I think it's a little early to replace the typhoon/rafale

>>34243053
Yeah, because the last attempt or the A400M went real well, all those countries got carriers now and take an active part regularly in military operations. Oh wait, they don't. Let's not.

Hi Points actually are pretty fucking reliable, and their customer service is damn good. Downside to all this being that they only accept single stacks and they look like shot but hey for 100 bucks they are not bad at all.

>>34242970
Hi-Points have pros and cons, generally they're better than nothing and seem to mostly run fine if the magazines you got are in spec.

Pros
>effectively unbreakable, they're rated for +P and can handle some pretty asinine abuse without biting it
>shoots pretty straight, if you can get used to it's recoil it can be pretty accurate
>is generally safe and functional
>very generous warranty that will fix or replace anything for free, even if you bought it used or bandsawed it for fun

Cons
>terrible ergos
>terrible trigger
>top heavy
>ugly
>magazines sometimes aren't properly in spec out of the box, either you send it back to Hi-Point for a free replacement, or you can carefully tweak the feed lips with a pair of pliers (seems to work for a lot of people)
>low capacity for weight and size (they do make a 20rd carbine magazine in 9mm now, but it'll look awkward sticking out of your grip).

If you're a poorfag and need "just a gun", they are pretty appealing.
Beats the fuck out of the standard fare "Ring Of Fire" deathtrap in mouse calibers.
They make some carbines too which are actually a little bit nice.

>>34242970
Hi-Points in general are pretty good.

BUT

The 916 is a piece of utter dogshit in almost every aspect of it's existence. You say that you plan on getting at least one shot off and praying, but honestly your chances of getting even one solid shot off are sketchy. The Rough Rider seems like a better option, if for no reason other than that it at least functions decently and looks fairly intimidating. Weighing your options, I'd recommend 2 Rough Riders (one backup because it only holds six rounds and reloads one at a time), a Makarov, or that shitty revolver that some anon dredged out of a creekbed because holy fuck is the 916 worthless.

What are you doing to cause them to rust? Unless you are drinking them in mud or some shit everyday; there is no need to clean them.

It won't hurt it, but it won't hurt it to leave them alone either. I mean the soviets jizzed over everything with cosmoline but thats because they figured the stuff would be in storage for decades

>>34242598
Padded / foam cases can trap condensation from the air, even if looks dry when you put it away

Only an issue for long term or if you live somewhere really humid though

>>34242525
better than the uss gabby giffords. truly, a fitting name for the gayvy.

It's like they're not even trying anymore.

That's fucking hilarious

I guy that owns the only good survival store around me was one. Never asked about the job, just talked about the different handguns the Navy has used. When asked about the Mk23 he said he loved it, haters fuck off. I want to get a gunner's mate contract and possibly try to become one down the road.

But how

Supressive fire while moving to flank

>>34242251
suppression, it hugely increases the enemy's chance of taking a stray bullet to the face if he dares to peek out behind cover, thus keeping him there

Where can I find this deal?

>>34241476
It's not, since choice of cartridge contributes greatly to that peace of mind. But overall I can agree.

thanks for the advice, i'm going to start carrying a G42

When I realized how unlikely I was to ever need a handgun, I sold my carry piece. I still keep a 22 rifle for sport shooting and a 270 for hunting, but I just don't need a handgun.

Best primary and secondary coming through.

>tfw noguns

Definitely not Ohio. We're trying but we ain't there yet.

Arizona, Alaska, Wyoming, etc probably the best

A few western states such as Arizona; Alaska comes to mind.
Almost all of the states with better gun laws have a higher cost of living though, so it tends to even out.
Don'y Michicucks fool you, they have to register their handguns.

>>34241427
Biggest problem with Ohio is duty to retreat unless at home or in your car

>>34241368
China and Russia are just as much of competitors with each other as they are with the US. probably more since they actually share borders.

>>34241368
Russia and China has not been good allies since the sino soviet split
