How has mid-19th Century firearm technology managed to remain relevant to the present day?
Why are revolvers still made?
>>33644711
Because they still propel a piece of metal to a dangerous velocity reliably.
Because firearms development has not advanced enough to render those guns obsolete. We're still using cartridges designed in the late 1800s, and until we switch to something else they'll always have a market

If they're not obsolete, why does no military or police use revolvers?
Hi /k/, /cgl/ here.
Some backstory. This past weekend I was at a convention in my Homura cosplay in Pittsburg. My friends had told me that it was a safe city, but I was walking to a bar that Friday night when couple POC starting catcalling me. And not the usual catcalling, but the "ooga booga wherever I go I must rape" monkey kind of catcalling. I managed to get away from them, but I realized that even "safe" cities aren't that safe.
So anyways, do you have any tips on carrying a handgun for conventions? Thanks.
>>33644686
Pack some firepower, sister.
>My friends had told me that it was a safe city
>Pittsburg
If that's what they told you, they're not your friends.
Do you already have a gun?
What gun would /k/ use to hunt sabre tooth tigers?
>>33644646
any decent semiautomatic rifle chambered in atleast .308.
i would argue AR10 or FAL.
>>33644646
big rock
Ruger 10-22
Why shouldn't I buy pic related for an EDC?
>always ready, double action
>5 for sure
>small, lightweight
>never malfunctions
>optimal at close close-middle range
Convince me otherwise. Non-free state btw
>>33644643
>Never malfunctions
Just got back from the range where a revolver was needing to go around two or three times to set off the primers.
Have personally experienced revolver malfunctions where insufficient crimp with a light gun+heavy recoil combined to set bullets forward and prevent cylinder rotation.
Malfunction free my ass. When a revolver goes down it goes down hard.
Nothing wrong with OP pic related in general, but there are a LOT of autoloaders in the same size/weight/boom level that will perform at least as well.

explain
Hey /k/
There's a small, one-man website selling a S&W Model 52-1 in .38SPL. The guy wants $850.00 for it. I know they're fairly uncommon especially since they are no longer produced and are chambered in .38 but is this one really worth almost $900?
General discussion about S&W semi autos and other 80s-90s era handguns like the Ruger P series etc.
>>33644618
It's a target pistol for bullseye competition. They are good pistols.
>>33644618
Also it's meant to shoot wadcutters.
>>33644618
Don't know what they are going for, that one looks a little rough. I'd check gunbroker to get an idea.
Trying to do whatever it takes.
>>33644593
Yes. It lets you carry a heavier gun. Heavier guns mean less recoil.

>Yes. It lets you carry a heavier gun. Heavier guns mean less recoil.
I really want to get a battlrraifuu but I don't think I can effectively run around with it, and not be exhausted enough to shoot it accurately.
>>33644536
Nope.
>>33644554
Honestly, I have a question about baguette blasting bars. What's your opinion on a MAS 49/56 that got rechambered in 7.62 NATO if it works well? What are some issues you've noticed ?
I'd get one in 7.5 French but quite honestly, I'm just not partial to the caliber.
>>33644536
>rear lugs
What are the comfiest tactical pants? Recommend something that could be worn in a hot climate that aren't ball huggers.

alright /k/, let's settle this argument forever.
Glock, are they worth buying or not?
>>33644277
That white etching looks gay as fuck
>>33644277
Only fags color in their roll marks with crayons.
But yes Glocks are great. I recommend getting a 19 or 17 if it's your first pistol.
>>33644277
They are arguable the best "jack of all trades, master of none" handgun on the market. They don't do anything exceptionally well, but they do everything good enough to satisfy the needs of a first or budget handgun.
If you saw someone hurt or shoot your dog, what would you do? What can you legally do?
>legally
Depends on the laws in your country. Go read them.
Kill them.
Legally? Depends on your country's laws. Here, if I see it happen I could attack them, otherwise I'd have to let the police handle it.
Here in Florida it depends on the situation
>you're walking your dog and suddenly some asshole walks up and shoots it
You can legally shoot him up if you act fast, then when the cops come you can say you feared for your life because a stranger just walked up to you and started shooting
>you are home and someone comes in and shoots your dog
Same as above
>someone shoots your dog while you're not close by
All you can do is sue and hope you can prove your dog wasn't being threatening
>someone kicks your dog
Same as above
What do you guys think of this? A combination
>gunshop/range
>grill
>barber
Thoughts? Is it a good idea? Bad idea? The main business of course would be the gunshop and range. I'm just curious if you guys think such a thing is something you'd be interested in?
>>33644134
That's quite the manly establishment. It'd do well in red states, assuming you yourself, the owner, is also manly.
But OP is a fag so it'll never work.
why the barber shop tho?
>>33644149
I'm not going
>le manly
I just think those are three things that go well together. Would also appeal to the millenial hipster numale memesters with their beards and gf's strap ons

Silly nogunz here needs your advice:
What rifle would you suggest for indoor use?
Manufactured before 2006, lightweight and easy to handle.
>>33643952
Suppressed sbr/carbine
>>33643958
Thanks! I'll look into that!
>>33643958
Can you legally purchase suppressors in NH?

What the hell is up with this "fidget" "spinner" meme? I've seen it start showing up on machinist youtube channels out of nowhere. And now it's on /k/ too? Where did it come from? How did this start?
I already have a knife to fidget with. At the bottom
>Come up with an actual feasible scenario to WWIII starting. (Ex: Escalations in Syria, Crimea,)
>Come up with likely alliances (US, Canada, Britain, Germany, South Africa vs Iran, Russia, Pakistan, China)
>Come up with likely key battles (Naval Battles in the Gulf of Mexico)
>Come up with likely strategies (Taking control of Caribbean to secure access to Northern South America)
I think it would be cool with what we come up with
>>33643852
All allies of the US are completely useless. It would be US vs the world.
>Commies in Asia and Russia join up
>Middle East becomes new isis country along with Western Europe b/c they're retarded cucks
>US basically fight their side of the war with no help besides using allies as offshore bases
>3 way war between commies capitalists and isis
>>33643865
So, not Britain or France or Germany?
Walther PPKS .380ACP, how good of a concealed carry handgun is it for selfdefence?
It's pretty poor by today's standards (partially because most of the ones made today aren't that amazingly manufactured).
If you like that kind of style of pistol, the Bersa Thunder is very similar in conception but much better designed.
>inb4 leon vulva autism
Just needs to be

>>33643797

No such handgun.
