I'm interested in getting a 1911 just to say I have one, even though I'm really turned off by the low 7-8rd capacity.
I'd rather use an FNX and have 17 rounds of .45...
Anyways, I'm really overwhelmed by the options, can anyone help me out? I don't mind spending up to 1500, but if I can get an acceptable one under 1000, then I will.
Help me.

Rock Island Armory, basic, cheap, durable, functional, a basic GI model can be had for as little as $350 and is a good value purchase.
If you want to splurge, there's always Dan Wesson.
Since you'd rather a hicap for .45, consider getting a pistol in a caliber you don't have, just for the sake of it feeling different, like .38 Super, .40S&W, 10mm, or .45 Super
Avoid Kimber brand guns, they're dogshit.
>>30514468
The FNX is cool and all but outside of capacity, I think the 1911 is a better gun.

Thank you for your input.
So I just got a used Browning A5 at Cabelas for $332. I would like to make it into a reproduction of the Browning A5s used in Rhodesia. My question is, where can I find the 9 shot magazine tube and furniture, along with any other parts I'd need? Pic related, Browning a5 from Google, I'll post pics of mine when I get home, I'm in the car now.
I wanted to get one too but with a rifled slug barrel and expanded tube.
>>30514225
You cant.
Just try to find one at auction. They run about 1400
How the fuck did you get an A5 for 300?
Post pictures I wanna see how fucked up this thing is because I've seen some hideously treated examples that wanted much more.
are war crimes and the roe only items on the escalation list?
certainly there are lines that warplanner's draw, but they're planning for all contingencies, after all. there must be an account for total warfare, where warcrime/roe doctrine are tossed aside, and considered as bullshit to worry about later if ever.
i mean, it's obvious right guys? an open secret right? any public officials comment on this since the red scare days?
>an open secret
Is it even that?
We have a nuclear doctrine and nooks break any number of international laws.
Warcrimes are just what the winners hold against the losers. "Winners" never get charged for warcrimes

They were ready and willing to nuke Germany had the war dragged on.
There's a lot of writing about the justifications of total war in regards to WW2 and what they were prepared to do if deemed necessary.
But like >>30516126 says the only recent mentions are from nuclear doctrine.
Did modern urban combat tactics like stacking up, Room Clearing & the meme "slicing the pie" exist in WWI and WWII?
>>30512897

Digging trenches is modern as fuck.

slicing the pie is a meme? is everything a meme now?
am i a meme?

no reason to clear a room when you can shoot through the walls or level the building
If dueling was suddenly made legal for basically any kind of general disagreement I feel that there'd a vast decline in SJWs and hurt feelings being national news. SO, if dueling/trial by combats were to miraculously make a comeback in the current day and age...

Some states still have mutual combat laws, I think they are called, which is basically duelling

Hi point 380
Heritage rough rider. It's a .22 revolver and usually comes with a .22 magnum cylinder. They're cheap, fun, and .22 mag isn't bad.
I just got a hefty amount of money and plan to either get into SASS shooting or buy some cool futuristic guns. But I'm not a John Marston cosplaying tool so it will probably be the latter.
I want to buy some unique looking guns, Right now I'm looking at gats for pure novelty such as the Kriss Vector, Chiappa Rhino, or ARX160. I'm also a CaliFag so theres that. What should I buy? Were looking at a ~$3,200 budget. Also an NRA Instructor so I don't plan to spend money on training.
>Califag
Bus ticket to Phoenix.
buy a GOA membership, the NRA got you where you are today
>>30512563
You would have to get a single action Rhino and then have a gun smith convert it to double action. Or buy used, but I recommend buying new.
what the fuck is this shit?
>finally a rifle for Californians
I know what I'm getting next
>>30512276
it is something really cool and not cheap
>>30512276
Why do these things exist? There's also a double barrel s/s with rails and shit.
LC9s vs M&P Shield?

Is .38 super a meme round? Why is it so popular with drug cartels?
>>30511252
>Is .38 super a meme round?
Yeah, kind of.
>Why is it so popular with drug cartels?
Because it's legal to own .38 super in Mexico
>>30511252
>Why is it so popular with drug cartels
Because in Mexico you can't (or they make it real difficult, I'm not a Mexican lawyer) own a gun chambered for a common military cartridge.
Italy has similar laws which is why 9x21mm is popular there as an alternative to 9x19.
>>30511252
Back in the prohibition era it was actually pretty potent, it'd penetrate armor and car bodies which .38S&W or .38 Special didn't
In Mexico, and many parts of South America, .45ACP and 9mm Luged are "military" cartridges, and .357 is often restricted for other faggot reasons, so .38 Super is one of the few pistol cartridges north of .380ACP which is legal.
Any accessories or modifications you guys recommend? Be gentle, I just converted from a mini-14 guy.
>>30510883
I have a SW MP AR15. They're ok ARs.
first thing to do is replace the front sight post/gas block with a low profile gas block. Then put on a freeloating hand guard like a Troy Alpha.
change out the A2 flash suppressor muzzle device with quality muzzle brake like a Miculek.
quality metal iron sights. Kinghts Armaments makes good ones that fold down, compact, and you can adjust the rear for range.
>>30511011
so, generic stock/grip/trigger aside, you're basically just telling them to keep the barrel, bgc, and receivers
then what's the point of saying it's okay?
>>30510883
what are you going to do if someone here said it was garbage? return it? nope. sure, tell us you bought an AR in the fucking AR thread, but don't seek shopping gratification from us in a stand alone thread
>>30510883
I bought an M&P15 years ago. Aside from a defective spring that needed to be changed out to keep proper bolt hold open, I have had zero problems with it over the years.
As for accessories, I'm the kinda guy who will tell you not to go crazy with it until you shoot a bit an figure out what you like. I ended up going with a Ergo grip, Troy BUIS, free float rail, and low profile gasblock.
For now, until you decide to put a bunch of stuff on the rifle though, those plastic grips as actually quite...
