Clyde Barrow special.

Picked up a Savage 99 in .300 Savage and a Remington Model 51 in .380 ACP

Fug, that makes me moist. I need an A5

Before you get overwhelmed, please relax.

Most pistols use calibers that make the most of what little room they have in the grip. This puts some constraints on how much power you can get out of it in multiple ways. This means that most pistol calibers will be short and stout; regardless of your feelings on bottlenecked pistol calibers, the point is the majority isn't. Out of a handgun, it's often better to push a relatively large and heavy bullet relatively slowly for a few reasons.

You can put more power in a revolver without much trouble because you're not shoving rounds in the thing you wrap your hands around. As fun as big automags are like desert eagles and wildeys, they suffer from the "gripping a 2x4" affliction.

Things that were meant to go in rifles most of the time suffer few constraints and as a result can be all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Calibers and the firearms they go in really is a broad topic so this cursory overview is meant more to help you narrow your question if you want to know more.

  This is an old US Army training video on ballistics that might help shed some light on powder burn rate, pressure curve, barrel length, etc. A lot of it isn't relevant to your question but it helps explain why cartridges on the "pistol" end of the spectrum use smaller volumes of faster burning powder and shorter barrels and and cartridges on the "rifle" end of the spectrum use larger volumes of slower burning powder and longer barrels.

I have an old (stamped W. Germany) Sig-Sauer P220. It's a solid, classic design, but I just did not like the feel of the grips. I actually preferred the feel of my double-column .45s like my Tanfoglio Witness 10-shot and FNP-45 15-shot to the 220's 7-shot.

But if you like the feel and the weapon in general and have $450 burning a hole in your pocket, go for it.

>>107741
Personally, I'd pass on the DAK trigger. Save a bit more for a used P220 if you're set on a .45 Sig.

>>107741
Sure, $450 is a bangin' deal. My first gun was a CPO Sig 226 that I paid $650 a decade ago.

The DAK trigger is good for a DAO trigger, but that's still the best of the worst kind of deal.

For what you'd use a P220 for, shootan at the range, the surplus deal is fine.

It seems like a good deal and the DAK seems cool if you're into that sort of thing but legacy model Sigs don't really blow my skirt up, especially lower capacity 45 models.

It seems like you already have pretty much every other 45 base covered and you must have the money to blow, so why not?

test.

The guys I shoot with are against the hyper-competitive image of the "silk shirt guys" with the sponsorships, so I wear goofy gaming t-shirts.

> I'm really curious about the Hudson

See >>107440

> Thought about putting a RMR or DPP on it?

Nah. I do pretty well with iron sights. The gun just doesn't do it. I really want it to work, but it doesn't. I'm also staying away from red dots on handguns or shotguns because it would put me into "Open" division. I run "Tactical Limited / Scoped" where you're allowed a rifle with 30 round mags and a red dot / single magnified optic. (A RDS with magnifier would put you into open.)

I try to keep my gear setup somewhat realistic. My Beretta 1301 shotgun has a 21 inch barrel and 8 rounds in the tube. I feel that having a super long tube is "stupid gamer shit", and would still use that gun for defensive use if buckshot or slugs were the answer. (Like buckshot would be ideal for an angry mob with torches, and slugs stop vehicles.)

So far I've been using the standard 15 round mags for either the VP9 or Hudson, but I just ordered two 20's for the VP. They're still within the 140mm length requirement for the "Tactical" divisions.

I am kicking around some ideas to up my handgun game.

>>107712
The Shadow 2 is a solid choice. There's also red dot dot mount available for it and there's a red dot ready version coming soon'ish if Carry Optics/Production Optics divisions interest you.

  >>107711
Totally wore the shirt. Two people asked me about it.

I did well. I would either be in the top 3 or not depending if you scored it "Time plus penalties" or "Points". I realize now that the points scoring system heavily favors short stages and limits the amount of damage from a dumpster fire. My buddy wrecked one stage, so the difference was middle or back of the pack.

I did very well on the long range rifle stage with my red dot. (As opposed to blowing it last time with the 1-6 scope.) At 100 yards, I held on the bottom of the target. At 200, right on. At 300, held on the top. I picked up some 55gr match ammo for the long range stage and the bullets went right where I put the dot, so I guess it worked out.

Got some new footage of my new handgun: Remington Model 51 in .380 ACP

And got some new footage of my old handgun: Frommer Stop in .32 ACP

>>107732
Great stuff man!

>>107736
Thanks bro!

whatever you choose you can certainly do better than diamondback. how about a nice masterpiece arms carbine?

There is a retarded amount of easy money to be had from posting gun pics to IG. They don't all have to be selfies, you can take picture of the guns if you want.

I think my favorite is ridiculous magnum revolver cartridges being fired from absurdly short barrels. Bonus points if the owner actually got a custom carry rig for the fucking thing. Pic is S&W 460ES.

>>107738
He's probably better of not practicing, otherwise he'll develop the flinch from hell.

>>107721
thanks for getting opchan shut down, faggot

>>107721
How come 7zip refuses to open this?

  >>107724
I'd guess that the original was a PNG (lossless compression) and that there is a jpeg (lossy as fuck)

>>107725
as much as i like jpegs and their trippy artifacts, whoever decided to resave that pic as one is retarded and whoever reposted the image without realizing that it was fucked is is clearly not involved in 3d printing and saved the image for some other use.

Never bought from him. I see the website is still Web 1.0 and looks like a 80yo granny designed it. I am surprised there are no random lens flares.

He does have some cool stock though...might just send him my C&R copy...

>>107719
Oh this fucking guy.

I met and spoke with him a couple months ago at his home office to make a sale to him. He is incredibly friendly and an excellent person to do business with. Very interesting man. I've ordered two rifles from him and have had them the very next day.

Gonna go look at the FN tomorrow, may also look at their SCAR 16.

Another fren was sucking X-95 dick. So not an AR but very interesting in theory. Might like, IDK.

>>107605
I'm a big fan of the SCAR 16. It's a great shooter and the only problems I've ever had with the gun were short stroking when I put the gas regulator on suppressed, and when I managed to jam a round in the chamber backwards while trying to admin unload the gun. (Rolled snake eyes, critical miss.)

A Gesissele Super SCAR trigger is a must and I recommend some kind of rail extension. (PWS or KDG)

But, in reality, I hardly shoot mine anymore after building an AR for competition with an adjustable gas block and lightweight recoiling parts. The SCAR is heavier and has a huge amount of reciprocating mass. It's like the gun just pushes you around. A muzzle brake doesn't help much, since the brake works immediately as you fire, then some milliseconds later the bolt hits the back of the receiver and you get a thump.

Another note about the SCAR, gen 2 pmags do not drop free and need to be modified just slightly to prevent the bolt stop from riding up. Gen 3 pmags work great.

However, if I needed a straight up combat gun to fight space aliens, the SCAR would be my go-to. But if the threat consists of robots, dinosaurs, or robot dinosaurs, I grab the HCAR.

>>107603
Didn't Tromix do that like over a decade ago?

The FN was nice.

Whereas, I like the SCAR, I'm more familiar with the AR/M4 platform.

And the X95 felt oddly natural, and nice and short.
