I dunno, but I am considering getting a collapsible carbine stock. Specifically one of these https://www.primaryarms.com/strike-industries-pdw-stock-black

First of all ewwww.

Second, aren’t you worried about getting the correct mass and spring with that proprietary setup? Many more options for a standard carbine tube, or A5. Does your gun have a rifle length buffer and spring, or is there a spacer and shorter buffer and spring?

Well that's just like, your opinion, man.

Honestly, I hadn't even thought of that. I know it has a rifle length H buffer, and I am pretty sure its just a standard A2 stock based on dimensions. I'll dig more into it when I get home.

rifle length H buffer

what is a "rifle length H buffer"? the standard AR-10 buffer is 5.4oz and a bit over 5-1/4" long, which is a tad heavier but slightly shorter than the 5.2oz 5-7/8" long standard AR-15 rifle buffer. the "H" nomenclature isn't really used for AR-10/LR-308 rifles; it was a thing for AR-15 carbines to moderate the action when combined with specific gas port sizes or with a suppressor. an H (or H1 "heavy" carbine buffer for the AR-15 is 3.8oz, which is a little too heavy/long for a carbine LR-308 unless you have a short action spring (which is thicker gauge wire and fewer coils than an AR-15 spring).

i would have thought it would use the normal AR-10 buffer and spring rather than something unusual.

Forgot a comma. It's a rifle length tube with an H (or H1) buffer. I'd have to dig more into it to see what's going on inside, but I haven't had much of a chance.

I'm thinking instead of getting the SD40 2.0 right now, I might want a 22 Ruger Wrangler rn. Specifically this one:

Could afford it now, it's available, and I'd finally have a 22lr. I could just keep all the ammo and hardware I got for the SD40 2.0 for another time, it wouldn't go wasted. And i still have my 38 special snubbie for defense. I don't need the .40 cal NOW NOW NOW.

On the other end, It also feels impulsive. It's going to be there no matter what. And it's still just a single action 22 at the end of the day. A pretty one, but that's what it is. It'd be nice for practicing revolver shit without breaking out the 38, but I also have a lot of 38.

Really what do you guys think? Yes or no?

The cylinder doesn't swing out which makes it take ages to reload, and you have to be very careful to not drop the hammer on an empty cylinder or you'll peen it with the firing pin. The sights also blow.

I bought a wrangler years ago and it was fun for like 10 minutes and then sat on a shelf. Buy a semi auto .22 like a Ruger mark IV or a kel tec p17, you'll have more fun.

The "H" is for "Homonculus" and there's a little green creature with a bulbous head that lives in the tube and catches the BCG and throws it back at the barrel.

Again, it's just something I thought about. Honestly would probably be better off getting a 10/22 for a trainer/cheap plinker since they're similar in cost.

2. 38 special is too long for the enfields/webley .38 revolvers. they are all in .38 S&W

You are correct, I had 38 special on the brain for some reason

IMO .22 doesn’t even feel like shooting a real gun. The only reason I keep mine around is for my kids.

I consider .22lr a spicy pellet rifle, more or less, and deploy mine for such appropriate tasks as general pest management, and the occasional tin can if I need to check the zero.

A good gun to grab when you don't need a lot of gun, which is surprisingly often in a rural area.

If you want a SA .22 revolver, get a cheap and cheerful heritage Rough Rider.

If you find you really enjoy a SA .22, then save up get a Ruger Single Six

That doesn't change the fact that it sounds and feels like shooting an air gun.

.22 has its place. I killed a lot of grouse with a .22. To be fair I took a few with a .22 pellet pistol too, but it's easier with 22LR.

He got lucky he wasn't turned into bear shit.

From what I've read, SHE was lucky SHE wasn't turned into bear shit. She was an old granny.

I’m not saying it’s not useful, but it’s also not enjoyable for me personally.
