Its been a while since the previous thread... Ask a gun

Do you put all the guns in some backroom safe at closing or do the guns just sit in those glass cases all the time?

>>728044413
The cases get rolled into the safe at night and we roll down steel shutters to the main floor.

>>728045346
~65-70% of what you paid minus any additions to the gun

>>728046109
I had a customer that I thought was on drugs but hes just hard of hearing and kind of awkward.

I had a customer that giggled and laughed at every little thing

Is it a very profitable business to get into?

how often do you see straw buyers?

>>728046610
no problem

>>728046643
The most profit is in accessories. You have to buy deep for guns and expect them to sit a while for a small profit margin.

Ask you anything? Hmm... will i be okay with 850cc injectors on a V8 STi, or should i step up to 1000cc for overhead. Built long block with forged internals, all supporting mods, externally gated, 30r sized turbo, hybrid speed density tuned. Target goal is around 375 - 400 whp.

>>728043977

A few custom built tube guns as well as an original styer SPP.

Also had some rare stuff come through too such as new in box Colt revolvers, Nazi marked Hi-Powers, and I snatch up every C96 that walks through the door.

>>728047435
Yes. You wont see the sticker price drop but there are plenty of sales to keep the flow of ammo moving. Same goes with guns. Fewer people are buying due to less panic, therefore sales help drive the market. Since S&W is running that rebate program at the moment, expect your local gun shop to have retarded low prices to try and compete with online sales. Sold almost 100 in the past week.

>>728047770
If they aren't all there in education on guns, I help them learn to operate it safely. Never have I had to deny a sale due to lack of firearm knowledge.

If you obtain a hunting license, you can purchase and posses firearms and ammo if you are not a determinant resident. Some places are just dicks and dont even sell to green-card holders (permanent resident but non citizen).

State law may vary, but for federal law, one exemption to obtaining firearms and ammo is possession of a hunting license.

Are there any advantages to buying a revolver over the more modern designs?

>>728049802
Aside from higher caliber and a higher accuracy there isn't really much of an advantage.

Also, not everybody is able to learn to aim a revolver and the kickback of higher caliber can destroy your arm.

>>728043977
What do you think of the hk p30 is it any good. How about for conceal carry.

How much?

By the way, since we went into revolvers. Which would be a good revolver over 9mm for a noob?

>inb4
>Noob
>9mm

>>728049802
Can make contact if an attacker is right on top of you without pushing the action out of battery

less risk of malfunction

typically have the option of a more potent cartridge but in the end, shot placement is key no matter the cartridge.

with all that said, there is nothing wrong with a revolver for carry as long as youre comfortable in your ability to put your rounds where you need them and have a capacity your comfortable with. I carry a revolver from time to time (3" SP101 .357 magnum)

>>728050386
The grip is very comfy and about the sizer of a G19 which is very concealable as long as you have the right belt and holster (as with any gun). If you are willing to spend the money, go for it. Although I like the way it handles, I prefer all metal for my DA/SA semis, but that's just personal preference. In the end, there are many other pistols that do the same thing at the same level of quality for several hundred dollars less. Not to say it isnt a great gun for the money, but you do pay for the HK name for most models.

>>728050639
Ruger SP101 .357 3"
>barrel length is fine for the performance over a .38
>can still shoot / carry .38 if desired
>small with a decent enough weight to eat up the recoil of most .357 loads
>not too heavy or large for carry
>not too small to handle
>front sight is upgradable
>built like a tank

If you like the cost of ammo, there are 9mm revolvers too. The disadvantage is most semi-cartridge based revolvers require the use of moon clips.

>>728047617
to buy: cdl (21yo or older) and another GOVT id showing residence in the state (with address and expiration date) for at least 3 months.

both must be valid (not expired or suspended)

to carry? depends on county sheriff, not familiar with sacramento.

Hi Dylan. Hipoint 955.

>>728043977
I just bought my first firearm and I'm pretty happy with it, Ruger GP100 .357 mag. I've fired only one box of .38's so far, what would you consider to be the average breaking in period for a new firearm? Should I paint the front sight or just spring for fiber optic sights?

>>728046884
Would you ask that of a car salesman? Because the odds are much higher that the car salesman will sell a car that will go on to kill somebody in a car accident than the odds of selling a gun that will be used in a fatal shooting.

>>728052916
not OP
What will the gun be used for? If you are going to use it for personal defense I would get tritium night sights. Fiber optic doesn't work in the dark, it only uses ambient light.

But if you are just target shooting fiber optic or something bright will probably be better.

>>728052451
>>728051939
I knew you were going to ask, I almost included the answer but am honestly not super sure. I like the romantic idea of a break action, but I think a pump would probably be the way I'd go.

>Can make contact if an attacker is right on top of you without pushing the action out of battery

M&P 15 or Ruger 556?

>>728053886
>I don't keep it loaded when it's not in use
dumb

Keep it loaded but in a safe place children will not find it.

What caliber would you recommend for someone who has only shot 9mm before but wants to step up his game?

>>728054183
If you plan on customizing it at all just build your own. By the time you upgrade most of the shit people like to upgrade on an AR15 you have thrown away 30% of the rifle and purchased it a 2nd time. Would have been cheaper and easier to just buy only the parts you want the first time.

But if you aren't going to customize it a prebuilt is fine

>>728054421
go to a gun range that rents guns and try a bunch of calibers and decide for yourself. You can usually rent a gun for a few bucks.

I'm fairly poor and also a ausfag but I'm thinking about getting a cheap decent bolt action rifle for hunting anything from goats/foxs up to buffalo. Got any suggestions?

>>728043977
Would you prefer an HK USP OR the MK 23?

>>728054683
anything that will drop a buffalo will spatter a fox into 100 pieces

>>728054183
Most of the parts com from the same distributors. Pick whichever you like best. Quality is the same.

>>728053829
$500 tops.

>>728053939
You have to start somewhere.

>>728053991

>>728054421
.357 in anything but a J-frame. .40 isnt worth it and .45 is fine if you want to spend a lot to shoot. .357 is less costly than .45.

Often with these things you have to admit your knowledge level, you know the name of a Mossberg 500, but most people at your level don't know what, so when people use that language they assume you know enough to know what that gun is. You don't, most people at your level start with the basic questions like how 2 gun. Don't be ashamed to start there, everybody does.

12 gauge shotgun. buckshot if possible. But slugs as well as large birsdhot would work great too.

Put it in your mouth facing up so it removes the entier back of you head and brain stem. Absolute 100.0% chance of instant death if done correctly.

Honestly I imagine a properly executed shogun suicide might be the quickest most instantaneous way of killing yourself short of just being completely vaporized in a large explosion. And that isn't really feasible.

Just google image search shotgun suicides and see the results.

Kek sadly, I did google it already.

They do also have pdf versions of the owner's manuals online. It's just not the same as actually holding the weapon, though. I think I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet (no pun intended) and go to a local gun shop that seems noted for having good customer service. I'm sure whoever I run into will have had worse customers than me.

>>728046884
I'm a gun dealer as well, there are times that I feel like shit because I profit from tragedy. Shit sucks when the inanimate objects you enjoy are used to kill kids and business booms. It sucks when someone buys the gun they kill themself with from you and you had no idea. We have been on national news multiple times for preventing crimes by not selling guns. Selling guns is just like selling anything else, except we are regulated so much we have to make sure everything is perfect.

can't go wrong with a 9mm

Two things, average everyday protection (probably nothing will ever happen.) And a group of buddy's have asked me to come to a range with them. Feel like I should bring my own piece.

>>728060139
>>728059959

>>728060762
Alright op. (Presumably) Like I said just something basic, thanks.

>>728060692
I love .45. If it is a gun you never plan on carrying concealed then a full size .45 pistol is great. You need a longer barrel to really take advantage of the .45 anyways. It is a "slow" bullet relatively speaking so a longer barrel will help give it a little more velocity. Plus a larger gun is heavier and doesn't recoil as hard.

A subcompact 9mm can kick much harder than a full size 1911 .45 because the 9mm is so light.

>>728059690
Not OP, but I strongly suggest seeking out a pistol range in your area that does rentals. it will give you the opportunity to try enough guns to decide what'd comfortable for you

>>728061098
>You need a longer barrel to really take advantage of the .45
I've seen many gel tests where sub-compact short barrel .45 can't get hollow point bullets to expand. They aren't going fast enough.

.45 is actually a lower pressure round than most pother pistol calibers. It's an older specification from 100 years ago. That doesn't mean it is bad by any means. It's just a fact.

Here is a chart of the peak pressures each type of bullet is supposed to have in the barrel when firing. Notice how even .45 +P with extra power are still far lower pressure at 23,000 PSI than the 9mm or .40 S&W are at 35,000 PSI. Normal .45 is 21,000 PSI.

It's also that pretty much all modern firearms made by a major manufacturer are good. Anything from Ruger, S&W, Sig, HK, FN, Walther, Glock, Springfield Armory etc. is going to be a totally decent gun. There are literally hundreds of good guns to choose from.

The other Govt ID showing a place of residence can be a bill from any gov't agency, such as a water bill.

I think the laws for getting a long gun are a lot more relaxed, but that's not what you're asking.
