Has there been any documented cases of P365's having uncommanded discharges

Nope. They both have FCUs but the p365 is more normal while the p320 is a more complex mess birthed from the p250. The p365 has had some issues in the past but not like the p320's.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

It's a ridiculous comparison. The M14 was a rifle designed to answer questions posed by the previous war, overly heavy with undersized 20 round magazines and unpleasant to use for warfighting due to its excessive recoil, whereas the M7....

the m14 was not overly heavy compared to rifles of the time nor was 20 round mags undersized (it was the norm) and the recoil was not excessive at all, it was the same amount of recoil infantry rifles had for ~60 years at that point. The M14 was objectively an improvement on the M1 Garand and a good all round rifle.

Has there been any documented cases of P365's having uncommanded discharges like their big brothers?

The p365 has had some issues in the past but not like the p320's.

The primary issue is the "shake awake trigger" due to striker failures which is also in a sort of ambiguous state as to whether or not it's been fixed. People have been recommending the Springfield Hellcat or M&P Shield 2.0 instead.

What striker issues have been reported after the first batch? I remember the 'primer smudging' problem but haven't heard or seen anything about it in years.

The build quality isn’t great. They rust very quickly from regular carry.

Yes and no.
A big selling point of the m14 (to congress) is that it could be made on Garand tooling. This obviously did not actually work, and the new tooling and production is one of the big failings of the m14 that everyone seems to forget. Receivers breaking off and that godawful flash hider being improperly mounted and causing zeroing issues are a large part amongst other problems of why the rifle is poorly regarded.

Italy however did manage to pull that off with their BM59, and in half the time as well, which should say something about the US government at the time.

While the m14 is better than the Garand, its a rifle that is one step in the past compared to its contemporaries, without any of the benefits that should have come with that. Its the worst of the battle rifles, by having none of the benefits of its more modern contemporaries, and none of the benefits of being an older based design either. There's a reason that people joke about the M1A only being bought by boomers.

I was mistaken, the hardened striker issue was rectified and in current guns probably no longer snap. The "shake awake trigger" is the trigger return spring failing(breaking) and either delaying the release of the striker or not allowing it to release the striker at all. The cope is now that the trigger return spring is a perishable part and I hope you keep tabs on your round count. Keep in mind that it's reported at ~10k rounds though some people haven't put 500 through and have experienced it so it's unpredictable.

 

[Back me up!]

Ever video I see of niggers posing with weapons their Dracos aren't stocked or even braced. You'd think the Feds would catch enough of them with Glock switches to have the same leverage.

Anyways, since all gun forums are cancer. Has there been any documented cases of P365's having uncommanded discharges like their big brothers?

If the ATF was a actual real agency instead of just finding ways to punish white people they would have a whole Instagram division that would do nothing but arrest black kids with glock switches. God knows the retards can't stop posting about it online.

I don’t care for the Hellcat or Shield - I like the ergonomics and aesthetics of my P365. I like not being shot in the dick even more. Reliability and finish on my P365 has been 100% zero complaints. Has there ever been a confirmed shake awake 365?

 

[WhoBusTank69]

Has there ever been a confirmed shake awake 365?

There's no worry about it going off without a trigger pull so you can rest easy, it's only when actively shooting and the spring breaks that issues come up.

And one with a dead trigger/sear that will not go off-

 

[Complete Reprobate]

Just picked up a Marlin 60 from ye olde pawn shoppe. It's beat up, but I just dropped it off at a very capable gunsmith, and it should be ready to rip in a month or two. As an added bonus, I have an ancient Weaver .22 scope getting mounted to it as well. The squirrel population is on borrowed time as of today.

 

[Ravier Xavenblood]

Do it, i SBRed mine and it is quite enjoyable actually. If the 9S is $500 do that one cause it looks better in my opinion. Though mags cost more.

They sold out right when I got paid and was ready to order. Fuck that was such a good deal too.

FPC LEGAL ALERT: The federal government has changed its position in a criminal case where it previously argued that suppressors aren't protected by the Second Amendment because they're accessories and not arms. The government now argues that:

1) "[T]he Second Amendment protects firearm accessories and components such as suppressors"
2) "[R]estrictions on the possession of suppressors burden the right to bear arms, and a ban on the possession of suppressors or other similar accessories would be unconstitutional"
3) The NFA is constitutional because it's "a modest burden" and not a ban
4) The 3-judge panel should rehear the case and correct its analysis, rather than going en banc

A "modest burden" is a bullshit way of saying infringement.

I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of laws and "law enforcement" are in place to suppress, needlessly burden, and artificially punish whites at every possible opportunity. For everything from drugs, to violence, to gun charges, to "hate crimes", browns are given a slap on the wrist at best, while whites are 100% guaranteed to get the book thrown at them for anything and everything. I saw a 4chan post screenshot a while back that explained that we live in an occupied state, and once I started viewing things from that lense, I have found myself inclined to agree. "Two tier policing" may be recently coined from Britain, but it's been official federal policy in America since the sixties.

Same, don't care for the Hellcat and the Shield Plus just isn't as good, IMHO.

Yeah the dead spring isn't great but thousands of tens of thousands of rounds is a LOT.

Do you guys use eye pro? I don't, never saw the point but if you have some anecdotes to say I should, I would like to hear them.

For semi autos and black powder I do, especially .22s and DBB 9mms that might have an out of battery. Had a couple over the years and was lucky to be wearing shades half the time. Bolt actions are very clean and don't have much going on for eye dangers, unless you run a brake or go prone.

So with FRT's back on the menu has anyone bootstrapped a .22 S&W or CMMG conversion yet? And if so are there any reliable drums for such?

You either need the Borebuddy trip thing or a printed one. Idk if the Borebuddy supersafety specific trip is for all FRTs or if you use a regular FA trip

Anyone carry a Glock 48? I'm interested in getting a slimline Glock for the summer months where I live. Does it conceal pretty well? Does it shoot like a slightly snappy 19?

I like mine, with the shield S15 mags I have the same capacity as my 19 but way thinner and a fuck ton more comfortable. Shoots the exact same for me, I'm just able to go slightly faster with the 19 because it has a red dot. One of these days I need to mill the slide for a dot but I'm in no hurry as I quite like factory glock sights. It's extremely comfortable, most comfortable gun I've handled save for the 320/365 and a thinner M&P.

The barrel length isn't an issue for me, the only issue with anything appendix is that the slide and maybe grip get jammed into your stomach when sitting, bending over, and especially driving.

Welp, Magpul dropped a roughly $6,000 clip on module for "most" 30mm LPVOs to give them similar capabilities to the new Army LPVO....

Looks neat but bulky and Heavy

Something awesome, and terrifying about the approaching day when all you need to hit something a thousand yards out is to point at it and pull. I wonder how regulations on hunting are going to treat these devices. God knows some idiot with more money than sense is gonna take all the fun out of prize hunting with one of these.

There's a reason that people joke about the M1A only being bought by boomers.

The M14 would have made a great civilian rifle. However it was a terrible combat rifle for the simple fact it was obsolete before it was even issued. That a bunch of combat veterans didn't take one look at the STG rifles, and go "everyone needs one of these!" Is the most mind boggling facts of history. Its not like they weren't already moving in that direction with the M1 and later M2 carbines. Detachable box magazine, intermediate cartridge, select fire, and some versions had a pistol grip. Its literally all right there! Just make it slightly bigger, and you have something far superior to anything anyone else was using outside of maybe the early AKs. Hell, even the colt monitor rifles were a step ahead, and a vast improvement over the M14. Everyone, and I mean everyone who ever produced a cop of the BAR decided it needed a pistol grip. Why did no one think the M14 needed one? Its just impressive how not war-like America is. The Romans sneered at barbarians as a matter of principle, and they still adopted the gladius from the savage hill tribes of Spain. Meanwhile we Americans march right into Germany, known for our semi-automatic rifles and carbines. We pick up some STGs, that the Germans don't need anymore, go "cool, this will make a nice souvenir", and think nothing else! Insanity!

Part of the problem is Whites don't have that same blind tribalism blacks do. I say its a problem, but it could be easily seen as a positive. Whites, for the most part, don't give a shit about being prosecuted by non-whites. blacks on the other hand can't stand Whitey doing something, even when its a net good for blacks. They'll scream and throw a fit, and cry racism when some drug dealing, teenage raping, gang-banging thug gets the book thrown at him, as much, if not more, than someone who is actually innocent. Its a shame, but you either believe law or tribalism.

 

[Among Us Gaming]

Is the most mind boggling facts of history.

Not really. Thats normal military conservatism. Look how long it took the powers of the great war to get rid of magazine cutoffs and 30" barrels. Look at how long it took the US to adopt 9x19, look at how long it took the french to get away from 8mm Lebel. Look at how literally every single nation of WWII (aside from Italy oddly enough), had tangent sighted out to 1500+ meters. What seens obvious to us in retrospect is not always a good idea in tue moment. Lets also not forget that the STG rifles aren't actually very good, and had an upwards of 60% rejection rate during manufacturing. It was certainly advanced and novel for its time, but by no means an obvious next step wonder weapon. Its worth noting that the US had previously considered intermediate cartridges with the .276 Pedersen rifle in trials agaisnt the Garand.

Why did no one think the M14 needed one?

Again, the rifle was supposed to be M1 Garand 2.0 (now with 20% more freedom). It was supposed to be produced in Garand tooling, and ergo, not require brand new tooling and manufacturing steps. Essentially it was pitched as a select fire mag fed garand. If you added a pistol grip, you'd have to spin up new tooling and materials sourcing. Had they known going in, that they would essentially have to make the rifle from scratch, and had some of the political intrigue removed (because there was a lot of polictics in the M14s adoption) I think they would have chosen the FAL instead.

Also for those interested, the Italians actually did that with the Nigerian contract BM59s, which also came with an integrated bipod. I'll say it again, the BM59 was everything the M14 should have been.
