Military

That's a pretty good list. .25 ACP master race.

>>28490170

Care to explain?

>>28490050
Uh huh, sure...

>>28489782

>superior

Not the case.

All pistol rounds are underpowered BARELY LETHAL short range garbage. All service pistol calibers perform about the same in real world situations (9mm, .40, .45, .357 sig) and only marginally beat out smaller pistol rounds like .32 acp, .380, 9x18 from a purely penetration standpoint using jhp.

If you have your choice of ANY pistol/pistol caliber in the world and ONE rifle not your choice to grab in a HD or SD scenario and you even entertain the thought of "which pistol should I-" you are fucked up and should fix yourself.

9mm is less lethal than .45/.40 which is better for police work. You don't want to kill people most of the time. A .38 would be even better really. .45 for self defense because in a shooter/home invasion situation it isn't about capacity, it's about being deadly. 1 lethal shot is better than 2 or 3. .40 for everything else because it's the ideal mix between capacity and stopping power. Of course, this is my opinion. The best gun and caliber for you is the one you're most effective with. If you can use a .22 or .25 ACP better than a .45, get that. It's all about personal preference and ability.


Actually, dont buy a .25 ACP under any circumstance.

>>28490812
Except the "lethality" of 9, 40, and 45 is so similar that any difference is completely insignificant. There's nothing one of them can do that another can't.

That said, I like 45 because I'm simple minded and it's a less complicated caliber and it's cool because it's American. Also I like 1911s and 1911s are most reliable in .45 ACP.

I can't begin.... fuck. A 1911 is a amazing engineering feat for its time, same for the 45 ACP. However your patriot biased leads me to believe any opinion and experience is Murrica. Caliber preferences are subjective, lethality is scientific. Any caliber can be lethal and and any firearm can be functional. Though there are plenty of shit American designs, plenty of lax quality control and plenty of broke-dick 1911's produced by American companies. It's a complex design where at the time required hand fitting. Today you can enjoy a modern custom made example and expect to pay significantly more than competitive models. Enjoy what you can afford however a trend with present times is mass produced, competitively priced, similar items will continue to out sell those higher priced goods. However a Nighthawk Custom won't be in my glove box, nor will it be riding on my hip during long camping trips, or being confiscated by PD when used in a SD situation. My scuffed and beat to hell G21 can fill that role. Not a tear will be shed or curse uttered if it crumbles to dust in my fingers. I have zero attachment to it or my cheaper hand tools like Stanley, they are useful and replaceable which suits my needs.

Of course the Fedora is an outdated design. It came from an era when headwear was designed to be tipped, not to avoid gentlemanly conversation lawsuits. It came from an era where it was the norm to learn how your m’ladys operated and to practice being a gentleman until it became second nature, not to design the headwear to the lowest common denominator. It came from an era in which our country tried to supply its gentlemen with the best garments possible, unlike today, when our non-euphoric men and women are issued headware that was adopted because of international deal-making or the fact that the factory is in some well-connected God believers district. Yes, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the Fedora IS an outdated design… and that’s exactly why I tip it.

How wrong can you be?

How new are you to firearms?

Every single firearm on the planet needs "hand fitting," or in other words, the parts need to be within certain dimensions for the firearm to function. Does that make sense?

The "hand fitting" bullshit started with companies like Wilson Combat who DELIBERATELY oversize their components so that yes, you have to file it down to get it to fit into your gun. They believe it increases accuracy. Does it? I don't know but for a combat handgun, not enough for me to give a shit. Maybe for competition, sure.

The original design of the 1911 was such that hand-fitting was precisely and specifically NOT required, BY DESIGN. That was the whole point of the design. You can see how, logistically, it was much more attractive to have interchangeable parts. The fact is, production guns do this much better than your "custom" guns. Even then, custom guns are still reliable. Matthew Graham is still shooting his Nighthawk GRP Recon after 10,000 rounds and it's still going strong with zero issues.

Nice job comforting yourself on your "scuffed and beat to hell G21" too. I'm glad it makes you feel cool. Yeah I've never seen a 1911 that has seen years of heavy use and continues to be dependable, have you?

But your thick-ass brick, even though it's cheap, has a sketchy past, and is about as fun to shoot as it is to jam toothpicks into my fingernails, will be reliable enough for you and that's fine. Yeah, Glocks work. But don't you fucking say for a second 1911s don't.

A nice Colt or Springfield is around twice the price of a Glock. If cost really bothers you that much, then... feel free. I prefer to have a safe, shootable, carryable, ergonomic, reliable and durable gun that's field-serviceable and straddles the line between carryability, cobcealibility, shootability, safety, and readiness for service absolutely perfectly.

Glocks work sure, but that's about the one and only thing they do well.

>>28492933

>Glocks work sure, but that's about the one and only thing they do well.

Sure thing bro, stop being a fanboy, all you're doing is making people who actually like guns think you're retarded

>>28492947
Glocks are not comfortable.

They are not shootable compared to other designs.

They are otherwise equal to other designs. No better, no worse.

The extra capacity gives you extra bulk. That's just the physical reality. It's a tradeoff.

What exactly is so special about Glocks? The only objective complaint against 1911s is the capacity, but I'm not going to be providing covering fire with my fuckin pistol like Chris Costa seems to think he will be doing with his 9,000-round ultra tactical death machine ultra reliable magazines. Also, it's a tradeoff you get for the slimness and concealability of the single stack. At that point it's personal choice.

>>28492165
How often do you lose/ break your gun to warrant buying a new one?

You pay a higher price for the 1911 because it's obselescent in design and manufacturing technique that warrants higher costs over a injection-molded glock. Example, gun is made entirely of steel, which is much harder to tool than modern guns that use extensive use of plastic for the reason of cost-cutting.


But it's by no means unaffordable. Quit being so poor.

>>28493009

No because that isn't what hand fitting is. Apparently you missed the industrial revolution and reliably interchanging parts.

What's to argue, you're retarded, anyone who likes guns would never be as retarded as your retardation about glocks has been, we all get it, you're a retarded ass fanboy with retarded ass opinions and you're sure as fuck gonna let us all know how retarded you are, we're all very impressed retard, I can't wait for the next installment of retard gun reviews from you, you're my favorite retard that was ever retarded (y)

>>28493078
Apparently you know nothing about 1911s and did not read the rest of my post.

If someone made Glock roll pins that were deliberately 20% larger than they needed to be with the idea that you or your gunsmith would need to hand fit it to fit into your Glock so that it would fit, does that mean that Glocks would "need hand fitting to be reliable?" No it's fucking fabricated by manufacturers and it is a deliberate move.

The original 1911 design was the farthest thing from "custom hand fitted" as humanly possible BY DESIGN.

Ok. While much of this comes down to personal preference, 1911s are not as reliable as modern design for a comparable price point. Why you think that isn't objective is beyond me apparently. It is no longer slim in comparison to other single stacks, which is what made it desirable in the past.

To add to this, the only reason I would get a Glock is if I wanted a 10mm. I find the ergonomics to be uncomfortable on all glocks I've fired, except the glock 20. Shot softer than .40 or 9m.

>For a comparable price point

We can all agree the 1911 does nothing as well as any gun at a comparable price point.
Please refer to my above statement about the cost of manufacturing being inherently higher for a quality 1911 product.

That being said, unless you're captain poorfag you can afford whatever handgun you prefer. if you prefer a cheaper handgun that is no-nonsense, get a glock. If you want a quality steel product that will last a lifetime and look good doing so, it's really not a lot more money. A colt runs about 800 bucks or so from what ive' seen.

I didn't say 1911's don't work retard. They just don't work as well. There's a single video you posted where a 1911 (Glock vs. 1911) appears to malfunction slightly less frequently but you can't even see the fudd dirtying up the guns so you have no idea what he's actually doing. The MAC video is the only one that's kinda impressive.

>>28495953
Don't work as well? What does that even mean? You can't fire 50,000 rounds in succession without a malfunction? I don't expect that out of any gun because it's unrealistic. Just how many rounds do you plan on firing in a self defense situation? 5? 15? 20? Even 500? Literally any non-shit modern manufacture firearm will do just fine and will function reliably 100%.

I'm just sick of the 1911 parrot meme bullshit. It comes from the 70s and 80s when it was actually true but it's just not anymore. I don't even own a 1911. In fact I have a Glock on my hip right now. But 1911s are fuckin great and they are reliable and durable and great shooting guns. They're easy to shoot accurately and the most concealable full-size gun on the market. I have also grown to appreciate manual safeties and will be switching carry guns as soon as funds allow.

Should I buy a new handgun or just convert my Glock 23 to a 9mm?

>>28496346
I have heard reports of the conversions being less than reliable...

I would just save up a few hundred more and buy a dedicated 9mm. Or sell/trade the 23. But I don't like .40 so... you are probably different.

>>28496396
Haven't really been a fan of the .40 either, that's why I'm looking for a 9mm or converting the one I have.

I like both calibers. My pistols are all in .45 though, except my PPK which is in .380. My carry gun is a USP compact .45, though I may pick up a couple 9mm in the future. Also I have a USP45 Tactical as a field/fighting pistol. Next pistol will probably be a 1911 just for shits, then some CZ pistols (SP01, P01) in 9mm.

I like having just two calibers, 45 for all my pistols and 5.56/.223 for my rifles. Makes ammo stocking easier.

As in they require frequent cleaning and part replacement to function reliably compared to modern guns. As in they are more expensive than a modern gun of equivalent quality. As in they have useless parts like the grip safety that impede use. As in their magazines hold a relatively small number of rounds, and you may not even be able to make them hollowpoints unless you have a new one or you have an aftermarket feed ramp.

It was an amazing gun for its time, but it has been outclassed time and again since at least 1935.

True. But for all the other benefits, how much capacity do you really need? I feel good with 9 for CC + spare and 11 for HD. I would love if it held 50 rounds but I'm not that worried about capacity.

>won't feed JHP
Nice meme.

I own several weapons,
but due to ease of use,
accuracy,
and familiarity,
the Beretta 9mm I own is my go to weapon
It isn't the most powerful, lightest, or prettiest weapon
but for me, it is the most effective

>>28489782
9mm couldn't even take out a guy sitting in a patrol car at point blank.

It's like Chicago fags not shutting the fuck up about their pizza.

Mayb3 your pizza is not s hot shut as you think it is when you keep on having to promote it, when a New Yorkers says their pizza is the best once in a calm and unexcited manner and never bring up the issue again.

1911's don't work that well.

>>28489782

Nines are hardly all-purpose.
I suppose they're OK for plinking, but the lack of power makes them useless for defense. You'll be better off carrying a flipping airgun.

>>28493032
a guide rod 1911 is sexier

Glock is superior to 1911

5.7x28mm does everything 9mm does, but then more.

>Tfw cops in your county used to carry 9mm

>tfw the sheriffs deputy was stabbed and seriously injured
>tfw when all cops in your county now carry .40s and .45s
>Inb4 stopping power is just a meme
Ballistics and Internet claims aside, when you become a LEO and see first hand a guy on a crack bender shake off mace, a taser and a couple 9mm rounds, you carry a larger caliber

Except in ammo availability, price, a large selection of guns that can shoot it that aren't expensive.

>>28499302
He should have shot him more.

>>28499223
You can pick up cheap ammo from walmart for it. 5.7 costs almost 2 grand. Yeah ill keep my 9. The only reason i got a 9 is that it has cheap ammo

>>28489972
exactly what i was gonna write.

>>28499388
Cant*
:(

>>28499223
Is there some kind law thing that prevents other gun companies to make guns in that caliber?

I feel like a 1911 or glock chambered in 5.7x28 would help sell the caliber.


That being said, I'm suprized there is not a 1911 in .40

>>28499408
Its a meme gun. Also the pistol grip has to be huge to hold the rounds. Its an issue. There is a reason it wasnt adopted into the military

>>28499359
I was thinking the same. Just unload the damn magazine.

>>28499436
Most police drop all 17 rounds. Cop must have been retarded. Also shot placement.

>>28499455
He only got 6 off before the guy stabbed him.

This is bait

>>28493690

I've shot a few different glocks and I'm not a fan of them. I'm not saying they're bad guns, far from it, but I just don't like them. The ergonomics just don't feel good to me.

>>28489782

It isn't.

Caliber arguments are a fun exercise in mathematical and ballistic data. They are, however, useless to have.

Carry a defensive firearm that you can shoot well, is reliable, and you are comfortable with. I carry an 9mm S&W Shield because it is practical for my purposes, I can empty a magazine into an 5in plate at 7 yards, and I have the most practice with it. My wife carries a .380 Bodyguard because she can dump her magazine into an 8in plate with that thing... As time progresses she may become proficient with and decide to use a 9mm. I may move to a larger caliber if I find a similarly-sized compact that shoots bigger chunks of lead with similar results.

I am also very proficient with a .22 pistol, but I haven't found a handgun that cycles rimfire rounds as well as 9mm. That and .22LR is already less reliable as a whole.

So, I perform the best with 9mm...

While it might be great to sling .45 or something, it doesn't matter what I shoot if I can't hit shit.

>>28490618

You are actually developmentally disabled.

>>28499125
Lemmee come over yer house an shoot you with a 9 and let you see how the "lack of power
" feels dumbass

>>28489782
I prefer .32 S&W L

Best caliber

>i-it depends on the generation if glock! You posted the wrong one! :'( really glocks are reliable! It just depends which one you buy and where and how.

Go read a book and grow up, maybe do a little research so you can base your asinine statements on fact.

Or learn how to realize you're fucking wrong.

I think that's great for you,
You settled on a piece,
Something dependable,
And reliable,
A capable weapon.
Go,
And defend your home,
Brave soldier.
Be the best...

Or maybe it's not a good idea to decide one pistol round is less shitty than another based on retardedly implausible anecdotes. Fag.
