And they're more likely to die of old age than to get shipped back. Plus every few years Democrat politicians give them another amnesty.

doesn't the ppk have horrendous recoil?

>>30831115
nah. it's a heavy little chunk of steel, and none of the calibers in which it has ever been manufactured was particularly powerful. The largest of them is 9mm Kurz, which is sold in the US as ".380 ACP." The design is straight blowback and does have a bit more snap and muzzle rise than a locked-breech design with the same bore axis and weight would, but nah. Most of them aren't in 9mm Kurz, either--most of them use the wee tiny little .32 caliber "7.65mm Browning" cartridge.

A late relative of mine owned a US-made stainless PPK and it was his daily licensed concealed carry pistol for over twenty years. He shot it. A lot. I shot a fair amount of ammo through it too. It was a .380. Recoil was minimal.

>>30831115
Yes
Small guns tend to have a much more substantial recoil since there isn't a whole lot of mass to absorb it.

Also, fun fact, that picture is all fucky because the PPK was never chambered in 9mm, .32 acp and .380, at most 9x18.

Why isn't really an answerable question, on close enough inspection it becomes a set of recursive answers describing how something came about. 'Why' implies meaning. There is none. There is only cause and effect. Free will is merely an illusion projected by meat computers complex enough that we cannot comprehend their inner workings.

It's planned. It's intentional. They want to replace the White race in America with a billion IQ-55 coffee-colored Third World peasants with the minds of rats. It's much easier to rule peasants than free men.

Just this week in Michigan the Secretary of State (Michigan has a single bureau responsible for both motor vehicle registration and voter registration) was on the news talking about the "need" for biometric-based ID and "enhanced" driver's licenses. One of the facts she blurted out in front of the cameras was that they just found that in Michigan nearly a hundred thousand illegal aliens were "accidentally registered to vote," which she blamed on the inherent inefficiencies of 20th Century-style drivers' licenses. How the fuck do you "accidentally" register to vote? How does that happen? How the fuck do you "accidentally" give a wetback a driver's license, for that matter? "Accidentally?"

It's happening in front of you.

>>30847728
Speaking of the USP, does anyone make metal mags for the .40 version? Will .40 caliber VP40 or P30 mags fit, or can they be altered to fit?

A gun store near me has a number of nice looking police trade-in USPs in .40 (yeah, I know, I'd kind of prefer 9mm, but--) for under $500, all Variant 1s with 1990s date codes and night sights gone dark.

The plastic mags feel flimsy and don't inspire confidence. I notice that the other USPs use metal mags, and HK went back to metal mags for later .40 pistols.

I've read that the plastic reinforcing ribs inside the mag to make the mag tubes stiffer interfere with feeding .357 SIG rounds, should you want to try a conversion barrel, and you get a single-shot pistol.

Anyway. Did anyone ever make a metal mag for the USP in .40? Or even any kind of extended floorplate? 13+1 for a full-size .40 service pistol as big as the USP seems a bit on the low capacity side in the year 2017.

>>30847765
Doing some searching, I don't think I've found anyone that makes any metal mags for the USP in .40. I've found metal mags for the USP compact in .40, but maybe there's a 3rd party company that does though I don't know. Personally, I'm more of a Glock/CZ-75/1911 guy.

So, anyone have any recent acquisitions? Last thing I bought was just a standard G19.

>>30852220
Not really recent but this spring I got a fullsize M&P 9mm that the prior owner apparently was getting set up as a gun for shooting steel plates. It has an Apex flat trigger, fitted with most of the takeup and reset slack removed, and an Apex enhanced reset disconnector, so you can feel the "pop" as you're letting the trigger forward and know it's ready to fire again. All this seems to have been just dropped in without any real polishing of the action parts, so the trigger pull weight is still up around six pounds, and the release is still a little mushy, and you can feel a little grit and drag in the remaining takeup, but it's still an improvement over the factory trigger. I sometimes think of taking it to a smith for just a fluff and buff of the striker and sear and so on to smooth it up.

Like a lot of M&Ps, it cycles okay but ejection is not terribly positive. Brass barely gets out of the ejection port, no matter whether it's WWB, NATO spec, subsonic, +P+, or Russian steelcase. I've read that this is because S&W originally designed the 9mm to use the same recoil spring as the .40 and .357 SIG versions, meaning the .40 and .357 are badly undersprung (and eventually got a more powerful recoil spring from the factory) while the 9mm has non-positive ejection and brass going every-which-way including straight back when it comes out, until you either clip a few coils off the factory recoil spring, put in a recoil spring that's a little less powerful, or just lock the slide open and leave it for a month to take a set.

I got a Detroit PD surplus fullsize M&P .40 last year and like it so much that when I saw a 9mm at a nice price I just had to have it.

>>30852434
So, what do you do to fix a gritty trigger? Just shoot more or do you need to send it over to a gunsmith to get that fixed?

>>30853142
In that specific case I will probably end up sending it to a smith and asking him to do a fluff and buff, light polishing of the internal parts without changing any angles, lightening any springs, etc., to smooth it up.

Is there any fundamental performance difference between hammer-fired vs. striker-fired that would lead one to be more advantageous than the other?

How do pones use guns with hooves?

>>30853629
Hammer fired guns almost universally have better triggers compared to striker fired guns, anyone who tells you otherwise is bullshitting or has never actually fired a hammer fired gun that wasn't a complete fuckup.
>M-muh aftermarket triggers
Sure, if you modify the fuck out of a glock or whatever it can have a nicer trigger than normal, but you can also upgrade a hammer fired guns trigger and those upgrade will blow any striker upgrades out of the water.

>>30853676
Define good trigger vs. bad trigger

>>30853693
Smooth feeling when applying consistent force versus inconsistent movement while applying consistent force. If a trigger is "gritty", a trigger pull could have some resistance at first, then have much less resistance and then some resistance again before firing. That can definitely throw off your aim, especially using a pistol.

>>30853706
>>30853693
Oh, forgot to mention, some triggers, like on 1911, just put up resistance and don't budge until it reaches a particular threshold and then just releases the hammer. Again, good vs bad in that scenario may be how much force is needed to overcome the resistance or how much "play/give" before you hit the resistance, and so on.

>>30853693
Good trigger
>Smooth, low weight pull until a certain point, applying a few more pounds at this certain point results in a crisp break with very little travel

Bad trigger
>Spongy, heavy, too much take up to the break point, break point is heavy and has quite a bit of travel, etc...

>>30853693
1/2

This is subjective. Smoothness is part of it--grittiness is distracting--but the release matters also, at least in a single action or striker fired trigger. The release should be crisp, or if the design does not allow for that, at least smooth.

And if we're talking about a double action trigger, whether for a revolver or a DA/SA semiauto, it needs to be not nearly as smooth as possible but it is also helpful if there are tactile cues for the position where it's about to fire that allow the user to pause and focus on the sights before applying that last bit of pressure. This is called "staging the trigger."

Old Colt double actions--not just Pythons, though most of the Pythons were hand-fitted at the factory to a standard of smoothness that astonishes people whose only exposure to a DA trigger pull was an Army M9 or a cheap South American J-frame copy--and just at the end of the trigger travel the resistance increases a small but noticeable amount. It's called "stacking," and some people, if you read old 20th Century gun magazine articles about bullseye competition with centerfire revolvers, didn't like it. I prefer it to the S&W style lockwork where there's not so much of an obvious point near the end, though sometimes you can feel the cylinder stop click into the cutout on the side of the cylinder just before the hammer drops. I find myself depending more on things like getting a set of grips so that I can pull the trigger with the first joint of my index finger and know it's about to fire when the tip of my index finger touches the left side grip panel.

It also happens that I love the Ruger GP100, rough cast parts and ludicrously overpowered springs or no, because just before the hammer drops, you can very distinctly feel the cylinder hand retract and the cylinder stop rise into place, CLACK CLACK, and then you know that with another ounce of pressure the gun fires.

2/2

Double action revolvers, by the way, are very difficult to shoot well in a hurry without cocking the hammer. When you're holding onto a two pound gun (or in the case of an aluminum framed five-shot .38 snub-nose, a one-pound gun with a microscopic sight radius) and hauling a twelve-pound trigger back over an inch of travel, it is natural and instinctive that you will also be tightening your grip on the gun with your other three fingers, and probably also pushing in or pressing down with your thumb simultaneously. This is called "gorilla gripping" or "hammer gripping" the gun, and even though you might be trying to hold the sights in line, it has a way of making the bullets scatter around low and left, at least for right-handed shooters.

So one of the things you learn from practice with double action revolvers is to concentrate very hard on the way you hold the gun and move only your index finger, without changing the tension or pressure your other fingers put on the gun. It's counterintuitive and not easy to learn, and it's a habit that goes away if you don't practice frequently. This is one of the reasons that skill with firearms is a perishable skill requiring constant practice to maintain.

The up side is, the habit of concentrating on your grip this way will improve your accuracy and your scores with other types of handgun, even single-action types that most people can learn to use fairly well just by thinking "front sight, press. Front sight, press."

Rhody shorts are the best

>>30842235
Glocks are fine. I own one. The only things I'd complain about are the factory sights and the grip. It's stupid easy to disassemble and tinker with, and shoots anything you put in it, and has a ridiculous aftermarket. Don't buy into the memes from either side

>>30855617
Personally, I think of Glocks as the Honda Civics of the pistol world. Lots of after market parts, lots of customization, but the bare-bones package works well for many. Would you say that's an apt comparison?

Who else would be Celestia's /k/night?

...so, has anyone tried one of the Gen 5 Glocks yet?

I went to the opening day and rented a Gen 5 model 19. It felt like the trigger had been maybe smoothed up just a tiny bit, without the usual grit in the takeup. This was positive. I am neutral on ambidextrous slide stops so long as the right-side one is not obtrusive, and thought the new mag well funnel and the cutout on the frontstrap to help remove the mag in the event of a double-feed stoppage were worthwhile. And I was never a fan of the finger grooves on the medium and small frames, though on the Glock 20 and 21 they actually seem to fit my hands.

On the other hand, half the ejected brass hit me in the face.

>>30866224
Have you ever owned a Glock before?

>>30866283
Yes. I own a beat-up Gen 2 G17, which has been back to Glock twice, and which keeps hitting me in the face with brass. They keep putting new extractors and extractor springs and ejectors in it. I am getting pretty frustrated.

None of my other semiauto pistols, in any caliber, does this.

>>30866304
Weird. I own a 26, and I hardly ever get brass to the face. It usually starts to happen after a lot of shooting

>>30866332
I like the way it balances and points, and it always cycles, feeds, and functions 100%, even with the most dubious foreign steel-case and surplus ammo. I even got a Zev 3.5 pound trigger put in it for a while, though I had to take it back out because it's been going back to Glock so much (they don't like aftermarket internals--aftermarket sights they tolerate, but nothing else).

I am considering sending it out to have the ejection port lowered. Apparently this can be fixed by removing a little bit of metal and changing the angle of that bottom portion of the ejection port. A place in Florida does it for $75.

It looks a bit large to me.

I have a soft spot for older revolvers, and think that one of S&W's more practical variations was the 3" Model 13s and 65s--three inch K-frames in .357 Mag, with fixed sights, and, mostly, round butt grip frames.

A 158 grain jacketed hollowpoint doing an honest 1175 ft/sec ain't no joke, and the revolvers were big enough to have enough to hold on to and small enough to conceal well in a decent holster.

I was just being a jerk. The smaller Smiths are outstanding revolvers. Much more practical too. I just love the big hand cannons for stupid fun.

>>30871873
.357 magnum is kinda wasted out of anything less than a 6" barrel honestly, 5" at an absolute minimum, the velocity loss basically reduces it to a heavy recoiling 9mm

>>30871887
Well, no doubt, the N-frames in calibers that begin with "4" are serious big-boy toys that can also be used for hunting medium sized North American game.

I have for some years wanted a 5 1/2" Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum but they're getting hard to find used, and they're not high on my list.

I sometimes think that if I ran a distributorship big enough to have exclusive variants, like TALO or Davidson's, I'd ask Ruger for a combination of the Redhawk frame and the Super Redhawk grip attachment, which would allow use of any of the GP100 grips, of which there are a great variety. Make a 6" version in .41 and .44 Mag, with a barrel with a full length heavy underlug of the same pattern they have on the GP100 barrels. Chamfer the chambers at the factory just slightly to speed up reloading with a speedloader. Maybe offer a choice of brushed stainless or brushed stainless blackened with a Melonite/Tenifer type finish for hunting.

I've tried a 6" 629 and enjoyed it immensely, but haven't seen a used one at a price that compelled me to go for it. And I keep reading that shooting lots of fullpower .44 Mag ammo will beat up an N-frame's internals and make it "shoot loose," whereas this isn't a problem with the Redhawks.

I've also been fascinated by the .41 Magnum cartridge ever since I read a story, long ago, in which the protagonist was a police detective who carried an unauthorized S&W M58 on duty. I've not seen a Model 58 at a non-collectors'-item price in a long time, though.

I think the .41 Magnum cartridge sounds good in theory but I can understand why it didn't really catch on, offering nothing that the .44 Mag didn't really do better.

>>30871923
A lot depends on the ammo, really. I've seen chrono tests on Youtube showing factory .357 ammo with the 140gr Barnes solid copper hollowpoint doing 1250-1300 out of a 4" revolver, which seems to be well in excess of what the 9mm is capable of. I also see handloads with 22.0 grains of H110 and 125gr Hornady hollowpoints doing just a hair short of 1600 ft/sec out of a 4" GP100. Admittedly that gun might have had an unusually tight barrel-cylinder gap but even the Remington "UMC" green-and-white-box 125gr JHP breaks 1500 more often than not in 4" revolvers when someone tests it.

And then there is the .357 ammo from companies like Underwood and Buffalo Bore, which is downright scary. Underwood loads the 158gr Hornady hollowpoint to do just shy of 1500 from 4" revolvers, and it's impressive in Jell-O tests too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJk_YHO6hDk

I know there's some .357 Mag ammo out there that's loaded a bit on the light side and might be intended for snub-nose revolvers, which gives hot 9mm levels of performance, but there's also stuff that's a few steps above that.

recommend me a good cheap first gun /mlk/

What's your budget and what are you looking for (rifle or handgun?)

Personally, as much as I know it sounds like a meme, the glock 19 honestly is one of the best first time guns you can get; reliable, good defensive caliber, best price to performance option on the market, decent for concealed carry, easy to take apart and thus easy to clean, cheap to train with since plinking 9mm is pretty inexpensive (but you should splurge on a few boxes of a good defensive hollow point rounds), etc.

If you're more into rifles, can't go wrong with a 10/22, .22lr is cheap, good for small game like rabbit, and good to train with without developing flinch.

Mosin Nagants are a shitty meme, don't get one unless you're looking to get into collection. SKS's are basically the price of a cheap AK in the states these days. As far as shotguns go the Maverick 88 is hands down the best budget option.

>>30874315
any type of long gun is what I'd prefer, and my tentative budget is 400 dollaridoos. I'll look into getting a Maverick 88

What's your budget and what's your intended use?

In my opinion, unless you want to try your luck on used firearms, if you want a .22 rifle with which to learn to shoot, probably the best bargain going--if we factor into it things like availability of spare parts, which is unimportant until the extractor breaks and you need a new one--is probably either the Savage 64 or the Marlin 795, if you like detachable box magazine fed semiautos. If you'd prefer a bolt-action, the Savage Mark II FVT has a detachable box magazine and comes out of the box with an adjustable trigger and Olympic-style diopter target sights, and in the hands of a capable user will shoot right up there with an Anschutz match gun at four times the price. It does come with a cheap-feeling hollow plastic stock, which some people replace with wood, but the guns work.

As a training piece specifically I think the 10/22 has strengths and weaknesses. You can get a version that comes out of the box with peep sights for target shooting and training. (there's a factory version of the Marlin 795 with peep sights too but they can be hard to find), but most 10/22s come with a folding rear sight that I personally find nearly unusable, with a microscopic notch in the center of a stepped down area that from the rear looks like it IS the rear sight notch, complete with distracting white markings. Some people actually drift out the old sight and put on the plain stamped sheet metal rear open sight from a Marlin 60 or 795 (because it is plain black, and flat on top, and usually has a notch that's a bit more generous than the one on the folding sight Ruger uses) which fits the Ruger's barrel dovetail, though you have to zero it for elevation with a stepped elevator, which is a bit of a pain in the ass and not particularly precise. I've heard of people drilling and tapping a hole in them for an allen screw and using that for elevation instead, though.

>Maverick 88

Home defense, then? It's a cheap riot gun with a cast aluminum receiver and does not really lend itself to shooting skeet or sporting clays, at least not in the normal out-of-the-box configuration, though Mossberg 500 barrels will fit it.

>>30875918
well i cant legally keep a gun in my home. but i will be able to someday. Shit, maybe ill just get a 22 to plink with

>>30876325
You can learn a lot with a .22. Ammo is cheap and plentiful, which gets you more bangs per dollar. I highly recommend them as learning tools. Maybe not for fighting for your life, so much, but they're definitely good teaching tools.

>>30876325
If you end up with a 12 gauge shotgun, some types of ammunition are better than others for home defense.

I favor #4 buckshot:

The brand doesn't matter, just 12 gauge, 2 3/4" shells, 27 pellets of #4. There is also 34 pellet #4 buckshot available but not every store is going to have it. It's comparable but the "short magnum" shells with the extra payload kick harder:

Ruger 10/22. It is an excellent firearm that can be changed and accessorized as your needs change and skills grow. They are very easy to work on if necessary and every single part can be swapped using rudimentary handtools. The aftermarket is massive too. You can build a 10/22 using nothing but aftermarket components if you so chose.

The shotgun shells with no metal visible? They were manufactured in the 1980s by a company in Kearneysville, West Virginia, and later in the early 90s copies were made in Yugoslavia for export, before the civil war there.

It was an innovative idea. The only metal in the hull was a little metal socket for the primer in the base of the cartridge case. People had this perception that the metal case head was needed and that the "Activ" brand ammo was weird and "cheap," and in some specific guns some people did have extraction problems due to the plastic case rim breaking off.

People who reloaded them generally said they were great. Though the typical high-volume shotgun reloader is a skeet or trap fanatic who shoots them through a double barrel shotgun, which most likely doesn't subject the case to the same kind of forces as does (for example), the old Browning Auto-5, some of which would rip the plastic case rims right off. Auto-5s have a rather violent extraction cycle.

They don't make them any more.

Damn shame, seems like an interesting concept.

I always wondered about making cheaper ammunition using plastics, I think I even remember a thread on /k/ about it. Does it seem feasible at all for mass production and military use?

So, was the reduced metal to reduce manufacture costs or ammo weight or something? Also, are there other innovative things in terms of ammo/cartridge production out there? I know that there was a caseless cartridge developed a while ago, but never really followed why it didn't take off.

Both.

>Also, are there other innovative things in terms of ammo/cartridge production out there?

The next generation of military small arms ammunition won't be reloadable, but they aren't going to pay for dumping all the M16s and M4s until they're all completely worn out because "return on investment" is big. It's gonna be stuff like the Hughes Lockless cartridge design, or Andrew Grandy's Folded Path Cartidge (see image). Most of this stuff was designed in the 1970s and some goes back to the old SPIW project. If the Cold War hadn't ended maybe we'd be seeing some of this stuff in use.

The end of the Cold War was what killed HK's 4.7mm caseless assault rifle cartridge, too. The Bundeswehr had selected the G11 to replace the G3, the MP5, and the Uzi SMG universally. Then the Berlin Wall came down and they cancelled the contract. HK damn near went bankrupt and it took them until after 9/11 to start to recover.

>I know that there was a caseless cartridge developed a while ago, but never really followed why it didn't take off.

The Cold War ended and the G11 was an expensive novelty that the newly unified German government decided they neither needed nor could even afford any more, not with having to absorb millions of unemployed East Germans and clean up the toxic waste and all the Soviet chemical weapons dumps left during the occupation, which they didn't take with them when they left.

How would the Lockless/Folded cartridges work with modern rifles? Also, would the polymer casing be strong enough to contain the force of the powder igniting?

I haven't seen the patent drawings but weapons were designed around them, from infantry rifles to belt-fed stuff even up to a prototype 30mm autocannon built as a proof of concept, suitable for mounting in the turret of an IFV, or on a helicopter gunship, or jet fighter. Actual toolroom one-off prototypes were built and subjected to range testing. All this stuff was for real, and actually worked and ran--at least as well as most prototype stuff does.

Pic related was built in 1972. With the US military budgets being cut with the winding down of the Vietnam war, though, there wasn't much of a chance of adoption.

But here's Gun Jesus with some information about caseless ammo systems generally.
