i feel like the gen 2 glocks arent appreciated enough. maybe im autistic but they look the nicest. no finger grooves, no front serrations, no rail (when applicable), and no beveled front of the slide.
for me it's the gen 2 g20. well, i hope i can find one soon.

Nah, the best looking Glocks are Gen 5 G19s with the Glock Tactical Light II installed. It completes the boxy look in a very tasteful way. IMG_2865.jpeg

Here’s the only good pic I could find of it mounted on the Glock 17. (The other ones were all older models with the grooves or the ugly Glock 47.) Still looks pretty good, but I wish they made a slightly longer version to fit flush with full sized Glocks.

Simpson Ltd and Liberty Tree Collectors are usually my go to, prices are sometimes high but you can find what you need if you keep an eye out.

Simpson Ltd is indeed legit. That's where I bought my vintage S&W Model 57 no-dash. They've got a clean Winchester Model 71 that they have had for months that I really wish I could buy, but it's $2.5k (which is a good price for a vintage Model 71 in excellent condition) and what money I can spend on gun stuff is going towards getting my Hybrid 46M set up to mount on my Mark 23. Next gun I buy will probably be a new Marlin 1895 SBL.

Collector's Firearms is another good one.

Edit: There is no such thing as a "best looking GLOCK". They all look the same: bland black bricks.
 
Just bought a the MAC 9 DS-D Comp, the newest Turkcatto offering. Will report back if it's a bag of shit or not. My first 2011 so I'm not sure what to expect really.
Kiwibros who have factory ported barrels, shouldn’t they refinish what gets milled out?
Might be a little hard to see but the barrel looks unfinished from where they made the cut. I can touch it up with some oxpho-blue but not sure if it’s supposed to be this way.

TIL that George Kellgrene, father of KelTec firarms, was the engineer who designed the Tec-9 for Intratec.

Why KelTec refuses their heritage and does not make their own KelTec Tec 9s to this day is kind of baffling, imho.

 
I want a long 1911 that doesn't suck complete ass, should I just order a slide from Caspian and throw it on a Springfield frame or fix up a Kimber Target?

I can see why they wouldn't but I understand why they should. It's going to be shit up by vented gasses anyway, but that's also why I'd want some sort of finish on it even if it will wear away.

Probably because they know it's a total piece of shit, and that's really saying something for something George/KelTec designed.

The B&T and the Beretta PMX run just fine, I imagine that Tec-9's that were actually built properly would, too.

Also, more evidence for the Sig bros to try to wave away.

There's an MP-9 for sale right now, if anyone has $45k to spare it's here. It's been on sale for a while, probably for good reason. I knew a guy on /k/ who got one of the Interdynamic foregrips at a gun show for like $15 or something and I envy that bastard. As for the MP-9 itself I don't think more than like 200 were made (likely less).

Why does everyone want a rotating barrel? What am I missing? Whats the benefit? I've always wanted a fixed barrel semi-auto. The Luago Alien is just to high for me to justify buying although I'd really love to try one out.
I don't know about everyone but you should get some trigger time on a Beretta PX4. You have to experience the recoil impulse firsthand to really understand the difference. It probably won't sell you on rotating barrels but at least you'll know what people are talking about. The Alien is probably a lot harder to do this with. I was lucky enough to have a friend buy one and he let me put 2 mags through it. It for sure is what people say it is but at a cost far too prohibitive for me to ever consider buying one myself.
M&Ps run. Well apparently except the 10mm.
It's only a sample size of 1 but mine hasn't had a malfunction with 1300+ rounds and 10 different magazines. I have the full size, non-safety model with Apex Tactical FSS parts in it.
the p226 isn't even a good gun
I think it's a good service pistol and if one views it from that perspective they'll likely agree.

Edited to add: I likely have told you all this before but I run a lightly customized P320 as my travel/expendable pistol. Not as truly throwaway a piece as something like Jennings or a Bryco but if it were confiscated/stolen/lost after using it to mostly peacefully protest, I wouldn't be all that buttmad about it. If one was going to jump on a striker-fired Sig pistol I think the 365 is a lot better.

At this point, you can even just say "fuck it", and get a service pistol-sized P365 with the Fuse model. It's pretty funny how they just kept releasing larger versions as time went on.
Almost like Sig knew that they would eventually stop making P320's, for the obvious reasons (they fucking shoot people on their own).

Ngl, I kinda really want a P365 in a Raider chassis. I just think they're neat. I wish the trigger wasn't absolute ass on the P365, but on a PDW its not nearly as terrible, imho.

I don't think it's bad. I guess for me what I hate in a trigger is grit. When it feels like sand is in there. The worst I've tried of a new gun is the APX carry, the small one. Also the Glock triggers I've tried. I think for such a small gun the hellcat and p365 actually have much better triggers than expected.

I agree, particularly for a striker gun. While the break on my XL is more "soggy Rice Krispies" than "glass rod", it's consistent and light, making it easy enough to shoot reasonably well with.

Ya know it's funny. I have a 1914 striker fired Mauser and it's actually got a pretty decent trigger. Smooth take up and wall. A little mush on the wall, not much. pretty crisp. It's really funny seeing the striker firing pin mechanism in it and how basic at first glance it is. Nothing covering it up. Slide sits around it. It's more mechanically complicated inside the frame. Fun gun

So to the people smarter than I, if someone had a sig 320 X-ten they got shortly after it hit the shelves. How nervous should that person be to use it? Like range toy only, or pure paperweight, or is it late enough that it's probably fine?
If you have to ask this question then you have your answer. Even if it comes out that the pistol is perfectly fine. If you don't feel safe with it in your heart, it is worthless to you as a tool to use in every day life.

It's really difficult to ignore the fact that Sig keeps making the P365 bigger and bigger. I don't think Sig's doing it with the intent that it will eventually replace the P320 line, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it does. As for the trigger, I only have a P365XL and I think the trigger sucks compared to my stock gen 5 Glock triggers, and it really sucks compared to the stock PDP trigger.

I posted this on the previous page of the thread. Interesting stuff.
