Glad to see you guys got ones that shoot straight, I have one that shoots 6 inches to the left even when the rear sight is adjusted so far to the right that it's about to fall out of the slide.

SARCO sold me mine for all of $175.

>>32284886
Mines a bit off too, sometimes. Mine had the sight WAY too far to the left so my dad whacked it with a hammer and screwdriver then fine tuned it the rest of the way myself.

Got your self a popper hi power holster. Just bought my dad this one.

>>32284886
My dad already has a safe queen Hi power so I was thinking about getting one of these. If I get one that doesn't shoot straight, could I just replace the springs and barrel to make it shoot straight? I know Hi power parts are identical and interchangeable with this gun, what ever it is called.

Got a new in box Hi-Power Mark III last week, and I am getting a WASR this week. Only complaint with the Mk3 is the hammer, does anyone make rounded hammers for the New BHPs?

>Like the ergonomics and the history of the Hi-Power
>Despise the classic safety

Are there after market options?

>>32285548
Pretty sure you can just pop an older hammer in there. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/hammer-parts/hammer-sear-sets/browning-hi-power-hammer-sear-spring-set-prod20906.aspx

>>32285561
no

>>32284747
So why do ya'll hate the magazine safety? I know it's annoying but wouldn't it be good if someone were trying to wrestle your gun away from you, drop the magazine and they can't shoot you?

ONE HUNDRED AND NINE FUCKING DOLLARS? FOR THE FUCKING HAMMER? WHAT IN THE FUCK

>>32285889
I have, The price was too good for me to pass up and be picky. BHPs are hard to find where I live

>>32284747
Thinking about picking one up for a general purpose pistol that can do CC, does the Hi-Power do ok?

>>32285885
Cause if you unholster your weapon in a defensive situation and accidentally drop your mag, then you at least have 1 bullet to shoot

also if you want to drop the hammer super safely, you would need an empty mag to stick in there to dry fire.

>>32285915
So then it's still a double-edged sword.

I picked this up for $350. Cheap because it's been refinished but some previous owner put a lot of effort into restoring it. All the springs seem new and the safety has a nice snap to it still, unlike my other very worn out nickel model.

>>32285973
380 or 32? Looks really good

>>32284886
If your gun shoots left, you should move your rear sight left so that it shifts your point of impact to the right.

Hey neat, I also own a 1300 Defender. One of the dadsguns I mentioned.

The 1911 is the lightweight commander model. I like it so far but haven't shot either yet. Another anon in a different thread mentioned the SXP was made in Turkey, which I didn't bother to look at because it looked neat and was only $250.

>>32285996
Cool shit my dude

>>32285989
I wouldn't worry about the SXP being made in Turkey. AFAIK, it seems like the Turks make pretty good guns.

Got this Turkish Vz.98 last weekend. It turned out to have a fair amount of pitting on the barrel hidden below the woodline, so I didn't get the deal I was hoping for. Nothing serious though, and I'm hoping it'll be a good shooter.

Thanks anon. I still cannot believe I got this lucky twice within six months.
Both times it was guys who had to give up shooting because of medical reasons (Eurofag: Can't own guns unless you actually particuipate in competitions), and who had to get rid of their guns. Even so, they didn't know what those guns were really worth. Seriously, 600 euro for a KORTH!?

>>32285973
Damn, what I wouldn't give for a nice 1903 or 1908. How expensive are mags? Do you shoot it often? It's just a fucking beautiful gun.

Honestly a SW bodyguard does fine for pocket carry. I usually always carry an H&K but when I have to carry smallest possible the BG works fine. No laser.

Want! Where to cop?

>>32285548
You can add any Hi Power hammer you like. Cylinder & Slide generally makes good parts.

>>32285561
Hell, yes. There are at least a couple-few extended safeties out there.

>>32285885
First thing I did with both of mine was yank it out. Actually, my Hungarian already had its gone when I got it. I hate it when my gun tries to be smarter than I am. If I press the trigger, I want the hammer to drop, period.

>>32285908
The Hi Power is damn near perfect for a general purpose, general use pistol, and also a sweetheart to carry. It feels lighter and slimmer than you'd think it would. Possibly the best carrying full size pistol around. It's really closer in size to a 4" 1911 or G19, though slimmer than both.

>>32292091
I haven't done it, but I can't foresee any problems with just adding the FN ambidextrous safety to an FEG clone.

>>32285548
Cylinder and Slide does if you want new.

Personally I'd use an older T-series or GP35 hammer.

>>32289855
How much did you pick it up for? I've been thinking of picking up one of the 3rd gen S&Ws and I'm leaning towards the 45.

>>32292150
1924 manufacture, 1948 conversion, actually didn't ask if its original brass or not, just kind of assumed it wasnt cause of the price point. Looks like yours has seen better days

Where do you find these cheep HPs? I looked for a lark on gunbroker and such and it's just niggas charging an arm and a fucking leg when I hear they are supposed to just be 250-350 or so used if they aren't the top tier belgian waffle ones

>>32295703

Ah nevermind, looked up FEG Hungarian and the prices are proper.

>>32288495

Is it possible to remove the rest on a PPK mag? I've got one I inherited from my mum's father and I believe the spring-mag for one of the mags is misbehaving. Last time I shot it a few years ago (neglected to shoot much but I keep it oiled and well taken care of) it would stovepipe on that mag but not on the other mag. So I figure get a new spring for it or just a new mag, but I want to make sure the rest keeps that sexy brown matching color.

Been dying to get it on the range since I picked it up on Monday, and it's a sweet shooter, especially for a .45. I'm thinking about a light and laser for it.

>>32288393
Not to go all /v/ here, but that's the gun that was designed with the monstrous laser module that they had in Metal Gear Solid, right?

>>32295676
Mines a 1914 LSA Mk III that was a 1932 conversion and its been reamed out for 3 inch. It is a little nasty but it doesnt look that bad in person. Still glad to have it though. Not many people know about them an I couldnt find one locally for like 2 years

>>32296054
Cant wait to shoot it, gonna try hitting some clays

>>32295933
Yes anon. It's called the LAM, or laser aiming module. I might get one eventually but they're stupid expensive.

>>32296049

>>32295841
Yes, they are removable. There is a hole in the magazine floorplate. Use a punch and push upward to unlock the floorplate from the retainer and slide the floorplate forward off the magazine.

Here is a chart showing the variations of PP and PPK finger extension floorplates. Mine is a Type 4.

>>32296298
The Mk.23 is infamous for being both incredibly durable and reliable in the harshest conditions where other guns will fail. It was the winner of a Special Operations contract for a combat handgun system that could serve as a primary weapon rather than a sidearm. There's just one problem (aside from the fact that buying one will cost you ~$2000):

The gun is massive to the point of being unwieldy. It's the same size as a Desert Eagle, for reference. Even the USP, which is a scaled down version of the Mk.23 meant to address this problem, is still huge compared to most other popular guns these days.

>>32285973
...You didn't happen to pick this up at a gun show, did you?

>>32296441
Hot damn. I held a USP at a shop a few months back and thought 'this gun is pretty damn big', and the parent gun is even bigger? I don't think that would bug me too much, though, I just dove on a PX4 Storm early last week. Sub-300 for a .45 was just too good a deal to pass up.

>>32294046
A little over $600 with the holster and after taxes

>>32296532
That is a pretty good deal on a pretty good gun, although I have some bad news for you. There's a special edition of the PX4 Compact with some awesome features that's releasing very soon.

It's the brainchild of Ernest Langdon, a champion shooter who also designed the awesome Beretta 92 Elite series back in the early 2000s, and it looks like it's going to be the definitive release for the PX4.

>>32296573
Is that a good price in your area? I've seen 3rd gen S&Ws here for in the low-to-mid 300s here. Is there anything that makes your particular model special?

>>32296638
Ah well. Maybe I'll pick it up in 9mm and make it my carry gun. The one I got is the full-size, so it's a bear of a gun, but hot damn does it shoot amazing. Whatever wizardry they've got going on with that rotary barrel works.

>>32296532
The gun itself is great. Yes, it's huge. But I'm not conceal carrying it either. I use a Safariland drop leg holster at the range and in the woods. It's my ultimate SHTF pistol because 45acp is a very common round, and I know it will be the most reliable firearm out there.

It shoots very well. It points naturally despite its size and the recoil is very light. There is a decent amount of muzzle flip due to high bore axis, but I plan to get a suppressor for it later on. It's 1 of 10 HK pistols I own, along with a USP 45. The magazines are even interchangeable (the usp mags require a floor plate swap which takes 10 seconds to do). Overall, it's a beast!

>picking up my Tikka T3 on friday

S O O N

>>32296664
Yeah, I hear you. The PX4 has been on the margins for years mainly due to terrible marketing by Beretta, but it's recently seen a rise in its popularity thanks to word of mouth on the internet.

This is the one I was talking about by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1LVe8kWaWU

>>32296690
Very cool. I've heard lots of good things about H&K overall, and mostly for the cool weird gun factor I've always wanted the MK 23.

>>32296658
It's special to me because it's a no dash 4506 with strong rifling and isn't beat to hell.

A lot of third gen S&W like the 5906 go for much lower prices. You could probably find a no dash 4506 for less on gunbroker but after shipping and FFL transfer fee you'd probably still be close to $600. Also the 4506-1 will cost less if you just want a third gen S&W .45 and don't care about the minor differences between earlier and later 4506's

>>32296469

No, it was at a local gun range's used counter.

>>32296766
Could you educate me on the pre M&P S&W autos? I know a lot about their revolvers, but not their autos other than that a lot of people don't seem to hold them in very high regard.

>A lot of third gen S&W like the 5906 go for much lower prices

Yeah, those are the ones I've seen the most by far. I assume that they were police trade-in guns.

They build quality stuff. I highly recommend anything they sell. Pricey, yes, but I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Never a single malfunction in any of mine that were firearm related.

>>32296885
Thanks. That was an interesting read. Do you know offhand if any of the 10mm 3rd gens were any good? I had heard that the Colt Delta Elites of the same period had extremely short life cycles.

>>32297018
I don't think the S&W 10mm guns had any better luck than the Colt's or Bren Tens as far as life cycle.

I know the FBI had plenty of parts breakages in their 1076 pistols they bought and they even cancelled the rest of their order. I don't know though if they cancelled it because of the short life expectancy of the guns or because of their agent's inability to manage 10mm recoil or some combination.

If I personally were to buy a third gen 10mm it would be mostly for show and I would limit it to lower power 10mm rounds when shooting, which kind of defeats to purpose of 10mm.
