I haven’t shot a mk23, but I did own a usp45 and it was a pleasure to shoot. I can only imagine the mk23 is more so.

My favorite thing is to shoot 45 super out of the mark23, it's a legit hand cannon. Hardcast 45 super from Underwood or that ultimate defense solid copper projectile one.

MK23 and USPs are overbuilt. Ive heard of people doing similar with the USP 45s.
Ultimately too big of a gun for me to consider for concealed carry.

Yeah, not sure about the USP but the mk23 is one of the only guns that can just shoot 45 super stock

I don’t know much about 45 super or the long term effects of it on the longevity of a USP, but people claim they shoot it through stock guns and it can handle it.

Now you got me looking at Langdon modified USP 45s with optic cuts. Luckily for my wallet they are out of stock.

I've seen a couple of guys now who, after picking up a VP9 damn near refuse to touch any other handgun. I'm honestly both curious and a tad concerned.

I've put probably ~500 rounds through a friend's VP9 now and I just dont understand why people like it so much.
It shoots like a Glock with a marginally better trigger. it consistently fails to lock back on an empty mag when I use it, which isn't an issue with any other pistol I've used.
I'd chalk the malfunctions up to me, but even if it worked with zero malfunctions I'd still be convinced it was for people with more money than sense.

After watching the videos the manufacturer posted about this drop-in piece, I'm pretty impressed. Mil-spec triggers might require some modification, but it works with Geissele triggers just fine, and LaRue triggers only require you to shave down part of the drop-in. Depending on the triggers you have in your ARs, you might be able to buy just one or two of these and swap them between all your ARs. $238 a piece, according to their website.

The failure to lock back is you riding the slide stop.
The VP9 comes from the factory how I would like a striker gun to be. Good trigger, interchangeable grip panels, durable finish.
Coming from a Glock, the VP9 doesn’t get destroyed by my sweat, and I can make the grip bigger to fit my hands.
As far as cost they are very similar to Glock, and you can regularly find them used for $400-$500.

I've got a 29-2 with a 6.5" barrel. That thing is a chonker and I bet you the longer barrel on the model you're looking at doesn't help anything. I'm not trying to dissuade you or anything. When was this one manufactured? If it's an older model with the firing pin on the hammer, I'd recommend getting some snap caps for dry fire practice.
They're well made, sturdy weapons. I've put over 1200 rounds through mine since getting it in 2019 and only now is the cylinder a tiny bit looser. I bought some parts from Power Custom so I'm set for whenever something might need to be replaced.

I definitely like the way things are moving, but that thing is too damn expensive for what it is. Seeing his block of plastic he was using as a work rest, I certainly wouldn't play that much for a Delrin trigger piece. Cool thing, but drop it $100-150 and then I'd be interested. A spare leg thing would be nice too
Good on him for going old fashioned with payment/calling him, that should have been an option from the beginning with FRTs, and really any gun stuff.
The Hoffman Super Safety seems like a better option due to being selectable, stainless steel, and 1/3 the price to ¢15 even with fancy filament. Swapping the Regulator is fine and all, but it'd take only one more pin to just totally swap lowers. It also sounds like this thing isn't the most compatible, whereas the Hoffman seems much more versatile.

BRB, about to sell my kidney for Ruger's new 10mm pcc. Seriously though, sick.
It's for Level IV body armor. That's it. Big army is spooked about China outfitting entire battalions with the stuff, so they want a counter.

so this is the real life equivalent to the pulse gun from fallout new vegas? not quite as sexy or fun.
the pulse gun was an experimental weapons developed out of fear that the chinese would deploy large numbers of soldiers in heavy power armor.
if anime mormon is correct, that it is designed for level IV, then it is a gun made for null, he has mentioned his fear of a level IV armored tranny army breaking into his swamp.

Basically yeah. It's why they have a 80,000 PSI round with a steel base. Got to get that 7mm bullet going 3000+ FPS out of a 13 inch barrel somehow.

The point is that the US Military is stupid
Years ago I wrote a post in this very thread about how in my opinion, without specialized tungsten carbide penetrator ammunition, Military loadings of 6.8x51 with an "Enhanced Performance Round" style copper body and external steel penetrator probably can't penetrate body armor either at all or at any considerable distance.
And even if Big Army was able to mass issue tungsten carbide core ammunition (they can't and wouldn't) two things
1. It would be comparatively trivial to make armor that can resist said ammunition, especially at any "real" distance. Adept Armor advertises a 6.5-8lb plate that they claim offers protection against M993 at 3050fps and there is no reason besides cost that "near peer" forces could not copy this technology (it would be trivially easy to acquire one and ship it out of the country for analysis and reverse engineering)
2. Small arms do not win wars, this is not to say that having advanced small arms is stupid, but in the grand scheme of things, small arms really do not matter, for every GoPro video you see of a guy getting hosed down in a Donbass Trench 100 guys are turned into mist by nameless faceless Artillerymen.
So I found this fellow who had made his own Bullpup and it actually is quite an interesting design
-Dubbed the MBAR (Modular Bullpup Automatic Rifle)
-Two patents filed
-Polymer Lower, 7075 Upper
-Uses standard AR-15/10 bolts, barrels and cam pins.
-Modular magazine wells for STANAG, SR-25, AKM and AK-74 Mags
-Ambidextrous AR controls, Back up magazine and bolt release in the rear
-Downwards ejecting
-Not hammer fired but striker fired.
-F2000 "Breach cut" to allow access to the internals, think of it as a Jam door on ye olde Nerf Gun
-90 parts, 50% are COTS, 25% can be 3D Printed or Injection Moulded and 25% have to be machined
-Short Stroke piston with 3 setting adjustable gas block
-Aside from the recoil and piston spring, EVERY other spring is the same size, same goes for torx screws and roll pins.
-Magwell and trigger group will be open source designs
-Designer wants to license the design to an established manufacturer like DD, KAC or LMT
-Bolt is rotated 90 degrees and the cam is on the right side instead of on top
-OAL is about 30'' with an 18'' barrel
I have serious doubts this will ever make it into production, But I wish all the best towards this guy.
Continuing on the bullpup train
This guy, who was dormant for more than a year, has returned with an update and refined design as well as Jakl compatibility
ADS Assault Rifle
ADSh "Bars" bullpup by the guy who created the Gepard PDW, might also have been modified to be able to shoot underwater without issue?
Same guy also created the "Smerch" Design which has a bizzare seemingly mostly wooden construction (this was due to the creator at the time being a student at Tula Higher Artillery Engineering School and was a submission for the trial that eventually produced the AKS-74u)
Also made the "Shkval" design that was specially adapted for firing underwater
Many of you may be aware of the AK-74MB but are you aware of its creator Vitaly Vitalievich Boyarkin and his horrific Norwood?
or his AKS-74uB design? (Yes, Bullpup 74u)
Bullpup conversion from the Pre-SMO Luhansk People's Republic
PRSh machinegun, a a very special PK series bullpup conversion as it was created in collaboration with the Degtyaryov plant itself.
Pakistani police officer with FAMAS, what happened here is that a Talib took a FAMAS from a Frenchman, possibly sold it to another guy and said guy sold it to the Policeman.
Lastly Russian company Pufgun has created both disintegrating and non-disentegrating Polymer PKM Belts

The 29 has a ported barrel, just two small ones. I mainly want it for aesthetic reasons and I will be adding a scope to it. I have always wanted a scoped revolver, I think it will be fun

yeah, im no expert, but it does seem that being able to quickly and accurately mass artillery onto a target and having more and better drones than the other guy are more likely to be a deciding factor in modern war than small arms.
