Ruger PCC. 9mm and takes glawk mags. My entry for best old lady home-defense blaster.

You are awesome sir. You now have the whole set.

Most recent build.
Found a very abused 870 SP, in nine shades of Krylon.
Said 'Nope". Offered 150.

Got it.
The stock plastic furniture was done. Bulged from the solvents, and, well, "plastic".

Found a set of hideous laminate furniture on fleabay for $15.00
I can sand this. And, it's laminate wood. basically indestructible.

Then I walked into a gun shop and said "I have $100.00 and want the shortest legal barrel I can own, for a remmy 870" *while waving five $20 dollar bills round^

Then I decided to have it refinished. The "Special Purpose" 870's were from the factory, camoflauged. nd rather well done. But the muppet before me had decided to lather this one with OD green. Since he was a motherfucking muppet, who knows.

So I paid someone 100.00 to blast the nastyness off it, and cerakote it, and two tubes, matte black.

You may have fumbled with the rifle clays, but you sure made it up with the poppers on the next stage. Good job mayne

  >>109129
Thanks dude. I did a bunch of pistol dry fire practice the day before, and it really paid off. One thing, on that last stage with the steel shooting gallery, I could actually feel the difference in weight and recoil as my magazines emptied. I basically counted off the last 3 rounds before the slide locked back. Never noticed that before. Shit happens when you're in "the zone".

Regarding dry practice, when I was practicing with the pistol I was focusing on my grip and trigger pull... to the microscopic level.

- More tension on the ring and pinky fingers
- Get the beavertail centered into the web of the hand
- The force from the trigger pull is between the first knuckle of the finger and the middle of the web of the hand...

One other thing I practiced the day before was left shoulder rifle handling, including loading the rifle, and reaching behind my back to get the magazine on my left hip. That went so well at 1:28 in the video it's hardly noticeable.

If you've got a long drive, check out the Primary and Secondary modcast on Tactical Gamers. They're a bunch of MIL/LEO guys who got into competitive shooting to grow as shooters. One of the things they discuss is that competitive shooting does wonders for your "processing speed", and how instinctual handling of the gun frees your mind to process your situation and surroundings.

Ernest Langdon is on the modcast and describes his first USPSA grand master win. He said it was the slowest run he's ever had. Then when they read the time, he beat everyone. But in his mind, everything was in slow motion.

Piece of shit magazine "VP9 20 2". I cleaned it thoroughly afterward and it worked.

  Second! Also, golf-cart drive by.

  Fifth, so pretty good. I think I lost a shitload of time on the death star. The stage brief said we had to shoot at it at least two times before going to the shotgun. Also stoppage on the VP9 >>109180

Good question.
Loading 7.65x17mmSR Browning into a double-column 9x18mm Makarov magazine may be problematic.

It's better to just buy a CZ83.
That's how big a hassle it is.

You might get the old tube out with no fuckups, and you might get the new one in as well as the old.

My two bits-
"Please don't". Just buy what you want. This is not a 1911 where you can mix and match.

>>109089
post a picture of you CZ. I ay be able to help.

Looks like a Hi-Point. Wait, it IS a Hi-point! Feh!
Don't much care for zinc alloy pot metal in my guns. And I have three guns that have brass barrels (a .60 smooth-barrel flintlock pistol, a 10 gauge flintlock blunderbuss and a 63mm flintlock grenade launcher).
- Hi-Point C9 YEET CANNON G1 9mm, 3.5" Barrel, 8rd.

If I ever get to buy a handgun and get to choose which one, I'll buy a Hi-Point, for sure.

I'm probably going to get it simply because it's funny. Also, Hi-Point's policy of "An affordable working gun for every American." is something I support.

>6.5 CM will stay supersonic longer and is less affected by wind. But as always, everything is a compromise. 6.5 CM is a good tradeoff between velocity, bullet weight, ballistic coefficient (BC), felt recoil, and barrel life. You can drive a bullet faster with a super bottlenecked cartridge, but it will burn out barrels.

That's still 6.5 and not 6.8 tho, why does the Army want 6.8 specifically? And why enlarge the diameter and not make the bullet longer? Would help with sectional density too.

>>109083
> That's still 6.5 and not 6.8 tho, why does the Army want 6.8 specifically?

That I don't know. I used 6.5 CM as an example because it's really popular and I've shot it like twice. (I'm not a PRS guy.)

> And why enlarge the diameter and not make the bullet longer? Would help with sectional density too.

6.5 CM already has really long bullets and still fits into a .308 overall length.

>6.5 CM already has really long bullets and still fits into a .308 overall length.

Yeah, you're right, probably due to geometry.

What's the trick with these? Carbide core?

Sounds kind of like the dozens of fancy looking eyepro mounted HALO HUD doodads I helped the armorer do a layout on the other week.

>Nobody knows how to use it and it's expensive

>Nothing the Army will ever take seriously.
This. The Army is moving toward a plastic cased ammunition for their next generation of rifles and LMGs so this is already dead in the water. It also doesn't do anything better than an AR in 5.56 as long as the barrel is at least 16 inches. You only run into problems with that cartridge and bullet when the barrel is chopped off. I am so sick of tards who fuck up a perfectly good, well-engineered product then either complain that it's badly designed or try to come up with a "fix" that is anything other than undoing their bubba-fudd hackjob.

The Mark XI was essentially a Mark IX Spitfire interceptor modified for photographic reconnaissance with cameras, a more powerful engine and a larger oil tank in the nose. All guns and armor were removed and the fuel capacity was greatly increased; speed was the unarmed Mark XI's defense. A total of 471 Mark XIs were built between April 1943 and January 1946. Great Britain and its allies flew various photo-reconnaissance versions of the Spitfire with great success in all theaters during World War II.

A total of 20,351 Spitfires of all types were eventually built, plus 2,408 Seafires modified to operate from aircraft carriers.

The U.S. Army Air Forces' 14th Photographic Squadron of the 8th Air Force operated Spitfire Mark XIs from November 1943 to April 1945, flying hazardous long-range reconnaissance missions over mainland Europe. Placed on display in 1993, this aircraft is painted as a 14th Photographic Squadron Mark XI at Mount Farm airfield in England. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196278/supermarine-spitfire-prxi/

It was beautiful.
Not a reproduction. A Live, BoB Hurri.

Used to be at the Cave Creek airport.

Was wondering if something was hidden behind the bang-switch in the OP's picture (the third position).

>>109031
Yes, there is. It was illegally drilled there by someone else prior to him obtaining it. OP obscured it because he doesn't want his doggos shot. He is now asking how to fill in the no-no hole and make it like it was never there.

Tig, and paitence.

Meplat, I'm doing a deal for a transferable AM-180. Super clean, guy has owned it since the mid 80s just prior to the ban. Comes with 9" and 16" barrels. One metal mag, two plastics. I've handled the gun briefly. Any suggestions or recommendations regarding maintenance or sourcing spare parts if needed?

>>109160
Not really, been out of the business too long.
I'd suggest walking it through a SAR West show, and asking the folks at Lone Mountain, or looking for "Kenton Tucker", he helps run the Big Sandy and might know a solid source.

As far as I have seen, they are just described as a Hensoldt scope with no mention of the model.

That looks like a Fero ZF Model 1. I had a green Steiner version of it on my Hk93 years ago.

Let's build this.

>>109134
Thanks man. I'd love to find a Prideaux, but I'm definitely not shelling out a loan just to get one. I've been making due with those Speed Strips, but it just isn't the same.

stoopid webm somewhat related

I probably should start linking my YouTube vids along with the webms. I record a lot more than just slomo, but I dunno if I should just keep things on topic for this thread.

> How did millions of cops, soldiers, and gunfighters get by with only six shots for over a century?

We used leaded gasoline for a long time too.

Revolvers!
Mauser BK-27 aircraft revolver cannon from Czech Air Forces’ JAS-39 Gripen.

Decided to buy one of these through Aim. Arriving at my FFL on Monday. I finally decided on trying a 9mm carry gun. I'm unfortunately limited to 10 round mags instead of the factory 12, but MecGar makes 10s and relativity cheap on eBay. Not Magpul GL9 levels of cheap, but good enough for my now low budget.

Any recommendations on holsters? Also how can I tell if I need to replace the recoil spring?

>>109131

> how can I tell if I need to replace the recoil spring?

Just do it. They're cheap. Maybe do the hammer spring too. Get a new recoil spring for your P220 too.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Cleaned up nicely and I got a few new MecGar stainless mags on Ebay pretty cheap.
