Based. I carry a gen 5 G19, and I think the only legitimate gripes that people can have are the sights and maybe the grip texture. The grip angle and trigger are copes imo.

I've never understood this setup. I had some buddies that killed folks with similar setups in Iraq and Afghanistan and they said that besides the rifles being heavy and having less ammo they worked fine. They used suppressors on theirs. Unsuppressed they'd create fireballs at the muzzle to make a Mk18 blush and .308 ballistics at this barrel length make them basically expensive 7.62X39 magnums.
Wasn't the Dan Wesson DWX supposed to be essentially this? I know I've bitched a lot about that on here but fucking hell am I salty about that one.
I heard Kimbers from the late 90s-2005 were excellent quality for their price point. I know Clubby covered his thoughts on their QC downward spiral already so I have nothing else to add.
You know we have two active feds in this thread, right?

Essentially, with slapping the 1911 and CZ-75(Futurized Hi-Power) together. They went full retard with gearing it towards competition usage, though, since the low end of the market, which Dan Wesson hates, would have appreciated it much more.

reliable mud/brick wall/door lethal passthrough. 5.56 shatters or won't make it lethal reliably, and can be deflected from sheet metal, heavy carpets, or plate glass. Mk 316, M118 (and 118LR, and black tipped Mk319 can do so easily. the other option is having a guy lug around a short DMR or M240 or something which isn't feasible. the M60E3 is doable but lacks accuracy for point targets at range (through windows, or if a guy is known standing on the other side of a wall to hit that guy one and done, et c).
lots of corner cases.

Ah, that makes sense. Didn't know about heavy/thick fabric being an impediment for 5.56. I do remember a lot of rugs on walls or as curtains in the ME so no surprise that one was likely learned "the hard way."
I did not know about the Mk319 and was surprised to learn the US military would go lighter than 150 grains for .308. It's a fuck of a lot faster than .300 BLK at a similar weight but I wonder if the other system compromises needed make it less appealing as a suppressed rifle option.

it's less the carpet by itself and more that it's against a mudbrick wall and has shelves or something on the other side, or they double up on carpets during winter for insulation. i'm not knocking the practice since it works and some of the carpet patterns are really nice.
it was very "zippy" i guess would be the best description. intended for flat shooting, high penetration, but gets it's energy from velocity and not so much mass. if you can hit the velocity/distance at a sweet spot, it's like a little copper fragmenting microgrenade on strike. i always used it on suppressed short barreled weapons, and always inside of 300 meters, i have no clue on it's long range performance, but from experience with other things i would guess kinda bad, better off with a heavy 5.56 if you're shooting 1km.

I love my Dan Wesson Specialist. It has been a great pistol, and it's one of the pistols I carry the most.
@Adolf Hulkler yeah, I didn't bring up carbon fiber cans because I wasn't really trying to make a comprehensive list of all the features and materials available with American suppressors. My posts tend to be long-winded enough as it is. But now that you mention it, I personally am not a fan of cans made from carbon fiber. I just don't feel like it's an appropriate material for the application. Just like I feel like it's an inappropriate material to make deep sea submersibles out of.

The only use for carbon fiber in suppressors I can think of would be a sleeve around the body. If I remember correctly, it's a pretty good insulator.

Yeah, I can definitely see carbon fiber being fine for .22lr and other very low pressure applications. Maybe even some pistol calibers like .45 ACP. But for higher pressures, like .300 WinMag, I'd definitely want something metal.

Titanium is great if your primary concern is keeping extra weight out front to a minimum. Not the most durable suppressor material, but it's not a problem unless you're doing a lot of mag dumps or full auto. Not great for use with NODs due to titanium creating very noticeable sparking under NV.
Speaking of sparking, something I dislike about a lot of the flow-through or "low back pressure" cans is that their flash suppression is notably inferior to traditional baffle stack cans. Some of them do better than others, but ultimately it comes down to whether your biggest concern is excellent flash mitigation, or getting lead poisoning.

I saw this,
What kind of legality is there to strapping a gun to a dog? The animal is considered property, like a car, so would the states rules for gun storage in a vehicle apply? One side of the dog pack has the gun, the other side ammo with a lock on the zipper? What about a loaded open carry strapped into Rex's taticool harness? Has anyone actually tried this and there are hysterical court documents on it I'm missing out on? Has a precedent been set yet?
Realistically, storing a loaded firearm on an animal seems wildly irresponsible, full retard even, no matter how well trained the animal is but I'll be damned if the theory of it doesn't make my brain go brrrrr.
”That's my service dog, he needs that 1911 to provide his services for me... The ADA says I don't have to give details, good bye.”
and once again returned to a thunkful thought I've had several times now, which I would like to discuss here in the hopes someone might have insight.

depends on the state, and i've come across this before:
1. states that allow open carry of a firearm in public reserve that right to people, not animals. animals have a unique bills of animal rights that are not the same as human rights or civil rights. bearing arms in some capacity is a civil right.
2. states that mandate a permit to carry generally require that the permitted person be in control of the firearm at all times when carrying in the manner under the terms of the permit. ergo a dog does not need a permit because a permit cannot apply to the dog, the dog (largely considered property) would "hold" the gun in the same way leaving the gun unattended in a car would be "carrying". many states only allow carrying in a vehicle when it's on your person and in your immediate control. a gun in a locked container (glovebox with a lock, the trunk, et c) typically doesn't need any sort of permit.
3. if the dog's method of carrying precludes the ability of the dog to control the firearm, you must then maintain control of the dog at all times and the firearm that is stored on the body of the dog. this method may not be allowed under the terms of your permit. where it's debatable is where the dog is openly carrying (not concealing) a firearm that is secured to the dog, where the dog has no control of the firearm (be aware that control is often defined as physically in possession of the firearm, not whether or not the possessor can actually use it), where the dog is under the supervision and control of the dog owner, and where no other law prohibits storing a gun on an animal. this is very dubious though and point 4 typically excludes most arguments.
4. i would bet that "storing" your gun on a child or infant or where they have ready access to it might be an equivalent argument to allowing a dog to store and transport your firearm which is almost textbook criminal negligence of storage of a firearm. namely criminal negligence of storage of a firearm (in california this is PC 25100 and specifies that to bear or carry a firearm, it must be under the owner's or legal possessor's exclusive control/custody among other things).

What a fantastic break down, this is exactly what I needed to stop having dumb shower thoughts about it every couple of months. You have my sincere thanks!

That's nothing new, there was a Glock torture test a million years ago where they dropped it out of an airplane.

It is new, he tossed a Gen 5 Glock off the building, proving that the 3rd gen Glock is still the best gen, mostly.

I didn't know glocks could really handle it, until I saw glockamole on /k/.
I love my normie friends and family but when you're the "gun guy" sometimes you get the worst shit to handle or sort.... Pops bore sight doesn't work... was it held on shoulder and not a sled? JUST FUCKING GUESS.
I know how @Club Sandwich feels reading all our tism.
Being said for real, before sat I'll log on again and anyone is welcome to DM me about stuff at sarco. If you want pics or to get something just ask. No I will not kiester a 23mm Russian cannon kit. Only because I'm not a fan of shoplifting. lol.

Always wondered about that sort of thing. Stuff from the 40s sometimes seems like really rough machining but the fabrication on that looks spectacular.
