How much do we expect ammo to spike or have all the kooks stockpiled enough the last 4 years?
IMPORT MY FUCKING APC556 SWISSNIGS, REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Best way to find out would be to view gunbot.com trends over time and expect any new war or civil war news to cause a big ol spike.
Hi /k/, I am an American who doesn't own a gun. I was considering buying a Ruger Mark III because it seems like it would be fun. I've fired one before, along with a few other popular handguns. Is this a gun worth owning, or would I be better off owning a 9mm or larger gun? I'm somewhat interested in self-defense, which I know this isn't made for, but I am low-money and I mostly want to have affordable fun.
>>31810476
$300 can get you a long list of pocket pistols. $500 can get you any decent 9mm. It's almost as cheap as .22 and can also be your CC. Go to a gunstore, ASK to fingerfuck their pistols and find the one that best fits in your hand. Just buy the pistol and the box with it, buy your holster, ammo, and extra magazines online later to save money.
Go with the 9mm, it's a perfect tradeoff between size, economy, and lethality.
You can get a new 9mm for around $350 that'll be a workhorse for years
If it's going to be your only/first gun then it needs to be good for self defense.
So buy a Glock 19 like everyone else.

Go away, Hollywood shills
Shia is doing straight-to-Netflix Steven Seagal tier action schlock now?
Or is he doing this as an artistic representation of what former A-tier celebrities wash into?

Sorta reminds me of Jar Head
Sup /k/. I wanted to get an idea of how you guys CC. I have a Beretta PX4 Storm and Glock 26, and am planning on expanding my handgun collection. On top of this, I'll be licensed to carry as soon as my permit arrives.
My question is, what do you guys do? Pocket guns? Compacts? Full size pistols that CC really well? How big is too big for you? I'd prefer to carry full size, as I feel anything around a 4 inch barrel could be comfortably carried inside the waistband, or in a shoulder holster covered with a shirt or jacket.
Give me your thoughts, /k/omrades!
>>31810360
First, it's going to vary based upon what I need to carry and what I can get away with in a given environment. I can't carry my Glock 17 in a suit because I take my jacket off regularly. Similarly, there's no point in me carrying just my J-Frame in jeans and an untucked button-down shirt because I can conceal a Glock 17 just as easily. If I'll be in court that day and I'm using my J-Frame, I'll use a pocket holster versus a bellyband because I can take the gun off easily and leave it in my desk before going across the street. Some days, depending on what I'm doing, I may have both a full-sized pistol and a J-Frame on me. TL;DR: there's no 100% of the time solution for me, and what I carry is based upon several factors.
I carry either AIWB, in the pocket, or in a bellyband. I don't do shoulder or ankle holsters. I like leather. I have custom leather AIWBs for both my Glocks and J-Frames, a Kramer pocket holster for the J-Frames (looking at getting a second one left-handed for BUG use), and also a DeSantis bellyband that I'd really like to replace with something else. In the past I used a lot of kydex but after wearing good leather nothing else really compares, both for comfort and drawstroke characteristics.
The guns I carry most often are a Glock 17 and a S&W 642. I'm looking at getting a Glock 26 as well as a S&W 340 and 640 Pro in the near future.
As should be obvious, I like revolvers over semi-autos for pocket-sized guns. In my experience they hide better and draw better in the pocket, and I feel there are some real advantages to them in a fight over a gun.
>>31810360
You have to find what works for you. Fingerfuck a few at your range/LGS and ask for their recommendations
>>31810529
9mm and .38? If I may ask, what stops you from using .40 or 10mm?

Are there any good 9mm handgun that look like .45 handguns?
.45 always have this sleek as fuck design but I prefer 9mm cartridges.
>>31809914
Anon, that's a 1911.
The glock 17 looks pretty similar to the glock 21.

Alright /k/, what's the best pistol for CC, and what type of holster to go with it?
I had a Mexican pull a knife I feel on me the other day so I need a CC as well.
I was looking at the Sig p928 and can't decide between IWB and OWB
All those pistols preform the same task, which one feels best to you? There you go.
Btw its walther
>>31810001
OWB is inferior.
>>31810001
There is literally, LITERALLY, no reason to ever use an OWB holater.
Ages ago (in highschool) I used to wear my dad's veitnam issue Jungle boots. They were still good after being so ancient. I used to buy the black version of the same boots, but in recent years they fall apart after about a month of daily wear.
I bought some Docs, because I see poor people wearing them, and I assumed that they must last because that would make them cheaper (in the long run; despite how expensive they are) than buying a new pair of boots twice a year.
It's been about a year, and I'm starting to get a hole in the leather where the toes bend. Realized that docs are just meme boots. Buyer's remorse.
Work in a warehouse and often have to kick crates and things to open or close them.
Just looking for some boots that will last more than one year.

>>31809603
If you dont mind a break in process of about 2 weeks red wing makes a great boot model 4473.
Its American made resoleable puncture resistant and can have a zipper kit installed.

>>31809464
Man, if I was ATF, wouldn't I at least have an auto sear installed in the damn thing? You can clearly see the lack of an auto sear.
I would also not have such a janky selection of magazines, and maybe even a trijicon optic of some variety.

Sup /k/
I'm looking to buy an AK47, but to be honest I don't know much about shopping for one. Redpill me on what I'm in for, what to look for, where to shop, what to avoid.
It doesn't have to be immaculate, I intend on taking it to the firing range.
Don't buy anything by century arms. I purchased an M+M M10 back in 2012, couldn't be happier with it and never had an issue. The new m10x looks pretty nice also. Saigas are good also.

Literally who?
I dont like all the lines on it but thats just me. The improved sights look better than the old LCP. I kinda liked the super boring look of the old LCP. Does it lock back on empty? If so I might have to pick one up sometime.
>>31809117
I'm so fucking tired of companies feeling the need to add a bunch of fucking useless lines and serrations. This looks a million times uglier than the standard LCP.
