is this rust? "factory new" Colt carry handle I just bought. I thought for sure it was rust when I took the photo, but looking at it now, it looks kinda fibery. I rubbed at it a little, and it didn't come off easily.

looks like rust whoever packed it had sweaty fingers

Just get some 0000 steel wool it lightly rub it off.

all the normies who say this really need to just stop
the rumor about bear skulls deflecting bullets was from back when they shot bears with black powder handguns
I shoot the trashcan-destroying bastards all the time. Stop being a little bitch.

If Elmer Keith's #5 SAA is such a great design, how come nobody makes a copy of it? I mean a functional copy, with the ergonomic and mechanical enhancements but not neccessarily the fancy engraving or ivory grips. Is the design copyrighted by Keith's estate or something?
No idea.
One of these years when I have the better part of a grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'll have a gunsmith take a Vaquero -- the smaller frame one -- and put a Bisley trigger and hammer and good aftermarket target sights on it, then give it an action and trigger job. That'll get me 85% of the way there.
That's my pet theory, anyway.

I think Elmer Keith's blown-up SAA cylinder is the coolest thing Forotten Weapons has covered, because it's a turning point in firearms history crystallized into a physical object that you can hold in your hand.
All those weird old guns are neat and all, but a lot of them are forgotten for a reason.

Looks pretty standard to me.
I really like 1911 style pistols and want to purchase one. Kimber is my favorite, but do any of you all have any other good suggestions?
Not kimber.

Springfield first, Ruger second. Best options if budget allows, if not see RIA
I was thinking about knighthood and in modern times its just in England a reward given out and that's about it.
What if it wasn't? What if knighthood was something that still had a military significance? What if the Ezo Republic had survived and Samurai were still a thing? Modern Jaguar and Eagle warriors, etc, that kind of stuff.
How would a warrior class look like in battle? The same as regular soldier or would they have special gear? Would they lead the other troops or would they be their own units? Would their weapons be provided to them or would...

I don't think the idea is really all that realistic in the modern era. Knighthood was relevant when personal arms and equipment were prohibitively expensive for most people. The only way to use them was to be sponsored by a wealthy landowner, and agree to fight on their behalf. Today, the average person can afford the same type of rifle (Maybe not the same brand/quality/features/whatever) as the most elite soldiers in their military, so the need for a special social class just isn't there. The whole "God...

Tank and AFV crews. The knight/samurai is the Tank Commander at the vehicle belongs to the family. Squires and pages of varying seniority crew the other positions

Its not that unrealistic if they performed functions in the civilian world in addition to war.
And would very well remain relevant if they were obligated to serve in the military once called, unlike regular civilians who have no such obligation, turning these guys into a military reserve.
Why hasn't /k/ set up their own international private-military/Police force yet ?
At least a National group in the U.S ? There's so much potential here
You almost got me that time mr. ATF.

There's that, and then there's the talk about going into Africa and becoming a warlord. Which one would you pick, OP? I'm sure someone is willing to leave everything behind to create a force such as this.

Wouldn't a bullet traveling at bullet speeds punch a hole in the weapon instead of just getting lodged in the barrel?
Does anybody here use a shoulder holster? I feel like it would be easier for a skinny person (me) to hide a gun in a shoulder holster than a hip holster. Also post approved semi autos and revolvers for CC.
>>30620575
Shoulder holsters have other downsides besides the whole having to wear a jacket thing. A lot of them place the gun perfectly for someone else to use it on you.
>>30620819
Yep. Most don't have modern retention features found on most open carry holsters.
Unless it points the gun downwards there is also the issue of the gun flagging whoever is behind you. May pose a risk of lethal nd if you don't practice your draw enough.
>>30620575
shoulder holsters are a niche item. I have a few and they have their advantages but theyre not for everyone. Imagine wearing a back pack without the back pack part and just the straps, thats the best way I can describe it. Its irritating for some people, theyre expensive and can get tangled easily. I think everyone should at least try them but a hip holster is more basic
Post your pics here
Making a small muzzle loader cannon but i want to make it look like some sort of artillery.
