If you're shooting 100-200 twice a month and can't be a great shooter you're doing something incredibly wrong.

these are people that just shoot trash in the back yard. pretty common here in the south. it doesn't make a good shooter. its just for fun to them, which is fine.

The average gun owner who doesn’t train is not prepared for a real gunfight regardless of what they carry. Luckily for them statistically just pulling the gun out will solve most problems, shooting at and/or wounding someone is usually effective, but there are outliers from those situations where you will have to cause a physical stop on an attacker and not shoot innocent bystanders.

Statistics are cold comfort when your case is the exception.

Statistics

Statistics are for retards, worry about yourself. If you practice and train you'll be okay. If you say you do and don't you're probably going to shoot off your kneecap at the first sign of trouble and none of us will care.

Just picked up a $150 mossberg 500 with a vent rib - anyone want me to make a series of posts documenting my process of turning it from a sport gun to a home defense gun? I think I can get the entire project done for ~$500.

is the process "shoot a home invader with it"

The Glonk grip angle comes from the fact that Gaston was not a gun guy. He made a fist, pointed (with his knuckle), and then angled his fist until the top of his fist was level with his arm, which, while fairly natural, gives you both the Glonk grip angle, and the Luger grip angle, which is also copied by the Woodsman, and the MKII.

Everyone else who has actually held a pistol puts their arm out, and then points with their finger, which may not be as biologically ergonomic as it is intuitive. The M1911A1 had a shorter trigger, and an angle grip housing vs straight, which actually changes the grip angle a little bit closer to the Glock/Luger imho, though obviously not as extreme. I don't even think you can buy a modern 1911 with the old angled housing unless its set up as a "mil spec" as everyone seems to like the straight one in modern configurations.

We could always "RETVRN TO TRADITION" and try to bring back the broomhandle Mauser, those are pretty neat, like a turn of the century steam punk Tec 9.

It's sadly just an airsoft pistol, but I would legit jump on it if someone were to make a real version. Except, I'd want mine in either black or titanium Ceracoat.

Speaking of C96s, I'm surprised no one's ever, at least to my knowledge, used that form factor for a magnum cartridge. One of the big limiting factors with magnum handgun cartridges is just being able to get your hand around the grip. With the magwell and grip separate, you could put basically anything in it. It'd be wildly impractical for anything but maybe hunting, but the Desert Eagle sells pretty well, despite being one of the dumbest handguns ever conceived.

I've seen of Glocks up close (i.e. interacting/working with cops) those things look pretty big and I can't imagine I'd find them wieldy. I could be wrong, I suppose.

I was asking more as a thought exercise for my inner engineer than because I'm a gun collector or anything.

You'd be surprised at how much more "wieldy" a heavier handgun is. If all else is equal (action type and caliber), a heavier gun with a thicker grip will feel less "snappy" in the hand. There are always limits (i.e. don't pick up a 4lb handgun), but a Glock 19 is always a good starting handgun due to it being "right in the middle" of weight ans size - it can be concealed with a little effort, can be outfitted for HD, etc. It'll also let you figure out how you'd like to specialize with your next gun: for example, I like mine, but now I really want something like the Bodyguard 2.0 for dedicated concealed carry.

With the magwell and grip separate, you could put basically anything in it.

I was about to argue that revolvers already offer the magazine in front of trigger solution, but I suppose a box magazine could hold more rounds without being heavier than a cylinder. The biggest problem likely is the action; simple blowback is out of the question so you'd need a gas port or some novel recoil mechanism.

I carry an older 380 Beretta 80s series IWB with an Alien Gear holster. I've only recently started carrying with a belt and have noticed that the safety can sometimes be turned off as it rubs against my body. Normally I carry at around 2 o'clock. Anyone else have something similar happen while carrying? I'd prefer to not have to occasionally check whether or not my safety is engaged while I'm out and about.

Aren't C96s short-recoil? The Desert Eagle's gas system might work, or you could go more cursed and make it roller-delayed or flapper locked.

Cyberpunk 2077 had a lot of stupid guns but the Malorian arms 3516 works exactly how you describe. seems fairly realistic too in that it's probably possible for this gun to actually work. in game its a 14mm.

Fine, I forgot short recoil works up to 10mm. I haven't studied other action types enough to make any assumptions about their functionality.

At least you didn't suggest a gun from a Bethesda title...

A technical milestone may have been achieved (in at least a limited capacity). The first DIY (pseudo) delayed blowback system.
Below is a MAC bolt based DIY PCC that incorporates a detent based delaying system designed by dev DanishBulldog.
Essentially there are two set screws with integrated ball detents that sit rearwards of the bolt, rearward movement is slightly retarded (heh) by the force neccessary to depress the detents. Nexus firearms uses a similar system for a Scorpion upper they sell
He has dubbed it "The Holdup"

I did kind of describe an AR-18 pistol, didn't I?

The AR-15 has a very similar layout, but it would have to be downscaled a tiny bit to be wieldy. I've fired carbines one-handed so it's not too farfetched of a comparison.
