A pistol is way more practical.

Here's what you do.

You go to the nearest gun store that let's you rent firearms. Tell them you're interested in 3 pistols, but you're not sure which one you want yet. Tell them you want to try out the :

Glock 43x MOS
Glock 48 MOS
Glock 19 MOS

Try these out, see which one is most comfortable to shoot. Then buy that one.

If I ever buy another glork it will be a 48.

Getting into the mechanics of this, polymer pistols are notorious for this as they don't have the mass to absorb recoil, relying on the shooter to do that. Limp wristing makes it fail to extract or feed properly.

The solution is as easy as buying a metal framed pistol. I have an aluminum frame my 8 year old son can shoot through an entire mag with no issues. Same 8 year old couldn't get a polymer frame to cycle properly even once.

Glocks are great guns, and all pistols suffer if you limp wrist them, but it's generally not as much of an issue on metal frames.

Second this. I have trained all my family members on my full size Jericho and they never had an issue with FTF or jams. Hot ammo, wimpy ammo, don't matter. And these were brand new, never held a pistol, doing the one hand and wrist hold Barney Fife grips till I showed them how to not shoot like a fool.
The Jericho is what I hand all new shooters. Eats recoil so they don't get scared by the buck, doesn't have any feed issues that causes them to get spooked by a malfunction, long ass fucking gun so explosion and flash is far away from their hand, and is laser accurate so once they learn how to hold the gun it gives them limitless confidence when smoking targets at distance.

I understand and I mostly agree with the reasons for getting a pistol instead of an AR. Thankfully I am nobody important so unlike Null I don’t have any reason to be ambushed. I even live in a mostly law and order oriented city. Mostly. I feel I can worry about a pistol later. Right now I’m looking at the climate of the USA and I want to be prepared. I have experience with an M4 and M249. I can’t get an M249 and it wouldn’t be much use to me anyway so I’m looking for a semi-auto M4. I just don’t have over a thousand dollars to spend on short notice.

I went to the range with a woman once and she used a pistol while I borrowed the AR. Time after time her pistol locked and wouldn’t rechamber because she wasn’t strong enough to hold it right. I don’t have the time or money to go to the range and practice shooting pistols to be sure that doesn’t happen to me. I want what I know how to use.

I understand why you might think the rifle should be the first pickup. It makes sense. Odds are, you will never have to fire a weapon in self defense. Odds are, you won't even be involved in a situation where you need a gun to draw at all. But if you beat those odds, it will not be while you are home. It will be while you are out and about. And the old adage that a pistol on your hip is better than the tactical nuke at home is still true. Get a pistol first. A pistol is insurance that you will have on you at all times, even at home, I'm no more than a couple feet from one of mine. Same for the wife.
When situation calls for it, while you wait for the guys with the rifle to show up, the pistol is always on you.
If we hit the full tilt, you will still need to be mobile. You need gas, food, water. It won't be like movies where you're seeing roving packs of military and everyone on the streets is a combatant. If shit hits the fan, especially early on, it will be small scale issues while the vast majority goes about their lives. And if you leave the house in plainclothes and a pistol, you do not immediately stick out as a combatant as if you took a rifle with you to go buy potatoes.

It doesn't help that polymer frames actually under recoil. It helps take some of the edge off, but demands a better grip from the shooter.

All my favorite guns are jewish. Say what you want about the kikes, but when you spend thousands of years planning to kill everyone around you, you develop some really fucking solid guns.

I mean jewish guns are pretty cool if you pray at the synogogue of satan and have a moloch statue in your house, but i think id rather be a chad white goy and buy anything the rhodesians or aparthied south africans used if i was gonna go for the "gun designed to kill 10 trillion brown people" angle.

Using an isr*eli gun is like using a piece of machinery imbued with satanic magic looking for sacrifice to the dark gods, much like the movie christine but just less vehicular and more stationary. Very sad, many such cases!

Buying shit from iwi also means your buying shit twice, One for israel via tax extortion and one for you via personal purchase.

On Glocks and other striker guns you can use a cable tie halfway in the chamber to hold the gun out of battery so the trigger will still travel.

The movement imparted into the gun from trigger manipulation is what you are trying to eliminate.

I do sincerely appreciate all the genuine feedback guiding me on my first purchase thus far. It sounds like this would be an ideal candidate, and although it’s still a bit pricey to me, I can afford it using Guns.com’s Credova payment option. Criticize me all you want for that, but it’s either that or no rifle any time in the near future and I see that as unacceptable now. I just want to know if this is for sure an acceptable weapon and, since I don’t see anywhere to select the regular non-CA cucked version, I’m assuming they’ll just send me the regular one since I don’t live in CA?

I just dryfire my striker guns like a Chad.

If dry firing your pistol deadlines your gun, your gun sucks, get a different one.

Unless its a rimfire. Don't dry fire those.

Uhh no.

Holy fuck do NOT but that piece of shit if you don't live in Cali.

Other gun sellers do creedova or similar.


One


Two

And so on.

If you buy via PayPal you can do PayPal Pay in 4 if you're ok with paying over 6 weeks.

Look for a mid length gas system, on a 16 inch barrel carbine length is meh.

You've gotten lots of good advice, don't waste it on a piece of shit overpriced cali complaint rifle.

One more gem, https://gun.deals/

Loads of retailers in their database

Grab this from PSA if they offer credova or whatever (you really shouldn't finance a gun)
Set aside $80 to buy a used Romeo 5 and you're set. MBUS (Magpul Back up Sights) are $30.

$705 S&W Calicucked vs $469 for the PSA. Add $110 for the accessories ($580) and you still end up a hundred dollars ahead, with a better red dot.

Yes but then you have to rack the slide every time. I’m not worried about breaking my gun from dry fire, I’m wanting to train multiple trigger pulls without racking the slide every time. It’s not the trigger weight that makes the gun move, it’s the act of moving the trigger

There we fucking go.

Or, if you want Magpul furniture and a slightly better gas system there is this: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-pa15-16-nitride-a2-midlength-556-moe-ar15-rifle-fde.html

And if you wanna be a little bit handy, here is this combo: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa...weight-m-lok-moe-ept-rifle-kit-516446780.html

And


There we go, both are well under that cali-shit abomination

Wouldn't recommend anybody new to rifles put together a rifle, especially one that they aren't familiar with yet. Better to start with a full rifle and learn to disassemble, especially when it involves something that literally explodes a few inches from your face.

I forgot to say in the previous post, pick up a USGI sling as well. They are cheap, they can assist you in shooting and they help to lug the rifle around. They're not "tactical" but I like them a lot more than most other slings I've tried.
