I was thinking of getting a handgun for the range as well as self defense, as was thinking of buying the Taurus pt92, any suggestions or tips?

they suck for concealed carry. They're fine otherwise.

>>28025429
I hope you're not considering CC that thing, the only people that can really conceal that generally get around on motorized scooters powered by labored breathing and fast food.. Other than that it's probably the only good thing Taurus makes, plus it has a rail for a light for use in home.

just save up the extra $100 and get something quality, goddamn
I was shooting my new P99 today I suddenly this huge pin began to walk off.
What the hell is this? it is broken in just one use?
another pic
trigger pivot pin, just tap it back in
Did you buy it used?
>>28025285
no it was new out of the box, those where the first 50 rounds.
I should add that it didn't FTE or FTF
With all the /pol/ news stuff happening these days I was thinking about building a saferoom in my house and doing some research. Most of the saferoom stuff recommends steel plates with plaster layers, but I was wondering - sandbags will stop the vast vast majority of small arms fire, right? Couldn't I just add a foot-wide spacer where the armor would be, and fill it with sandbags?
How well does a sandbag barrier do against rifle fire?
your life isn't that important. stop living in fear.
>>28025072
Can your house even support that much weight?
>>28025102
I don't have a basement and the saferoom would be on the first floor, so the sandbag barriers would be resting directly on the foundation. I think adding some reinforced steel supports will keep the wall together so it doesn't all just fall over one day

It is a plane

It is also red
That appears to be a full scale model of a MiG 15, and I assume it's for education purposes.
What? Fighters? MIGs in specific? What is it you want to know?

Can somebody explain this shit? Most of the Soviet army was apparently equipped to fight this way as late as 1986, the units in Afghanistan had slightly more practical uniforms but they were the exception. I mean it looks nice, but I can scarcely think of a more impractical or (even for the period) obsolete battledress. What the actual fuck?
>>28024886
Soviet doctrine was to fight right out of their APCs. All the practical shit got stored in those battle taxis.

>Bright red shoulder boards and collar insignia
Pretty inconsequential honestly, the annoying shine of an SSh-68 will give you away before minute bits of red fabric will.
>Light colored khakish uniform instead at least going for an olive drab color
It blends in well in a variety of environments.
>High top combat boots
Those are called "jackboots," Anon. They slip on easily and quickly, and are comfortable if fitted correctly. Pretty high-speed tbqh
>form fitting "utility" uniform, no cargo pockets.
Ultimately unnecessary, anything of practical significance is tucked away in pouches or your rucksack, where it is easy to access and will not get lost.
The main flaw of Soviet battledress is the Y-strap/belt complex, it is designed in a way that allows the belt pouches to slide around and are annoying as fuck. Comfort in general took a backseat in Soviet equipment design.

How useful would weaponized dinosaurs be to the US military?
>>28024698
If supplies run short
>drones set waiting, ready to use
>dinosaurs start eating everyone
I can't imagine they'd be a great investment
Honestly?
Probably not very.
It's very unlikely that a lot of dinosaurs had pack instinct.
Especially Velicoraptors. I mean hell when have you seen a desert dwelling animal hunt in packs?
And extant dinosaurs would have almost no potential. Armoured Cassowary? Assult Kiwi? Rocket propelled hummingbird?
I think the closest we ever came was pigeon guided bombs.

more useful than this thread. go shit post somewhere else.

The shield is ok, i dont like how the shields trigger has a strange two stage where the trigger becomes flatter as you pull. glock break point feels more natural.
