Supposedly hitting dealers this month.

Wilson Combat flat face trigger. It's a game changer in the Gen 5's.

SAO pistols with equal or higher capacity to striker is the game changer

Not for me. And not for a lot of people.

Odds are really good that if I ever need a gun, all I'll have is a pistol.

Hands-down, the best advancements in the last decade with pistols is removable FCGs like the P320 and APX and three specific pistols.

1. Reliable, affordable 2011s for carry like the Staccato P
2. Reliable, affordable 2011s for competition that take a common magazine like the DWX
3. Reliable, affordable 2011s for Glock poors like the Platypus.

I shoot DA/SA more than anything else.  Running my Shadow 2 and DWX back to back on the clock is a wash. The biggest difference between the two is the fact the slide is lightened on the Shadow 2, not the action.

Why are u gross like that

Whelp, I just blew my Atlas piggy bank on reloading components.

Pros: Lots and lots of pew pew.
Cons: Sentenced to another ~3 months of striker purgatory for my crimes.

@ken_mays

Do I detect derision in that answer? Is there something wrong with it? I've always thought that the slide mounted safety was a knock against the 92, correct? I haven't shot a 92 since the early 90's.

That's why we stay with SINGLE ACTION ONLY

Another SAO range day yesterday. I didn't take any pics, was having too much fun.

Shot my FM90 Hi Power, M18, SP-01 SAO, .22 M9 Beretta and my buddies Staccato P. He's had the Staccato for less than a couple of weeks and already put 550 rounds through it. I've put 100 through it.

I like shooting the Staccato P as much as the CZ, but I prefer the lightness of his Staccato.

I'm definitely going to get a Staccato P with aluminum frame for my next gun at this point. I'm sold. Until then, I'll switch to the CZ after I swap out the low-profile standard safeties for the extended CZ Custom SP-01 Shadow safeties.

Use code "$125MAGS" for zero percent off at MBX

I'm trying to get my buddy to buy Prodigy mags for his Staccato, but he's sticking to OEM mags (he has 4 so far and is ordering more) and won't let me convince him to buy Atlas mags.

That metric nonsense jargon means 29 rounds.

This one hurt.

You can get more rounds if you choose non slide lock followers but that's really gay gun game shit and all guns must be shot until slide lock.

Practicing at the range? Slide lock.

Shoot some communist asshole robber? YOU GUESSED IT! SLIDE LOCK

He only wants flush-fit 120mm mags. If it was me, I'd 50/50 a mix of 140mm/120mm magazines. Probably a couple dozen, too.

Wonderful selection of pistols. Not certain we can truly consider the M18 to be a SAO though…At best it’s debatable

I'll accept debatable.

And thanks!

Paul Harrell says to never shoot to slide lock, unless it's for illustrative purposes only.

He is based, and I have nothing negative to say about him.

But I will be mag dumping

Hymie Liebman of San Antonio came up with the idea I believe.

He made full auto 1911’s with extended mags and sometimes a Thompson fire grip.

Yeah. That's not how it works.

Not select fire. Still SAO. Inspiration for:

TEAM SLIDE LOCK

Thanks for the photo.

Shooting to slide lock means you fucked up.

I shot to slide lock on a stage yesterday. You know why? Because I forgot my heckin reload while I was running from my previous targets.

Yes it is.

And yes, it IS annoying when that happens.

I like to shoot to slide lock though

There's dudes that like it when their Tinder date whips out a heckin jackhammer, that doesn't make it good.

Never left.

I haven't returned to single action for my carry shit because it's too expensive and heavy

I want a CS or C for carry to replace my 365x, but by the time I get new lighsts/dots/holsters/mags it will be $3k additional over the cost of a basic bitch 365x, which I already have set up.





shot my ACW at the range this week and it's really tits, just a heavy low banger to carry EDC

I know quite a few people who have been in gunfights. Inside the US and outside the US.

The number of them that reported they could accurately count their rounds fired is tiny, and those who could were usually the aggressors in the situations, and it wasn't their first time involved in a deadly force encounter.

So if a dude has been in a lot of gunfights and he's the one pushing the fight, he might well accurately track how many rounds he's fired. Or if he's just exceptionally cool under life or death stress.

For normal earth people who are not exceptionally gifted in that regard or who haven't been acclimated to the level of stress involved by repeated exposure, it's not a realistic expectation.

So the idea that you don't run to slide lock is bullshit. Most people will run until the fight is over or the gun stops making loud noises. If the fight is over we definitely spend time in class training them to get a full gun just in case hostilities resume and to be proactive about keeping the gun loaded whenever it is possible to do so. But that's about as good as it will get for someone who has just been through something novel, highly traumatic, and as stressful as it gets.

If you're talking about gaming...do whatever the fuck you want in a game. Even in games the number of dudes who can stay accurate on their round count when their plan experiences a hiccup is relatively small. I don't compete every weekend but I'm also no stranger to matches and watching people (including myself) fuck up a perfectly good stage plan is the dominant experience. A buddy of mine had his gun shear one of the locking lugs off the barrel. He got a stoppage, performed a remedial action, and then stared blankly at the two halves of his gun now in each hand. Watching the go-pro shift back and forth as he looked at both of his hands repeatedly was hilarious.

Guess how his stage planning and round counting went the rest of the day when he transitioned to a backup gun? The rest of his match was a shitshow.

The difference between a match and real life is that in real life if you need your gun in the first place it's because a lot of shit has gone wrong. You likely aren't accurately counting rounds in that circumstance. The kind of shit that utterly ruins a competitor's match? That's where a fight generally starts for the typical citizen defender.

Another SAO is on its way to my FFL.

Checkmate, bigots.

Behind this wall text of second-hand tactibro bullshit I can tell you don't even understand the conversation. It's not about Paul Harrell specifically. I actually agree about trying to count your rounds, Paul can only do this because of 99th percentile autism superpowers. Counting rounds isn't what we are talking about. Not in games, or real life. I also don't need you to tell me the difference between games and real life.

I am not saying you should count your rounds. I am saying you should always try to proactively reload.  In real life this is preferably done from behind cover and/or between movements, maybe on the move, depends. If you need explained to you that yes, the magazine getting swapped out will usually have 1-10 rounds left in it, then you should just sit this one out.

You should still practice slide/bolt lock reloads because we are human and its possible to fuck up, especially in a gunfight. You should emphasize getting good at them only because of how catastrophic a fuck up it is or can be.

My only SAO is a communist. Zastava M57. Pic not mine, stolen like a good communist from the communists at Wikipedia

Need to go shoot it more. I like it, terrible sights though

ETA: I forgot I have a Ruger Wrangler too

I just  ordered another SA/DA last night. But as a poor, I ordered a Turkish copy of an obsolete European pistol.
Tisas MC14 G84.

But I will carry it cocked and locked, ignoring the DA function. No crappy decocker on this one.

Team slide lock wins again

Nah, it was a dumb post with a strawman argument based on second hand tactard bullshit that has been obsolete since before even my time.

This. Great Grandpa didn't win two world wars by shooting his 7 round mags (in a SAO) to slide lock.

Bang, bang bangbangbang (3-5 dead japs) take cover, reload then repeat.

Call in nukes

BTFO

I'm not transitioning to anything.  I have a million spare parts, mags for my current gun.  My 6 holsters are about $100 each.  The juice ain't worth....

Wha’d’ya get?

I really wish someone would make a 2011-ized Tokarev.

I wonder if anyone makes a doublestack TT-33…



I just came

I love the bigot meme so much.
