Hello, I started the thread here because it seems like the most appropriate for my topic. I will soon be going to a military college and would like to know if anyone here has any tips or advice on how to succeed at a military college/academy.

you don't own more than one ar?

It seems people on /k/ are in one of two places financially.

1. They are your typical 4chan poorfag.
2. I'd like to add 4 MG42s to my vault.

I feel like I'm the rare upper middle class person here. I'm about to go to college and money isn't a problem, but I'd like to make sure a get the right degree so I can own some expensive guns one day. (Currently own a basic Colt AR)

What degree should I get? I'm good around computers and I seem to have a fantastic public speaking ability. What's the best degree for these skills for maximum cash after college?

CASH=MG42s

yes. Talking about totally average man vs totally average woman going actually 100% I'd guess 1v3 might be enough. But women tend to be less aggressive, less likely to go at it 100%, so you might need 1v5.

Military contracts aren't about delivering viable hardware. They're about leeching as much taxpayer money as possible and making sure everyone from the Joint Chiefs, the lobbyists, the senators and the CEOs of the contracting companies gets their cut. Who gives a fuck if it doesn't work and every soldier dies using it in the field?

Talk me into or out of buying a new p229 in 9mm for $650. Or an alternative, but I live in CA, so I don't have a big selection.

This my first semiautomatic pistol, but I already have a .308 precision rifle, a .357 mag revolver, and a 10mm carbine.

>P229 for 650

That's a hell of a deal
>>
>>34292674
Are you sure it's new and not certified preowned? Because it it's new (and if that's an out the door price), then that's a great deal.

A few things to keep in mind about the P229 9mm:

First, there are two frame variants, and I believe both are currently in production. The first is called P229 and comes with 13 round magazines, same as the original P228. The second is called the P229-1 (it is only marked as such on the left side of the barrel) and it comes with 15 round magazines. There's no real pros or cons of either frame aside from the capacity. My understanding is that the P229-1 was introduced when Sig started using the .40 caliber frame and putting a 9mm slide assembly on it. Keep in mind that you can get 15 round, flush-fitting magazines made by Mec-Gar that will fit the guns with the old style magwell, but Sig's own brand of 15 round P229 magazine won't fit if you have a gun with the old style magwell.

The second thing to keep in mind is that there is a version of the P229 with half height slide serrations and a short extractor. The version with the full height slide serrations has Sig's newer long extractor. If you believe stories posted on Sig Sauer gun forums, the long extractors are prone to premature breakage, while the short extractors are more durable. That's not to say that you can't shoot a long extractor Sig for 10,000s of rounds without issue, just that they are a little more likely to break, on average.

Finally, with aluminum alloy frame Sigs, you will have to use gun grease on the frame rails to prevent premature wear. If you use gun oil, or you don't keep the grease refreshed after every range trip, your gun WILL beat itself to death under normal use. If you want a Sig not susceptible to this issue, you should either get an all steel Sig (most Elite variants) or a West German gun (original P228), since the blued steel used in their slide construction was less harsh on the frame rails.
>>
>>34293045
What about a P229 Enhanced Elite in 40S&W that's very slightly used for $730?

That rail wear bothers me, even though I'm good about using grease.
