Accepting late submissions
If anyone has an idea, please give me an idea for a challenge or otherwise there won’t be one. I want to do a bill drill challenge with video proof but not everyone can do bills with shot timers and holster draws
>>
>>64834229
Yeah if you do a bill drill challenge you'll get maybe a half dozen participants because it's not allowed at most ranges and frankly I couldn't be bothered to set up a camera, record it, blur myself, convert it to webm, and upload it here. Too much effort.

They're not gonna do it because 90% of the people here would look like absolute shit and not be able to back up most of their other shooting claims.

I guess I should have listed reasons, no reason not to
- The Romeo RS Compact Clear's window has lots of red aberrations in sunlight, likely because of the clear housing causing refraction and reflections, pic related, you see this at every angle except just around the dot, or when the optic is in shadow the aberrations are minimized. You see almost nothing at all on the Holosun except the dot
- Battery tray is not waterproof; no IP rating
- No click adjustment, this is the biggest ding imo to have to fish around in mush to adjust zero in the year of our Lord 2026
- Housing around lens is taller and wider yet basically same window size as 407K. Also the deck is higher
- One button, minor ding, doesn't really matter, but you cycle up and down with a single button so you won't be adjusting brightness in a hurry
- Blue lens tint, another minor ding, doesn't really matter and I don't care all that much but again most of the competition is past the crutch of using severe notch filters in the current year
All in all it's not BAD, especially at $160 or whatever it's a pretty good value. It works, it's cheap, it's cool. But 407Ks go on sale for like $170 so it's just worse in comparison because that's a much BETTER value

Yeah, it is super thick and I'd lose all co witness. I at least have a bit of cowitness with what I have and it's cheap promo shit (pic related). Thanks for the deets.
I should probably get an enclosed optic, I'm unsure whether I it would be better to wait for reviews to come out on the EPS core or if I should just snag it as soon as it's back in stock. I have a very minor astigmatism though and I want to see the different size dots in person to gauge the effect if I'm going to spend more on a good optic.

I tried doing a broomhandle btw but the sights min at something like 50 yards so it aimed so high I had to point the sight bellow the target to compensate
This is about as good as it could go
I’ll compensate better next time but target shooting with a worn broomhandle was kind of fanciful anyways

It rains way too goddamn much all year round, winters are either the grim frostbitten vvoods that black metal songs are made ov or unreasonably mild, but it has the other stuff you are asking for.

Probably GA or SC (I live in NC). You'll still get snow and surprise freezes, and when you DO get snow or ice, everything grinds to a halt. It's not much better desu. I'm in NC and I'm good with snow and ice driving because I spent time in Finland with family as a boy, but I stay in when there's snow and ice on the roads because 95% of drivers are completely clueless spastics any time there's a little bit of powder on the road. The worst are the retards in AWDs and pickup trucks who think that 4WD means you can just drive at normal speeds.

It will be, mostly. I'm gonna try to stick to compact guns that are big enough to be usable but still conceal decently. Training on a full size gun if I never carry one seems silly, and I hate literally every subcompact that has ever been manufactured. I might buy one full size as a range/fun gun.

Why not keep one of the hipster guns that happens to be a compact concealed carry choice? Do you have that? Pocket carry is concealed carry on easy mode; that is a strong consideration no matter what.
>DA/SA
>hipster
Those are exact same things as far as I am concerned. Eurofaggot shit. I like 1911's and 1911 adjacent guns, but when it comes to concealed carry guns, your favorite is the best.
Best option is what ever gun is the best that (you) can shoot the best excluding any other considerations, whether or not you actually own that gun. Don't be afraid to experiment even if you need to try out someone's else's gun.

It’s a black nitriding thing, the cosmetic appearance gets fucked. Whatever nighthawk ans DW do to get an even finish and glossy in nighthawk’s case gets fucked by most solvents. They say a black nitrided gun actually doesn’t need to be cleaned that well since how corrosive resistant black nitride is so raping your gun with solvents isn’t needed

You are a pathetic waste of space. listen to Cadence Owen on how to actually shoot a gun properly or something

So I did a steel challenge match for the first time.
Great fun. Was in the top 10 for center fire and almost won the draw category (of 5 people) despite drawing from concealment and the other guy drawing from a competition rig. Great use of 4 hours to only shoot for 4 minutes, I now know of so many things I need to work on for my shooting.

Problem with the 10mm setup is it's REALLY difficult if not impossible to cram the mag to capacity. Something about the case geometry, idk, the 7.5s go in no problem to 16 rounds but 10mm starts getting hard after 10 rounds and becomes almost impossible at 12+. It doesn't matter for a range gun, but if you were carrying one you'd have the bulk of an extra inch of empty mag. idk if the Compact fixed this
9mm mags go to 17 easy though, and as long as you use very spicy ammo works great for just blasting on the cheap

According to gun.deals, I can MAYBE save $10 each after shipping/transfer, which isn't worth it imo. For reference, I'm shopping on GrabAGun which is listed on gun.deals and I can pick up locally.

Get a better prescription. I'm a pilot and have 20/20 vision, they never test you for stigmata for your medical though. As I've aged I've developed a worsening astigmatism but am still 20/20. During night flying all of the little lights are little smears and it's annoying, though not really that problematic. I got a set of prescription glasses for night flying (and driving) that make all of the lights from smears to almost perfect little orbs like they should be. You need to go to an eye doc that has a machine that measures the roundness of your eye instead of just the typical "is lens one or lens two better"

I liked the idea of having a shooting challenge for small guns. Like, it’s gotta be smaller than a Glock 19. Would still need to determine a course of fire, though.
I don’t think people will do mozambique/bill drill related challenges, because most ranges won’t allow it. Also, because practically nobody here owns a shot timer, it becomes a question of honesty, too

i haven't shot my gen6 yet but i am a longtime p30 owner. they are super different guns. i'm not a guy who is sensitive to triggers (my glocks are all stock) but the p30's is like horrifically bad. unless you really, specifically want a hammer fired HK, get the glock.

Anyone bought a pistol from Bass Pro before? My work just gave me $500 in gift cards and I have a few hundred burning a hole in my pocket so I figured I'd buy a new pistol. I wouldn't say no to a rifle but it all looks like fudd shit on their site.
Is Bass Pro legit for pistol sales?

I bought from Cabela's using the same flow, they ship to your local store, send email, and then you can pick up and do 4473. They are a bit more uptight than regular FFL and have you sign weird stuff like, "I understand how to operate this firearm safely" and they throw in an extra trigger lock. They might be dealing with a lot of first time buyers.
>Is Bass Pro legit for pistol sales?
New ones are typically msrp, but they tend to have good deals used.

I kinda want to make up my own meme target/challenge. I have some ideas, but I've never designed a shooting course before. I'm worried it'll either be too easy, too hard, or it'll be too much of a meme and no one will want to do it.

It is indeed DAO, but if you train with it enough you get used to it. I used to do archery regularly as well, so I guess drawing with the same fingers helps with grip strength or something?
Still gonna do this challenge, just not in the allotted time. Gotten sick, so no range trips for a week at least.
>>64837570
if some shitter is comin at you, less stuff to fumble with while in a panic is always better. Unless you have arthritis or some other ailment making 8lbs of index finger force impossible to work through, DAO/decocker is perfectly valid.

Because I would buy a .45 1911/2011 if I was going to carry hammer cocked. The USP with a trigger job and the upgrades is close to 1911 performance but the 1911 trigger is still better.
If you’re carrying cocked and locked you bought the wrong gun IMO. Hammer down is a great way to carry since almost foolproof safety wise. You can reholster with the force of 1000 suns as long as you perform hammer control.

>Anyone bought a pistol from Bass Pro before?
Yes, it was a horrible experience overall. Dumbest fuckers I've ever met behind the gun counter. They found a way to make a simple 15-30 minute transaction take upwards of 2 hours. And it's not like it was busy either, there was one other customer there buying a pistol at the same time I was.
I seem to be in the minority though, so it's probably just my local bass pro that's staffed by imbeciles

>>64837325

I will add one positive: they had a reasonable selection of pistols. That's the only reason I was there in the first place, they were the only gun store in my area that had a P30 in stock

that may still be salvageable, seeing as I can shoot two more in the same second.
This reminds me, there should be someplace I could go to practice hip-fire/ firing from retention outside of a LARP or private lessons. I cannot do so at my local range, but I am having difficulty finding public land to shoot on as well. What resources are there to find such locations to practice?
In any case if you are confident in your ability to use a SAO then stick with. I am more confident in my 92 D Centurion than I am my Sig P938.

That's not a USP you stupid illiterate nigger. I'll explain for your dumb ass. USPs come in multiple versions, anon is complaining about the DA pull. USPs are available in DA/SA with safety, DAO, DA/SA with decocker only. The DA trigger pull is irrelevant in most USPs unless you're restriking because you can carry cocked and locked, UNLESS you bought one of the cop models that is DAO or DA/Decocker only; which is big dumb dumb.
>>
>>64837922
>The DA trigger pull is irrelevant in most USPs unless you're restriking because you can carry cocked and locked
NTA but you're assuming people with the V1 USP (DA/SA with safety and decocker) will keep it cocked and locked just because they can. For example I keep my V1 loaded with hammer down and safety off

Bass pro has a really good selection, but an anal processing due to them being one of the largest outdoors stores that sells guns, so expect about 10 minutes of finding the gun you want and 30 minutes-

Takeaway: P250 and USP DA triggers are buns. A USP worth buying is DA/SA and has a safety so there's no good reason to put up with its DA trigger unless you need a restrike which is rare.
BTW USP triggers aren't great in SA either, which is one of the reasons I don't want one enough to pay HK tax for one.

Recommendations for the cheapest red dot that will fit a K-series footprint?
My dad has grip strength issues and is having trouble using irons so he wants to try a red dot for both leverage on the slide and aiming. Yes, I know they're all shit and I've told him so - they break, they don't hold zero, etc. He doesn't care. He just wants to see if he likes shooting a red dot and would rather buy one for the hell of it than go rent one at a range.

>when you say cheap, how cheap do you mean
Like airshit/amazon cheap, preferably $80 or below.
>>64839056
If he puts half a dozen mags through his gun with the red dot on there and discovers that he can rack the slide and doesn't have to struggle with the irons then he's more than willing to drop a few hundred bucks on a good one. I think he'd rather just spend the money on a toy than deal with the potential hassle of returning or reselling a more expensive sight if it turns out that he does not in fact like shooting a red dot.
>>
>>
>>64839066
FYI, you might want to look in to the Smith and Wesson Equalizer/Shield EZ, which are made specifically for people with lower grip strength. Or just get a revolver.
Tell your dad to not look for the dot, just hold the gun in front of him and look through the glass at the target. The dot should just appear in his field of vision. Don't look for the dot.
Don't look for the dot.

>>64839075
>FYI, you might want to look in to the Smith and Wesson Equalizer/Shield EZ, which are made specifically for people with lower grip strength.
Yeah, he looked at one of those recently.

He's been accumulating revolvers for about half a century at this point.
>Tell your dad to not look for the dot, just hold the gun in front of him and look through the glass at the target. The dot should just appear in his field of vision. Don't look for the dot.
>Don't look for the dot.
Already did that. He's done everything but actually get some range time with a gun that has one and he asked me to find him something cheap to play around with before deciding if he wants to spend a few hundred bucks on a good one.
The main reason I asked here instead of just ordering something is that I figured there might be some lurking giga-poorfag who can point me in the direction of a poverty-tier sight with the correct slide cut so that's one less thing I have to do.

The choice being made isn't that crimson trace I got as part of a promo when I bought the gun OR a romeo clear, it's a romeo clear vs everything else on the market in that sub $300 ish. Right now the EPS Core is winning. The plastic CT red dot has worked fine to acclimate me to using a pistol optic and has lasted 7-800 rounds now without any issues like losing zero, now it has lived out its useful life and is being replaced. I just like that romeo clear because of the pics.

USP should be a $1500 gun.
It doesn’t filter out the poors enough.
No one I know has ever missed a shot with a USP because it’s simply that accurate. You would have to purposefully shoot beside the target to miss.

We are really spoiled by how good modern handguns are. Some 30 years ago just being reliable for that price would put handgun on a short list. Rumors of guns that don't feed certain kinds of hollow point ammo, needing ramp polishing or break in periods, proprietary mounting rails, heavy ass triggers, have precipitated on the bottom of phpbb forums, full of broken links to imageshack and photobucket. Nowadays we really have to go out of our way to get a shitty gun, but vidiya gamers and milsurp appreciators regularly try go for them still.

No, that was a very wise decision. Now, I don't know about the slide, but you start off with Magpul grip, and can move fcu to a different color/size/aluminum module, and it's Glock gen 3 compatible. How does it shoot? I'm thinking of picking one up as well, with intention to get an Icarus aluminum grip. Gen 3 also never had a 47 style slide that fit on 19 frames like that.

I had a LTT’d HK (gray guns short reset) with match kit (replacing sear spring, trigger spring, and hammer) so the LTT polished hammer strut and trigger bar were still there versus a LTT PX4. The PX4 has a better all around trigger. The LTT HK SA with the match kit I think is better but the PX4’s reset is 2-3mm while the gray guns short reset is way longer. The HK’s DA pull still sucked and the match kit made the reset less positive.
Stock to stock, the PX4 is better. I grade things based on the DA and the SA.

Where dryfire is concerned, the 'wall' is better predictable with the 5.5lb "connector" installed. I wouldn't say it's more defined because swiping the trigger like a DAO feels indistinguishable from a 4.5-pounder.

I was reading about revolvers and based on BBTI, I was determined that my first .357 Magnum would be at least 4". Now, after reading some more, it seems like bullet velocity is also largely affected by the barrel-cylinder gap. Because of this information, I can now afford to buy a 3" revolver without the fear of the loss of too much "stopping powa". Thanks for reading my blog.

$40 is nothing in gun world, if you have to ship it back once you'll have spent that. Just spend the extra money and get something with a known good reputation. Surely you realize how absurd it is for you to be pinching pennies while looking at guns that uses ammo which you'd be lucky to get to your door for under $0.45/round.

Glock/MP/Sig (365 not 320) and plenty of others are all basically the same and offer plenty of modern amenities, just pick the one that feels the best in your hand.

I have a M&P 5.7, three mags for it, it came mounted with a Holosun (it was part of some deal they were doing when the gun first came out so I can't even remember what model it is), and literally 1,000 rounds of 5.7. The gun is unfired. I impulse purchased it, then life got in the way for a few months and when I got back to shooting I regretted my purchase and never touched the thing. Since it's something I am never, ever going to shoot, what would be the best way to dump this thing and the ammo? The ammo is taking up space in my safe I could definitely use for other shit in particular.
I am not really looking to haggle, nor deal with an FFL, or any of that. Would going to a "We buy guns." place be a decent shot? The ammo alone (before they mark it up) is worth $400, then the gun is worth at least $600 due to the nature of it the red dot. I am thinking I could get 800-850 altogether (with the box, and the mags, of course).

It might not accept certain aftermarket picatinny rail adapters as a result. Similar deal with rounded vs squared trigger guard versions

Welcome to /k/, where the fuck have you been the last few decades these guns existed?

Gee, I wonder why people like Beretta
>>
>>64841502
Yes and no. They are the new CZs since tuning them up is very cost effective and they are quite cheap sometimes. CZs have gone up in price while beretta hasn’t really increased that much.
It wasn’t until that gay guy with the thin wrists and gloves did the beretta group get annoying

Seems like a non-issue. If you wanted a rail there are versions with a rail.

man you're really spiraling. Someone points out that your obsession over an extremely minor difference is autistic and that there seems to be a lot of this behavior centered around Beretta pistols lately and you start melting down, throwing insults, and strawmanning as hard as humanly possible. I don't even dislike your precious 92, it's pretty cool. I just think you're being a fag about it, like the boomer fucks who masturbate over their HK date codes.

My 92 doesn't have a rail, but it still works and would rather not sell it so that I could get flashlight/laser/trucknuts options for it. Plus my shoulder holster didnt come with accessory space, and I saw the EZ Rail just snaps right on and off.

So there's no problem then. You already have what you want and the new one has a change. That happens when you're into guns, get used to it. I still don't see what the issue is.
>accessory I want doesn't fit it
you can buy one that it does fit
>no rail
you can buy one with a rail

Hmm. S&W is on a run. Thought I remembered it being a bodyguard, maybe it’s .380
