At one of the things I attended a black lady had a P89 and it stove piped every round and she had to keep clearing it and had to retry twice to clear the qual. I assume it wasn't well cared for.

the guns really dont have that many wear surfaces or interacting parts. the meme that you don't have to clean them is probably true. but its probably one of the easiest metal frame pistols to limp wrist because the grip is so thick and the slide is so massive and top heavy

I carried my 5906 once, that nigga is a heavy stainless brick, lmao.

The 5906 was a decent gun for it's day, heavy but, the one I shot was reliable and seemed well made. I found the blued steel equivalent to be noticeably bad. It just struck me as cheap and low quality, excessive play in the slide, plastic guide rod and for some reason accuracy for a full sized pistol was awful on the one I shot. Didn't S&W back in the day give this huge price cut to all police depts nationwide? IIRC they rumor was they sold them at cost or even lower for marketing purposes.



This ranged from dept to dept, many CCW permits back in the day said 3 pistols are allowed for concealed carry. I have always followed the doctrine based on statistics most actual gun fights last 5 seconds 5 rounds and are at the length of a car. Double check my numbers I might be wrong.

Ergo I have a .32ACP mouse gun for nothing but the situation where I'm not expecting the least bit of trouble yet trouble finds me. IE IDK, some crazed road rage asshole tries to run me of the road forcing my car into a ditch or something I'd never see coming.

Subcompact polymer .40 if I'm working in a questionable area because its light and if 10 rounds of .40JHP center mass cant do it I should have brought a carbine.

10mm full size because I want a semi auto 41 magnum if I feel there is a real substantial chance I will have to shoot someone.

Theoretically I can conceal a .300BLK "pistol" in a backpack maybe under a heavy jacket. I would imagine some dick-licker District attorney holding up at trial like it was a thermonuclear weapon should I ever justifiably shoot some dirt-bag(s) with it.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger prosecuting Kyle Rittenhouse (not pictured, Testosterone or comprehension of law). For all who don't recall this guy was such a soy filled dickless wonder, he even called into question Rittenhouse's constitutional right to acquire legal council and was yelled at by the judge for using that to suggest culpability. Yes, you read that correctly. A prosecuting trial attorney tried to suggest the defendant retaining an attorney was a sign of guilt.
 
@Club Sandwich Thanks for the recommendation CIA Nigger but I can't fulfill your request and you're not my handler, thanks for the free equipment sucker.

Now what were you talking about in terms of "minor changes" for "long range work"?
 
I once decided to see exactly how much neglect my P95 could take, so I cleaned it, and then decided not to clean it again until it was inoperable. Unfortunately, I completely lost count of how many rounds it took, but I do know that what finished it off was about a thousand rounds of some off-brand Spanish shit that looked like it was loaded with black powder. Legitimately couldn't see the target after six or seven rounds. Luckily, the ammo filled the contact surfaces with so much garbage that it became the world's shittiest Mk.22 knockoff. Having to rack the slide every round dropped the rate of fire enough that the target was always at least kind of visible through the haze.

After that, I pulled it apart and found so much fouling had accumulated that I could just bang the slide and frame against a table and knock chunks of it out. I was impressed that it was managing to fire at all, given the case of crimes against God that I'd just force-fed it. It's damn near impossible to accidentally make one inoperable.

DEA/ATF merging feels like it was inevitable. The ATF bumblefucks their way into every other department's business but I also think it's compressing it a bit too much. The War on Drugs has been a shitshow.
But he's also right about pro gun victories not being rewarding to those that are pushing them, not that we're used to being happy about it just yet although the HPA is great.

Hopefully this is to give the agents something to do as they transition away from fucking with gun owners, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

The video of them wasting my tax dollars to fuck with an old man just trying to sell his Px4 still makes me MATI. I'll never understand why anyone would voluntarily sign up to work for the ATF, especially considering their shit pay in regards to their requirements. TS clearance, poly, and a degree for $68k? Lmao.

Easy. They want to be a federal agent and either went with the first agency that called them back, couldn't meet the much higher standards of the other agencies or didn't want to do all that dangerous stuff the Marshals and the DEA get up to.

Harassing grandpa over his Px4 is pretty safe.

That's true. Their handgun qual is a joke so I suppose it's less of a chance to get filtered out. I just personally couldn't be fucked to deal with E-QIP and the assholes that administer polygraph tests for such low pay. Plus I wouldn't find driving to someone's house over a threaded filter order from Temu to be satisfying work.
 
FRTs are legal now right? If I were hypothetically in the market for one, which one should I go with? I remember the rare breed guy teasing a select fire version. Does that exist?

So hypothetically if you're talking a 556 AR I've heard good things about a atrius super safety as it has a actual selector switch instead of the push button. However it will be extremely backordered. Also be prepared to swap out the buffer and possibly perform dremel aided redneck gunsmithing on fiddley bits.

edit. Yes it is 3 pos

Depends, does it come with 80s ammo and old surplus prices?

The Iraqi urge to make bootleg NATO weapons out of Soviet designs is a strong one

Part of me wants to say they want that "cool NATO shit", but can't get their hands on it. So these abominations are the best they can do. Another part of me knows they are low iq retards who probably think "westernizing" their old soviet aid makes them just as effective as NATO soldiers, and not the training. Cargo cult, middle east edition.

So literally right when progress on unshittifying the ATF is going on: like not taking fucking forever to get approved for a suppressor. They pull this shit. Of course, clown world.

You left out the best part! That picture is of him pointing that rifle at a court room full of people in the gallery. You can see the judge's box under his left elbow and the witness stand under his right.

Unless you were shooting corrosive ammo and didn't clean it no pistol cartridge can shoot the rifling out of a barrel. What has likely happened is that the barrel is leaded all to hell and needs a very deep cleaning. Pistol cartridges just don't have the velocity or the heat to burn a barrel.

It's a shame the P-series is gone. They were truly over built. A lot of time that statement is a meme but it isn't here. Mine's shot thousands of rounds of 9mm, from +p to weak target loads and never failed once. its never been lubed and its never been cleaned outside of oiling the exterior if the gun got wet.

And they are CHEAP. mine was 300 or so dollars, and it was only that expensive because it was brand new in the box.

Its actually my favorite wonder-9. great trigger. a lot of creep but its not a bad kinda creep. very smooth. very easy to feel the point where it's going to break. its turning that plum color older blued Rugers do which i like even though its technically a defect. and i like the aesthetic. brutalism-esque. Beautiful in its utilitarianism. and 18rds of 9x19 is pretty good for a 40 year old gun.

in other news, I've found a gun I'd really like to own. One problem: its in the UK. So I might be getting into the importing business here soon. I'll have to ponder on it.

Those are built like tanks but compared to their S&W and Beretta and Sig competition they are heavy and UGLY as sin.

As for hidden rifling, my Grandad carried a little Llama .22lr revolver for years and loaded it with ratshot and hollow points.

I don't think it was really cleaned in 40+ years. I remember looking it over one day and noting that the rifling was not visible on certain parts of the 2 inch barrel.

I wouldn't carry my CZ75 or 5906, but that's because full-sized pistols (even newer striker guns with poly frames) are a pain in the ass to carry concealed, not because I have reliability concerns.

My dad has a Ruger P Series. Absolutely indestructible. Great everything gun. It will run literally any ammo you feed it and it's a shame it wasn't adopted. Personally I want one if I don't inherit his

Yep. They're so chunky.

The p89 is the firearm equivalent of the crown Vic. Its a bit spartan but also has a little outdated flair.

It would absolutely fuck hard as a daily driver today with a Rowland 960 conversion and a long barrel

That's why real S&W fans get the 5903. Aluminum frame and a steel slide.

Can get it for $350-$540 all day.

The aluminum frames versions are awesome, and the stainless versions are good.

The bluing is noted to be.... Mediocre.

They also made an economy model that was getting close to Ruger levels of fit and finish.

S&W was aggressive marketing them but afaik no bigger discount than any other gun maker.

The one they sold almost at cost was the Sigma aka the S&W Glock clone they eventually lost a lawsuit over and the settlement let Glock build a new wing on their HQ for free.

I'm looking at a itty bitty Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless for my ULTRA deep Carry needs. I honestly want 2. One to carry and one to make look brand new. Only thing is they're getting more and more expensive 🥺

The new S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is small and may be the best .380 subcompact on the market today.
