after shooting a 1911 my whole life, I have been convinced that 9mm is a superior cart for EDC. But I'm torn - the Shield only holds 9 rounds, vs the double stack 2.0 which holds 18.
I'm not expecting to get into any drawn out gun battles. What do you guys think, is the 2.0 a ton bigger than the shield? How much more of a pain would it be to conceal carry?

After all that 1911 time you should just move on to another overpriced played out meme gun like the USP or the M9
>>
Just imagine a thicker, but lighter 1911 with a shorter slide. Get the in between option, the M&P 9c if you are dead set on S&W. Otherwise, check out the VP9/VP9sk. Sig P320 is another option or Glock 19/26

My 1911 is a 1945 hand me down. Old as fuck but fun and reliable. Shit capacity tho. Also kys.

What is war going to look like when every country is just using robot soldiers? What makes that different from a video game?

There was a gun made specifically for it by the KGB.
On the flipside I don't think most "normal" guns would fit and then be easily retrievable from the ass of anyone who isn't WAY into large dragon dildos.

So on July 1, my university will be open to carry freely on, but the university has put some stipulations on it. Most I am okay with (must be concealed, or locked up when not in use, ect), however they passed a "rule" that you cant carry with one in the pipe or on a loaded cylinder. This is virtually unenforceable, but could they really do anything if someone got caught? I will carry pic related so printing is a non issue. Thoughts?

Yeah that is what i am thinking. I carry +1 everywhere and i don't want to have to think twice if i have to rack it or not. It is a weapons policy that has ambiguous consequences for breaking-essentially leaving you to the mercy of campus PD.

The 1911 is the gun when you want everyone to know you're a 89iq individual

No, it's the gun you use when you want to actually hit your target instead of spraying and praying.

They were used, but they were (and are) useful in only a few situations. Rifles were (and are) much better.

because it was considered a war crime

Howdy, boys. I'm looking to remake pic related as an AR10/LR308 and while I thought wood furniture would be the hardest thing to come by, it's actually the upper receiver that's the issue. Anybody know of any company that makes an A1 style upper for an AR-10.

I've already found the furniture. I need an A1 style upper is all.

>>34092960
Need an A1 with a FA and a brass deflector, I think C7 uppers are like that. Best bet is to spend a lot of time on gunbroker or head over that AR website with the marketplace. You'll also need a fence-less lower, do you have that too?

Why was it so effective, anons?
In an era of metal-skinned, monocoque, cannon-armed, supercharged monoplanes, the Swordfish remained a viable and effective weapon.
Why?

because it was designed to torpedo shit, and lo and behold it was good at torpedoing shit
>>
>>34092791
But surely as technology moved to counter ever more aircraft (such as radar controlled AA) it really should have suffered more than it did.
More modern Japanese designs seemed to have less success in the same role.

Very rugged, could fly very low, didn't need a lot of runway, could operate from almost anywhere.

Read "To War in a Stringbag" if you want a first hand account of the people that flew it. it's a good read too.
