It's sad /k/ still doesn't have country flags. The only two conclusions I can draw from your post are that you are either retarded, too young to be on 4chan, or you aren't American. In the latter case, it's understandable, but you should really disclaim it so people don't get pissed at you for acting like a jackass when you could have simply done the polite thing and asked me to explain what I meant by "prewar," since you're clearly not getting it.

"Prewar" is an extremely common term used in America to denote the drop in the quality and in the availability of skilled craftsmen in the workforce - in all sectors of the market - after WWII, due in large part to the fact that so many of them died killing Nazis and Japs. Just in my experience, this is well known and well documented with Colt's manufacturing and Gibson's (maker of guitars, banjos and other instruments) manufacturing as well. I am certain there are other examples with other items produced by skilled craftsmen, and anecdotes exist with literally every other gun manufacturer, I can only give specific examples from those two companies because I have extensive experience with them. In the case of Colt, their production ceased entirely during WWII and production of many of their handgun models was simply not resumed after the war. As gun manufacturing became more and more mechanized, the few skilled craftsmen remaining became less and less relevant, many of the skills have simply died out.

>>34355724
Go watch Hickok45's video on the Hi-Point because I think it's your best shot of seeing an objective experience of someone who knows about guns, rather than some poorfag trying to justify his purchase instead of writing a review. He had plenty of stoppages on camera. That said, the Hi-Point is mainly rated that low because they are ugly, they are not user serviceable, they are made of low quality materials, and generally not intended to survive shooting 10,000s of rounds.

>>34356047
OK, you got me.
>>
>>34356047
Seeing that the company has been around for like a century, i'm not surprised that they've had just a failed design.

Not everyone wants to be glock and survive by making exactly one product.

>>34355308
I would argue Kel-Tec should be higher just because they actually try to innovate; there is no shortage of Kel-tec designs. Some work, some dont, but some of the most niche or weird-feature guns on the market are made by Kel-Tec.
>>
>>34356176
Kel-Tec has a lot of really innovative designs, and the company itself shouldn't be in Garbage Tier at all. However, the implementation of their designs is absolutely horrendous. I have yet to meet a Kel-Tec owner in real life who was happy with his gun, and even the ones I have talked to online who claim their guns to be 100% reliable always seem to have done significant TLC to their guns to get them running right.

When I wrote "may require a bit of TLC" for Acceptable Tier, I was referring to things like removing a magazine floorplate and rubbing the top of it against sandpaper a little bit to get the magazine to seat a little more easily into the magwell (as in the case of my LCPII with the flush floorplates); or with my North American Arms Guardian, I had to take the grips off, put some oil down into the mainspring housing and dry fire the gun 100+ times to take some of the grit out of the trigger pull. Both guns were totally functional without doing that, though.

My dad owns one and I've shot his for years. It was the first semi auto hand gun I ever shot. There's no denying that it's unergonomic compared to literally any other safety. You have to rotate your hand more than other slide-mounted safeties even because of how thick the grip is. Unless your thumb has 5 joints and one is a ball and socket, in which case use one of your people's plasma pistols.

It's a bad safety. Deal with it.

Ruger revolvers should be even lower actually.

Buying a Taurus is a crapshoot. You might get one that runs perfect and you only spent $300 on it, so you have a decent gun for a low price point. What's more likely to happen is getting a gun that needs to be sent back to Taurus twice before it actually shoots normal ammo well. The last PT809 we got at my place of employment had a strange feature where the slide locks back without an empty mag and it just sits there until you use a rubber mallet to knock the slide back into battery. The decocker is kind of cool on those though.

Most common handgun calibers only in this variant of tiers. Considering only center of mass hit with proper defensive loads. No, not doing stoppin' powuh. Key word "instantaneous". No, not doing capacity.

>God (yes God) tier.
>Stop the fucking mental gymnastics to avoid using a word.
>Causes 99% instantaneous death.
>Even a femur becomes a grenade when hit and still causes instant death.
Virtually every revolver chambered in .44 mag and up, and .50 AE.
You'll survive even if your aim is shit.
Start at this level, and you are a dumb ass.

>Critical condition tier, unlikely to survive, unless the surgeon is gifted.
>Instantaneous death in over 80% of direct hits.
Virtually every revolver chambered in .357 mag, and 10 mm.
You'll survive if you can aim.
Hopefully you shoot 6" groups at 7 yards at the range.

>Critical but stable condition tier, even county hospital and MASH surgeons can save him while racing a 15 minute egg timer.
>Instantaneous Death in over 50% of direct hits.
9mm, .357 SIG, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .44 Special & .45 ACP
You'll need semi-automatic fire to survive an encounter, or a minimum of 3 hits with the Specials.
Hopefully you shoot 12" groups at 7 yards at the range. I've seen worse.
If you skip .22 LR, this will be most peoples first exposure to guns.

>Shit tier.
>Anything with death in less than 50% of direct hits.
.22 LR
You'll need fully automatic fire to survive an encounter.

>>34358643
That is an excellent criticism. Unfortunately, without shooting a lot of people in a controlled setting, I don't think it is really possible to get a complete understanding of the role of specific caliber/loading/projectile performance on the human body.

Ellifritz's observations are limited by incomplete data on GSW victims' physical health, lack of data on types of projectile, range, intoxication, not to mention all the GSWs where the caliber is not documented.

The idiot who got his information on handguns from old westerns and eighties action movies can fuck right off, but you are ok.

>>34357857
(You)

>>34357151
They aren't made like Swiss clocks. I would say that the Guardian is to Seecamp what Ruger is to Smith and Wesson - canted hammer, gritty trigger pull, generally needlessly beefier construction than the Seecamp (2 oz heavier) despite basically being a clone of it in design. My mini .22 revolver also had a slightly canted hammer.

>>34357908
Stop saying that. I've owned many Rugers over the years. Rugers are consistently rougher around the edges, have worse triggers and are more prone to having minor issues than Smiths, and that's even taking into account Smith and Wesson's sporadic drops in quality. If YOU had owned both, you'd understand this.

>>34357914
If you actually shoot your guns, then you only need to ever buy one Taurus to know how shitty they are.

>>34358390
Did you come up with that from playing video games?

>>34358546
>Is there anything wrong the Kahr pistols
Quality is highly variable. There are lots of people who swear by the all metal Kahrs, but the plastic ones tend to have issues jamming, at least until a significant amount of the plastic frame rails have sheared off for there to be no friction when the gun is cycling. I have also read very disturbing things about the barrels peening on the forward corner of the barrel hood, which is required for positive lock up.

>>34350909
There are some disturbing things on Walther Forums right now about Walther barrels peening as well.

>>34358801
Very low sales, few people have owned more than one of them, and it's hard to judge a gun that has no practical purpose. My Desert Eagle jammed badly and I hear that this is common for the model. Based on my sample alone, I'd put the gun into Garbage Tier; however, some people would say that some jamming is acceptable for a range toy (like .22lr firearms), given how fun it is to shoot the rest of the time.

Oh, wait. It looks like I left out Exeter Sig Sauer. They would have been #6 at the top of Good Tier. Not sure how the entry got deleted, must have happened accidentally because they were definitely there in my initial draft.

I remember debating whether CZ should be considered better than Exeter Sig, due to the many problematic designs that Sig has put out recently, for example with the P238/P938 having so many reported problems and revisions by the manufacturer after the initial release. Sig still makes a lot of quality guns, but using your paying customers for beta testing of your products is a shit business practice, and CZ has never done it. On the other hand, every CZ I've ever held or owned has just felt "less refined" than pretty much every Sig, even the ones completely designed in Exeter.

Im 6'2" 200. It wouldn't matter if my hands are big or not. You still need to move your hand more to actuate the safety than in other, better, design.

Objectively false. They have Lego tier aftermarket only matched by the AR15 and you can't drop your pants at a gun show without flashing a certified Glock armorer.

>You sweep your thumb forward and it disengages the safety. There's no extra effort to it at all.

Assuming your gun starts in your holster when you take the safety off. Even then it's further from your grip and your thumb will have to make a wider sweep. If you start with the gun in your hand you need to shift your whole grip to flick it instead of one part.

>In short: kill yourself.

It'd be easy since I don't have a retarded safety getting in the way. Instead I'll live to enjoy the tears of butthurt dagos.

So, again, the problem with the safety is you have tiny fucking hands and can't reach the controls? It works just fine for the men here, go knit a scarf for your Glock 42.

>>34364625
They are the among the most reliable and have the highest capacity to weight ratio of any modern pistol. Those are two things which set it apart there.

The Beretta safety is considered a standard safety type in Europe. When you are trained to use only that type of safety (or when you are smart enough to learn two systems), then the "opposite" argument goes away. There is nothing inherently better or more intuitive about clicking a safety down to fire.

And before you get to technique, it's true that some people have trained themselves to shoot all handguns with their thumb resting on the "1911 thumb safety location" or "riding the thumb safety" in the case of shooting actual 1911s, but this is not an inherently better shooting grip. Anyone who shoots Sigs, HKs and some other types of handguns will tell you that this shooting grip is a great way to lose your last round slide hold-open by accidentally holding the slide catch down. I shoot both Sigs and 1911s, and I just use a thumb-over-thumb grip (dominant thumb over and slightly behind non-dominant thumb) for all handguns, since it's the most compatible with a wide variety of gun designs. Absolutely no difference in my ability to control the gun.

I'm not saying it can't be done, just that it's measurably slower and inferior to any other option. This is part of the reason every police force, and now the army, is dropping them.

They'll take their place alongside the model 10 as bargain basement curiosities. No new gun buyer should be tricked into thinking it's anything but a disadvantage.

Thumb over thumb is how you should be holding it, which is why the beretta design is bad. It puts the safety further away from your right hand (assuming you're right handed) while you're gripping the gun that way. And the slide stop is positioned in the same general area on other guns, so your thumb will be resting near it anyway. Not that it would matter since when you're not actuating safeties, you otherwise wouldn't be moving that thumb.

The original Beretta 92 may be a bit large for some hands, but the M9A3 fixes this by shortening the grip, and other guns with slide-mounted safeties, like the PX4, the Makarov, the PPK, Ruger P95 - just among the guns I've tried - will fit a wide variety of hand sizes. It it's not too far away for your thumb to reach it, which the 92 isn't for a lot of people, then what's the problem?
>>
>>34365831
Because old ones can be had used for less than $400.

Government funded police agencies and militaries can afford better. As can most people not working part time McJobs.
>>
>>34365838
The problem isn't the length, it's the thickness, which they addressed in the A3 by thinning the grips. Regardless, the relative distance of the safety from your thumb remains an issue on it an other guns with slide-mounted safeties. People "can" and do use them, but it's far from an ideal or desirable feature. At best, it's not a problem.
>>
>>34365905
>The problem isn't the length, it's the thickness, which they addressed in the A3 by thinning the grips
It's the circumference of the grip, which is technically both.

>Regardless, the relative distance of the safety from your thumb remains an issue on it an other guns with slide-mounted safeties.
It's only really an issue for certain guns if you have small hands, but even if your hands are on the small side of medium, there are guns with slide-mounted controls that you'll be able to use. I feel like 80-90% of men won't have any issue manipulating a Beretta 92's controls, and of the 10-20% that do have an issue, most of them can figure out a way to still make it work.

Beretta is the quintessential manlet gun. Huge and heavy to create the impression in observers that it fires anything but a pipsqueak round.

Hopefully we get it eventually. I'm holding out on the M9A3 because the baby barf color just doesn't excite me.

Berettas are for everyone.

Only retards can't operate the safety.

If the military can do it, I would hope that anyone could.

Sig needs to be in the same category as Taurus if we're going by their current state. I've read more cases of Sig pistol going back to the factory out of the box than any other company besides Taurus. And at least Taurus doesn't try to jew you with the same tactics as modern video game companies like Sig does.
