Weapons sperging general

10mm

Greatest hand gun round ever or great hand gun round?

I'd like to sperg a bit, 10mm is a meme but it's also a damned good round. I'm a huge wild cat faggot though. My second favorite is 7.62x25, after shooting it out of 16" barrel you can't not love it. Tracers look like star wars laser blasts and can shred 95% of armor. It's cheap and easy to load as well.

As far what I carry? semi wad cutter 230g 10mm +P+ because reloader.

10mm auto seriously fucks shit up. We only got .40 S&W because female FBI agents bitched about recoil.

It wasn't just the female agents. Unlike most police agencies, FBI agents must be college graduates. At the time, most college graduates grew up in urban areas, which means not many new agents had experience with firearms before entering the academy. Having new agents start out with a stout caliber like 10mm was not a good idea. So even the male agents were having difficulties with the round. That, and the pistol the FBI was issuing, the Smith and Wesson 1076, was a BIG pistol and it was difficult for smaller agents to use effectively.

10mm Auto is my favorite semi-auto pistol cartridge and I'm planning on getting something chambered in it for my carry gun. My all time favorite pistol cartridge is .41 Magnum.

Time for the age old argument.

is the en bloc clip or stripper clip superior?

Use? En bloc
Loading: Stripper

I typed out this long rant that even in a thread that promotes weapon autism, I felt ashamed of.

En bloc is quicker to use, but a bitch to get the rounds in right. That being said, if I were going to war and my only choices for a rifle were a bolt action with stripper clips or a Garand with en blocs, I'd take the Garand.
 
Did the first day of an apple seed shoot today, shot like shit. Hopefully do better tomorrow. Might shoot my AR 15 instead of my 22 tomorrow, the comb height on my 10/22 is shit for shooting prone.

Ayyy for fuck sakes. Has science gone too far? You be the judge
 
Picked up the lower for my son's AR. It's a Seekins Precision lower and Little Dude picked it out himself. The lower for my AR is on top, Little Dude's is on the bottom.

For recreational shooting, I think stripper clip is better than enbloc clip because you generally can't top off enbloc-fed rifles with loose rounds.
 
This is a false dichotomy, because there are two kinds of stripper clips. Are we talking about the kind that is just used to hold bullets to insert into the gun (the more common type nowadays,) or the kind that is actually inserted into the gun's magazine, then ejected later by the action?

This is really throwing me off because I've never seen a rifle that holds a stripper clip. Are you mixing up en blocs with strippers?

Whoops, that's what I meant. Yeah, there are two kinds of en bloc clips.
 
I eventually want to start collecting old battle rifles. I plan on getting a nice M1 Garand, an FN SAFN/FN-49 in either 8mm Mauser or .30-06, and either a Ljungman AG42 in 6.5mm Swedish Mauser or a Hakim in 8mm Mauser. The Ljungman and Hakim are essentially the same design, but the Hakim is in 8mm Mauser and was made in Egypt.

since the first time i shot my 1911 it has been stovepiping every other fucking magazine, and after taking it to a gunsmith near me it turns out the damn thing has a defect and won't feed right. i'm just trading it in for a canik TP-9 SA. seems like a pretty nice gun so i figure why not. now i gotta wait until tuesday since my purchased was delayed. the TP-9 comes wih a bunch of shit though; a cleaning rod, an extra magazine, a holster, and a magazine loader

it's kinda a bummer the 1911 was shit but TP-9 seems TP-fine

My dad's 1911 chambered in 9mm used to have a comparable stovepiping rate, at least once every other mag. For the longest time, I assumed that John Browning could do no wrong, so I thought that I must have somehow been at fault for firing it too fast or something. But then he got a 1911 chambered in .45 ACP the way John Browning intended it, and never had issues with that piece.

1911s can be finicky. If you want one that will be reliable you always want to buy one made from a reputable manufacturer KNOWN from their 1911s, like Springfield, Colt, STI, Les Baer, etc. Also, you always want to invest as much money as you can into it, and it's best to stick with stout rounds like .45, 10mm, and .38 Super. As with everything in life; you get what you pay for.

Caniks are real nice, I've yet to meet a CZ75 platform clone I don't fucks with.

@The Dude little dude gets the "glove" trigger guard and you gotta use regular? Proof of a loving father!

So I need "bad" influences, sold left over car parts and most went to AUG fund but I'm thinking, I don't own a TT-33 that's a bad thing right? I should fix it right? I own 2 others in 7.62x25. Or should I wait for my local shop get's the FEG hi powers?
