i honestly kind of like the way those look. id love to get one of the carbines in .380 in that color if it were compatible with p365 mags.

I've been looking for a 9mm carbine, and while I'm probably going to end up with some kind of CZ Scorpion variant, I found this and thought it was pretty cool.

Ruger PC Carbine

Has takedown capability on all models, easy ambi switchable controls, and adapters for multiple popular mag types.

I had the opportunity to shoot both the Ruger and a Scorpion a few weeks back, put about 50 rounds through each, and far and away preferred the Ruger over the Scorpion. Ergonomics, trigger and just overall feel was just nicer.

Really the only thing that would make the Ruger PC better is having a version of it in 7.62x25mm. It's practically begging for it.

I have one of these, but I prefer my Kel-Tec Sub2000 Gen 3. It’s a lot lighter, smaller, both take Glock mags, stays in one piece when collapsed, and with the Gen 3 Kel-Tec made the barrel also rotate 90° to collapse (which they should have done from the beginning). It’s my current home defense gun, just waiting to get a can for it.

There is a guy who for some time now has been working on making a 5.56 P90 and has recently released CAD renderings of the necessary modifications to an AR BCG one would need to do to function with this design (red areas represent areas that need to either be chopped or milled, notice how the bolt carrier is much shorter)



Interestingly, in the comments of the post the official KAK industry account (KAK are very friendly to the 3D2A Movement) are offering that if the designer can get all the nitty gritty details worked out they would be willing to sell pre-modified bolts on their site as parts kits.

Have seen people modding those, but it's the same issue that modding an original Hi-Power has where it's a ton for custom work. Also I don't really like the fact that Springfield just gets them as 80% guns from Turkey so that they can technically say "made in America" when they do the final milling/finishing. I don't really care about keeping an original Browning Hi-Power original, and it's not like it's that hard to find with one with messed up finish. It's just that I might as well look at some modern options before modding the bajeezus out of a 40 year old gat when it's gonna end up costing about the same.

In that case.... A used CZ-75b all damn day and/or a used Hi Power

For some reason the CZ-75b is unusually cheap used as they're older style pistols and not fucking polymer Glocks so yeah.....

Huge amounts you can do with one, from the grip to the trigger guts to the mags to the hammer to the sights.

I'm TRYING not to get on GB right now and get one..... That and a SP-01 for a range toy

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

Thanks for reminding me to shoot my SP-01 Shadow more. It's been all Tokarev and Glock lately. Tempted to go get an optics cut on the slide and slap a red dot on. Any recommendations for a good pistol red dot?

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Gonna be picking up a new toy today, what goods a 10 mil when your other hand isn't filled with another 10 mil pic to come later.

The Shadow is probably the best ootb USPSA / IDPA / Comp gun for the cash in the USA.

Everyone is frothy for 2011s these days but those are either ridiculously expensive (COUGH STACATTO and it's Platypus competitor) or are fussy and require post purchase hand fitting to really work well.

Yeah, the Staccatos are nice but can't justify the cost. Think I'll get an RMR cut on my Shadow, will start with a Holosun 507 or something.

 

[The Dude]

@Falcos_Commisar used to have a CZ SP-01 Tactical years ago. Really liked it a lot. Sweet shooter, and while heavy, I always found the grips on it fairly trim.

Buddy of mine has a Springfield SA-35 and has had nothing but reliability problems with it. He's sent it back to Springfield and they basically did the same thing they did to me when I had my M1A Stainless Loaded and it wouldn't run: sent it back a few weeks later with a note that says "It runs just fine." He's had to spend almost as much as he paid for the damn thing in parts and gunsmithing fees to get it to run reliably. I'm completely soured on Springfield and will never own another product from them. Anyone who wants a High Power would be best served finding a nice used one made by FN or Browning.

 

[DocAwe]

Fuck SA, anything "good" they sell probably originated from Croatia.
My old man has a P35 style pistol, I think it was made in Hungary?
I don't remember.
The newish ones made in Turkey are supposed to be decent.

Their 1911s are fine. Not amazing, not bad, Fine.

They actually have them in stock too unlike a few other makers.

So those are a ok by me.

I'd rather not buy a Rock Island (iffy QC) or a Tisas (Turkish 1911?!?!?)

It seems that 1911s are either entry level "it's ok, it may or may not run well" to "$1200 MINIMUM BUY IN PAL" with very little in between.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

$1200 MINIMUM BUY IN PAL

$1200 has long since been considered to be "mid-tier" or even entry level by retards. Think Sig(Mid-tier) or Magnum Research(entry level).
Dan Wesson, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat etc. is considered the minimum for ensured reliability. Not my opinion but that of the boomers and trust fund babies.

I picked up a Colt Competition Model several years back for under a grand and experienced zero malfunctions. 2hrs after picking it up from the FFL, drove to the range and put 500rds of hard ball and 100rd of Federal HST. Full disclosure - it's never had anything besides Wilson Combat mags and the OEM are to this day collecting dust in a sock drawer.

Yeah it's been agreed by people who aren't dumb that proper magazines make or break even the cheapest 1911. Most of the autism into fitting and laser cutting or whatever is superfluous detail.
Even a good ol' rattletrap works just fine.

I think that's mostly correct. There's some decent production stuff out there from $1200-1800 (Dan Wesson, a few Springfields, a few S&W, Bul Armory). I heard the Ronin line from Springfield is okay. I bet if one could buy one of those from the mid-$700s they'd be a good base for a bit of customization. This assumes they work well out of the box.

After that it seems that if one wants a good 1911, it's either the high end production stuff like Les Baer and Staccato or the "custom-lite" pieces from Cabot, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, etc.

I bet that with the ever decreasing value of the dollar and the ever increasing value of skilled craftsmanship, these things are only going to go up in cost. I like a nice 1911 as much as the next guy, but if you're seriously considering buying one, make sure you really evaluate its worth to you.

I learned that firsthand paying a whole lot of money for a very nice Infinity that had to go back to the factory pretty quick for warranty work and whose every single magazine required some end-user tuning to work reliably. I barely shoot the thing now.

For 1911s (at least traditional ones) Dan Wesson is my benchmark. I've owned a few others, including Smith & Wesson, ParaOrd, and Colt, and the DW is far and away the better gun IMHO. If I were going to get another 1911 I'd be looking at least a DW Valor, if not a more premium pistol like an Ed Brown, Wilson, Les Baer, or Nighthawk. I'm very much a quality over quantity kind of guy when it comes to firearms, and I see 1911s as a gun one should not go cheap on. I admit, I'm a total gun snob.

I am strongly considering getting a 10/22 Takedown in the not too distant future, with threaded barrel for a suppressor and binary trigger. Just something totally fun that the family and I can blast away with all we want, but that can be broken down into a nice compact package for camping and such.
