It was basically a round to provide 357 magnum characteristics in a semi auto package that never caught on. A lot of it stemmed out how the FBI used to carry 357 magnum revolvers as their standard sidearms and wanted to transition to a semi auto platform. It hasn't really caught on as you pointed out and with 10mm and .40s&w, it's been mostly relegated to just a few agencies and the secret service who seem to like it a lot. Its main strength is its ability to punch through barriers at super high velocities out of a semi platform, which is what I recall was one of the main purposes of the round development.

It comes real close to duplicating some .357mag loads, iirc 127gr out of a 4" barrel 357mag or something.
What you get from .357sig is 2 things:
1. Excellent penetration out of a 9mm sized pistol. Really that's what it's known for.
2. Flat trajectory as you start to push the range.
Personally, I think for anywhere that brown bear aren't a concern, that's a really ideal choice for an innawoods gun and as a side note, I think carbine taking .357sig Glock mags would be cool too.

Well I was considering .357 sig for my cc but now I'm starting to rethink. Any second Opinions? I primarily wanted it because 9mm just seems meh to me and I'm a partial fudd so "muh stopping power" has some affect, but I'm also not a faggot and do actually want more than 10 rounds in a magazine without the grip being thicker than a law textbook because of my manlet hands.

Okay, I know this bread is stale, but I wanna get this straight. What "around the house" products can I use to 1.) clean guns 2.) lube guns? Gun made cleaning products are a little expensive for their purpose. I don't wanna keep feeding these companies money when I can use other stuff to clean my funz, cheaply without compromise. Trolls need not apply.

A quick google search reveals that this is the German GM30
Most WW2 gasmasks should not be worn, as they contain asbestos
Btw, why did you put the mask on AND THEN ask us if it contained asbestos???

need some help here
For my first gun, I'm looking at an SKS. Before anyone goes
>they aren't worth the price anymore
I'm looking at how easy 7.62x39 is to shoot, availability of it, and how easy the SKS is to take care of. Maintenance, stuff like that.
Basically, aside from the price, is the SKS a good starter rifle for a noguns fag who has never fired a gun?

Btw what is the proper stance when shooting a rifle? I know not to do the chick lean, but nothing beyond that.

It's hard to go wrong with an SKS. Hard to break, easy to maintain, cheap to shoot.

Anti missile defenses so overpowered a large nuclear payload stands no chance of hitting its target.
Much like what made anti-tank rifles and flak cannons obsolete

This is a misunderstanding. MAD doctrine works because nukes are always on the table.

It's a way for people like me to justify owning a 12 pound Napoleon cannon while maintaining the illusion that I'm a normal member of society.

Looks like it was pilot error. Thoughts?

Well, hitting the refueling line is pretty much pilot error or just pure bad luck.
Not that it will prevent 100+ answers with

Hello /k/ I am a idiot who knows nothing about guns but I want to get one for self defense as I am moving to a bad part of town and will have to walk in the dark a lot. I want a handgun that is light, concealable, small, accurate, and can stop a big guy coming at me. I want something that won't shoot open my femoral artery while I carry it and won't jam on me too often. What do I get?

baby glock
it will only shoot your leg off if you're a retard and pull the trigger while drawing it (if you carry with a round chambered, obviously)
>>32328906
glock 19 is the closest thing on that chart to something he'd want to carry and it's honestly too big to edc for 99% of people
>>
A small .380 that has a long trigger pull would be perfect for concealed carry.
If you want home defense I recommend a cheap mossberg 12g or my personal favorite, a Remington 870

I imagine the Lc9 would fit better in your pocket...the cylinder on the revolver looks like it would bulge a little more.

I'm thinking of getting an LCP ver.2 unless an LCR would fit better in a pocket. Then I don't know.
