Used Compact Carry’s are out there and most of them should come with the Beretta Competition trigger group (which is what LTT uses as a base for their trigger job), I say most because there was a period Beretta wasn’t making it and so LTT had to use stock trigger groups and so does the Compact Carry’s.


If you want things to be the way you want them from the factory, then perhaps buy a LTT. Beretta does not sell any optic cut PX4, I think Beretta officially distributes LTT guns now so they might “sell” a LTT.

>>64162820
Actually once I saw a PX4 Compact with like 400 dollars in aftermarket LTT parts go for 550 at auction.

Genuinely the only thing that holds me back from getting a Langdon Px4 is that it doesnt come with a red dot cover so if I ever decide to take off the dot the gun will just have a big chunk missing and look really stupid.

>>64162820
>check Armslist
>two PX4s for sale in my entire state, neither are 9mm

>>64162847

>decide to carry for the first time to the gas station for beer

well I guess I'm overthinking this thing

>>64162866
Even if you're printing a decent amount the only people who are gonna notice are those who actively look for the signs that someone is carrying a gun. Don't sweat it, though obviously yeah try to conceal it as best you can.

got one of these on order through my local gun shop, can't wait

checking for printing has made me look at myself in the mirror more these last few days than I have in years

Anyone have any recommendations for undershirts to use for concealed carry? I usually pocket carry during summer just because carrying a gun in a standard IWB holster without an undershirt chafes the fuck out of me, and it gets really hot during the summer where I'm at so I don't bother.

>>64162893
I wear shorts under my pants and hike them up to my belly button

Was my first handgun, did some tweaking to throw a match trigger and some of those greyguns kits into it. It's my favourite handgun. Even have a UTL with an LED bulb in it. GAMMA is fun and I like its portrayal in that. USP will be my never sell gun.

That being said I just finished building out a Glock Gen 1 (repro) with a MOE Gen 3 slide and some other bits and bobs to make it my modern carry piece for running out at the flat range and in the wilderness under NODs with a P2 so for now she gets to retire to my case until I get the hankering for .45 ACP again.

Go for it anon, USPs are fun, hope the BW retiring the P8A1 for the P13 (CZ P10F iirc) doesn't mean the parts become unobtanium bc it being a safequeen forever sounds like a sad fate.

>>64162897
y'know that sounds retarded but it might actually work, thanks anon I'll try that out

>>64162893
just get a couple packs of the cheap cotton tshirts and use those

>>64162785
You won't regret the PX-4 Compact if you actually shoot it. If you just want to carry a gun that looks cool, pick whichever you want

>>64162866
first time CCWing is always like that. You wont shake it for a little bit but eventually youll realize nobody is actively looking for you to be carrying so nobody notices. Ive got a friend who actively looks to see if he can tell if im carrying and he can never tell even though he knows im always carrying. The biggest problem with carrying is getting over the bulk and weight of the gun you are carrying, and you can play around with that

>>64159186
Namefags like Burt and other niggas kept insisting that the USP45 will explode / frame will crack if u suppress even with the 20 lb recoil spring and other shit, so I am hesitant to suppress. Is this true bc I dont think it is. I dont doubt long term suppression will increase wear and inevitably crack the frame but how bad is it really?

Anyone have experience with PDP compact 18rd mags in the PDP-F? I've seen some pics and I don't think over insertion is an issue but before I order some I want to check. I do plan on getting a full size PDP pro at some point so maybe it's better to get the full size 18rd and some spacers... Anyone have experience running those in a PDP-F?

Will Walther release PDP 45 soon?

>>64162967
Is it the same grip length as 15 flush? Because they should all fit, it's on the list of accessories Walther recommends for that gun: https://waltherarms.com/magazines/pdp-f-series

>>64162979
(no I don't have an F-series)

>>64162979
>>64162981
I've looked on that page and the only 18rd they have on there is the one intended for the PRO SD and it's double what the normal PDP compact 18rd costs. I have no idea if the PRO SD compact is the same grip length as the PDP/PDP-F compact.

>>64162403
Nice, I can't keep track of the cool 1911s in this thread.

>>64162783
I need to read up on the parts compatibility between 2011s and .45 1911s

do threads on this board hit the bump limit at 300 replies? I'm new here and I have a shameful handgun question

>>64163084
Yes, they will take your gun if they have to remove it from your ass in the ER

>>64163084
Like 320something, what's your question

>>64161659
Hell yeah brother

F series are not compatible with the magazine baggie, because women carry Louis Vuitton baggies. PDP that accept 18 round flush magazines are "full size". Only other grip length is SC, and they are dead.

>>64163097
what's something good for someone with weak womanly hands and spindly fingers? It is difficult for me to pull the trigger on the few handguns I've tried, but worried about an ND if I get something with too light of a trigger pull. I don't know what caused it, but my doctors used to think I had Marfan Syndrome (look it up, I pass the hand test unfortunately). Extremely long, weak fingers.

>>64163116
Carry or range? What's your grip strength? (I assume you got some measurements at doctors)

>>64163116
Ask to handle the Equalizer or the Shield EZ
they have a lighter trigger and slide racking system specifically for disabled people.
To compensate having a more dangerous gun it also has like three redundant safeties that prevent it from going off unless you really REALLY want it to.

>>64163116
While I think you should experiment with more traditional options to see if you can make them work, I was gonna say what this anon said >>64163132

>>64156566
They sometimes have cheap used and less lemons than broker

>>64163122
Range until I buy one. The only one I've used a few times was a glock 19, it took a bit too much effort to be practical. I don't have any measurements, the medical test is just "if your thumb sticks out when you close your palm over it", you're positive for that symptom.
>>64163132
Thanks fren

nearly everything, the barrels are usually different since most 2011 frames are cut for wilson nowlin or para ramps, since most 2011s are 9mm these days. However JEM makes a 2011 frame that has a standard barrel ramp, I used a Para cut ramp and a Fusion ""Match"" Barrel that just happened to drop in to my Springfield Operator TRP slide (I got from here https://www.uscollectorsordnance.com/product-category/1911-parts/1911-slides/ )

Getting the slide onto the frame was the hardest part since the slide was oversized in the dimension between the slide rails and the frame, so I had to file ALOT of the bottom of the slide to get it to get come on. I'm like 80 hours into this build or so.

I'm maybe 1500 or so in for parts

>400 dollar frame
>60 dollar grip safety
>435 dollar grip module + mag release
>70 dollar trigger
>200 dollar slide
>230 dollar bull barrel
>230 dollar bushing barrel I didn't use
>200 (300 dollar) trigger kit
>120 sights
>~120 dollars slide stop, safety cannibalized from previous projects, for both

>4x 80 dollar magazines
>3x 90 dollar magazines

yeah, buy the Kimber 2k11 if you want a .45 2011 and maybe you can play around with getting a not dumb looking slide for it later

I miss working overtime at the Phish concerts, there were a lot of constitutional scholars which were always good for a laugh.

>>64163156
>Range until I buy one
Anon probably meant intended purpose, guns optimized for target shooting tend to be large and heavy, which makes them very nice to shoot, including if you have to defend your home, but carrying one of those outside is difficult. On another hand, guns made to be easy to hide on your belt are small, but will be more difficult to shoot.
>It is difficult for me to pull the trigger on the few handguns I've tried
What were those guns? Double action revolvers often have very heavy trigger pull.

why's the slide on this S&W 915 so brown?

>>64163209
poop

>>64163192
Super cool man. Cheers.

>>64163207
Also being a walther shill, I pitch PDP F-series, as long as you are ok with manually cycling the slide.

>>64163207
Glock 19 and M&P Shield were the guns.

>>64163192
What's so special about the Cheely stuff? Those prices seem nuts, but maybe that's just the 1911 market. Makes me want to spin up my own models and start making 1911 parts.

>>64163224
Okay so you probably need a 3lb trigger to not struggle
Anything double action is out, most striker guns are out, and you'll have trouble racking most automatics.

S&W EZ with an apex trigger kit or a rootin tootin ruger valquero

>>64163212
i actually genuinely don't know. shouldn't this thing be steel? did the finish go brown with time or something, it's definitely not rust (i think)

>>64157967
About how long will ammo kept in the car last?

>>64158153
If given the choice Sa is preferable
Being able to tune the trigger pull weight is a big help

>>64163228
I'll give the EZ a try. Thanks

>>64163226
Around 300-400 bucks for a frame is standard.

Cheely’s E2 grip module with pinned grip safety is USPSA legal but if you took your existing grip module and pinned the grip safety it wouldn’t be legal. So lots of guys run the E2 grips since they can’t depress grip safeties for some reason.

Damn we had a good run but the troll OPs are back.

Retards with cerakote

Forgot to post. Canik isnt extracting the round. Brand new and fired only 4 rounds. Did that 4 times in a row. Not sure if limp wrist or recoil spring. But I saw something about an extractor spring fix.

>>64163209
Sometimes blued slides would end up plum or brown. Can't tell if that's the case here

>>64159159
>>64159176

Explain. The normal beretta 92 family pistols have barrels that reciprocate without tilting but the 80x is just a fixed barrel simple blowback.
