Mega Rad Gun Thread

I'm about to pick up an LE trade in USP in fotay.

$600 for a lightly used example of the best gun to buy in .40 S&W is a great deal, imho.

I've heard those are the best pistols made for .40. Let us know what you think when you get it.

Best American striker fired pistol on the market

Agreed 100%. Not any sort of requirement with their new factory fire control parts but with Apex Tactical parts they're even better.

 

[Autistic Gunspergings]

Kind of a low bar, imho.

Im offended because you're right, lmao.
but to be fair, they also stand on their own very well when compared to glocks.

watching election returns, Loading a few hundo rounds of .38spl on the dillon and smoking one of my favorite pipes with C&D autumn evening. perfect night.

I didn't necessarily mean it as a slight, so much as the M&P is just that much better than anything that Ruger, Remington, or anyone else who is an American brand could muster without slapping their name on an import from Eastern Europe instead (I'm looking at you, Springfield Armory).

With that being said, the Ruger SR9 isn't "terrible" so much as "not chosen" over most of its much more popular choice of the M&P, which Smith and Wesson was wise to get them adopted by several police agencies, which no other "American" striker gun has even attempted, iirc.

As far as the XDerp series of pistols is concerned, I would rather own a version that is more honest and does not have "Springfield Armory" anywhere on the gun.

feels like ruger gave up on the police market when glock replaced revolvers. they were BIG in the LE world in the 70s-late 90s. their service-six was used by agencies nationwide from the FBI to the department of defense.

IIRC their last big push for LE contracts was with the GP100.

XDerp series of pistols

Those are Croation, so not considered in the running for "American" pistol

 

[Akran]

I am fairly certain the webley I bought just had an ungodly amount of lead spalling, I will clean it and take another look when clearer

 

[PFM]

My sweat destroys SW coatings, but it destroys Glock coatings as well.

Odd. I work every day in the Arizona sun with a Glock appendix and have no coating issues. Maybe I'm using a better holster?

some people's sweat is just caustic. it is what it is. mine's not so i can carry blued guns with no problems but my dad's will fucking melt a finish.

imho "American" firearms that are quite good are S&W 3rd and 4th gen automatics, the AR and derivatives, and various pump shotguns, lever action rifles, and revolvers of all kinds. few countries can hit the price/performance ratios of these weapons without massive subsidies for state customers rather than general consumption.

I didn't like my M&P enough to keep it, but I'm never going to get rid of the NIB 5946 found at a local store around '20. It actually has a really nice DAO trigger.

I need to finger fuck a USP, never have because the USP has always been out of my price range. Do tell though, why is the USP the best 40?

Smith has always been good at getting police contracts, because their shit works. In Asia they're STILL getting police contracts for REVOLVERS. Korea especially loves their police wheelguns, they have stainless ones.

I'll even add a few semi auto shotguns in there, the Mossberg 940 is just fine for under $1k and the Remington SX series is fine.

Until the USP, most pistols in .40 Smith and Wesson were just a punched out version of a 9mm pistol. The USP was designed around the .40, which is why they're such tanks.

 

[Bassomatic]

USP are real nice id like an elite one day so I get 99.5% solid snek gun with out May may mark up.

Also Mrs basso has a good sense of humor in regards to election " we can take the black tips out now right?"

Adorable. I think I'm going to not spray her with ice water in her cuck cage tonight.

 

[shinto minto]

Any american semi auto shotguns that support mini shells without modification? Figured something like that may be nice to use for home defense but the Mossberg 590s seems like a fine option for pump too.

 

[Total Annihilation]

I’m contemplating purchasing my dream .45 caliber handgun, specifically the FNX-45 Tactical. I’d appreciate general thoughts on it.
As a left-handed shooter, I find the ergonomics of the FNX-45 Tac particularly appealing; and a high cap 45 looks cool.
However, the counter to that: I currently have an XDM in 10mm that somewhat satisfies that need. Are there any other options to consider in 10mm or 45mm?

As the owner of a FNX Tactical I refuse to talk you out of it.

I would say don’t get a shotgun and get a reliable semi auto rifle like an AR 15

Hoping with trump now black powder supplies can actually become available again
