Thoughts?

If you're dead set on a .380 subcompact, don't worry about sights too much.

You can point your fingers surprisingly accurately without even directly looking at something. Same principle works for guns. In the vast majority of defensive scenarios you're shooting at under 7yds so you don't even have much time to be aiming anyway. Practice drawing and point firing at close ranges and work on your speed and accuracy doing so.

If you're really worried about the quality of your iron sights, then you should probably give some extra thought about getting a gun that can mount a micro red dot instead.

the bigger issue is SB 704, which requires FFL transfer of firearm barrels, a wearing part.

hands/pawls and ratchets are fitted together. generally you have an over-sized hand that is filed to fit a ratchet, and the ratchet is in turn fitted to a cylinder. if you are binding on only one cylinder with the hand (which works with all other positions), then you need to gently file the right-side of the tooth for that cylinder to achieve the correction position at 12 o'clock. if the cylinder doesn't move far enough counter-clockwise, a blob of silver solder is used to build up the tooth for re-profiling.

generally it's filed square in the lock up position on the right hand surface.

That’s what I ended up having to do. I tried to file a little more off the hand but it was still binding up on the one cylinder. So I carefully filled on that one tooth until it finally would allow the hammer to cock. It’s all good now, locks up on every cylinder stop.

On the bright side I’m getting better at putting this revolver back together - I only had to chase down the rebound spring 3 times. Managed to find it every time it flew across my garage. I finally got smart and would only compress it in the kitchen. I think I’m going to have to buy the spring tool: https://www.brownells.com/tools-cleaning/gun-tools/handgun-tools/sw-rebound-slide-spring-tool/

We should unironically bring back corporal punishments like public flogging and the pillory. The problem is Jews have decided the 8th amendment which was supposed to prevent things like drawing and quartering to just mean that consequences are unconstitutional.

Public stockade would be great for social correction for things like jaywalking, running red lights, noise violations, and other "social deficiencies". Put someone out in the stockade for a week, out in the open and accessible by everyone, forced to soil themselves if they need to use the restroom, and fed bland shit like bread or oatmeal twice a day. They'll be allowed access to all the water they'd need. Anyone would be allowed to come up and mess with them, kick them in the ass, piss in their face, rub dog feces all over them. People would be encouraged to come and mock them, laugh in their face, remind them that they're there because of their anti-social behavior. I guarantee you it would go a long way towards getting most people to start behaving like decent, respectable people and follow the rules and abide the social contract like everyone did in the old days. Public shaming and humiliation.

Edit: I've scored myself four (technically five) mags for the F22 so far. I've got the one BX-25 X2, the one HC Mags HC3R, and now two standard BX-25s. I got enough Optics Planet rewards points from getting my Primary Arms optic to order a BX-25 two-pack. I'm having a lot of fun with this project. Can't wait to get some trigger time with it.

Hi guys, any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have a decent amount of shooting experience and have taken training classes. However, I have not owned before and am looking to get my first handgun. I've been doing research for the last month or so and have it narrowed down to two;

I have smaller hands and overall frame.
I'm in the process of getting my CC and would like to get something very compact that.

I found great deals on the;
-Luger LCP (in Flat Dark Earth)
$185
View attachment 8024478
-Luger LCP Max
$215
View attachment 8024479

I know the obvious differences such as capacity and grip width. I've held both and I would say they are both equally comfortable in my hand. My only real concern is the sights (or lack of) on the LCP. I've been trying to do some research on how they can be upgraded.
It's something I'm hoping to have and last a long time and I plan on doing a lot of range training with it.

Thoughts?

I feel like the logical thing would be the LCP Max, but just being honest I absolutely love and prefer the look of LCP in FDE color scheme. Yeah, I know, it's a tool and I shouldn't care about that lol

Thanks in advance for the input.

They are difficult to learn as a first gun, but make a great carry pistol.

Small guns are more difficult to shoot and not for novices. Buy a lcp but also get a full size .22lr or. 9mm to learn on. Ruger mk4 is good,

Or get a Glock 42 in .380acp for Carry and a Glock 44 in .22lr to learn on

This is only true because despite LCPs being awful to actually fire, carry pistols are not being fired 99.99% of the time. I'd rather have a concealed carry bus pass than an LCP, because with the bus pass I can leave and not have to fire an LCP.

What's everyone's thoughts on Sticky Holsters? I grabbed one to use temporarily while I wait for the holster my buddy recommended me to come in at the store.
It seems reliable enough for IWB carry, but it feels a little sketchy when I'm sitting. I honestly love it as a pocket carry holster when I'm wearing cargo pants.

something i don't understand are the people that install the "lightly angled" vertical grip swept back. i've only ever used (and seen used professionally) where it's angled forward, much like a Romanian dong grip. broom-handle and early gangster grips were usually just straight vertical, with the swept back ones being used for lack of a better option. it's why early QD vertical grips had a little wedge to reuse the A2 grip as a vertical grip.

Yeah I wasn't paying attention and just realized looking at it again got it backwards.

Eventually you realize they aren’t actually useful and they end up in a bin collecting dust.

Only exception is on a hand guard that is too short to get a normal grip like an MP5 K.

i found them decent on carbines to "hook" onto ledges or to pull against when clearing buildings. i do agree they weren't very useful on rifles though unless it was something like the SAW which was quite heavy and you were better off with the grip-pod or the QD FN grip you could sometimes find.

They can work in certain situations, but they also get in the way in other situations. They don’t really help at all shooting off hand with 5.56 guns.

Any kahr fans? I hear there name jostled about from time to time, hear the all stainless models are nice however all the pm models I hear are jam o matics with the exception of the 40s for some reason

I am not a fan, but I do own one and have owned a couple and they gave me no trouble. I have a kahr 380 and before all of the double stack pocket 380s came out (as below) I considered it the best pocket 380 by far since it has a decent trigger, real sights, is stainless steel, and has been reliable. It's basically obsolete for my usage now but it's still a fine gun.

I wouldn't even consider an LCP at this point in time. There is basically no drawback to the max over the single stack LCP and numerous drawbacks the other way around. I wouldn't get a pocket gun as my only gun if I could help it, and I'd get a bodyguard 2.0 over an LCP max. Also, it's a pocket gun. Destined to be trapped in an ventilated, moist, sometimes salty place. Get the stainless steel slide, not some retarded cerakote type finish because it is a color other than black or silver.

 

[Club Sandwich]

original LCP works great for a gym gun or in any situation where snagging can be an issue (come pants/hoodies just aren't draw-friendly if you're forced to pocket carry). i would also think the smoother profile of an LCP might make it a decent option for purse carry too.

no one should ever pocket or purse carry if it's at all avoidable.

 

[The Dude]

Been looking at 10/22 chassis to upgrade my F22 pistol. This one really caught my eye. It actually rigidly mounts the receiver to the stock via the rear takedown pin to combat the barrel sag and frame flex the 10/22 sometimes get, especially with a heavier bull barrel mounted. Not really something I'd need to worry about with the F22 since it's basically a Charger pistol, but I do like the overall design of the chassis.

An LCP max doesn't?

I never encountered a sights snagging issue practicing draws whether it was in my dress slacks (my P380 was my primary carry in my non permissive office for years) or the athletic shorts or track pants I would wear going to a gym. LCPs were the go to cheap pocket gun* for years but the marginal increase in size and many benefits of the LCP max make the LCP obsolete in the modern context. Especially an icepick round like .380acp, you'd be nuts to not choose 4 extra rounds over a very marginal size reduction imo. LCPs are notoriously cheap anyway and the blued and cerakote finishes are not ideal for longevity in sweaty pockets. That's the one thing I don't like about my bodyguard 2.0 over my old Kahr that it replaced, I do not have faith in the finish holding up like a stainless slide, I'm just hoping it's better quality than Ruger's finishes but time will tell.

*the far less popular Kahr P380 and CW380 are better in every way

 

[Club Sandwich]

An LCP max doesn't?

compare the sight profile while wearing running shorts and imagine trying to draw it on a thin windbreaker or something. now imagine someone not as proficient as you are during presentation or draw, who generally does some slow fire at the bench once a month or so.

 

[Taser Confetti]

This is only true because despite LCPs being awful to actually fire, carry pistols are not being fired 99.99% of the time. I'd rather have a concealed carry bus pass than an LCP, because with the bus pass I can leave and not have to fire an LCP.

The LCP is about as cheap and small as you can make a gun and still be useful. The first gen LCP was going for under 200USD last I saw - seems like the Max and Pro are higher quality however.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

am i retarded for zeroing my .30-06 at 25 yards? +2.4 in at 100 yards and +0.4 at 200 yards. Shots past 200 are not in the equation and the vast majority of deer taken here are at less than 100.

Not sure about the Max, but I had a Gen1 LCP and it was one of the most uncomfortable guns I have ever fired.

It was snappy, the grip was too small to get a good purchase on and the trigger is one of the worst I have experienced. Every shot felt like it was trying to escape my hand. I think the new gen ones have better triggers but that doesn't help the size issue. I have shot subcompact 10mm's that handled better. I ended up giving it away to someone as I just didn't want it hanging around and I would have felt bad selling it to someone.

I assure you, you will not want to do a lot of range training with it, it's the kind of gun you carry with the hopes of not having to use.

If you are set on getting a .380, get a Glock 42. If you want something that's of a similar-ish size and just an all round better gun, get a Glock 43. You'll get far more mileage out of either one and you have a much bigger aftermarket if you want to mess around with it. A P365 also wouldn't be a bad choice.
