Which guns are pic related for you /k/?

>>64404803 (OP)
99% of /k/ has never owned a firearm

>>64404804
I own 4 SCAR 17s, an MG42, and a GAU 8. And my dad is Mark Serbu.

>>64404803 (OP)
Yeah. Basically every time I buy a pistol. The time it hasn't happened is with my Ruger mkIV. Nowadays, I keep a list of guns I want. I put something on there and then wait 8 months or so. If I still want it at that point, I'll actually budget for it and then buy it in another month or so.

There's an old joke about balkan proverbs. "If you ever feel the urge to work, sit down and wait, the feeling will pass." I've basically applied that to buying non-essentials. It gives time for passing wants and infatuations to fade out. Also gives me more time to sit with and enjoy the things I already own instead of just getting back on a treadmill of seeking novelty for novelty's sake.

>>64404803 (OP)
I bought a binary trigger. wish I had the 1000 bucks back, it's a meme.

>>64404803 (OP)
M1A Socom 2 I bid on while drunk.
Two RIA 1911s (9 and 10mm).
Citadel Arms tacticool .44 lever gun.
Vector.
And this fucking thing.

>>64404813
Bread on gau or it's larp

I'm sort of depressed in general rn but the one gun purchase I regret the most is my Rossi R95 in 45-70. By far. The gun itself was fine. But 45-70 is just the absolutely stupidest fucking cartridge. It's like somebody combined every single downside of every cartridge and put it into one. It's expensive. It's big so it's inherently low capacity. It's rimmed so it's incompatible with a box magazine. It has a shit ton of recoil. The trajectory is like a fucking rainbow. And the variety of loadings are comparable to 12 gauge so if you zero something at 100 it's not going to be accurate at 100 with anything else. I appreciate the history and cool factor, but if you want to actually use the thing it's thoroughly unenjoyable. Pic unrelated

>>64404893
That's an Australian shotgun though.
>45-70 is a stupid meme
Yes.

>>64404804
4chan receives ~20 million unique visitors per month.
half of those are American.
1/3rd of Americans live in a gun-owning household.

the average /k/ visitor would have a ~15% chance of being a gun owner. But 4chan biases strongly conservative and /k/ biases strongly towards gun ownership. I wouldn't be surprised if half of the unique visitors to /k/ were gun owners or are related to a gun owner. Gun ownership is a mainstream activity in the US, significantly more popular than snowboarding or camping. There is nothing special or exclusive about it.

>>64404804
firearms are not hard to get
they aren't even expensive
hell in most parts of the US you barely have to do any paperwork to get them
you literally just walk in and say 'i want that one' and tick a few 'i am not a felon' boxes on a sheet of paper that is immediately thrown away, and boom you got a gun
where does this 'no one on /k/ owns guns' rhetoric come from?

do they accuse people on the photography board of not owning cameras? is everyone on this horrible forum that fucking stupid?

Henry in .300 blk

american IPs. who knows where the actual poster is from

>>64404803 (OP)
my 10/22, which is the first gun I bought. It's an okay gun but I think it's boring to shoot, I wish I had gotten a bolt action or lever action .22 instead. a manual action would make for a better suppressor host as well, one thing I find cool about .22lr is how quiet it gets when you suppress it. I didn't pay that much for it and I don't hate it, so I don't regret it that much and I won't sell it.

>>64404803 (OP)
A single shot .22 from Marlin's shit days. It was only like $100 but it could fire with the safety on so I spent another $25 for a newer trigger and sear from eBay. Now the safe and fire markings on the receiver are wrong.

>>64404803 (OP)
I've had a lot of disappointments, usually when getting something expensive that should be good on paper. This has led me down the rabbit hole of cheap garbage where the expectations are low and some still fail.

Most recent one was a Taurus G2. Only got it because it cost almost nothing used, but it really doesn't do anything I need done that multiple handguns I own don't already do better. Although I didn't spend much money at all, the money I did spend on it is completely wasted because I can't re-sell it since it is practically worthless. I'll probably gift to somebody it at some point, but getting a Taurus as a gift is almost insulting.

>>64404866
I've started to do that now. I have a lot of redundancy and clutter in my collection, so I need to really think about the role that any future additions play in light of what is already in hand.

A good .22 pistol and rifle are on the do-need list though. MK IV is an obvious front runner, but the Taurus TX22 is compelling as an alternative.
>>64404881
Those Citadel leverguns are total dogshit. More than even the regular CBC lever actions are. What is so bad about the RIA 1911s though?
Also what can you tell me about that revolver. I know it's a pretty shitty design that dates back all the way to Arminius from West Germany in the 60s.
>>64404893
45-70 is pain unless you reload, then it's amazing.
>>64405008
Yeah Ruger has been around for 75 years now.

>>64404803 (OP)
i bought a brand new VP9 as a birthday gift for myself (it was an excuse to buy it). That was before i settled that i am never buying a new out of the box gun ever again, seeing as you can buy a new or like-new gun for hundreds of dollars cheaper all day long.

>>64404881
I have that same piece of shit revolver. It's never once failed to go bang, but it feels cheaper than a Taurus to hold and to shoot.

>>64404803 (OP)
CZ 527, CZ 75, Enfield rifle that turned out to be broken, CZ 97B
Basically why buy CZ at this point

>>64404978
>firearms are not hard to get
They are if you're bri'ish.

I bought several random surplus pistols and a CZ-75 that I almost never handle or shoot anymore, and I don't want to sell them because I still think they're kind of cool. I suppose it isn't full blown remorse but it made me more careful about future purchases.

I bought this convertered G98 .410 thinking it would be a fun do'er upper and something I could later flip for a profit.
Turned into a ballache, 90% of the work is done but it won't chamber since I replaced the extractor. Before it chambered but wouldn't extract and had visible damage to it.
Need to take it to a gunsmith but CBA to spend the time or money on it, but don't want to try and sell it not working.

>getting a Taurus as a gift is almost insulting.
Give it to a no-guns that wants to get into guns, with the caveat that it's cheap garbage but if they can learn on that they will be good with anything else.

>>64404803 (OP)
I own dozens of guns and don't regret any of them. That being said, I enjoy shooting 45 ACP and 7.62x39 the most, so I neglect the others.

>>64405190
Something like a SxS shotgun is relatively easy even for the UK, anything else and you're a bit fucked

>>64405213
Better pic

>>64405229
Hes half right because shot guns aren't classed as firearms and firearms require a few more hoops to jump though. Its pretty attainable though.

>>64405066
The RIA 9 I traded a Marlin 66 and 200 bucks for from coworker. He had sent it off to some shop to get tritium sights installed and they made an absolute fucking hack job of the front sight and notch, to the point I was never able to get another front sight to seat properly. I put some green loctite on the sight and sold it to a big box store (still got 300 bucks though).
The 10 just wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Takedown was a massive PITA because it had a bull barrel, I bought it in the middle of the pandemic so ammo was non existent and I had to buy dies, brass, and bullets for it. It didn't tickle my "ha ha big gun go big boom" fancy the way I thought it would.

The Windicator is a particularly special turd and has permanently turned me off anything imported by EAA. It's a .357 made by an airgun company. It's sloppy, no amount of loctite holds the single screw grip on. It feels like it's full of sand no matter what cleaning I do. It's got the old hammer rests directly on the firing pin. The trigger breaks like an old deep fried chicken bone, wetly and badly. The sights are atrocious. It, out of every turd purchase I've ever made, is my biggest regret. It's such a piece of shit I won't even give it away, it lives in my safe to remind me not to impusle buy shit (it was picked up on the way to a range trip). It's even worse than the GSG MP-40 repro I bought because at least that was cool.
>45-70 sucks unless you reload
Also yes.

>>64405128
The only used guns I can find locally are cheapo trash like hi points and taurus etc, or on the other end of the spectrum egregiously overpriced colt revolvers. There's no inbetween.

>>64405646
>4chan is almost entirey comprised of low wage shitters
Yes. guilty. I own guns and am a low wage shitter. I pointed out that cost is not a barrier given firearms can be acquired cheaply. Brings me to ask again where this dumb rhetoric originates.

>>64405728
this is also stupid. People touch each other normally (and constantly). I am more compelled to believe that statements like these come from outliers who do not interact with normal human beings being disproportionately heard when they complain. /k/ owns guns and touches women.

I got a mossberg 500 in 410 for squirrel hunts. It's fine, but I feel like it is simultaneously too much and too little gun. Too much because I have never ever actually needed or been able to get a follow-up shot on a squirrel, so I wonder why I didn't just get a single shot. Too little because I feel like going with something like a 20 gauge would have given me a more flexible one and done small game gun.

i owned a sw 442 for about 10 minutes before i realized i hated it

Did you ask him for a picture?

>>64405446
I've got loads of pictures of it to compare the before and after, it was a pretty amateurish project. And I was loving it until I thought it was finished and found it won't chamber any shells.
Now it's been a year and a half in the safe and I just want it gone.

I hate myself and I want to die.

>>64406323
Why

>>64404803 (OP)
Every full sized 9mm handgun ever

I never carry them
Subcompact versions accept the exact same magazines which results in the same grip purchase and capacity (or more)
I have no idea why I would ever need an extra 1.2 inches of barrel in a 9mm. If I wanted a more lethal pistol, it wouldn't be in 9mm.

Literally why bother if you can't have ammo that really, really benefits from velocity (armor piercing)?

>>64405604
You gotta do Leo trade ins. I've bought 2 beretta84's and a smith 4006 CHP tsw as leo trade ins. The 84s looked brand new like they had been sitting in an Italian warehouse for 40 years and the 4006 had some holsterware and that's it.

>>>64407324
The only Beretta 80 series pistol I ever handled was marked
>9mm short
in Clarksville Indiana of all places and the slide was practically welded shut. At 300 USD I couldn't pass it up. Carrie Anne Moss! If I hadn't see her sweet ass using one I never would've bought the gun.
I had no idea what cartridge it really took. I had to go home and look it up because the guy in the pawn shop didn't know either. The only ammo I could find was over 50 cents a cartridge at Meijer. This was back in 2009. When I finally got the thing out to the range I felt it bucked way more than necessary. Turns out it's a blowback operated pistol and I was shooting hot defensive loads. Really stupid combo for someone new to pistols like me at the time.
Pretty much ended all interest I had in the Beretta 80 series. Later traded it to a guy for a Steam account that Xenonauts on it. Still not sure if the Beretta or Xenonauts was worse.

>>64405066
>MK IV is an obvious front runner, but the Taurus TX22 is compelling as an alternative
The SW22 and buckmark are also good. In general, I don't trust .22 pistols that don't look goofy. If you get the TX22, just get the comp version.

>>64404893
Tell me more about the pic unrelated. I need to be talked out of a possible bad financial decision

>>64407424
Kek I think the matrix was where my infatuation with them started as well. When I bought the first one I had it in my head it would be a good girl gun for my now ex. Turned out she couldn't handle racking the slide (it is a pretty tough slide to rack) but I wound up loving it. I personally think it shoots more pleasantly than a ppk and the little polymer/striker 380s I've shot, but I've never tried anything really hot in it, even though these are supposed to be some of the better 380s for hot ammo. It's a good carry gun for me, concealable but still feels like a real gun and is fun on range day to practice with. Never played xenonauts so idk about that but I loved jagged alliance so I've thought about checking it out. You didn't like it?

>>64404803 (OP)
I got an 84BB recently, surplus from Italy. It's a cool gun but boy fucking howdy does it suck to shoot. I grew up on small blowback .380s but it's still fucking wild how terrible this thing is to shoot. I was expecting something the size of a G19 to be way easier on my hand. I don't hate it enough to sell it but it's definitely relegated to a desk gun from this point forward.

>>64406102
It sucks a lot less if you put a bigger grip from a model 60 on it.
>>64407495
I should clarify that both of the 22s need to be suppressor hosts as well. The TX22 should do that but are there threaded buckmarks and SW22s?

>>64404803 (OP)

Probably. Everything is threaded these days.

>>64404803 (OP)
CZ P09

Very high capacity but its just a shit gun. Two extra rounds is not worth how shitty and plastic it feels and all the small parts that fail. Glocks somehow feel nicer than that POS. After 1000 rounds I gave up on it. Only HK and Glock for me.

My brass Henry in 357, its really nice but almost too nice. I think its too flashy to bring in the woods and 357/38 is pricey compared to the other calibers I use, so it sits in my safe looking classy while I take everything else into the field or competition. The worst part is that it's also too nice to get rid of, like the moment its gone I'll instantly figure out what I could have used it for

>>64405190
No they are not. There's even less restrictions than most of the US. Its the ammo that's the problem for the Bongs.

>>64408709
Licensing alone is more restrictive than the worst American states for getting rifles. You cant even fire slugs out if shotguns without a firearm license.

>>64408709
This. The “British gun laws are bad” narrative is a falsehood by assmad vatnik browns seeking to tarnish the reputation of the UK among American audiences, nothing more.

>>64409295
Get back to us when you can put up barbed wire in your backyard, bong.

>>64409295
But they are bad, I'm a brit and I can honestly say that. In some areas your waiting for a year to even get your license and some departments are making the process hard on purpose because they don't want people having guns.
Once you get a firearms license, your limited to a certain number of guns on slots and only in caliber the police have approved of you having. Same goes for ammo quantities. There is no State in the US with more restrictive firearms laws than the UK, even California.

>>64409295
>The “British gun laws are bad” narrative is a falsehood
Really?
A friend in the UK has to get various licenses to keep his firearms. He's limited to calibers. He's limited to specific uses. He has to keep some at the gun club. He has to renew his licenses, if he fails to do so, he forfeits the firearms. It's really, really fucked up.
>I call bullshit on "brit gun laws aren't bad"

>>64404803 (OP)

only one is a m76 rifle converted to manual action. beautiful rifle, but it felt crippled with the conversion, the piston stump, the solder points...

i heard the trigger resetting, i decided to sell it and buy one with all the bits in place

You don't need a license to own quite a lot of firearms in the UK if they are considered an "obsolete" caliber. That makes the UK a surprisingly decent place if your only interest is collecting firearms. Shooting them though is another matter and you will need a license for that.

>>64404958
American here- I have 2 shotguns, 2 pistols, a bolt action rifle, and an ar-15.

>>64410979
In other words, the UK is a shitty place when it comes to gun ownership. In states like Minnesota, they'll make you have a permit to purchase handguns and ar-15's, but purchasing and firing ammo is fine, and you can keep guns in your house. In Georgia, you don't need a permit to carry anymore, but you still can get 1 if you're going to another state, and you don't have to lock 'em up per se, especially w/ no kids in the house (still a good idea). You don't need a permit to purchase for anything down here. The gun laws are so relaxed, I feel like I'm in heaven sometimes. However, the restrictions on hunting are a different story when it comes to using firearms.

>Which guns are pic related for you /k/?
Tricked out MDRX in 308, including the silly bipod handguard thing. I swapped it for a simpler WLVRN in 300bo and now I'm happy. Basically (as has happened in my younger days in other areas) I fell for the perennial temptation of
>"why not just have a single thing that does it all! it'll be so much simpler!"
But (DUH) the old "jack of all trades, master of none" is still a repeated saying for good reason. The do-it-all-battle-rifle ended up being something that seemed cool on paper but just didn't work for me. She was a fatty, yet not remotely as enjoyable as a good bolt gun at longer range, and also wasn't as enjoyable as something lighter at <300yd. So I learned I prefer guns more optimized at each end of the spectrum enough that she quickly entering the dread domain of Safe Queen. Oh well.

>>64405646
>low wage shitters who simply can't afford guns
everyone can afford guns. cheap pistols are $250, AR-15s are $400. Guns are cheaper now than they have ever been.

>>64410979
That used to mean something before they took everything apart from the absolute most obscure calibres off the list

>>64404803 (OP)
Vepr in 7.62x54r. the cheap ammo was nice, then suddenly it wasn't cheap anymore (thanks Oputin). But the gun itself was pretty meh and in hindsight not worth the price.

>>64404803 (OP)
Make plans to use the object, dummy.

>>64404803 (OP)
A long time ago, I bought a Kimber 1911 off of a friend.
The gun shoots fine, can't really complain about that, but
>9mm
I love 9mm handguns, I've got a ton of them that I really like, but why do I even bother keeping this thing when I would be happier selling it and buying a proper .45 1911?
Who even wants a 9mm 1911? Californians, maybe?

>>64410979
>you don't need a license to collect guns if your not going to shoot them
What sort of fucking cope is that, I have guns to shoot not have as a manly funky pop collection. You might as well get airsoft or air guns in that case. Plus any nice obsolete firearms are ridiculously expensive, as are deactivated ones. It's cheaper to get a licence and buy actual guns.

>>64411039
You can keep your guns at home in the UK.
>restrictions on hunting
Will be far laxer than anything in UK. There's no land you can just shoot on, you need landowners permission (not happening unless you are friendly with them) and the land needs to be approved by the police for the caliber your going to fire. All the land is parcelled up and your never far away from a road or someone's house unless your far up North. And still all the land there is owned by large estates or private farmers.

>>64404872
Do they legit cost $1,000?? What the actual fuck.

>>64407745
I mean if you shoot it for how it was intended, it's pretty neat. Hearing safe rifle cartridge the size of a pistol caliber carbine that cycles well in full auto.
Take away any of those details and you have the worst aspects of both rifles and pistols. I'm an FFL so I get to enjoy the full auto part, but I don't know why the larpers and sheep dog gen x dudes get so obsessed with them, it's an objectively shitty caliber for any any purpose.

>>64408709
Bitch I can buy literally anything short of a 20mm auto-cannon with a literal handshake. Whatever your imagination is about protocol for purchasing a firearm is in the US, it's about 900 times more cavalier. UK is a hell hole for gun rights objectively.

>>64412104
UK is just a hell hole full stop. Doesn't mean there isn't a lot that can't be bought in the UK though by handshake as well. Anons are also taking the very wrong lessons from this. The way firearms are restricted in the UK is actually quite clever in that they are not when you look into it, its the ammo that is essentially restricted by basically pricing out the plebs and making it really about land ownership. Burgers should beware that such shit is never successfully pulled in the US.

For those of us without infinite money, getting all of these in a single gun is just a good deal. The gun can be whatever you want.

An old Winchester Model 12 that was kitted out as a trench shotgun. It was neat, but I learned I don't like the Model 12. Feels like the slides on all pumps besides the 870 have way too much slop and wobble.

I didn't buy any of them but I have owned three Marlin Model 60s and they were all absolutely atrocious pieces of junk. Bad triggers, worse reliability and ergonomics on par with plumbing supplies clamped to a 2x4.

You can get a replacement for the bolt handle that lets you lock the bolt closed, which prevents it from cycling and basically turns it into a bolt-action on command. I'm planning on getting one for the suppression.

Wow, I guess this is what it feels like to be the 1%.
TQ: Back when I was first starting out I got a maverick 88 for my wife. Figured it'd be better because it's lighter, right? Ha ha. It's a good gun, but the kickback leaves her with bruises every time she fires it. Shorty shells + an adapter makes it OK, but I kind of wish I had gotten her a carbine from the get-go.

I agonize over every decision, get analysis paralysis for weeks on end, then spend months bargain hunting only to find that something happened in the mean time like a shortage or a big youtuber making a video that gets millions of views that blows the used market value of what I wanted up. Then I wind up buying it for a price I scoffed at when I started bargain hunting before selling it at a loss because the interest has passed. It's not buyer's remorse. It's just autism.

This is exactly how I feel about fullsize 9mms as well. All the ones I own just seem overly huge for what they are. The cartridge was designed for the Luger P08, which has a 4" barrel. Really the only reason to go much longer than that is to have more weight out front to negate recoil if you're a compfag. I'm gonna carry something with a 4.6-5" barrel, it's gonna be a 45.

I like Xenonauts if I change it until the game works for about 5 minutes before crashing to the desktop.
I gave up on .380 because cause I'm skinflint. I'll always love looking at the Beretta 80 series pistols. If Beretta makes 9mm version with their 90 series short recoil operating system I will be one it like white on rice on a paper plate in a snowstorm. Also

Don't let yourself become a trigger snob or you'll never be able to use a normal gun

I wish i never even considered buying a Kahr CW9 pistol, biggest piece of dogshit ive ever had the displeasure of firing. the stupid front sight would not stay on, it flew off 2 times under 150 rounds, being sent back to them each time for repair, so i sold the thing for super cheap just to get rid of it. horrible, horrible, they should not be making guns.

Kinda. Bought one of those gforce arms 357 magnum lever actions for 400$ . Psa didnt disclose the receiver was aluminum with steel inserts. Action is pretty smooth but it feels very fucking cheap . Finish on the loading gate was completely ruined after loading 1 tube to test feeding. Havent shot it yet but im not in a rush to shoot it.

>>64404803 (OP)
PTR-91 I got in 2018. I sold a colt 6920 to my brother to fund getting the PTR. I was convinced I was into BRs and it made the most sense to get because of mag prices, ability to shoot the DAG taining ammo with the UB bolt, and muh hekkin slaperino. Well I took it to the range and it did not get through a single mag and I knew it was something with the bolt because it ran flawlessly with the UB bolt and DAG ammo. The malfunctions were so bad I had to field strip the rigle no less than four times at the range. That was my main issue, but to summarize my other issues: pistol grip had a thumbswell molded into it with dig into the web of my hand (lefty), charging handle is in the absolute worst spot for a lefty, 100m sight is beyond worthless, getting home I learned G3s are the most filty pieces of shit and was awful to clean, bolt is a fucking nightmare to take apart and put back together. I have since sold that and built an Israeli FAL. While its a significant improvement over the PTR I have learned I am just not that into BRs. I also have a Garand in 308 I have never gotten to run right. I honestly need to stop being nostalgic for those two and just sell them off and be rid of BRs finally.

My second regret is every pistol I have bought after my M9. I have learned I am a sucker for the locking block system on the Beretta 92 family. The recoil impulse is so much nicer than on any browning action semi-auto I have ever shot. I spent years trying to find a handgun I really love but I had it from the start. My M9 was my first and honestly I need to just sell off all my other full sized handguns. Only thing I want besides it is a Smiff Bodyguard 2.0 for carry and maybe a Beretta 84..but I have been seeing people in this thread say they are kind shit so now I don't know on that one.

>>64425024
lmao, anybody who thinks shadow 2 is a good pistol cant shoot
that piece of shit will drop you from a 97 score at 25 meters to 85

if it was good, TS2 and shadow 2 target wouldnt have an "improved" trigger mechanism, even the manufacturer knows its shit

it was Franklin Armory, bought it with a lower built in so I could have the cool SEF controls, but ultimately it's just goofy nonsense. Should have just bought 1000 dollars worth of 9mm. Put it up for sale on tacswap, surely someone else is excited about this.

>the first US military brass rifle cartridge that predates the invention of bottlenecked cartridges by 20 years, was loaded with black powder, and made for a single shot rifle sucks because it isn’t like my modern rifle cartridges
>I want to zero my rifle and shoot twenty different loadings through it at the same zero which isn’t anything you can do with any other ammunition even if they’re the same fucking projectile weight
I can’t believe a 150 year old cartridge has some downsides compared to modern ammunition, Anon. If you need to it be good at something then it is still a good loading for a lever action bear defense trail carbine or because of dumb local laws in certain locations it’s a great option for hunting deer or for hunting deer regularly but in scrubby areas where you’re going to be 30-50 yards away from them. Also, if your goal is to suppress a gun and make it as quiet as possible while still being killy then a manually operated suppressed 45-70 rifle shooting subsonic ammo loaded with a huge fucking chunk of lead is about the best you can do.

>>64405533
If you think 12gauge slugs, even from a rifled barrel, will be anywhere near as accurate as 45-70 then you’re retarded.

>>64418434
You and I both, my friend. I've been going nuts the past few months researching leverguns and the calibers for them. I think I've settled on a Winchester 1894 in .44 Mag, but I need an alternative if my LGS doesn't have it when I get back home.

That brings another purgatory of research.

My first gun was a Sig P320 X5 Legion. I customized it by replacing the slide and barrel with a shortened version, so I could add a flush compensator. A gas pedal. Recoil reduction spring and guide rod. Red dot sight. Extended magazines. Safariland holster.

And then more and more reports, lawsuits and settlements concerning it's grenade feature.

Get this as it decreases the action noise quite a bit. Shoot subs and it's super quiet. Not bolt action quiet but still damn quiet. I have one in two 10/22s (pic related).

Might also want to get their auto-bolt release; great feature IMO. Less necessary would be something like their extractor, though I have one and like it. The target hammer is also something nice to have but very much not necessary, but nice for my hunting rifle (pic unrelated).

I was running Malaysian surplus ammo through it. I don't know how much more milspec I can get. Either way if I need to run the 'right' ammo through a rifle to get it to function I fail to see the purpose of it then.

I bought a CZ P-09 years ago, and it's by far the easiest centerfire pistol to shoot in my collection, but I hardly ever shoot it because it's so damn big that I never carry it or even take it anywhere other than the shooting range. I was just getting interested in carrying at the time I bought it so all my guns were range guns only, but 11 years later, it's on permanent night stand duty and my only other full size handgun purchase since was a 1911.

I don't regret it, but if I knew that I was going to be turned off of full size handguns soon after buying it, I would have gotten something cooler.

>>64427156
>Do you like your wlvrn?
Yes, though I got it in 300bo. From what I've seen 308 continues to be the worst of the chamberings for it, unlike the MDR it's at least functional but mediocre accuracy etc. But also unlike the MDR they shaved a lot of weight and sorta refocused it onto the lighter calibers which makes more sense imo. It's a mild bummer I guess that they couldn't get their QC under control enough to make the FE work but I'm not doing tacticool hot swap so it doesn't actually bother me.
>I've always wanted an MDR but avoided it because of the countless teething problems.
Wise. Some people got good guns that worked perfectly for 10k rounds but others got guns that broke after one shot (literally). You had to really be willing to roll the dice with something not cheap. Warranty service was gold standard for me at least, but that didn't mean it got fixed, rather you got fresh dice rolls. Seems pretty dialed in now though. But if you want 300bo SBR you would want to wait until next year.

>>64428565
Good to know. I was looking at a .308 too and I know they're historically the most problematic ones. Worst case I suppose I can pick it up in 5.56 if it's good to go, then grab the .308 conversion later if they eventually fix it.
