Well for a first time gun (for a first time owner). What more would I have to do besides home defense, range shooting, cww/open carry and the odd competition? I'm building an ar15 (because I'm a cheap fuck and building this is fun) at the moment because I want a rifle that can do anything (home defense, range, hunting, target shooting) and then specialize when I find something I like, although sights are still something I can't find what I like yet for my rifle.

You misunderstand
> home defense
You'd typically want something with modularity that can take an optic and a light. G19 works fine for that tbh
> range shooting
For a range gun, you'd want something with a much nicer SAO trigger like a 1911 or Jericho 941/CZ75, or something more interesting or historical. Those guns however are big, SAO, and dont conceal well
> CCW
If you want to conceal carry, a smaller subcompact gun may be more desireable, such as a S&W bodyguard or Glock 42/43/43x, but those guns have less support and being smaller aren't as nice to shoot.
> competition
For competition you'd want a gun built for competition, like a competition built Glock 17, CZ SP01, 1911, etc. Those however are very large guns and their features do not lend to durability, reliability with hollow points, or concealability

For each of the things you want to do, a different gun would serve you better in that endeavor, however, a glock 19 will be plenty serviceable in all those roles, where some of those other guns would do very poorly in another role (I dont care what the fudds say, a 1911 is a terrible CCW gun).

As for glock clones, watch this video

I'll never get how the PPK gained the traction it did. I first saw it in the Bond films and so I wanted to try it out. When I finally got some trigger time on one I thought, "Damn, they did James dirty with this bullshit."

And it still sells well, even at its ridiculous price point.

Maybe now it’s a hunk of junk but in 1930 there really wasn’t a better gun at that form factor. And it was a time when many people probably wanted a gun they could easily hide.

So it popped up and gained a lot of notoriety. It’s just an iconic gun.
 
My 90's action movie pistol showed up. Was seemingly a police-issue gun (the right side is engraved a bit crookedly with a four-digit number) that I guess sat in a cabinet somewhere because it seems like nobody ever shot it and has practically zero holster wear:

Shockingly nice trigger, both in DA and SA.

Novak sights with the square trigger guard.
Nice.
I have a DAO 5946, despite being DAO, the trigger is very good and workable, like a DA revolver.

Damn lucky Dick Cheney wasn’t sharing the hunting grounds with you that day. Also a catastrophic failure with a gun is one of my worst fears with a firearm. You got that divine intervention going for you, brother

Im not convinced it wasn't Dick Cheney, it was flat desert, brush was ankle high. Where i was it was barren, it was surreal feeling the pellets and seeing dust getting kicked up from pellets getting sucked in the ground and bouncing off while hearing the shot. He had to have been aiming at me, I don't know what his deal was. We weren't aiming at his direction and we were at least 100-150 feet way from him. I ended up watching him pack up and leave, looked to be in his 50s early 60s so I guess it couldn't have been old Dick.

How are you guys not discussing this? A federal judge has ruled that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for Machine Guns to be banned. Bros, this might be it.

From you're lips to God's ears. I don't think sadly that the supreme court will actually do the right thing and go with this interpretation.

By way of Bruen, it was used as an argument in a single case. This is much more difficult on a national scale though it can possibly be used to help influence it.
Rein in your optimism just a tiny bit. I say tiny bit because Trump is only just putting out an executive order to look into gun rights, including infringements put into place from 2021-2024.

Can I add an after market safety too? I understand it's like putting a hat on a hat, but I'm the kinda weirdo who will still pull out even if my woman is on the pill.

The more you complicate the gun, the more useless it becomes for carrying. Think about the situation your are mostly likely to ever use a conceal carrying. Most people would tell you merely racking the slide takes to much time. You really can't have the gun set up in a way where you have to solve the lament configuration to get it ready to shoot. What you need to be aiming for is keeping the gun in a state where you just pull it out and shoot the thing. If you go ahead adding multiple safeties on it, you aren't helping yourself, you are setting yourself up to get shot in the face.

A well oiled beretta is a happy beretta.

1000 rounds through the gts, I'm gonna say it. The frame decocker is much nicer then on the slide. Other then that, it's a 92 with nicer sights and a skeltonized hammer out of the box. Very happy with it.

Is blurring your serial number on your gun when you post a pic a meme or is there actually any way of fucking with someone by having the serial number

100% legit. No joke but the ATF does look at serial numbers of firearms posted online and see if youre breaking the law somehow.
 
What do you guys think about cheapo 1911s I know rock island is the best in a budget but I was looking at the tisas tanker model. My understanding is if you stick with 45acp there shouldn't be any issues since the 1911 was designed for a semi rimmed cartridge

Tisas and girsan are both turkshit. Dont. If you want a budget 1911 try a used smith or ruger one
