I carry appendix concealed when I'm out and strong side open around home, but a shoulder rig is a chad move.

I've got too much of a gut to carry any kind of IWB rig. I have OWB rigs for when it's t-shirt weather, and then a Nightingale Leather custom shoulder rig with a triple magazine carrier for my Dan Wesson Specialist for when it's jacket weather. I want to get a second one for my Staccato P because I love it so much, but they aren't cheap. It's about a $700 rig with the options I have on it, like being fully lined and the triple mag carrier. Although I may go with the belt tie downs instead of the horizontal strap because the strap can sag down past the bottom of whatever I'm wearing over it.

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.

Dry fire practice is your friend. Sounds as if you're having problems with pre-ignition push. This is a common beginner problem. I had it too. Consistently training in dry fire fixed it.

A red dot is fancy by definition. Figure out irons first. When you figure that out, the red dot will feel so much easier. Just have your contacts in dude. And work on your breathing. Thats half of why you're jumping, your body is restless. Pace your shots, and you'll end up with a decent group.

The mechanics are the exact same with both systems. He does not need to do one or the other first.

Check out Ben Stoeger on YouTube and others who actually can shoot proficiently and teach it to others. Vet your info sources and ignore fudds.

Ben is legitimately a world class shooter and a great instructor. He's also a dickhead that likes to troll people but without a doubt he knows his stuff. Also check out Hunter Constantine, JJ Racaza, Joe Farewell, and Christian Sailer. Sailer doesn't make as well produced videos as those others but holy fuck, just watch videos of the man moving/transitioning/reloading. Between them all you have some excellent resources for what you can train to improve your shooting tremendously. I think while one does need live fire to verify some skills (this is what drills do) and test some things, it's not near as much as one thinks.

Drone loads now?
View attachment 6463452
As if there wasn't enough spergery about which shotgun loads are best...
:story:
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.

Id imagine steel or tungsten birdshot, maybe slightly heavier would be good drone repellent, idk. Fun looking shell none the less.

Personally I've always preferred irons over scopes. I feel they've helped make me a better shot. But to each his own.

Update on S&W SD40 2.0. Got the case, 25 round giggle mag is coming soon in the mail. Looked up the price, 322 with tax included. Not bad at all. Its happening soon.

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.

I got my makarov cerakoated, slide was only 60, it's my back up or summer carry. Beat to hell but nice enough pistol. Takes a beating. Socom blue looks like "blued" work.

Also it's a glock abuse it, legit throw it in a ditch for a few weeks.

Aside all that got 300 rounds down range on my LaRue, felt nice haven't shot in too long, not long enough I'm sloppy... law man.

I'd like to see that. My own GDR Makarov is far too nice for such a thing, but it might be fun if I ever pick up another in lesser condition.

Let me dig pics out, thers a 85% chance I'll forget but I'm not at home. It's cooler out so I'm packing my ported G20 normal carry. Also apparently doing a NO LACKIN is rude at family dinners. But you can post when everyone else is watching awful football games.
 
Today was my first time shooting a suppressed pistol and I enjoyed it. Everything I put through it cycled normally, even the Fiocchi subsonic stuff. I expected it to blow back more gunk in my face, but it wasn't that bad.
 
Shot my model 29 today, recoil wasn't bad at all. I'm sure the 8 3/8 barrel and scope help weight it down a bit. Now I have confidence to buy a .50AE after my project AR9 and C96 relining of the barrel.

How does relining a barrel work? Is it just like one of this rifled sleeves that are used for some 3D guns, or a different process? Never heard of rebarelling a pistol before

How the fuck do you reline the barrel of a 100+ year old gun?

there is a man that does this for ok pricing. From his site
Installing a new Liner:
1. Drill barrel out to 0.420″ thru and thru
2. Drill to 0.450″ about an 1.25″ deep from the receiver side
3. Make new liner to match profile
4. Install liner using silver alloy
5. Cut new chamber and head-space liner
I think lugerman is currently the only person offering these services still, there used to be a ton of different people that used to offer relining but they no longer exist I think. The C96 I'm doing it on has no rifling left, it was shot out when I got it. I have probably put 300 rounds through it in this condition and it still works though keyholes (obviously). Its not the greatest looking one either, there's a dent on the lower receiver, none of the bluing is left its all patina'd. I could probably just keep it smoothbore but I think I'd enjoy using it past 7 yards.

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?

The best paint job is wear and tear. Pristine guns give me the willies. It's like getting in a turbo car and seeing that it has less than 1000 miles on. Shoot the fucking paint off it, and then tell the guy looking at it where that scratch came from, and that ding, and that little nubbin of nail polish.....
But as an aside, I think once you break the barrier of the first major blotch on it, you don't seem to notice any of the other. Or really care.

Once we get to heaven —if the Almighty lets us have guns there— we can keep our firearms pristine in a place without entropy. In the meantime, enjoy them, because they might not be around forever anyways.
