Mega Rad Gun Thread

How the hell do I shoot good
I went to the range again today and zeroed my red dot properly before putting another 150 rounds through the barrel. I’m up to 350 rounds shot with my gun and my form is doodoo dogshit.

My accuracy is alright when I go slow and work my way to the trigger wall; I overcompensate and dip down left if I’m rapid firing, that’s if I’m not trying to find my reticle. How the hell do I get gud?

I feel like I may be too rigid and not letting the gun recoil correctly back onto target. At least I feel like I’m making progress trying to learn holster draw and getting into low ready/compressed ready position. I finally stopped racking a new mag like a newbie and started letting the slide release chamber for me.

I got "good" at shooting by shooting at 4 inch targets. Started at 5-7 yards, slowly worked it up to 10-15.
the big reason is that I could put 4 onto a single piece of printer paper and that'd give me 4 targets to shoot at per piece of paper.
the other benefit to doing that is that it very quickly shows you what you are doing wrong & correct any mistakes.

Also, rapid firing is a mega meme perpetuated by Big Influencer, and you shouldn't do it until you can get good at precision shooting. Go slow until you can confidently hit your target. Only then should you go faster.
People will tell you to release the trigger right as the gun fires, but if you're new, I don't think you should. When the trigger breaks, hold it down until your sight picture returns, then slowly release the trigger until you feel the reset. Shooting like that forces you to go slow and pay more attention to each shot. As you shoot more and more, you should be able to do the procedure faster and eventually skip the reset altogether.
I assume you're familiar with dry firing, so I won't talk about that.

all of this takes time. you will not get good overnight, but it will come with time.

I have returned from hell packing a Ruger PCC in the Magpul takedown configuration. Haven't shot yet. Will soon.

Quick question. There's an included adapter that allows it to accept Glock© Brand™ Glock® magazines. I don't know much about Glonks and I don't know how literally to take this. At some point, someone mentioned there's an extra large mag that can fit in the storage of the stock. I'm also wondering if there's a shorter mag available that can be kept in the magwell without interfering with the takedown storage. This seems like information that should be easily available, but surprisingly I'm having some trouble finding it.

Not going to look if anyone else has addressed this further but I have the same PCC with the same (aftermarket) Magpul stock. I can fit a 15rd pro-mag or a 15rd magpul p-mag inside the riser compartment, no issue. Also the first thing I did when I took the thing home was swap out the Ruger magwell for the Glock magwell. I havent had any issues with failure to feed when using magpul p-mags or the retarded 25rd promag I bought when I bought the PCC. I occasionally had an issue at the range where the magazine would fall out without chambering a round when I'd release the charging handle, but I chalked that up to not slapping the base of the magazine when inserting it into the magwell.

tl;dr: like @MrShekelstein36 said just fuckin send it dude

Drone loads now?

As if there wasn't enough spergery about which shotgun loads are best...

It's probably just a printed hull & nothing special, but still I've long been wondering which shot #'s & chokes what would work best for different duties; vs. FPV, Mavic/bomber, etc. As things develop it'll be interesting to hear more from both sides about what they use for such purposes.

I guess you want as close to birdshot as you can get while still having enough power to cripple the drone. May honestly amount to ordinary birdshot or slightly hotter but same shot

i've heard from some people that they're adapted 2-1/4" and 3" steel shot, .177" or .20" size because it's widely available from multiple countries and cheap to make in quantity both on hand and on existing machinery. it's intended to break plastics and foul propellers, optics, and use mass to destabilize or destroy.

Weirdly enough, I am unironically surprised that this one got signed into law.

if you just walk around in your home or property strapped constantly and your other firearms are stored in an approved manner you're exempt. the silver lining is subtly encouraging you to not keep firearms around unlocked where unauthorized people could get ahold of them, and to keep your "nightstand gun" on your person in your home.

arguably the dumber laws were banning simulated blood/gunfire for school shooter drills, or the one that prohibits contractors from selling confiscated guns the police want disposed of, as well as removing the sunset provision for "red flag laws" of prior years. essentially making them infinitely renewable instead of requiring a hearing each time and and on-going cause after the 30 day impound.

Is the muzzle blast from 5.56 rifles really a TBI concern?

Short guns indoors doing CQB training probably.

Do a fuck ton of dry fire, every day, whenever you have 5 minutes to kill.
These videos are solid, and the main parts are slow way down and think about/inspect your shit. It's easy to blast 500 rounds in a trip, but the trick is to make the most out of that ammo.

For range use just use the cheapest stuff you can get. Ammoseek is the best, and be sure to calculate price AFTER SHIPPING+TAX. I generally only get free shipping stuff as I've never saved money if I'm the one paying the shipping. The tax free places may be a higher original price, but at checkout they may actually be cheaper.

Also, get yourself a speed loader. Having your fingers not be fucked up is pretty sweet

What’s a good preserving coat job I can do to my pistol? I hear people talk about cerakote and duracoat. I wouldn’t mind paying a few hundred for a snazzy paint job but my main goal is just to add a layered coat onto the Glock nPVD slide coating.

It’s gonna wear from use no matter what. Just accept it’s a tool.

It’s a pretty tool. I give it a kiss before bed because it keeps me safe. I clean it every time after I shoot. I even started putting pro gold in it. I want to treat it like my baby. If that means giving it a chocolate chip paint job just to eke out another year with it that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Will painting it ruin it?

preserving coat job

Anything that will wear down the original finish will wear down any coating. Duracoat was a meme when it was first applied, it's like rhino liner for truck beds but does not lend itself to the wear and tear. Cerakote is for prettiness and is about equal to any standard finish.
Holster choice will impact the finish the most. Leather and moisture will generally not hurt Glock's finishes, but Kydex and similar will scrape anything relatively quickly. A hybrid(Leather/Kydex) holster might allow more squish to prevent passive scraping but all wear is normal and natural. It means it's doing its job.

You will be hard pressed to get a better finish than factory. The finish on the 19x is the only one on a Glock that didn’t rust from carrying for me.

If you’re worried about it, you should get a backup gun. Keep one for training, and one for carrying.

I don’t bother with excessive cleaning. Maybe a wipe down every couple of months, and apply more lube.

It’s a very common way to have a gun stolen. If you want it near you, you should have it on your person.

The whole point of a car gun is you have it when your visiting a shithole and dont cc all the time, like stopping at a negro gas station. If you live in a shithole thats prone to car theft and you are worried about it you should probably move (especially if its in your driveway)

I just keep my gun on my person. No need to have a gun in the car that could get stolen and is also not accessible to me if I’m not in my vehicle.

I always carry, even at home and at work. I know they've lost popularity these days, but my favorite way to carry is a shoulder rig. They are especially nice if you drive or are in a seated position a lot of the time. The only downside to shoulder rigs IMHO is that they're not very well suited to warm weather since you really do need something to wear over them like a jacket to conceal them.

You also need a separate rig in a lot of competitions, since a lot of places will DQ you for breaking the 180. Not a factor for some people, but it's annoying if you want your carry and competition equipment to be the same.

Not a problem for me since I'm not a competition shooter.

it's going to eventually wear. there's no getting away from it.

the best coatings on the market are either DLC (has some specific trade names like Ion-Bond), CVD, or Birdsong (a secret sauce DLC/PACVD blend with salt bath of some kind). this will cover up the factory finish though, FYI.
