Speaking of, PSA still has a bunch of Beretta 84s. You should get a couple.

That's exactly what she has, the 380 beretta is just colloquially called the Cheetah if I recall.. I know they have that new reissue one. Holy shit, they're cheap. Maybe I buy her a couple and she can dual wield.
Fun fact, the Cheetah's claim to fame is being the gun Trinity uses in the first Matrix. Especially visible during the "Dodge this." rooftop scene. The reason they used it is that Carrie Ann Moss was supposed to be holding a standard M9, but because she's tiny, the gun looked like a fucking Desert Eagle in her hands. So they switched it to the Cheetah, since it's just a mini M9.

sarco still has some good looking jericho 941 FS (the semi-compact) in 9mm with a 16 round magazine for $400. while it's certainly heavier and bulkier than some might like, it'll certainly be a good 9mm handgun for people that are recoil sensitive and has a very good aftermarket for parts or instruction. magazines are interchangeable with CZ 75 magazines for the most part.

Sarco is what's up. If anyone sees something in stock and doesn't mind a little wait. It's an hour to me and we can talk about setting up, I know them more than I should, so if you're looking at surp they probably will let me finger fuck or hand pick outta a box for you all.

So what you’re saying is I should buy an mp5

if you're thinking about getting an MP5 it's probably a good idea

 

[SHIGGSHOGG]

Sarco was the only place selling barrel blanks for a reasonable price last week, as Green Mountain is OOS on their important stuff and everybody else wants fucking $400 for a motherfucking .22 barrel.
GM needs to get their shit rolling god damn

Thread tax: I found out one can ship themselves packages to a hotel they're staying at. In fact, I found out that's quite common. So that's how I'm getting my ammo to myself when I travel for training classes or matches that need 4-digit+ round counts

I picked this little tidbit up from Alton Brown. Seriously - UPS or FedEx are far less likely to lose your shit than any fucking airline and with the costs for baggage, it's likely to not even add much to the cost of the trip.

 

[Kheapathic]

Bought a P2000, it was on sale for Glock prices; felt too good to pass up since the HK Tax was removed... and holy shit are HK serial numbers long.

 

[Samhain]

If I can teach a 15-year-old girl to shoot a Glock 19 well enough, anyone should be able to teach their grown ass wife too. Carrying it is another thing, since women have their bodies and fashion style to take into consideration. They might have to step down to pistol that's a bit slimmer/smaller. Stuff like the PHLster Enigma is worth looking into. YouTube channels like She Equips Herself and Tessa Booth are good resources for women who want to carry.

Absolutely great resources there. One of the best parts about being a dude is that you can consider fashion to be optional - I do the graphic tee under an unbuttoned work shirt (and/or additional layers if it gets cold) thing, which I think might be the undeclared uniform for people that carry regularly.

Has there been any new guns in .30 super carry or is it basically dead? I'll admit I find it cool in terms of ammo, you're able to stack up a lot of it, but it just doesn't seem much is chambered in it

 

[BikeLock]

I'm waiting on something else other than a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 chambered in it before I get too excited, but the round is interesting, as it seems that you're getting 9mm performance out of a round that sort of fits in a .380 micro, which means that you can carry like 17 of them in a micro 9, which IS nice.

Bought a P2000, it was on sale for Glock prices; felt too good to pass up since the HK Tax was removed... and holy shit are HK serial numbers long.

You can expand those 13 round 9mm magazines to 15 if you use the magazine follower and baseplate retainer in this kit.
P30/VP9 15 to 17rnd conversion kit.

And while you're there, pick up an HK45C extended magazine release, too.

Other than the Nighthawk Custom President and GRP, M&P Shield Plus and Shield EZ and a Hi-Point 3095 carbine, there doesn't appear to be any other offerings.

Not that I'm aware of, I'm not really sure it'll be going anywhere either......

In my situation it wouldn't be that practical because of mag restrictions as a shield mag in a G43X meets that, and companies only seem to be rechambering older guns. A single or 1.5 stack in 30 super with steel mags would be awesome, but I just don't see that happening in the American market.
People will say stuff like "size of .380 performance of 9", or "11.5 is basically 13.7" but in reality it's not and that's a fake and gay thing to say.
The idea is good but I see no reason to switch over for what it has to offer even in a situation with larger magazines.

What's most important is it needs to be easy for her to use. Where is she defending herself? Is this for the home? Concealed carry? If it's just for home get her an S&W M&P EZ in 9mm, that's the quintessential wife/gf/mother gun and it has that title for a very good reason.

Don't fall for the "we took this gun and made it pink" marketing. Those guns aren't for women, they're for men buying guns for women. What matters most for your fiance is a gun that works for her in the role she wants, and that it's easy to use, especially if she is a firearm novice which is the impression I get. Unless you're trying to surprise her, take her to a good-sized gun store with a wide selection (or a gun show) and let her get her hands on a number of different guns.

I understand it's part of the design they copied, but I wish these things didn't have the grip safety. Not a big issue if you actually shoot, but I've seen a few new shooters fail to depress it, enough to avoid recommending it to family/friends I know won't shoot more than a few times a year.

Does the grip safety on that have a particularly strong spring? I just don't see how you could have a reasonable grip on a firearm and not depress it.

The grip safety on mine is barely noticable.
It's about the wimpiest spring you can imagine.
You pretty much have to actively try and NOT engage the safety.

Not a strong spring problem. Some people struggle to put their hand in the right place and it doesn't have a very tactile on/off feel imo. Overall not a problem for people who practice. I just see them get pushed on new shooters as the default 'poor hand strength' option when there's some drawbacks to the design. And those are the people who have problems consistently depressing it.

I'm picking up a pdp f series for myself. Might recommend one of those if it performs well.

As far as I know Hi-point was the most recent manufacturer to release a gun in .30SC and it was one of their carbines (which I believe makes them the only manufacturer and probably the only people on earth to have ever made a .30SC Carbine besides maybe Federal themselves or some whacko bubba gunsmif)

There's this guy in Wyoming, His name is Gary Hughes and he's a Rancher and SOT/FFL. He uses a Stg-44 as one of his ranch rifles

But uh, what's that, what's goin' on there buddy?

Two Leader Kits and something you don't see all that often on either side of the current hostilities. A clip on (or rather clamp on) thermal. Usually it's either a dedicated unit or nothing with the exception of Ukr. SF who I would assume have SkeetIR's and VooDoo-S's.

A few notes
1. This is a Post 2021 model meaning the feed tray that flips to the 3 o' clock instead of the 12
2. First time I've seen one without a buffer tube much less an MCX Stock

I don't know how well moving the gas tube forward and back is going to play

I would like to get a slimmer gun that I can mount a Trijicon red dot to. I'm currently leaning towards an M&P Shield Plus OR, but it doesn't seem to support Trijicon optics.

I have a gen 3 Glock 26 that I pocket carry. I don't mind the Glock but I prefer the looks of the M&P series and I'm curious about switching platforms. I'm thinking Trijicon because of their reliability compared to Holosun, but maybe I'm missing another option.

What are your thoughts? Am I being retarded and should just get a Glock 43x MOS? Is pocket carry with a red dot a mistaken idea? Should I just buy more ammo instead?
