So I got a really nice springfield M1 Garand at a gunshow last week, and I've already burned through my meager supply of ammunition. I've looked around a bit, and this ammo
>http://ammunitionstore.com/products/30-06-ammo-145gr-fmj-wolf-military-classic-20-round-box.html
seems to be the best deal.
My question to you, /k/, is whether or not this is going to cycle and feed properly, or fuck up my extractor. I've been hesitant to buy steel case since I bought 400 rnds of herter's 223 and I shot about 15 rnds and they...

Google that shit and see what people have said. Or buy a box and see how it shoots.
>>28030696
The sale they have ends soon m8, or that's what I'd do. Google has produced poor results
This is like, someone buying a Corvette
and then wanting to know if they can cheap out and put 87 octane in it.
Personally, if I had the money for an m1 Garand, it would never touch filthy foreign ammo.
Has anyone here shot a S&W 500? Ive been thinking about buying my dad a 500 revolver for his 50th bday, but dont know if the recoil will be to much for the old man.
I know its a monster round, but having never fired it i dont know if people over exaggerate the recoil or if it really is uncomfortable to shoot.
Yes. It's a big bitch. I can shoot it one handed. It's not uncontrollable but it is more expensive to shoot than anything.
>>28030560
.44 mag would be better
I sure have. With the compensated barrel though. It's a quick, forceful rearward jolt to your palm. Then the momentum kinda keeps it moving rearward for a tad bit longer. That's about it. Not bad at all. A titanium frame snub nosed .357 is worse. In fact, I would let my gf shoot the 500 before a .357 or a sub compact .45acp.
Now... the non-compensated models, like the one you posted, those supposedly are an entirely different beast.

Anyone on here own one? I've yet to see an American L85 owner, do you like it?
I don't think civvie versions of those exist, and if they do, I don't think any ever made it to Freedomland.
>>28030551
It's fun when you hold your weapon for the first time, after a while your weapon becomes your worst enemy, until you have to use it to shoot an enemy lol.
>>28030570
Some did, saw one on gunbroker a while back.
Ok guys was laying in bed talking with my wife about home defence, we both have our own shotguns that i keep loaded with winchester oo buck
Anyways we got to the point about dindus breaking in and as such taking them down...my question being is IF an intruder survives both me and my wifes funs then can i legally make them pay for any damages? If not would you recommend slugs instead? My wifes shottie is a pump and mines semi auto.
If they survive, they can take you to court in a civil setting...Which is why you're usually taught to shoot to kill in a CC/firearms course for SD/HD
>funs
>dindus
Oh, nevermind. You've never taken a firearms course in your life, I take it.
>>28030578
Nope but i plan to in the next month or so...the laws in oklahoma are a little strange to say the least
I would say keep with the buck shot for indoor settings, make sure you train with your designated ammunition. Also, chances are if you shoot them center of mass the will not live. If you have to defend yourself in such manor, don't worry about who is footing the bill,
now, take your firearms course, and invite your wife to as well.
What does /k/ think about lights on a CCW?
Pic related.
>>28030505
makes the gun bulky, added weight, harder to find proper holster and if I need a flashlight I don't want to take out my gun
Ive tried it before, not really worth it IMO. Maybe a car gun or HD, but I feel like im wearing some batman tier belt set up when I tried to carry it
>>28030505
I carry with a weapon light. It's really nice to have, isn't really any more uncomfortable than carrying without a light, pros are you have your light and gun together so you can have a free hand, reduces muzzle rise, lots of lumens at your disposal etc
>>28031200
>take out gun for flashlight
So carry a handheld light? What would you do if you didn't have a light on your fun?
thinking of getting a compact pistol.
>sub compact is too small but i can deal with it
>standard is too big
id like 7-15 round mag capacity in 9mm, for under 400 usd, im looking at the glock 19, ruger lc9, and the kel tec PF9.
what would /k/ recommend? also im not interested in revolvers because i think mag capacity is king, unless /k/ can help me find a small .357 mag for under 400.
basically i need a pistol smaller than a standard size with a relatively high mag capacity in 9mm,...

I carry a keltec p11. Its accurate, cheap & durable. I dont wanna be out of anymore than a $300 pistol after its confiscated after a DGU resisting Dindu trying to culturally enrich me.
With those options in mind the glock 19 is leaps and bounds above the rest. Slightly more difficult due to double stack frame but by the the most simple, reliable, easy to repair and also holds the largest aftermarket. With the right holds aND shirt choices the double stack frame can easily dissappear also
>>28030388
>glock 19, ruger lc9
If you can comfortably conceal the Glock 19 as easily as the Ruger LC9, then the choice is rather obvious. Also, I've heard the LC9 can be somewhat snappy due to how light it is, and Kek Tek guns are worse, so if you do want a slimmer subcompact 9mm you might want to look elsewhere (M&P Shield is available at that price point)
PAK-FA = FAIL!
>>28030346
Germans are orderly and hard working, Russians are drunk and hardly working.
![tumblr_njjdtpisnZ1u8iju0o1_1280[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/zb4J0uW.jpg "tumblr_njjdtpisnZ1u8iju0o1_1280[1].jpg")
Russian ran out of Germans to do the work for them.
what is your guys opinion on the F-35 and weather it will stand up to the russian counterpart the TU50
Even if it's an inferior plane there will be far more of them than there will be TU50s, because unlike Russia, America has money.
>>28030288
>TU50
No such thing. T-50 is a manufacturer's prototype designation and PAK FA is a government designation for the project.
>>28030288
The F-35 is perfectly adequate for what it is being asked to do.
Tell me why I should or should not open carry /k/.
>>28030173
because you base some life decisions on a random message board i don't think you should carry a weapon at all.
Do it faggot
Rifle while wearing anything but hunting gear?
No.
Handgun? Sure, just don't dress like a nigger.
Sup /k/, I'm looking for a kevlar vest and a decent plate carrier with plates, what get? I know fuckall about armor
>>28029985
do you want a separated kevlar vests AND a plate-carrier? Or would an armor carrier, as in a vest that incorporates soft-armor + pockets for plates do as well?
For the latter, you could grab a fairly cheap Interceptor Body-armor or IOTV from Ebay or such. Got couple of IBAs myself for mere 100 bucks a piece, and slapped in couple LV4 German plates I got for 80€ / a pair.
>>28030058
I wanted separate ones but I'm open to ideas
>>28030065
Also wrote down your suggestion, thanks
This guy comes up to you and offers you one of these relics from the past FOR FREE.
Which do you choose?
Gavrilo Princip's FN model 1910
Lee Harvey Oswald's Carcano carbine
Simo Häyhä's M/28-30 rifle
John Wilkes Booth's Philadelphia Deringerpistol
Adolf Hitler's Walther PPK 7.65
Marcus Brutus Dagger
>>28029871
Hitler's PPK or Brutus dagger, not even a question.
Simo's rifle
>>28029871
Brutus' dagger, duh.
I'm trying to get my class 3 guard card in Texas and I have to qualify with a handgun and a 12gauge. What is a good shotgun to go out and buy for security guard purposes? I was thinking the Nova but shotguns as a whole are a relitive unknown for me.

What do you look for when buying a combat shotgun?
>>28029856
Price.
It's literally limited only by what you want to spend and what features you want. A Maverick 88 will do everything a Benelli or Browning can hope to do, just without the style. For combat, you might want some adjustable sights for when you have to throw slugs. Smooth bore 18 inch barrel with changable choke tubes. I like ones that take remington style chokes as they are very available. Pump guns cycle pretty much everything if you aren't short jacking including less-lethal.
So... My gf has never shot a semi automatic firearm.
Ever. She came from a pure bolt action/lever action and revolver house hold.
She knows how to shoot, has shown interest in getting a semi auto weapon, but no clue where to start.
So /k/, I ask this, Would starting here on a AR platform be a good start? Just so the basics can be taught? What would you recommend?
Pic unrelated.
>>28029823
Get her a 10/22
Yeah. ARs have like no recoil too.
But I dunno I'm an army fag
>can take apart an AR and put it back together blind folded in a short amount of time
>fucking can't put an AK back together to save my life
>Fuck
>>28029857
Yea same here dude. Know any good, cheap rifles for beginners?
>have an old ass CZ82 I use as my carry cause I can't shoot my 9mm as well as it
>noticed a few days ago you can pull the trigger through the safety
>but when it's cocked you can't
>was actually looking at me more and noticed the safety doesn't really CLICK up all the way unless it's cocked
>can't pull the hammer back and cock it with my finger too
My dad said I should stop...

>>28029725
Nothing. It was made with the idea that a double-action trigger is enough of a safety, or you can carry cocked and locked with the safety on.
safety is for carrying it cocked and locked, DA doesn't need a safety.
>>28029725
Dunno man I just found a NIB 83 that I am picking up on Tuesday but its a damn fine pistol. Your dad is just jealous that merrican manufacturers can not hold a candle to it.
Gentlemen:
How do we fix the American shipbuilding industry?
>>28029694
Is there a problem that needs fixing?

While American aviation is top notch, American shipbuilding is a shadow of its former self. Nobody buys ships from America anymore.
