124 or 147gr, though it really doesn't matter too much. I prefer 124 because it groups better in my carry gun.

So I just recently got my license to carry a handgun and am going to pick up my first gun ever on monday. I purchased a mp shield 9mm for 320 bucks. Is that a decent price? And is there any one website or couple that have the best prices on gear like say a trigger kit I have heard about or a green laser or do I pretty much just have to keep my eye out for sales?

Thinking of a Glock 19 gen4 as my first handgun and as possible concealed carry. What should I expect the gun with the 17 round magazine to cost? What else should come with the gun at that price? Usually it has a case and two or three mags I read.

Why are you looking at parts before even shooting or owning it? At the minimum put 300rds through it before deciding anything

>>30952184
Depends on the model. 115gr for practice all day. Most full size service pistols work best with 124gr. Some models work great with 147gr, like the P938.
Try a few or research your model and figure out what works best. And get +P if your pistol can handle it.

>>30952774
Will do.

It seems like the grip is noticeable, as is the extra recoil spring. I would think the extra spring would help with recoil quite a bit and therefore accuracy. Interchangeable backstraps seems nice too

>>30952184
>Ill start, 115, 124 or 147g or for 9mm cc?
If you have to ask, then it doesn't matter.

Lighter bullets tend to allow hollow points to expand a bit more, but heavier bullets (in 9mm) are subsonic, making them better suited to suppressor use. The heavier bullet also has a marginal advantage in barrier penetration, but considering that lighter bullet loadings in 9mm will travel faster, making up for some of their lack of mass, it's not a big difference. 124 grain is considered standard for modern pistols.

>>30952184
I swear by 147gr. I carry a 17rd mag loaded in my carry gun with 147gr Barnes hollow points and a 19rd mag on the side loaded with 147gr American Eagle flat-point FMJ for barrier penetration and wildlife defense.

>>30952893
The magazine release and slide catch are much better. The dual spring is the biggest difference. It does mitigate recoil somewhat, but earlier Gen4 springs were too stiff and sometimes FTE'd shitty ammo. I think that's fixed. I shoot budget 115gr with mine all the time and have never had a malfunction.

>>30955168
if a race war happens, the last thing you want to do is attract more attention with your gun, you're not going to be picking off fuckers at your leisure. You are a lone person. You have no supply/logistics network to back you up. You have no friends who are also armed and coordinated to back you up, you have no air support to call or any sort of fire support.

Get a shotgun and lots of shells or semiauto rifle with ammo. Then just not stick out and be observant enough to know when to get the fuck out and remain on the low.
When you are pressed into needing to use your gun, go for it, but if you can entirely avoid and circumnavigate the situation entirely, do that because you're not fucking military.

A pistol is essential due to concealability. A rifle makes you a clear threat.

>>30953956
You're right the majority of IWBs are stupidly overbuilt for no reason. PJ holsters and High Noon both sell minimalist versions that are very comfy. There might be other makers too but they are hard to find. I carried with a clip draw for a while and switched to holster because I prefer a forward cant and I didn't like the gun rotating its position. Clipdraw works as advertised but I wouldn't recommend it long term.

>>30955833
In the end I think this was probably more of an /adv/ topic. If I need to operate, it will be Houses with some fields/plains around them. However when I'm not, I want to shoot accurately.
Let me rephrase:
Do you think a .223 is sufficient for urban scenarios with occasional small fields against unarmored targets?
Do 70 year old slav rifles hit accurately enough out to 100-200 yards?

>>30955947
Yes to both

At what point do you start having to replace parts on a Glock due to wear? I shot a G19 at the range recently and had A LOT of issues, mostly FTFs, but a few stovepipes too. I checked and rechecked my grip to make sure I wasn't fiddling with something I shouldn't have been, and I wasn't limpwristing, but issues persisted. That gun is one of the more popular rentals, so I'm assuming parts are just worn out, but at the same time, it's assuming Glock, it's supposed to be some kind of indestructible Austrian wonder. Whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth on them.

No such thing as a cheap bullpup, unless you slap an SKS in one of those stocks. The Kel-Tec rfb or rdb is just under $1k, though.

Best online sources of ammo?


And by best I mean cheap and reliable. I'm looking for 9mm, 45 acp, 223 and 556

What advantages does bolt action have over break action, disregarding of course that bolt actions often have magazines.

What I'm talking about is, I've noticed there are many single shot rifles that are bolt action, which doesn't make sense to me because break action is just as good as far as I can tell and is simpler and cheaper to make.

What am I missing?

>>30952184
Is the colt 1911 complicated to field strip and reassemble?

>>30959539
but there aren't many single shot bolt actions. Pretty much just kids' 22s and target/benchrest guns.

So, the main benefit is that they can be, and usually are, repeaters.

Also, they're easier to cycle/reload in any position but maybe for standing upright.

I use 147 hr HST's. Used to use 124 gr Gold Dots, but couldn't find anymore when I was shopping for more ammo.

>>30959614
Also, for loading and extracting ammo, the cam action of the bolt is superior to a break action.

>>30966271
Three or four phone books (yellow pages) and a roll of duct tape, of course every morning duct tape three phone books around your abdomen and maybe the last phone book just rig it up around your chest area to protect repertory region. It will stop stabs from most knifes and maybe a could of swings of a sword just in case there are ninjas in your neck of the woods, also might stop up to .22 you should test that out with a friend first before you take my word for it then come back here and report your results to us.

I can't imagine anything except that your selector is out of spec or so badly made that you're some how able to release the hammer while on safe.

Is it possible that you didn't install the disconnector properly? Or that you put the hammer spring struts under the trigger pin instead of on top? Is there debris in your trigger shoe hole? Are your megahertz plugged in fully?

>>30966271
Pei 5 floor tile, look for the vid where they wrap it in denim and locktite adhesive, one layer of tile is fancy and should absorb a stab or pistol round, three layers is dancy and should absorb close-range LIII threats, four layers and you're fancy dancy all day. Takes a week to cure each plate, so make sure you build enough replacements early rather than as you need them.

In the fire position, it stops the trigger too soon and the reason it fires after a few pulls is because it actually jiggles the hammer out rather than a direct release.
I've meticulously gone over the instructions and diagrams provided with the new trigger and I really don't think I've missed anything.

I'm working with nothing but brass punches and my fingers are sore as shit from holding that thing together and getting the pins in and out. I'm done working tonight but I'm gonna bump this question in the morning.
Anybody got anything to throw in, please do.
Here's a funny gif

You should be fine. If you're using non-jacketed rounds, you might clog up the rifling with lead leading to keyholing and overall reduced accuracy. Plus 300 rounds really isn't a lot.

What would be a good recurve bow to use for small game hunting? I'm looking to use the Hammer screw-ins because I read that they were very effective for not getting lost and shutting squirrels and rabbits down easily. What arrows should I use for this as well?

Blog part; only read if you want reasoning.
I was very good at archery as a child, but never kept up with it as an adult. My father recently started using a compound bow, and I tested it out. I did pretty well, despite it being a left handed bow. The only thing I didnt like is how much of a monstrosity it felt like to use. It was too easy, he had it rigged up with a trigger and everything, it was covered in gadgets and honestly it made me feel like a huge pussy to use. Of course i started talking shit about his old ass not being able to use a real bow without having easy mode on, and so now basically I have to impress him by using a recurve (or long) bow, and I would also like to get good with using it for small game, which I've been hunting for years.

TL;DR
My dad is a weak old bitch but I still want to win his affection

The guy who made that video was a fucking faggot.

If he had used fiberglass and epoxy like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dscxjnvC8JA , the plate would have been much lighter.
Disregard the fact that it couldn't stand up to level III threats; the guy in the video didn't use PEI level 5 plates.

Anyways, besides that, I'd recommend getting one of these: https://www.amazon.com/58122-CUTShield-14-Inch-Sleeve-Resistant/dp/B000EIY8KQ/ref=pd_sbs_328_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=31JLpmvpBIL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0ZEKWJNQ79TRRP584122
It won't provide any stab protection, but it will, however, protect against any slashes.

hi there, the truth is that if the cops want to call something a weapon, a weapon it is.
at least in texas anything over six inches long can be consudered not just a weapon but a prohibited weapon. thats misdemeanor A... check local laws, be kind to cops.

>as they are almost out the goddamn door "OH what is your price on [model #]
>punch it in, quote him
>"oh wow thats a good deal, thank you my friend"

i dont get the attitude of some customers, i really really fucking dont, maybe its because me and my buddies were always understanding that gun shops are a business first and your buddy second, yeah they want your repeat business, but if theyre not making money its not worth your repeat business or "friendship"

why the fuck would you walk into a store, and expect me to beat out every other shop and make less money, when i know that particular model of handgun will be sold the day it comes in? if you want to be a cheapass, why bother asking for a price? if its cheaper somewhere else go fucking buy it

why do they act like theyre doing me a fucking favor for walking in the door and breathing my air? im glad its the minority of customers that do this but fuck me is it goddamn annoying

>>30967961
now, we do give some deals go customers who have spent a good chunk of change, before i started working at the shop, i got the occasional deal, but i didnt walk in and expect any off, especially on guns, its easier to discount higher margin items like magazines and parts, but guns already have low enough margins

if your shop gives you a $10-15 discount on a gun, theyre giving you a solid deal, and chances are theyre not making a ton of money on it, especially on lower $$$ guns like inexpensive/basic .22's, pump shotguns, etc.

not to mention, i am but an employee, if i started handing out discounts without my bosses approval, i would reamed into the next dimension, my asshole would occupy a 2nd airplane seat, even if my boss tells me to give a guy a discounted price on an item, i always make sure to double check to be safe.

if you come in and drop 2k on a sweet AR setup (which has happened a couple times) chances are you are going to get some items discounted, or if youre on the fence about something you might get a couple bucks off, also more likely on items that have been sitting for a while

if an item is sitting for months and months without going anywhere, its better for us to shave a few bucks off, sell it, and then not restock it because the interest isnt there.

also the whole "cash price" thing, there's always posts on arfcom and shit about how walking into a shop cash in hand gets you a discount, not true where i work, our margins are low as fuck, we dont discount for cash/debit, we just add on a % for credit, and everybody walks away happy

As far as the haggling goes, it's probably a cultural thing if they're some sorta dune coon. I'm not saying it's a great part of their culture, but it's literally in their goddamned DNA to haggle and argue. I work for an IT company and one of our largest customers is spread out across the Middle East. They spent several thousand dollars to purchase "admin hours" from us to avoid waiting for their corporate office to send payment so we can perform certain tasks that aren't included in our already generous support. Every fucking month since then their main Account Rep, who's from Jordan, calls to yell and argue with us about having used any of the "hours"... even after he fucking approved the work.

I wear the 5.11 high rise combat socks. They are very nice and allow for great mobility, air flow, and can come with a ankle holster attatchment.

Sounds like you're learning what I learned 10 years ago and made me drop the gun industry and everything to do with it like the proverbial hot potato: gun people are fucking retarded douches who don't know what the fuck quality is, want everything for free, and when they can't get it, will talk shit about gold and polish turds to the detriment of everyone who hears their bullshit and doesn't know any better.
I mean, this is how stupid the gun world collectively is: to this day... I think it's been the best part of 20 years since this rumor dropped and was immediately disproved... I still hear about the "Colt will only sell to police/military!" "news". Sometimes I still see it presented as a recent development.
You can make money hand over fist off them if you're willing to manipulate the collective stupidity, but you have to tolerate it in equal measure, and I didn't really enjoy doing either.

How do you guys choose your guns? I've never owned any myself and I am just absolutely overwhelmed by how many there are.

Everything you see is what he's selling. Is it a good price?

What company makes that or did he make it himself? I guess I can just ask him this question myself.

What calibers/guns provide good margin for error when hunting black bear? (Bait method)

By margin of error i mean stopping a charge with panic center of mass magdump.

I know a well placed or lucky hit can be a 1 shot stop with many lower even pistol rounds, but barring that; whats safe for a beginner?

I was thinking maybe some kind of magazine fed semi auto shotgun? Or would a standard ar 30/5.56 be enough?

Bringing one if my friends (who has some shooting [pistol and shotgun only] experience] but no hunting experience.

Ill be using a 308, wondering what i could lend him out of what i have (e.g. an ar, but idk if that would be sufficient) or if i should buy a shotgun for him to use and myself to keep in general as i dont have a shotgun at the moment (had a mossberg pump in the past but gave that to another one of my friends when i moved)

Im going to be doing most of the shooting as far as the hunting is concerned probably, just want to make sure my buddy has something that he could use to defend himself if things get hairy, i dont claim to any kind of expert marksman thats going to stop it mid charge while its running at him; running at me, i understand how to handle with sidearm, but in all the previous bear hunts i was at i was the "new guy" and this would technically be the first one where id be the lead so i dont want anything bad to happen.

Would a semi auto slug gun (rem 1187 or something) or mag fed buck gun (saiga, veor, etc) be the better option? (Im kind of interested in a getting a new shotgun in general as i presently do not have one) or am i looking in the wrong direction in thr first place?

What exactly is the difference between a "Dock Landing Ship" and an "Amphibious Transport Dock"?

Whats a fair price on a used beretta 92fs in good shape? The one I'm looking at was made is italy and doesn't have any retard warnings.

Why do DA/SA semi autos have such a light reset in SA? I have to move my finger forward for the trigger to reset, whereas with a Glock or AR I just decrease pressure on the trigger & it resets.

>>30970643
If memory serves, the difference is negligible between 16" and 20" barrels for 5.56. Velocity starts dropping sharply if you go much shorter though.

Go to a range and rent an AR and a FAL and decide which one you prefer. An FAL will be heavier and more robust and ammo will be more expensive

I believe the voyager is the sa58 with a cast steel receiver as opposed to forged. I would want a forged one personally.

Find out which manufacturers/models have a good reputation and go to a store and get hands on. Put in the time doing online research as well.

>>30968079
Surely there are some youre more implicitly attracted to or interested in based on appearence, anecdote, or certain desire for a certain kind of gun (i want a small high cap polymer 9mm! I want a big magnum revolver!)

And google reviews for it

Its easier today than its even been in the past what with all the online firearm enthusiast community and review sites etc...

I would look up local regs first though so you dont get hyped for something which is either not availible or legal in your area.

After this research phase then go to local gunstores/ranges and rent before you buy (if possible)

Dont just go into a gun store and ask them what to buy, i dont know your lgs guys, they might not be assholes but going in with no clue what you want and planning to leave with something is a real sucker move, youll probably end up paying more than you could have for something with selling points that you dont really care about and features you dont need

If im thinking about buying something a little uncommon that i wouldnt really necessarily be able to hold in a gunstore before buying (so armslist or manufacturer direct order)

Stuff like a deagle or vector etc...

Would holding an airsoft one be an accurate representation of how the real ones are proportioned? Like i see airsoft versions of those at some stores, but none of my lgs regularly have things like that in stock

My bigfest local shop is mainly fudd oriented, like all the shotguns and milsurp relic rifles and botique revolvers you could ever want, and like hundreds of 1911s

But not much modern stuff although they have begun to carry ars and ar accessories which i kind of like because i dont like ordering things online without seeing the physical items, but i dont expect them to start carrying more contmperary exotics anytime soon although i have seen a few interesting things on consignment there like a calico smg, uzi, sten

Smaller local shops are small and generally have walmart/dicks/basspro tier inventories

I just dont live in a very tacticool/modern collectors region i guess

>>30971888
Dude just get a full blown rifle safe or put them in the safe you already have. Pistol specific safe is kind of pointless. If its not on your person, it should be in your big safe. Big safes can hold lots of things, you should have one if you own guns in general, pistol safe is only enough for a pistol and not usable for more guns or other valuables. Entry level stand up safes are light enough to carry home by yourself, up stairs, etc... and install and are like easily less than 150

I've bought a lot of magtech, prvi partisan, federal, and some others in bulk (~200 USD per 1000 rounds) and i've never had any issues.

I bought a bunch of random reloads from some website for really cheap one time. Some of the brass looked rough and the QC wasn't the best, but my USP ate every single one of them with no problems. I'd imagine any glock or m&p, etc. would do the same.

If you are worried about duds, buy factory new, but in my limited experience, reloads can be fine too.

I've never shot a ton of the other stuff you mentioned, but I have gone through boatloads of magtech 9mm, .45acp, and .357 magnum without any issues.

It's somewhat dirtier than other stuff, but I clean my guns every time i fire them so it doesn't matter to me.

Yeah I clean my shit after every shoot too so I guess being dirty shouldn't concern me that much then.
I just hate having to take every single piece apart to clean between the nooks and crannies. If I could limit complete take downs to like a quarterly thing instead of after every shoot that'd be ideal.

probably difficult to get a scientific answer one way or the other.

and cleaning guns until they are museum quality clean every time we shoot them is definitely overkill anyway (i still do it because i like to).

honestly you could probably shoot whatever ammo you want (assuming it's non-corrosive) and only clean your weapons every 1000 rounds or more, and you'd still be fine.

a friend of mine bought some bottom tier 1911 and shot well over 1000 rounds out of it, never cleaned it, then left it in one of those soft cases for like 5 years, never touched it. When he finally brought it out, aside from some slight rust pitting on the frame, the bore and chamber were perfect after a good soak in solvent. This was like 3 years ago, and the gun is still running fine and I know he neglects the fuck out of it.

guns are strong, i'm just super anal about mine.

it's an okay price, he finished an 80% himself and now is selling it. if he intended to sell it as he was making it he is committing a crime. you should get it anodized, it's not too hard to do yourself. poke around on psa's website, see if they have a complete kit you like, if not buy the specific parts you want.

>>30969924
think about a 20 gauge, it'll be easier for her to swing and shoot, there are less ammo options than 12 but buck can be found online. as for handguns a .357 revolver loaded with .38 is a pretty common recommendation for a defensive gun for smaller people who aren't gun obsessed.

my local gunshows are the most fudd things ever. 80% is like completely rust encased unrestorable collectibles, and people reselling random common hunting rifles, shotguns, occasionally rare pistols (more along the lines of a astra or delta elite than a deagle or five7 though)

Resident visa = buy all the funs you want

Non resident visa = get a hunting permit (easy) and then buy whatever guns you want to.

This is federal law, some states might have additional restrictions, but others will not.

What is a fairly easy Military position?

>>30975547
Non-immigrant visa, not non-resident.

Basically you need to be in the country legally, establish residency, and then have a hunting permit from any state (not just the state you are living in).

This applies only to non green card folks. They have all the benefits of the 2nd amendment.

Accuracy depends on what you need. They are good to 100-150 yards. So unless you need better than that cause you think your gonna snipe at 400 yards your fine. Having said that, a basic AR is cheeper right now.

Yeah, I have a tac rig, and in that case, I would put the pistol in the vest in a place that won't interfere with the rifle/sling motion for going to ready, but if I'm NOT wearing a tac vest; how do I do this?

Or what's are comfortable and non motion inhibiting pistol holster positions on a belt (as mentioned; if I'm not wearing tac vest) that do not obstruct a slung rifle?

Did the prepping meme end, or do people just not talk about it on /k/?

I was reading about the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, and although something like that is unlikely to happen where I live, it got me thinking about prepping, or more importantly, just keeping a certain minimum amount of lifesaving and sustainment gear ready to go.

Stupid question: I tried a Norinco 1911 from a gun dealer and there's a bit of play. It rattles a bit. Is barrel/slide play normal? I heard it's the fit between the slide and the frame that matters.

The XC1 is grossly underpowered for the price but with the size, it's literally a no excuse to not carry a light on your handgun.

I have never carried a firearm on my person, concealed or openly. I just bought a glock 19, and although I don't plan on carrying it often, there will undoubtedly be some circumstances where I want to, especially in the car.

Assuming I have a good holster and dress properly, is there any significant possibility that someone will catch a glimpse of it and call the cops? What about random traffic stops? Is it a bad idea in general, or who the fuck cares kind of thing?

So you want to trade your FNX for a 9mm glock?

If you want a glock instead of an FNX then I think it's about an even trade.

That said, you can pick up police trade in g19s in the $300s so if you have a little cash and want to keep both guns, there's that.

If I buy a gun off a local gun stores online catalog, do I still have to pay a transfer fee? Or do they just stock it, call me when its in, and sell it to me in-store like a normal sell? After all, if I buy it off their catalog, they get all the money right?

Anyone without a license can fire a gun in Canada as long as they are within arms reach of someone who has the appropiate license for that class of gun (usually non-restricted for long guns, restricted for AR15 or handgun).

If you are going to be in Canada for a while, you could also take the safety course and get a visitor's license. You will need a letter from your local LEO in AZ showing you aren't a criminal. Also, turnaround time on it is minimum a month after you submit it.

You could also buy anything clasified as "antique", which includes modern reproductions of match/wheel/flintlocks. No need for a license, you just need to be: over 12 years old and not barred from owning guns due to a criminal conviction or domestic dispute restraining order. Please note that just getting the conviction or restraining order is not enough to disqualify you; the judge has to specifically disqualify you in their judgement.

that's pretty cool and all but that seems to more be for quickly slinging and putting away the rifle to draw the pistol

I'm more concerned about going from relaxed sling carry position to ready. I want at rest rifle position to have grip at equivalent of 4 or 5 oclock so I can draw like a pistol and swing it up easily .

more asking about comfortable alternate holster positions for a righty that don't get in the way of sling movement on draw and do not make the pistol particularly inaccessible or impede general movement

like I said with a chest rig; this is no problem whatsoever, I guess I'm looking for right-handed left side holster pistol methods if that makes any sense?

Does 9 o clock butt forward cross-draw make any sense?

>>30959609
Compared to most guns, yes. Just watch a vid and be careful not to make the "idiot scratch" when you fool with the slide stop.

Unlike most guns it can be completely disassembled without tools or training. Only the plunger tube, sights, and grip screw bushings need special care.

147 is subsonic and quieter in general.
124 is probably best all around performer if it matters.
115 or lighter is fine for hot summer carry.

I really like 147gr but it's harder to come across, recoil more and may have a longer overall length that could cause feeding issues in some guns.
In general, it's best to just stick with 124.
