Surprised .22LR isn't higher. Same with .38.

>>34566331
Source?
Is this number of guns chambered?
Or amount of ammo?

>>34566366
.38 special and 357 mag combined moves it up to 7th.

>>34566415
this is calculated by percentage of guns sold in which caliber in the US in 2013-2014.

Large one or small one?

>>34566292
Why not both!

For the big one

The first Walther PPS had paddle style mag releases. Might be something to look into as it is already ambi

>>34566253
ehh Walther doesn't have good aesthetics, plus I don't really love my P22

CZ 85 variant has ambidextrous controls.

I carried one for the best part of ten years and it saw a lot of use. Excellent sidearm.

dont point the end of the gun at anyone. dont put your finger on the trigger until ready to shoot. remeber these two things at all fucking times and thats all

>>34566069
Women are generally shit with guns and if you aren't a women the question of mental problems arise so I think your bf is making the right choice

Only point the gun down range. Keep your finger off the trigger unless you are pointed down range and ready to shoot. Watch some youtube videos on proper pistol grip. Don't be afraid of recoil. Squeeze the trigger slowly and in one clean motion. Always check a gun when you pick it up to make sure there's no clip and rack the slide a few times to make sure there's nothing in the chamber. Before firing with live ammunition, practice holding, dry firing it, and loading/unloading. If you're a female, don't wear a low cut shirt to the range.

>Capt. Rome Ruiz, commander of Amphibious Squadron 3, who took command partway through the pre-deployment workup, said the aviation-centric nature of the ship, as well as the advanced command, control, computers, communication and intelligence (C4I) capabilities on the ship, create a lot of flexibility for the operators. He said there was still much to learn about operating this type of amphib and that he and his team were looking to the Navy’s aircraft carriers for inspiration.

>“Given the robust communications and intelligence capability of this ship, and being able to be networked, this ship – when you think about dominating the maritime battlespace, you start looking at projecting power, maritime security, those type of things, very similar types of stuff when you look at our aircraft carrier capability – so there’s some things we can learn from how they do operations that we can even leverage to be, whether it be more effective or more efficient, and one of those is the composite warfare command concept,” Ruiz said, referring to the command and control relationship between the at-sea force and the landing force within an Amphibious Ready Group.
>“What really comes to concern is the defense of the amphibious task force, given that the threat environment is starting to get a lot more capable and a lot more bold. So how do we defend ourselves to ensure we can continue to project power and continue to do maritime security operations and to continue to maintain maritime dominance in the battlespace?

>“What we’ve been doing, or what we’ve been learning, is how do we work better together, even when we’re disaggregated; how do we maintain our combat power when we’re miles and miles away. And a lot of that has to do with the capability of the aircraft, being able to have long legs to be able to do deep strikes if that’s necessary, to communicate; there’s all kinds of packages we can do from an aviation-centric standpoint,” Ruiz continued.

>“So I guess what I’m getting at is, we’re at really a journey of discovery here with opening up and kind of uncorking what we can really maximize with this capability, and it’s also making us think differently about how we use the ships, whether it’s the LSD and using her in a different way, with helicopters or aircraft or whatnot. So it really again goes back to maximizing flexibility to get us where we want to be.”

>That the leadership team is focused on maximizing the new potential this ship brings, instead of looking at how to compensate for the lack of a well deck, is important given the conversations around the future of the Navy fleet. America will be just one of two amphibious assault ships of its configuration – Tripoli (LHA-7) will be built with the same design, but Bougainville (LHA-8) will have a small well deck reinserted into the design, with some aviation capability and some medical spaces sacrificed to reach a compromise design.

>However, there are many supporters of the idea of using America as a launching point for a “light carrier” idea. The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis included the America-based concept in its Future Fleet Architecture study delivered to the Navy earlier this year, and the Senate Armed Services Committee in its Fiscal Year 2018 defense bill sets aside $30 million for the Navy to conduct a preliminary design effort. The light carrier would add a catapult or two to the America-class’s straight flight deck to allow for larger fixed-wing aircraft, such as the Navy’s E2-D Advanced Hawkeye command and control plane, to operate as part of the ARG/MEU.

So mini-carriers when?

>>34565869

When EMALS is a matured and affordable technology. Adding steam catapults to an existing LHA design isn't going to happen.

Oh boy, I always recommend people start on single stage when learning. I have that same press and it's much easier to break stuff by accident with common mistakes.

You need case lube, dies, shell plates, calipers, case mouth reamers, alan wrenches are nice, shell holders are nice, case trimmer is nice. Did you not look into this first?

This guy has decent videos on how to set up and use the press, I suggest you watch them.

press
shellplate
dies
powder measure
scale
calipers
case prep tool
tumbler
tumbling media
case trimmer
case lube if you do necked cases

haha you think these will be cheap. guarantee they will cost more than ria probably in the 800+range.

>>34565814
>clapped out 1911s
>more expensive than brand new lifetime warranty RIAs

The light has forsaken us.

Guess I'll just get my dad a Colt Competition instead.

What is the most affordable GI style 1911 that isn't a pile? My brother wants one because of movies and vidya, but he's not much of a shooter.

>>34565613
I'd like to know too

>>34565767
Well why did they?

Looking for one of them LBT-6094's made for the US Marshals, a lot of them were being sold on eBay about a year back. Would pay ~$250 for one in like new condition.

Cuz Hetzers gonna hetz.

For similar reasons many countries stick to old T-55s, when you're a small country it's better having it then not having it.

I mean, I know I would if given the chance.

>>34565116
They sell Shields with manual safeties, you know.
Is that the only guideline?

>>34565116
Your pic related is a good choice, as are 1911's and Beretta's. Really he just needs to go handle some and see what he likes. Asking what kind of gun you'll like is like asking other people what kind of shoes you'll like. It's mostly a personal preference thing.

>>34565116
Tell him to stop being a pussy and get a gun with no safety. Convince him if he relies on safeties he'll get glockleg for sure, somehow.

Then he's sure to get glockleg.

>>34565041
They already have those. They're called grenades.

>>34565041
Kinda.

Weirdly eclectic choices. Is that all your LGS has?

GP100 is a horrible carry gun. It weighs sooo goddamn much you'll never carry it.
