Uh?

It's simply that bad an idea Josh. Guns are mechanical things, they aren't like the computers. They aren't out to get you.

Most people think Blackpowder is just a huge mess to clean up. they usually say you have to take a gun completely apart and deep clean after every range trip. With the proper loads, this is not the case.

observe:

This cartridge was loaded with 40 grains of black powder and a 255 grain .454 cal round nose flat point. No gas escaped around the case and back into the action of the revolver. This is due to this load generating enough pressure to expand and form to the chamber, forming a seal and forcing all gas and fouling down the barrel.

With a load such as the above the only parts of the revolver that is fouled (and thus needing cleaning) is the barrel, cylinder face, forcing cone and muzzle area.

Wash barrel and cylinder with hot water, as hot as you are comfortable with (hot water evaporates quickly. just makes cleaning easier).
Use patches on barrel until they come out clean which should only be 4-5 passes at most (once BP fouling is wet it just wipes away easily). I don't normally use patches anymore. I use regular kitchen paper towels. Rip of a section, fold it up until you have to force down the bore with a cleaning rod. A tight fit like that seems to clean the bore much faster.

Wipe muzzle area with rag or paper towel damp with hot water until clean. Then dry gun and bore (with hot enough water it evaporates almost immediately anyway) and oil. I prefer Ballistol. it's good for wood stocks and grips too!

I only disassemble and deep clean once or twice a year.

Being a troon was taken out of the DSMV for political reasons nonetheless it was. Appeals court and SCOTUS are gonna fuck this in the ass.

Just put it back on

The fact that a cabal of shrinks that claims a man cutting off his dick is actually very sane, healthy behavior effectively gets to dictate to the federal government who is mentally capable of owning a gun is the more fundamental problem. On a whole lot of these core issues, unelected technocrats actually make the decisions.

The law shouldn't defer to the DSM.

If it's such a problem the trannies can make their push to get rid of the 4473 as a whole while they're at it so I can mail order shotguns again.

The White House or the Feds for that matter aren’t the ones who do that.

@Null sounds like you might like a double action/single action pistol with a decocker of some kind. Your first trigger pull (when the hammer isn't cocked) requires a lot more force than usual, which makes the first shot less pleasant but is practically impossible to go off with anything less than deliberate force. Every shot after that will be much smoother and require a normal amount of force.

It lets you get comfortable with carrying with one in the chamber, you can still fire when you need to, and it's a better compromise than carrying with a blank chambered. Course you've got a glock so that's not really something you can pull off, but if you ever get sick of it you could probably trade it in for a decent one. There's a lot of old but good and sturdy da/sa handguns that you could get a good price for if some faggot hasn't already scalped the inventory again. Sick of these fucks calling a common gun from the mid-eighties 'collectible'.

I really regret not getting a gun that had a button press safety because I do not like that it can be fired with just the trigger without any confirmation when starting to shoot. I don't understand why this is unacceptable. I didn't know guns were made without button safeties.

It's not unacceptable it's just a different mindset. Glocks are often sold without any safety's to law enforcement due to the extra training fumbling with safety's entail.

A firearm is a tool so each tool should have a purpose. If you are backpacking or hunting with a firearm in the woods you should probably have a safety because it is feasible to accidentally depress the trigger. If you are pulling out a pistol from your bed side table at 3:00 am will you have a sound mind to make sure your safety is off.

While you can train yourself to go through motions so you can function under pressure it's generally simpler to go. This is a tool for dispatching people in a high stress situation so I would like less failure points for myself.

Personally I still stick with hammer fired pistols because not seeing the mechanical action and feeling it still gets me stressed when appendix carrying

Double action/singles are great for still having tactile feedback and the extra peace of mind to have your thumb on the hammer when holstering so you can feel of the trigger is caught. And personally revolvers are still a great tool for concealed carry and the simplicity of pull the trigger and it goes bang. If you are concealed carrying id suggested a bobbed hammer as it's better to not get caught in clothing.

 

[Club Sandwich]

delete the completely unnecessary buffer tube from the AR9

CMMG Dissent, or various other "side charger" 9mm uppers on the market. Quarter Circle used to make them as did Olympic Arms way back when. heck, you can just buy the upper from Gun Builder's Depot which usually sells tools but recently moved to upper kits.

 

[Verdun_Salient]

Are there any good exercises or ways to train yourself to figure out distance accurately without a rangefinder.

If one wants to build an acurate clone of the AR from the alpha version of Rust, CDNN currently has the sights in stock for less than $20. I don't know how "good" they may be, but I've spent more on worse things.

For the autismos heres my attempt at a clone.
Stock: B5 Systems Bravo AR-15 Stock OD Green
Pistol Grip: Modular Pistol Grip with Interchangeable Finger Inserts for AR-15 OD green preferred
Forend: KAC M4 RAS Forend Assembly with two OD green rail covers cut in half
Upper: PSA Complete 5.56x45mm Left Hand Upper Receiver for it to be REALLY cursed
Lower: Literally anything. Use a B.A.D lever since in the game the character slaps the right side of the gun (OMG a real use for a B.A.D lever and its for this!!!).
Barrel: Maybe a 12.5in or 14.5in? I think 12.5 would complete the look better.
Front Sight Post: Front Sight Base F - FSB (ID .750) - Milspec for Flat Top Uppers or Smith & Wesson M&P15 Front Sight Assembly You can probably try to find a barrel with this attached for it to be easier.
Muzzle device: Hard to say what they tried to model it off so for basic bitch I'll go AR-STONER A2 Flash Hider, for style points lets just say Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor Assembly
Here is my reference photo,

I guess as a bonus add a 512 some sort of stupid railmount/adapter that wouldn't be needed.
I hope some sick fuck builds this, enjoy.

Buy a Springfield Hellcat. They're very Glock like basically G43 size and available with a manual safety. Plus they hold 11+1 rounds with the flush magazine. They aren't a bad gun, I have one and I'd EDC it if my CSX-E wasn't available (the CSX-E is also a good option, it's just more expensive, larger, and hammer fired unlike a Glock).

This is like the revolver version of the AK from Elysium.

 

[Lime]

with a blank in the chamber is a fair compromise? that way you don't have to rack it but if it misfires it poses no threat

A blank round still has a lot of power behind it with the compressed gas coming out of the barrel. It can lead to serious injury under a negligent discharge while it's close to your body. And you need to check if it would actually cycle the firearm since blanks often have weird powder loads.

 

[WelperHelper99]

If Josh is worried, he should get a revolver. The safety is the trigger pull being heavy. And 38 special ain't no slouch. Load it up with the FBI load and you're gtg. 357 magnum definitely isn't weak either. Considering he has a single stack Glock, going to a S&W J-frame or a Colt Cobra wouldn't be thar big of a drop in ammo. That and they are PURE Americana

 

[Boney]

Maybe. Your distrust of electronic machines is pretty famous. Having a gun means putting some confidence in it.

Having a blank loaded is actually a crazy notion.
Israeli carry is just not a good idea.

 

[God's drunkest driver]

I don't know why so many are autistically against thumb safeties. I personally won't AIWB carry anything without a thumb safety, even though I have carried guns without them in shoulder holsters and 3:00-5:00 carry. It just so happens that a majority of my guns have a safety so all of my training has made the operation second nature. Yeah, I get it, good holster, yada yada, just shut up and let people prefer a safety if they want to.

 

[sodomy lifestyle]

Wow you guys are fucking annoying

Ok, relax for a moment chief. This is a thread for likely mentally unsound gun autists with limited chill, and you came in sounding like a clueless liberal who believes that the AR in AR-15 actually stands for "assault rifle". My most charitable interpretation was that you were acting like a mong due to inebriation, but I will treat your questions seriously now.

I israeli carry and people chew me out on it but I was wondering if maybe carrying with a blank in the chamber is a fair compromise? that way you don't have to rack it but if it misfires it poses no threat

Israeli carry is dumb if you believe you will / might need to defend your life with the firearm. Unless you're willing to live being constantly prepared to use your weapon, it needs to be ready to fire with minimal manipulation if and when you're caught off-guard. And as others have stated, carrying a blank won't work because it is almost guaranteed not to produce enough energy to cycle the firearm. The closest alternative I could suggest would be chambering a less-lethal round, but those aren't typically available on the civilian market (depends on country though), might still have cycling issues, and are very lethal if you catch one at point-blank distance.

I really regret not getting a gun that had a button press safety because I do not like that it can be fired with just the trigger without any confirmation when starting to shoot. I don't understand why this is unacceptable. I didn't know guns were made without button safeties.

If purchasing a firearm with a manual safety is not an option, see if trigger blocks like this are available for your model. The most important point is that the block reaches in front of the trigger so you can realistically disengage it by placing your finger within the trigger guard without complex manipulation. Personally I believe that ideally the block has to be made of soft material so that you can override it with massive trigger pressure, like over 20 pounds or so. Still better than having a firearm rendered completely inoperable if you cannot remove the block in an unforeseeable emergency situation.

If no blocks are available, the only other option I can think of off-hand is installing a heavier hammer / striker spring to stiffen the trigger pull. Wolff sells increased power springs for most popular firearms.

Apart from mechanical solutions, another important component is to get a holster that prevents accidental manipulation of the firearm. It needs to have a hard plastic or metal sheath that covers the trigger guard area, and a rigid entryway to prevent any part of the holster from catching the trigger, which typically happens when the firearm is inserted inside the holster.

What the fuck is going on with the trigger plug/block suggestions swirling around? This is an awful set up.
