Does /k/ use rangefinders; or are they a meme?
Sage goes to all fields. Does /k/ use guns or are they a meme? Does /k/ buy ammo or is shooting a meme? Fuck off you cancerous noguns cunt.
>>30119524
I've never heard anyone talk about laser rangefinders, so I assumed they didn't use them.
>>30119547
If you shoot long distance and want to know how far targets are, use one. If you want to shoot long distance and get pretty good at guessing ballistics, don't use one. Everything doesn't have to be a meme and do you really think that if they didn't work there would be so many varieties and brands?

If the constitution says SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, then whycome felons can't have guns?
>>30119367
Because you like it up the ass u fucking no guns fucking faggot.
>>30119367
why can't they vote? because they lost their citizenship
>>30119447
that's not in the bill of rights though
do felons not have the right to free speech, or to a fair trial, or to not quarter soldiers?
Looking for some advice on a general-purpose shotgun for my home.
I previous had a Remington 870, and it was great. That being said, I no longer have it :(
I'm looking for a shotgun that fulfills the following criteria:
>12 ga
>Capable of firing versatile loads
>Good for outdoors, occasionally
>Short barrel (20 ish or less) for home defense
>Workhorse (durable, simple)
>Economical (under $500)
I'll be using it for home defense and occasional small game hunting (possibly large game with slugs, but from less than 50m for most shots).
I'm leaning towards the Mossberg 88, but I was just curious to see if anyone knew of some good alternatives to compare against.
>>30119137
Mossberg 590A1
>12 ga
>I can successfully fire those neat mini shells by Aquilla
>works anywhere
>my barrel is around 18 inches I think, I know it's a very short shotgun in comparison to others. Either way, you can easily find a barrel size to fit whatever need you have
>All steel construction, simple to take apart and clean
>I got mine for around $375 in Orlando
pic is mine, taken on my shitty phone a couple years ago, still works perfectly.
>>30119222
>Mossberg 590A1
That looks damn near perfect.
Is that like a beefier version of the 500?
Thanks for the recommendation.
>>30119245
From Wikipedia:
>"Both the Model 500 and Model 590 have polymer trigger guards & safeties and standard barrels. The Model 590A1 has an aluminum trigger guard & safety, a heavier barrel, and a bayonet lug (although some versions of the 590 also have bayonet lugs), intended for military use under extreme conditions and rough handling; the metal trigger guard was added in response to the 3443G materials requirements, and the heavy barrel was added at the request of the Navy to prevent barrel deformation if the shotgun caught in the closing of heavy steel ship doors."
So yes. the 590A1 is made primarily for military use, so it's a tank of a shotgun.

It's possible they won't be participating in an air-to-air combat role (perhaps only providing CAS or only in an observer type role), but this is (AFAIK) the first time they've come to Red Flag.
>>30118969
Time to warm up the shitpost machine about CAS and F-35s.
It will be interesting to see how Red a Flag works out

Anybody talk to themselves at the range?
Sometime's I'll whisper /say "Not so big now." or "Not so big anymore." when I make a shot on my targets.
How about you?
You got issues, OP. Wanna talk about them?
DON'T RUN!!

No, I don't have the autism to pretend I'm a character from a video game.
Why are women and low test men so incapable of getting a high grip on handguns? Let alone not being able to properly handle a pistol without tea cupping it. How do you train this stuff out of them?
>>30118649
Lack of common sense I think. Practice makes perfect.
>>30118738
That's not an answer nor an argument.
You tell them to stop doing that and show them how to hold it properly. Jeez you're fucking stupid for having to ask that.
Ruger 10/22 vs. Remington 597 vs. Marlin .22
Hello /k/ and thank you for taking the time to read this.
I'm a younger guy and newer to collecting firearms (22) and I'm looking to buy a .22 for my very humble collection.
The ones I was looking into were as follows
>10/22
>remmy 597
>marlin .22
But I am open to suggestions. I really liked the aesthetic of the tactical takedown and the tiger designed wooden stocked 10/22
My main and only concern is reliability and performance and aesthetic is very very far behind for this rifle.
Again thanks for reading and any replies are greatly appreciated even if they're just bumps.
>>30118633
I've read that the 597s have a lot of feeding issues and reliability issues but once you install $60~ of aftermarket parts they are easily the highest performing magazine fed .22 rifles on the market. I'm not sure how accurate this statement is tho. ~ OP
CZ 452 or 455
>>30118694
Can you explain? I'm really wanting some facts about the firearm if possible. This thread is to compliment my own research so any advice and shared knowledge is greatly appreciated.
This beauty is a Colombian 9mm pistol.
I'm trying to find out more about it, it's somewhat new, but it looks like a dream.
From what I've seen, MSRP is around $1300.00
>>30118534
I just read somewhere else that this goes for around $500 USD, not $1300.00.

Reminds me of a mix between a PX4 and a Walther

Why aren't you involved in the Pink Pistols? You don't even need to be a fag, like OP always is, just someone who wants to arm the queers.
I'm probably moving to Pittsburgh, PA in a few months, and once I settle in, I'm going to try to restart the local chapter.

They're a fun bunch and when they use the range, they tip well.

Because they're a minority within a minority and get treated by outright hostility by the rest of the bigger minority.
Since 1958 is the standard rifle of our armed forces. Would it be better just replace it or modernize it?
