Mega Rad Gun Thread

Save up a bit more and find yourself a pre-1970s pinned and recessed model. Much higher quality than the modern stuff.

I love them personally but for sure are better .44s being made currently for around the same costs as these.

pre-1988 Model 29's are not suited for .44 magnum cartridges and will go out of time quickly. the pins will shear in the frame, and the barrels had a life span of 5,000 rounds due to forcing cone erosion.

I don't know about the barrels but I've put 2000+ rounds through my 29-2 made in the 70s and it's alright. The cylinder is definitely not as tight as when I first got it. I have parts from Power Custom to resolve that later when necessary. If one wants a pinned and recessed pre-lock 29, I don't think they need to be so cautious as to not run magnum loads in them. Even if it's actually 5000 rounds before a barrel replacement is needed, trust me, that is a fuck ton of magnum rounds to shoot.

All kinda stuff about SxS shotguns

What are some opinions on who makes a good SxS 12 gauge these days?

definitely want to get into steel targets sometime soon.

Worth it. Not as expensive or hard to find as when I started accumulating them in '21.

Inert gas asphyxiation aka being put in a room full of nothing but nitrogen is the ideal method of execution

What about a huge dose of insulin? Cheap and I guarantee it'll work.

this lady was formative in sparking my interest in guns.

Like others have noted, I learned about the CZ 75 from her and goddamn am I a CZ fag now.

What's there to know about before buying a handheld shot timer?

I see them in videos and they're square and go beep sometimes, but don't know anything about brands, models etc.

Thanks.

Shooters Global. Either the second gen Timer or the Go are legit. Not cheap but worth every cent.

Had to travel abroad for a bit. Missed you all.

Was watching some guy test 9mm bear loads and lmao

First off:
9mm "Bear Loads" lol, lmao even.

Of course a sigger would be scammed by such a thing, lmao.

Use Loctite next time, champ.

Oh lolz.
Shooting actual bears with a 9mm.
LMAO.
I thought it was as a video review of some old brown/silver bear steel case ammo at first glance.

I was morbidly curious about bears and now YouTube is recommending bear defense videos to me. Also it's a shame the M&P in 10mm seems to still have issues

Sig doubles down

One gripe not brought up enough about Sig's guns is their mag prices. Comparing Sig magazine prices to other major brands it's laughable. $45 for a standard capacity mag? How about you kill yourself Mr. Cohen. That's more than even H&K and Walther charge ffs.
Support the chamber on your high ass bore axis jeet gun Mr. Cohen. Don't let the sear slip due to tolerance stacking from jeet sourced parts. Add a glock style trigger safety. It's that easy.

That actually is crazy for such a prolific gun, I assume it's cause they are basically selling them at near cost and this is how they are making their money back.

Yeah p365 mags are crazy expensive and it's probably the most popular carry gun

Remember when the SIG Sauer brand meant something was high quality? LOL
People like to rag on Glock for making the same pistol over and over again, but at least it saves them the embarrassment of ever having to triple down on damage control like this.

The idea that a manufacturer needs to put up p320truth.com is really that all needs to be said. The one thing a duty sidearm needs to be is reliable without question. The m9 can do it, glocks can do it. You don't have beretta and glock making truther websites. It's over for them when it comes to their name meaning quality. People STILL talk about the m9 frame cracking a couple times 30 years ago. Imagine how long this will live.

Brezhnev liked to hunt wild boars with a Colt Single action army that Chuck Connors "the rifleman" gave him as a gift on a diplomatic visit in the 1960s.
you can see it here:

also the double rifle is almost certainly of East german origin. I have a very similar gun (a shotgun however) that was made in the 1960s by the East German gun makers guild BUHAG which included names like Merkel, Simson and Sauer.

Beretta 84 showed up, and while PSA classifies it as VG, I'd say it's more "good". Nice bright bore and the functional bits are great though. Here it is with some of my other metal-framed DA/SA stuff:

View attachment 7059138

Awesome. My local range has a very gently used Beretta 80X.

Also, I see a CZ-75b..... I'll be getting a SP-01 soon enough.

Kalashnikov Concern TR-4, It's a new generation AKV-521 style gun but cheaper and easier to produce and without an extension of the monolithic top rail to the top portion of the handguard

That AK TR-4 is probably the next logical evolutionary step in the Ak family.

Ranger LAMG's





High Standard Model 10 and a Spas-12 in Myanmar

Rangers using the Stoner lmg aka KAC LMG is awesome.

Why do Burmese rebels get SPAS-12 and I don't

Awesome and BASED.

one of the agencies i service has around 1200 P320s in inventory and other than doing the initial drop trigger fix, there hasn't been any accidental or negligent discharges due to dropping the pistol, even at weird angles. i have had weirdness in other ways, just not dangerous ones like an unintended discharge. i'm not saying people on youtube or whatever are wrong, and there is evidence by others floating around out there too, but i like to think my sample size is decent over the period of time (about 2-1/2 years, although some still hang onto their P226 since it was a gradual roll-out) is representative.

i wonder what's different with our agency vs others?

Your agency probably has people that aren't retarded, aren't morbidly obese and have holsters that fit the pistol.

95-99% of "my gun just went off" stories are people being retarded and pull the trigger by accident or negligence.

Funny you mention Indian injection molding, their previous rifle, the INSAS, allegedly had plastic magazines and furniture that was poor quality to the point where most of their soldiers hated the firearm. They switched to a licensed copy of the AK-103 I believe, which probably isn't going to be worse.

I'm not huge on pistols myself, I'm more of a rifle guy, but I'm not planning on purchasing a P320 anyway.

The Indian army then went with a dual procurement strategy. SIG 716i rifles aka AR-10s and locally made AK-103s with a few little updates.


Unlike many here I actually know someone in the Indian military who has used all three.

He said, roughly "INSAS was not great, shitty furniture and was weird. SIG AR is awesome. Gets back to the 7.62 NATO round. AK-103 is an AK with polymer furniture. A ok."

also whats a good recommendation for LPVO optic I was thinking trijicon 1-6

That's fine. Or a DELTA Stryker.

Idk why the embeds not working

Anyone heard credible rumors of any company working on a Flux Raider type chassis for the Ruger RXM?

Yes. Flux indicated in some comments on a couple YouTube videos that they're looking into making a Raider based on the RXM's FCI.

My issue with Glock is they make something different then never release it to the public. Like the rotating barrel Glock they made for a German police department. I genuinely wonder what Glock engineers do all day. I've really wanted a 10mm Glock 40 long slide lately. I thought about how neat it would be with a rotating barrel instead of the Browning action. I guess there's always the P40L from grand power. I'd like to try one. Grand power has been interesting to me but nobody carries them locally I've seen. They basically all use rotating barrels like the PX4

 

[Samhain]

My issue with Glock is they make something different then never release it to the public.

That's because Glock is like pretty much every other European firearms manufacturer. They only care about military and LE contracts. Selling to regular citizens isn't a priority. Yes, they will sell to you, and even offer good customer support, but they don't really care about what regular citizens want.

An American company really needs to crank out a high quality Glock clone that costs no more than an actual Glock. No one's done it yet. The Shadow Systems pistols are unreliable and cost more than they should. The PSA Dagger is even less reliable than the Shadow Systems stuff. Every other company makes "gucci" Glock clones. Ruger and Magpul's RXM seems promising, but time will tell.
