Truth. 9mm is also cheaper to train with than .380 and is more powerful. As much as I can't shoot subcompacts well, the shields do not have as much recoil as I'd expect. Meanwhile the ruger and hellcat I shot were snappy as fuck.

Try changing recoil springs.

Aero's been shitting the bed for the past 5 years now, with their QC just getting worse and worse. I only ever bought their receivers anyway, but I now tell people to look elsewhere for complete uppers/lowers, and to look over any parts purchased from them carefully.

Yeah I only have an Aero M5 and the tolerances are fucking wacky between the upper/lower. If I want a lower I only go with Centurion with a BCM upper.

There's a very small chance this is airsoft but I can't even for sure tell if the company that tried to make airsoft 971's ever actually did so

Something very curious from the Gaza strip, what are allegedly Tavor receivers produced by Hamas, as kind of evidenced by their logo very clearly molded into the receivers themselves and not painted or stickered on. However given their past propaganda regarding weapon's production outside of rockets, mortars, grenades ETC (such as disassembling and then reassembling Iranian AMR's) it would be reasonable to have doubts in regards to their actual origin

after doing this professionally for literal decades, i gave up on laser levels early on for quality and consistency issues. sometimes the laser just isn't fine enough for some crosshairs despite all other factors being good.

a plumb bob hung from a support and into a bucket of water at a few meters distance, then level the rifle and lap the rings as appropriate, then level the scope and observe proper torque. do it once, and do it right. alternately the way i do it now is a little different since i use the table off a defunct lathe to align everything down to a few thousandths. same concept though.

Are you talking now? I agree it's fairly pedestrian now. When it first released it was something else, but that's like 30 years ago.

So given my like of /out/ing and -let's just say- other circumstantial vulnerabilities I predict in the near future, I am thinking of acquiring a high-force pistol/revolver for self defense. Besides the Ruger Redhawk, is there any cheap gun that fits this model?

(Also am newbie)

In addition to whatever everyone else wrote I'll add the suggestion to look into used pieces. Especially with magnum revolvers, most guys carry and shoot those far less than you may think. This is best if you can inspect them in person pre-purchase but don't let that stop you if you find a good deal from a reputable source.

What about a classic 226?

.380 exists in this day and age because sometimes you need a gun with capacity while wearing a suit, that fits in a pocket.

My brother in shit posting, what suit do you know that fit you well and allow you to carry a pocket pistol? Unless you're talking about in your overcoat or something.

This is not a bad suggestion but do keep in mind when you start changing spring forces in semi-automatic weapons, you need to test all the configurations of the weapon you want to use it in for reliability. Also be aware that some other aspect of the weapon's function will be different going forward. This is not automatically a bad thing, just an FYI.

Let me rephrase. Why would someone buy one when they could just get the glock. I've never heard of a clone being superior. I can get hypothetically why they would be made.
Click to expand...
Nuance like grip shape, angle and other geometry can make or break it for a lot of people, not to mention that Glock holds firm on pricing and clones are either cheaper or more expensive with supposedly more features.

For some it's pure aesthetics. For some it's an arguable improvement on the mechanics/design with the more "premium" Glock clones, like the Zev shit or the Shadow Systems shit. The one I think that is compelling is the RxM. Better grip from Magpul, still a good slide made by Ruger, for cheaper than a Glock, and it comes with metal irons with an optics cut as standard. Previously you could get a PSA Dagger for really cheap, they have some QC issues as is standard for PSA, but the value proposition for many is there. The people buying the P80 or other 80% kits are either A) felons, B) hobbyists, or C) conspiracy oriented people who can't otherwise buy private party. A lot of people like to tinker around and feel like they're making shit when they're just assembling off the shelf components.

I don't think there are many objective reasons to not buy the Glock vs the clones. The only couple I can really think of is a couple manufacturers make a clone that is it's A) reliable enough, if not as reliable, as a Glock and it's cheaper or B) the feature combination (better sights, mounting, porting, stippling, trigger etc) as standard offers a better value proposition than what can be had from buying a standard Glock.

The list of copes is long though, statements like, "the grip angle makes it unshootable," "the stippling is bad on a Glock," or "the trigger is bad;" It's cope and their fundamentals are bad. The gun is fine. Though those copes made a market. If they need to mess with the underlying core of the Glock to get a "Glock" they're happy with, they should just get another gun. Glock isn't for everyone but it's brand recognition is so strong that they still try and make them into to other guns, like trying to turn an AK into an AR.

Everything that sucks about Glock doesn't matter and everything they are good at matters a whole lot.

SIG's optics aren't bad if you're in the market for a cheap red dot. I've got a ROMEO7S on my AR and it works like a charm.
Then again, SIG optics aren't really SIG products - they're just rebadged Holosuns. From the same factory in China and everything.

depends on the exact SKU. the upper end SIG branded optics are assembled in Oregon with some domestic and foreign components. usually the electronics are either US, Japanese, or Taiwanese, the glass can be US or German, and the rest is from other places (scope bodies from Indonesia for example). there are also specific exceptions like the Tango 6T which is 100% US made due to military contract requirements, same for the Romeo Zero with the exception of the battery circuit being from Japan.

per the FBI statistics, most criminals that use a stolen firearm acquired it from car burglaries 3:1 vs home burglaries, straw purchase, legal sale, or illegal sale.
