I just won a bid for what seems to be a really nice Hi Power. I bought it because I previously thought it was a MkIII because of the lack of drain hole and dovetailed front sight but now I look even closer and I notice a lack of ambi safety and it's short, very akin to the MkI. What the fuck did I just by, is it some sort Franken-gun they made with parts just lying around??

>Former Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who spearheaded the effort to save the A-10, is now gone from Capitol Hill. She basically argued that the A-10 could provide more accurate and more reassuring fire in close-in fights. However, Goldfein, who led Central Command’s air forces, told reporters at a Defense Writers Group breakfast this morning that when he divvied up the Close Air Support mission he sent Predators to regions where he needed persistence, B-1s where he needed speed of response, range and the ability to strike repeatedly, and F-16s and F-15s to the rest. Terrain and distance from air bases dictated his assignments, he said. A-10s were limited by range, speed and persistence, he noted.

>The Air Force’s top uniformed leader also indicated that the F-35 review ordered by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was unlikely to result in a smaller number of Lockheed Martin’s F-35As being bought by the Air Force. The service, far and away the largest buyer of the F-35, plans to buy 1,763 A models and Goldfein gave no indication that would change. Instead, he said the more F-35As the service can buy, the more quickly it can replace fourth generation aircraft like the F-16, and the F-15 — let alone the A-10.

>“What we don’t need is a lot of turbulence in the program right now,” Goldfein said, to either the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines, or the program’s foreign partners. He also said that the Air Force would recommend it buy additional F-35As in the 2017 supplemental spending bill, although he said it might not be the top priority.

Hello /k/

My new step son is coming to live with my wife and I in a few months and he says he wants his room to be decorated in military stuff because his biological father and myself are both in the military and he wants to join someday.

What stuff do you guys have around the house/in your room or want to get to have around the place?
Pic related I have one of these helmets back at my old folks place and am thinking about picking it up for him.

Been looking into buying a handgun for carry, and wasn't too sure what to get. New to owning a gun, so, wanted some opinions, and things to consider when buying. I'm not completely new to guns, just to owning one, so I know how to handle one, just looking for advice on what a decent handgun would be for carry purposes.

Are there any major /k/ celebrities?

I know Hollywood has a history of being liberal asswhipes. But are there any actors that embody 2A to their heart?

Just watching this and the guy says 7.62x39 will not be enough for bears but a short while later he says .44 Magnum will. He cites the x39 lacking "energy":

>240 gr (16 g) SJHP Remington 1,180 ft/s (360 m/s) 741 ft·lbf (1,005 J)

You'll nee hot +P+ loads to get to x39 energy levels:
