from first hand experience, it's basically a semi-auto .44 Magnum with very mild recoil in the steel frame, and much higher velocity possibly making it compete with .44 Magnum out of a carbine rather than a pistol. haven't shot the polymer frame.

I'd still want a .44 because big boolet over 40 cal makes me smile.

Like the old boomer joke, why I carry a 45, they don't make a 46.

That being said ever look at the ballistic data of a 50GI? Wew lad I'll keep my 45.

Something is definitely cool about a big ole slug even if it's not always best for the job it'll always be cool.

big bullet will always do the job.

i've added more detail in my original post to explain things a bit better. but the round nose profile of some 9mm can be a bit pointy and if the slide spring in a bit bent or if the bullet protrudes a little more than OAL would allow in your particular pistol, the clearance can be very very tight, to the point where it might impinge on the slide stop spring.

if you take the slide off entirely, then have a magazine with one cartridge typical that you would experience issues with in the past, observe the clearance between the slide stop spring and the nose of the bullet, imagining it under recoil that might jolt the cartridge a bit forward, if that makes sense.

Do you think hollowpoints would work? Those should be easy to find and I hope I can solve the problem without removing the microscopic pins holding everything together.

Alright everyone, it's LPVO UPGRADE time

Options are:

Delta Stryker 1-6x SFP Mil reticle (polish company and the only US distributors are 3 or so 1-2 man shops)

Trijicon Credo HX 1-6x SFP BDC reticle (they made it a 55 grain accurate BDC as far as I can tell) - allegedly uses EXACTLY the same glass and components of the Delta with a different reticle

Wildcard - SAI 1-6x FFP with its "x" quick sight reticle

Loads of money option: Vortex Razor Gen 2e with Mil reticle (yeah for $1k ok, $1500 maybe, $2500 MSRP GTFO Vortex)

Will be replacing a Burris RT6 on a 16 inch AR.

Thoughts?

All I know about .50GI is what I saw on Ian's video a few years ago. That being said, my EDC is a .45, and my SAA clone is a .45Colt.

Me likum big boolets.

Some Westley-Richards gun porn. out of all the london gun makers I think WR has the best presentation and aesthetics. All of these are on my background rotation.
WR Magazine rifle:

in .425

in .275 rigby (aka 7mm mauser)

a fairly plain rifle

Drop lock SxS shotgun.

this is my current background pic. when you order a gun or rifle from WR (or any of the bespoke shops) you go through a whole process to ensure that the gun is perfect for you. your body is measured to ensure proper fit, you pick the wood blanks for your stock, and you work with the engraver to find a design perfect for you. the engraver then will draw it out on a sheet of paper before transferring it to the gun. thats what is pictured here.

some "standard" engraving. notice that "safe" is picked out in gold. the top lever is that Westley-richards wide body style. instantly recognizable.
Drop lock double rifes:

nice pistol grip cap.

a scoped double rifle. pretty unusual.

I am an unpaid triji shill so you can guess my vote.

From all I know yes same as Delta.

Try a few if you can before you consider seriously committing. There's so many that are good.

Bro, check out the sales EuroOptic has on this line. I've only ever run Trij red dots but their quality always impressed me. If their magnified optics are similar I'd say go for one of those.

Holy God those look good. I'm guessing tens of thousands of pounds per firearm.

That said, for that price they really do look the part.

Ahah nice. Well, they're basically six of one and a half dozen of the other. I'll probably buy both and decide then. They're within $40 of each other all the time. Trijicon just refuses to give the LED dot model any other reticle options.

The SAI in 1-6x FFP is really unique although maybe wait for a Gen 2....

I'm just miffed Vortex isn't making (at this time) a Gen 3 Razor e or.... A Gen 3 Viper. They just dropped a new Venom 1-6x but it's more budget oriented

If only I had unlimited cash....

don't care for the look tbh. I'd prefer the bolt to be color case hardened.

you'd be hard pressed to get out the door without spending atleast a 100k, but that is how they have stayed in business i suppose. that's why you buy used.

Ballistic tips in 1905:
these are Leslie B Taylor patent capped bullets meant for "ball and shot" guns. A ball and shot gun or a paradox gun is a double barrel gun that can fire shotgun shells for birds and gauge sized bullets accurately to a few hundred yards for dangerous game like tigers, thus the name paradox gun. The last few inches of barrel are rifled (on some guns of this type its invisible rifling).

You might think this is just a shotgun with a rifled choke but youd be wrong. these guns are built on double rifle actions and have thick barrel walls which allow these slugs to be loaded to nitro express levels of power.

Hollow points were all the rage in the hunting scene starting in the 1890s but they were not accurate at range due to their huge cavities. so LB taylor essentially invented the balistic tip. except his isn't plastic but is instead made of hollow brass which collapses into the hollow point and aids expansion. hunters back then also experimented with explosive bullets but that never caught on.

I admit I haven't shot a 44 yet lol. But I want to. It's the dirty Harry caliber after all. I am looking at that new Smith and Wesson lever action in 44 as a long term goal. That'd be a fun deer rifle I think.

Note the magazine

They heavily specialized in magazines and things related to them, creating windowed variations and comedically extended versions

A very weird Polish Beryl 5.56 AK. Wielder looks to be conventional infantry but the gun as a Magpul Zhukov stock and also appeas to be lacking the distinctive Beryl top rail


Really not sure what this guy hopes to achieve by placing a dot on a stepped down section of rail

M14 magazines are expensive enough is same as the M77's cutting a chunk out of it seems like a waste if you're buying them new.

Clyde Barrow gang shotguns:


Off-topic but one of the theories I’ve heard for Red Dead Redemption 3 is to have it set in the 20’s or 30’s with Jack as the protagonist and a sort of Bonnie and Clyde gang type situation as the main story. I think that would be a cool direction for the story to go in.

I want Red Dead 3. I want it real bad. I would love a game about Jack Marston running around in a 1920's America, with mafioso and organized crime starting to take a foothold. Have Jack struggle with remembering when gangs were more about freedom, and then having to contend with the highly organized, government-like modern gangs. Red Dead loves tying into events, so could even have some WW1 overlap stuff happen in the story, like having to keep the italian mafia off a shipment of guns intended to go to the frontlines or something. But for the love of fuck, not right now. Not with current Rockstar. We are just now on the arc of the pendulum swing before it starts swinging back to the good way. Let the things you really want to see sit for another 5 years when culture changes and we can have non-poz fun again.
There are two outcomes. Get it next year, and have it be shitty, full of dorkery, and then kill the franchise for a decade.
Or they wait 5-10 years, and it becomes a masterpiece worthy of it's moniker.

I think a better idea is to have the game set in 1929. The beginning of the game would be at the height of the roaring ‘20s with prohibition, the mafia, and bootlegging (emphasis on the latter so RDR3 can keep the country cowboy feel). Then towards the end of the game, Black Tuesday happens, which has a dynamic effect on the game world. Honest businessmen met earlier in the game now have to turn to criminality in order to survive, and there is more competition than ever.

To keep this slightly on-topic, here’s some cool stuff that could be seen in this hypothetical (non-shit) game:

The Thompson:

The BAR:

The MP-18:

And of course, MUH TWO WORLD WARS!!!:
