Is bore-axis just a meme /k/?
I returned from the range today after trying a few different pistols and I'm actually a bit confused . Full disclosure: I'm a no-guns and my combined shooting experience doesn't amount to more than first impressions of any particular gun.
I don't know how it is at most ranges, but the one I go to lets you swap out guns of the same caliber when you're renting. They don't have a huge selection but my gf, my buddy and I ended up shooting:
My buddy's Jerico in .40 S&W
Sig P229
Glock 17
Beretta M9
Ruger American Pistol, or whatever the new one is called.
We shot with range reloads. What surprised me was that Sig had by far the most gentle recoil, being the gun with the highest bore axis. It was a very noticeable difference. The Jerico in .40 kicked the most, despite being a good deal heavier than any other pistol we shot. The Glock had the harshest recoil of the 9mm bunch, and it has a pretty low bore axis I believe. Not sure what to think. My takeaway is that bore axis is probably not as important as things like the weight of the frame/slide, the action, and springs.
Other random thoughts:
My gf and I both liked the Sig the best, because of the recoil and having the nicest trigger of everything we shot today.
The Ruger was my second favorite, nice sights, pretty decent trigger. Mag release really is too small though and slide catch is way too smooth and flat.
The DA trigger on the Jerico sucks balls and is really long. SA trigger is a bit too light for my tastes.
M9 was pretty nice except for the weird sights and the difficult to reach/operate mag release. Trigger was very light/short as well.
The Glock did not leave a good impression. Snappiest recoil, poor trigger, poor grip ergos.
Feel free to give me your thoughts or tell me how I'm retarded.

Either you're new to handguns or you're an idiot.
>>
>>29165340
You're absolutely right about bore axis being an overblown characteristic relative to other factors like frame material
However, a high grip on the gun can help in mitigating recoil. Is it far and away the largest factor? No. But it's one of the easiest things to attack about the 22X line on /k/, so there you go.
>>
>>29165340
It is, in fact, a factor.
But it's not as big as people want you to think.
It really only becomes a huge thing if you're doing competitions with it.

What's this stuff? Is it a HAM radio? I found a bunch of helmets and an antenna with it next to my apartment complex garbage. It has a bunch of batteries and cables too. Sorry for shit lighting. I think it's an old tank crew radio system.

Incase some basement dweller wants to troll and make someones life hard report the gun stolen, itll lead to some serious shit if you ever get caught with it by police. Also the fucking serial number has all your info same as your ID

During a proper magazine explosion on a battleship/cruiser, will the turret fly up in the air like a tank turret or will the volume of explosives in the magazine below simply blow it into shards and fuck everyone in the superstructure adjacent to the turret itself?

a tank turret is not like a ships gun turret
>>
>>29163785
Well yeah, the ship turret simply rests on the bearings and stays in place via weight, the tank turret is more firmly attached.
>>
>>29163845
if you "ammo rack" a ship, the explosion would occur inside the turret, so it can't be blown out of popped off like a tank turret, however, the cap of the ships turret could be blown off, but unlikely considering the relative small amount of ammo that is inside, and which would be needed to propel that amount of weight off the ship

I think I'm going to get one, especially for the improved gas system and how it is attached. Key Mod or M-Lok for the URX?

Yes.
>Key Mod or M-Lok for the URX?
I'd lean towards the M-Lok, but if you can find a key mod version for less than the newer M-Lok, that would probably be worth it.
>tfw SR-15 fund turned into surprise car fund
>tfw have enough now to buy an SR-15 and 25
>tfw still car fund
>>
>>29163558
I was leaning towards M-Lok too, but I've heard from friends that it isn't as stable as Key Mod, but he wouldn't say how, just that I have to use both (he owns both). I want something that will work well, but I don't want dicks on my gun.
>>
>>29163641
Weird. I remember reading on instagram one of the carbine instructors (defoor, mcnamara, mcphee? not sure which) saying he had another keymod bipod get sheared off and that it isn't the first time it has happened with keymod stuff.
Don't think it really matters either way. Both are at least decent and most companies make product versions for both. Plus you can always sell it and buy the other for probably not more of a loss than $100.
Just go M-Lok and tell yourself you did it for the MOE grip over the A2.
Who cross dominate here?
I'm right handed but my left eye is definitely my dominate eye. I can't comfortably shoot the vast majority of rifles, so I mainly stick to my Mossberg 500 and handguns. I actually sold my first gun (Marlin 60) and used the money to buy 9mm and 12 gauge buckshot.
I've tried most cross dominate shooting techniques but none have worked that well for me. I'm kinda sad that I sold my first gun but it just wasn't fun to shoot.

I am. Can't shoot a rifle right handed. I've just had to learn to be a left handed shooter since I was 10 or so.
>>
>>29163076
Have you tried putting your sights on a riser and rolling your head over to look through with your left eye? Mike Pannone does this because his right eye is plastic, but it might work for you.
>>
>>29163076
You know you can shoulder a rifle on your left shoulder, right? If anything it means you manipulate the charging handle and magazines with your right hand, feels pretty good m8
Buying my first gun, going with a handgun and I'd like it chambered in 9mm.
I have a maximum of $600 to spend. I'm leaning towards a Glock 19 Gen 4 after seeing so many good reviews on it. Seems like Glock is the Coca Cola of handguns? What other brands should I consider? The dealer I'm going to has a variety, they have FN's, HK's Springfield's and S&W's.

HAHAHAHAH... Eurocucks must be shitting their pants now that Russian mil has outclassed them in every which way possible and now that they know that the bear can bite and can take a huge chunk of EU in several weeks.
>The limited Russian contingent operating in Syria is outperforming the more widespread groupings of the US-led anti-Islamic State coalition, according to Germany’s FOCUS media outlet who came by the classified NATO document, which was prepared by the alliance’s military experts.
>The document points out that Russia deployed 40 warplanes, performing some 75 sorties a day (until the ceasefire came into effect on February 27). The airstrikes, usually delivered on several targets during each combat flight, are “accurate and efficient,” the analysis reportedly says.
>The US-led counterterrorist coalition, deploying about 180 warplanes against Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL), strikes only about 20 targets a day. The paper says the number of Russian fighter jets on the ground is “clearly inferior in number” to NATO’s group, but the higher frequency of the Russian air raids makes them more effective.

So in the days of the police revolver (and by extension I guess civilians buying revolvers for defense because "hey if they're good enough for cops they're good enough for me") did .38 Special have any serious alternatives (like 9mm has .40 S&W, .45 ACP and .357 SIG). I know .357 Magnum was used but it was considered just a powerup for the most part that was used for certain tasks and roles.

You're more of a professionals here I guess.
So I decided to try high stress - durability exercise, where I get only 5 hours of sleep per night and do everything else as normally (Train study, cold showers, etc), kind of like home version of military training.
For the last 2 days I've been getting small(ish) scabs on my face (3 scabs, 1 or 2 could be herpes).
I'm getting positive mental and emotional thoughts though, I feel as if I'm personally developing
My question is, should I discontinue the experiment, wait few more months before re-try?
How do these special operations survive hell's week with even less sleep and even more intensity?

So my GF went gun shopping with her dad. She knows jack shit about guns, but I didn't know if her dad knew anything.
They call me after shopping, and my GF asks if I want a free 9mm. Of course, I say yes.
"Ok. We got one called a hi-point for you."
She got a sig sauer p938. Her dad bought himself a glock.
Is he trying to kill me? Is the 'hi points explode' thing a meme? I'm going to be polite and accept the gift, but should i ever shoot the thing? I do not currently own a handgun, so I was really excited, but I don't want to lose a hand to Jamal's first ghetto blaster.

it won't explode. it's a hi-point, it will just run. nothing fancy, i'm not sure how picky they are with ammo if it all, but it will just run.
it's a moped gun.
also, even if somehow manage to break it, hi-point will fix or replace, almost no questions asked.

grow up child. My dad doesn't know shit about guns and bought me a Taurus judge because some dick of a clerk swindled him into getting a "shotgun revolver" and I fucking love it. Its a present and worse case scenario you trade it for something else. At least the dad knows what hes doing, they could have all come home with hi points and he must like you enough to get you a free gun
