/k/ you have 10 seconds to explain why you don't have one of the greatest self defense/combat weapons ever developed. The N frame .357 with a 5 inch barrel.
>>28374608
I'm curious as to how OP is standing up that revolver with no visible support, this is some witchcraft
>>28374628
Any large frame .357 with a 5 inch barrel is magical. That is the whole point of this thread.
>>28374608
I wanted to get a glock first as a practical gun and then buy something for a bit more fun. So its on my wish list im just saving up the money
As long as it isn't a single shot. And no bidding. And I can't drive so is it possible to not have it shipped to a store? Probably not I figure. So pawn shop right?

You have to fill out an FFL at a licensed store to allow them to legally recieve and transfer firearms from online, if that's what you mean. Usually it's pretty cheap.
As for cheap handguns, used they start at about $200 but you get what you pay for. Avoid anything called a HiPoint, it's a complete piece of shit.
>>28374590
Clear your notifications you nigger
>>28374590
New is going to be a Hi Point, I think it's somewhere around $150-200. Used could be fucking anything, depending on your local selection.
Hey /k/ I'm new to /mauser/ is turkish 8mm corrosive?

Not sure just a sexy pic I got from here a long time ago
How difficult is it to crash a skull by stomping on it?
>>28374199
About how hard it is to go 2 weeks without orgasmm. Its doable but a PIA.
>>28374199
Only takes 520 pounds. Learn to Google and not make retarded thread.
>>28374199
Crush like smash to dust and totally collapse it?
Not sure, probably a lot.
Cause skull fractures and serious concussions?
Not more than a couple. Don't kick people in the head unless you want to face (attempted) manslaughter charges.
Bought a Glock 43 for concealed carry iwb. Did I fuck up?

>Bought a Glock

9mm maturity
K why the fuck do people act like the sp2022 doesn't exist. Fuck it's glorious.
>sig
>lightweight
>fairly compact about the same size as a g19
>good ergonomics
>non striker fired da/sa goodness
>poor fag friendly
>40 and 9mm options
Why is this unicorn ignored?
>>28373769
Listen, I've owned a lot of 9mm pistols and while the SP2022 is decent VALUE (at $400) it has a lot going against it.
>extremely top heavy
>bulky in all the wrong dimensions and relatively short barrel for size
>trigger is uselessly heavy in DA and mushy in SA, and brakes way against the frame
>mediocre grip shape and uncomfortable texturing
I got mine for $390 brand new and couldn't sell it fast enough. The quality was pretty good but I've never felt a gun that felt so top heavy and found the trigger just unacceptable for a range toy.
I've since moved on to a Sig P320 and am very happy. Basically, the SP2022 showed me that (to me) DA/SA is a meme for a range toy other than revolver. I wanted to like it so much but it's proportions and weight are just all wrong.
i cc the 9mm version daily. a lot of people that don't know better think its one of the more expensive models.
i like it, but the mags are kind of expensive
>>28373769
I've never been able to drop the cash for a Sig, so I've never even looked twice at them when at my LGS.
>although looking at them online now it is pretty affordable

Police shooting done right:
>suspect armed with knife
>officers used less lethal first
>when victim's life was in danger they shot him
It doesn't seem that hard, why can't everyone else not fuck up like capping the grandmother in Chicago?
>>28373720
You ready for the riots on this one?
>>28373730
No news on victim's/attacker's race. It's fresno, ca btw
he wuz a good boi juss gonna cut some steak w/ dat knife racis police
/og/ Optics General
Is an ACOG really worth it for $1000+? Or does /k/ prefer a red dot (that's obviously not EOTech)?
acogs are worth every penny
4x32 is the masterrace of optics
red dots are for queers operating on static steel targets at the 25 yard line. acogs are for shooting people.
fuck acogs and their shitty ass eye relief
You have to be literally three quarters of an inch away from the eyepiece to see shit without getting scope shadow
the only people who like them are faggy bench shooters
Which barrel length is best for a Single Action Army? Which do you prefer, both visually and functionally? 4.75in, 5.5in, or the full 7.5in?
>>28373560
6'' barrel is fine.
>>28373560
Whatever that is easiest to fit inside your jacket
>>28373560
The most noticeable differences are in balance, overall weight, sight radius length, and draw speed. The last one only matters if you're in cowboy action shooting (or you have to take out a guy who's aiming for your heart). Try out a bunch in the store, and see which one appeals to you the most. You're not going to see a huge performance difference in the long run, so stick to the one that you feel is best
Recently recieved a cz model 83 as a christmas gift but dont have mags, some people want as much as 50 a pop for them, are they really that scarce? If not where is the best place to get them at a fair price?
>>28373498
Check eBay maybe
Widners Reloading has them pretty cheap right now.
Love my 83 just wish ammo was a bit cheaper.

Anyone got that webm of the dude spilling that entire bizon magazine all over the place? I can't find it anywhere. The weeb one with the captions and shit is fine too
>>28373371
No sorry senpai
thanks for reminding me that I'll never have one of those north korean AKs with the bizon style magazine.
>>28373378
Shit. I've been looking for a solid 10 minutes and I can't find it
>>28373414
>north korean AKs with the bizon style magazine
What? I've never heard of such a thing. Then again I don't look at North Korean shit often.
Alright, so as we all know gravity isn't the same on other planets as it is on Earth, there may be some places that come close but for the most part it varies.
The question is, assuming if by the time humanity began colonization they still used cartridge ammunition, how would we compensate for the change in gravity with our ballistics?
>>28373341
>higher gravity
Aim higher.
>lower gravity
Aim lower.
>>28373341
We wouldn't do anything differently. Just visit the space port range, get yourself sighted in, and go on your merry way after you land.
>>28373372
Would you have to aim lower for low gravity? Wouldn't it just mean that the bullet travels in a straight line further than it normally would?
Is there a tacti/k/ool whistle? Looking for whistle + auto glass/face breaker
My Leatherman Signal has a rape whistle and a hammer.
>>28373274
Sounds even more retarded than those faggy tactical pens
go with something light/durable, if you're worried about needing a glass breaker get a knife with one
>>28373318
Why would you want to put that in your mouth? You know how much nasty shit your hands come into contact with? Prob the nasty shit the tool ends up touching too?
What are your opinions on NV/Thermal Imaging devices?
Recommendations?
Advice?
General Knowledge?
They're fucking awesome and you should buy some. Seriously.
What's a good starter set to look at?
>>28373268
They're pretty cool, I can't quite justify dropping the dough on them becasue I'm not a pro hunter nor a hardcore operator but it's neat using a friends from time to time to remove bacon from his property.
