>I've been shooting tight groups at 5 yards with my USP but I consistently shoot down and to the left. The act of pulling the trigger is making me jerk the gun. I'm starting to think of the gun as an extension of my arm and it's getting better but it's slow improvement. Any advice? Will the match trigger help with a clean pull through or do I practice practice practice? Once I start getting my groups in the middle of the target I can definitely shoot from a bit farther away but I'm embarrassing myself right now.
If you're shooting tight groups you might want to experiment with hand position and trigger finger position.

>And I'm curious, where do you let your left hand go? Do you lay your thumb on the front of the frame and hold your right hand, or just leave your thumb limp and tightly grip your right hand?
Using the typical thumbs forward grip I favor gripping hard with the left fingers and palm area but not applying much pressure with the left thumb.

>>30587048
Stop anticipating your shots. Tell yourself nothing will happen after you pull the trigger . With a solid hold, you'll drive a tack right where you point it.

Don't develop a flinch.

>>30587048
This is a pretty common thing with the USP, especially the 45. I've had mine since 2010 and if I don't stay up on dry fire practice it bites me in the ass and I throw low left.

If you're a right handed shooter and pulling low left work on finger pad placement on the trigger. You want the center of the pad (the part where your fingerprint whirls or loops) on the front center of the trigger face. If you have small hands this can be difficult with a full size USP.

No offense but you guys are fucked

I'm 30 minutes south in Akron and I'm even worried about spillover down here.

I work in a Class III Gun Shop in N Canton and I'm scheduled during the inevitable chimp-out. I'm gonna be fully suited up for the oncoming racewar.

>>30587003
I asked the same thing a while back.

All the good ones have been sold off and the remaining ones are shit quality.

We missed the boat, senpai.

Pat Burns is still auctioning off her better M39s on GunBroker. If you want one in great condition bid on those.

I bought one back in December and had good luck, but that was an unissued one.

>>30586922
Bubba pls no

>>30586922
No, get a modern semi.

>>30586922

It's not even the latest "K"-variant of the H-6/Tu-16 Badger. Literally ancient planes carry these deadly stuff.

ground launched variant or static display, apparently.

The entire excercise, apparently.

Cant speak moon, but seems that they werent exactly implicit against whom it was directed.

No. Looks like complete shit, and it's actually probably really dangerous to shoot. The 1920s were plagued with barrel obstructions. Don't try to shoot it, OP. I value your life too much, I don't want you to get injured. Here, just send it to me and I'll try to fix it.

How much did you pay? Do serial numbers match? Stocks looks refinished, but not a bad job. Inter-war years are neat IMO. Nice rifle.

>>30586802
Hi power. It's better in every way.

>>30586802
there is an SA Sig Legion.

>>30586802
sadly, glock.

I have a pair of Howard Leights that I've used for about 2 years, they work great but are a little thin and small, not providing a good seal when I try to get a good cheek weld with some of my rifles.

Also, took one of those little FiiO amps you would get for free with them and attached it to the audio port for added sound amplification for playing music from my phone/radio comms.

I've heard good things about howard leights, I was considering getting some at first but wasn't sure how much they could handle. My Sordins have an aux input as well. Feelsgoodman.jpg

It's always good to double up. For me, electronic ear pro is just meant as an amplifier to help you hear non-gun sounds better. Good innawoods, turn up volume, feel like you're Predator.

/k/ isn't even on edge. It's actually strange.

ak prices been going up
ar-15 prices been dropping like a stone

if you're looking to get an AR, nothing's going to happen between now and January, bro. Take your time, sell some plasma, and get yourself a gun in 2 months.

the anxiety goes away with preparation.

/k/ can be a jump off point for the information needed to get in shape, get firearms, get confident with your firearms, and get an ammo fort.

while you're doing this stuff the anxiety dwindles, and by the time you've accomplished all that you'll be too busy to be that anxious, and the way you look at the world will have changed.

it's a long game

Maintenance and lack of protection.

So tankette spam?

>>30585980
Because in the 30's every country decided tankettes aren't worth it.

Troy.

Pros:
>Very solid construction
>Metal means no worries of the front sight warping with use.
>Very nice, clicky, adjustments.

Cons:
>They hire baby killers.

Magpul

Cheap, accurate, durable. Just don't mount the front one on a gas block.

Can't mount mbus on a gas block, but the mbus pros are all metal.

It seams like my most modern options are the m1a or basically an FAL variant.

54r is cheeeeap compared to 308. Even if you buy a box at a time like a huge fag most serious big box stores will carry it. There's a solid two square yards of shelf space devoted to nuggetfood at Sportsman's Warehouse near me.

It would be cool if they made something similar to this in .308.

Are you trolling? Or just stupid? That's a custom SKS

There's already a thread for this. Check the catalog.

Buddy is an airforce captain in Germany, says their base is going crazy right now, no one knows what to do.

Kerry is heading there this week with a length of hose to whomp heads with.

a couple PMAGs i don't use cause my lower doesn't like them, 10 aluminum GI mags, and 2 10 rounds LAR pistol mags, because canada.

ATF pls go

>>30585454
its arbitrary but i think 10 magazines per each regularly used semi auto rifle and pistol is good. its a nice even number and you have enough to use, replace, store away, sell, or whatever.
what to stock up on? usually its OEM magazines, or whatever works best. a shitty unreliable magazine is about half a step above no magazine at all.
as far as ar15 magazines go, im partial to pmags. theyve always worked consistently well for me, theyre affordable and easy to find.
lancers are good as well as plain old aluminum GI mags. note that some gi mag brands can be hit or miss.
