Open carry is one of those things I support on principle, but would never actually do unless I'm out innawoods.
Same. I open carry at home, and occasionally in the winter when I'm out and about, but whatever hoodie or coat I'd be wearing makes it a little difficult to see. If anyone's ever noticed, they didn't say anything.
 
I badly want a tisas 1911a1. The new updated ones that are basically 1:1 repros with the correct ejection port. forged frames too. To go with my Garand. Othais from c&r vouches them hardcore so it's enough for me to think it's worth the $300-350. I've seen cheap 1911s run better than expensive ones.
Yep, they're well made now and not junk. Finally.
I disagree with your recommendation specifically for the RIA 1911. Now these days the Turkish ones can be found for the same price but with better metallurgy.

Many of the long-term RIA owners I know would keep having their pistols shed parts, mainly with external controls like the grip safety, thumb safety, and slide release break. Another one I knew had a full length tactical 45 (straight mainspring housing, Novak type sights, guide rod) not function and kept jamming against a Norinco and modern Colt (2010s era pre-CZ) that used the same ammo and magazines just fine.
A well made and QC'd Turkish guns excellent.
Aero's been shitting the bed for the past 5 years now, with their QC just getting worse and worse. I only ever bought their receivers anyway, but I now tell people to look elsewhere for complete uppers/lowers, and to look over any parts purchased from them carefully.
Sigh, they were my first build about 7 years ago.

Sad to see how far they've fallen.
This is not a bad suggestion but do keep in mind when you start changing spring forces in semi-automatic weapons, you need to test all the configurations of the weapon you want to use it in for reliability. Also be aware that some other aspect of the weapon's function will be different going forward. This is not automatically a bad thing, just an FYI
Yep. If for whatever reason you can't handle a subcompact 9mm, try a .380
The list of copes is long though, statements like, "the grip angle makes it unshootable
It does though. Glock ergos are shit

USPSA has updated their rules to be more inclusive to faggots.

Botkin is not happy
Lol, as I suspected
I came back to send these pics to someone but bro wtf is going on with your discord? Are you whoring out or something?
He's probably gooning like crazy

@WelperHelper99
As for USA Daewoo.... I HAVE ZERO Faith that even the basic K2 clone will be $1200 MSRP. I'm guessing $1500 easily and the modern Mlok and PIC rail version is $2000 easy.

They are going to extract as much cash from the Americans as they possibly can.

I'm too paranoid to leave a handgun in the car unless I absolutely have to. Idk why anyone would
1) because my state is cucked and criminalized open/concealed carry in a lot of places
2) because my state is cucked and criminalized open/concealed carry in a lot of places which means it's overrun with aspiring astronauts committing violent crime because they face less deterrence from law abiding gun owners who aren't allowed to carry
3) because I appendix carry and pocket carry and it's unrealistic to draw either of those when you're seated in a vehicle
4) because the one I'm most proficient with is too large to effectively cc
5) because I have enough that I can

Sometimes I have to go places I can't carry and then I lock all three in the glovebox and forget to take them back out but that would be true even if I just carried one.

I really wish I didn't have family to take care of in this gay retarded state.

So, I know the YouTube operator fast speed meta is Appendix, but strong side is just fine and you can carry some big shit and have no issue sitting. Same issue drawing from a car however . But yeah post gun model. Vedder light tuck is a good strong side holster. Been holding up for years for me

Which one is that? If you don't wish to specify please name something with a comparable size.
A little larger than a glock 19

Appendix is strictly to minimize the chance of anyone taking it off me. The size factor is mostly about concealment.

Training issue. Seatbelt goes behind the gun on your belly under the shirt.
Yeah or you can just keep one handy and eliminate the issue.

I gotta level with you. The chances of that happening are so low. But the advantage of actually carrying the gun you're most proficient in and enjoy shooting to train is so much higher. Wear Tall shirts so when you bend over it doesn't ride up and just generally dress around strong side you'll be fine. You can even tuck your shirt in with the vedder light tuck. I carried at work doing that for a while with a G19 sized gun.

IMO once you get past the argument of “muh rights” open carry is pointless.

99% of open carriers are not using lvl 2-3 retention holsters and have received exactly zero training on weapon retention.

Most are opting to open carry not seeking a tactical advantage but to make people they don’t like politically uncomfortable.
 
I leave my Beretta Nano in my car because i dont care if someone steals it.
Fair. It's probably not doing any good to whomever steals it, either.

Open carry is retarded outside of a handful of scenarios that don't apply to ninety-nine percent of the population, but I also can't really justify banning it ideologically. It's in this bizarre category of, "Things I think you should be allowed to do, even if I think you shouldn't do them."
 
Thread bros, I don't want to shit up the thread with arguments on tactics so I'm putting this out here as a suggestion:

I wouldn't worry too much about how best to draw a pistol while seated in your vehicle unless someone has actually entered your vehicle and is punching you in the face/attempting to kill you somehow. If you can see a threat coming and you're concerned they have ill intentions, use your vehicle (a much deadlier weapon than any pistol in existence) to extricate yourself from the situation. If you're ambushed but your opponents haven't quickly made egress into your vehicle, use your vehicle to extricate yourself. Run people over and/or ram their vehicles if you need to. Yes, your airbags will deploy but it's not going to make driving impossible.

If you start taking gunfire while in a vehicle either drive the fuck away ASAP or exit the vehicle for a better position. To sit in a vehicle trying to return fire is an enormous mistake.

All that stated, I'll also say I dislike the idea of leaving firearms in one's vehicle unless the vehicle has been outfitted with some sort of safe or lockbox. We're all adults here so do as you like but that's my opinion on that.

The actual application for open carry is legal defense.

Karen can’t (successfully) call the police on you if you accidentally tuck your shirt in behind your holster.

It also let people in certain states carry swords around, which was funny.
