Glock 17 vs Beretta 92 vs 1911.
Which one would you chose to defend yourseld and why?
>>30542535
Glock 17 because I'm most used to Glocks also MUH CAPACITY
>>30542535
glock this isnt even a question, highest capacity and lightest. the only reason to not pick a glock out of the 3 is wanting a manual safety
>>30542572
>lightest
>good
???
Why is more recoil good?
hey guys I was interested in getting my pal and rpal soon and buying myself my first handgun. I was hoping on getting the colt 1991 gov issued 45 but was hoping for additional advice.
If you want a 1911, get a 1911.
If you want a simple babby's first pistol, a 1911 wouldn't be any better or worse than any other pistol. As long as you like it it's good.
If you want to be able to use it defensively to possibly one day save your life, please do not get a 1911
>>30542866
This is actually good advice.
If you want a 1911, get a 1911.
If you want a defensive pistol, get a polymer wonder 9.

lol
I detect a wee bit of insecurity.
Looking into buying my first gun, don't know if I should get something like an M&P Shield, Mossberg 500, or a full size handgun (also maybe a .380 like a Ruger but I heard the trigger sucks and idk about .380).
I don't have my CCW license so it would be mostly for home defense. But I would kind of like the option to take it with me because all I carry for edc right now is pepper spray. If I were to get a rifle I would probably want like an AK type and I definately wouldn't use that for home defense cuz over-penetration and shit so I think I would look...

Walther PPS.
>>30541797
I love the look of that gun but some anons said that the M&P shield is basically just as good but cheaper. I'm not sure i've only fired a few handguns, A XDS .45 a Taurus pt99 and a Browning .22
>>30541839
The only determining factor you should be looking at when considering the PPS is if you're partial to the paddle mag release over buttons.
It isn't too wise to buy a smaller single stack for your first gun since they're much harder to shoot and learn the fundamentals on compared to a fullsize or compact. I will say that the Shield's grip length is about the same as a Glock 19's with the 8rd extended mag however.

Can you guys tell me what he did wrong? Was he out of position? My first instinct would have been to get behind cover and shoot from there, but I don't have any training.
Did the officer make a mistake, or was he simply outplayed?
He's a cop, he's not used to shooting people who can actually fight back.
>>30541757
no back up, no eyes on, no accurate supporting fire on his flanks. Also he got shot.
Is this suspect military trained? He looks extremely comfortable and like he's been there before.
Why are non ranging reticles still a thing on cheap scopes? Is mildot so fucking hard to etch?
>>30541647
Off the top of my head:
>Not everybody wants one.
>They're not necessary for every application.
>Cheaper variable scopes tend to be 2nd focal plane, which means the scale only works at one setting anyway.
>It's one more thing to make a scope fail quality control, which eats into your margin.
etching costs money to do correctly and most people use cheap scopes with no intention of shooting much further than point blank ranges (<250 yards for most centerfire rifles)
The scope on my BLR has a duplex crosshair but I can still adjust the range on it.
Is this shooting going to be the final nail in the coffin for firearms in America? Is an AWB headed our way? P.S. heading to my LGS tomorrow to buy my first gun, what should i get? Budget is sub $700
>>30541638
shameless self bump
>>30541638
Nope, if anything Trump confirmed prez, besides liberals pet group BLM is responsible so it'll be fun to watch the lib media get sent into a confusion on how to spin.
>>30542265
>How to spin
Talk about the gun, not the shooter. Same as it always is. They have this MO pretty down pat now and this really isn't going to change it.
Bacon here,
Welp. Where should I order my body armor from? bulletproofme? LA Police Gear?
>>30541608
Army bacon here. LA Police Gear is outstanding, check out Galls and 511 Tactical. Stay safe.
why do police still wear shit level II armor?
>>30541701
Because they really only anticipate pistols on the job. Some cops keep hard plate carriers in the trunk in case something big goes down, but can you imagine wearing plate carriers 8 hours a day? I went on a deployment and that shit sucks. You can't do that shit as a career.
Will 8/7 be forever remembered as the day ammo got fucked to the point that it was no longer buyable, and Anons who didn't prep got culturally enriched?
I prepped, got a couple hundred rounds for my Enfield. Any basketball americans try to enrich my culture, I'll set up on the roof and pick them off one by one. Boom, work the bolt, boom, work the bolt.
>>30541395
But they come faster than that, Anon.
>>30541439
You can work the bolt on an Enfield pretty fast, my man.
Alright, /k/, with all shit shit that has been happening and is currently happening around the country, what can your average kommando do to ensure he could be a part of a well regulated militia should the need for one arise? I'm not necessarily talking about full blown race war or civil war or anything like that exclusively, although those scenarios should also be taken into consideration. What kind of gear and equipment should you have on hand? How much ammo should you have available? What type of skills are necessary to have and how do you gain these skills? What level...

Bump?
Bumping for interest.
>>30542194
Theres probably too much interest elsewhere for this thread to get much attention. If it dies, I'll probably try again in the next few days.
Did he have military training?
signs point to yes
or lots of COD

Does anyone have any idea how much concrete/granite a nuke can penetrate?
Or better yet, is there any declassified government studies regarding nuclear weapons and their penetrating effect/destructive capability on various materials, specifically bunkers?
For example, how much 5000 psi concrete can a 20 megaton nuke penetrate? What about 30,000 psi concrete? Solid steel?
I know the shock wave can transmit through materials and crush/destroy objects indirectly. What I mean is, to what extent can a nuke vaporize, crumble, or break heavily fortified bunkers...

The data isn't too available, but it's generally understood that Cheyenne Mountain will be fucked in the event of a nuclear war.
The most powerful conventional bunker buster, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator can penetrate 200 feet of concrete, and the nuclear versions can probably do much better.
>>30541332
Really depends on the PSI of concrete. All concrete isn't the same.
>>30541332
If the data isn't available then what's "generally understood" is going to be bullshit.
alright /k/
in the impending civil war (aka race war but this isnt /pol/ so civil war)
what weapons will you use to fend off your land?
>>30540803
>what weapons will you use to fend off your land?
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that /pol/ constantly butchers English in niggerlike fashion?
>>30540803
the spoken word. i'm willing to live and fight through the end of our country but i want to die knowing my goal was an attempt at peace
>>30540914
What was wrong with that sentence? Unless you are some cityshit, you own land, personally I own 10 acres.
Haven't seen a bp thread in a while. Any cap and ballers around tonight?
Is it just the Remingtons that have the safety notches, or do the Colt reproductions have them too?
>>30540875
I believe it's only the remingtons, the Colts have nipples as far as I know.
>>30540875
some repros do, the originals did not.

I want something not fuddly and I've narrowed my choices to 2 similar weapons.
H&K91
Or
FnFAL
Both obviously in 308 and with a similar price tag, my choice is difficult
>inb4 assorted rhodesian bushwar references
>>30540502
AR-10
Personally I say FAL. It's...gorgeous
I like the HK91. It was my personal choice. But Sa/k/uya and the shitposters from /BRG/ will be here any second telling you how shit the HK is and how you're an idiot for considering it. My advice is to not ask /k/. Watch videos, read reviews, etc.
/k/ with the recent shit that been happening with shootings I am scared. I will be on vacation for a week and I cannot take any weapons at all. What do I do if the shit hits the fan while im away from them?
You die
>>30540376
>2000 whatever
>No trunk gun
>>30540376
>I bought into the mass shootings meme
Still a retardedly low chance of killing you from a statistical standpoint. Stop riding the anti-gun hype train.
