dude, i gave never denied bein' a hick. i like the p226 because it's easy to maintain, has a good grip and tight trigger throw for my very average white boy mitts, and is a fun and accurate range shooter.

looked at a couple glock 19's, which are cheaper and lighter and equally reliable, but ehhhhhhhhhh.

Post by: drew on June 26, 2012, 12:31:03 AM
p226 or no p226 all that matters is barrel length.  as with +p+ not being any more effective it depends, +p+ has no set in stone guidelines to it, they vary from brand to manufacturer.  but velocity is velocity, you'd have to look up raw data for the specific round you were interested in.

tldr myself i just go with +p's, they're not nearly as harsh on your gun and do the job.  another trap is getting 147 grain bullets, which tend to over penetrate walls and exit bodies before expanding all the way.  keep in mind that none of this is necassarily FACT but just what i think after reading and watching and shooting a bunch of shit. bullets do weird things, man...

Post by: tehjaybo on June 26, 2012, 02:06:54 PM
Just got paged in, sorry.

I'll be honest, I've never known all that much about ammo.  I just throw what's cheap through my Sig Blackwater 1911 at some paper, and keep it loaded with whatever hollow point rounds the shop had at the time.  I've only needed the one box, though I'm thinking about ordering something a little nicer and just shooting through what I have.  It's been sitting around for a couple years, and I don't like that too well.

Good call on the Sig.  I'm a fanboy myself, so I'm glad you didn't go with a glock.  Now given, glocks will shoot come hell or high water (literally, there was a test and even when packed with sand, the fucking thing shoots), but I just hate the aesthetics of it.  Looks like a blocky piece of shit.  I'll stick to my Sigs, thanks.  Just sold my Sig P6 9mm about a year or so back, and from what I hear it's doing pretty well in its new home. 

The thing that SOME people don't realize is that you actually have to maintain your guns.  Yeah, it's a tool.  But if you throw your screwdriver out in the elements and never clean it, will it get messed up?  Yup.  If you leave your saw in the bed of your truck for a year or twelve, will it cut right?  Nope.  I've never had a single issue out of any of my guns due to use or wear.  Not a speck of rust or discoloration.  Because I actually clean my weapons.  Regularly.  Shit like that doesn't happen if you care for your stuff. 

Imma go get my baby out of the car and post up a picture.  Gimme a minute or two.
Title: Re: hey tehjaybo: the bore gun nut q&a thread
Post by: Mupepe on June 26, 2012, 02:16:03 PM
I agree about the ammo.  Unless you're competition shooting I don't think it makes much of a difference to the average person.  A good gun should be eating any type of ammo anyways.  My Colt and Springfield will eat any brand I throw at it.  But now I reload my ammo so now I give even less fucks about brands.

Dead on Mups.  If you're having issues firing a certain brand out of your weapon, the issue isn't the brand.  Now given, the cheaper the ammo the more misfires you might have.  I know that a good portion of the big 550 rd boxes of .22lr that I buy for $10 or so aren't going to be the most dependable.  But if you're having constant problems (1/2+), you might wanna take the poor guy to the gun doc.  Which is something that I need to do with my GSG-5, when I next think about it.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 26, 2012, 02:32:20 PM
the trigger action on the p226 -- at least the double step -- requires a bit more pressure than i'm used to (p7, glock 19, cz-75) but that's probably okay given that i'm a spaz and there's no safety on the p226

that's definitely not a bad idea.  When you get some of the basics that they teach you can look online at guides/videos for any other model you might get and you can finish it pretty easily.  It might save from some mistakes like the "idiot mark" on my 1911. 

the DA trigger pull on a P226 is pretty heavy but if it does end up bothering you later (after you become more accustomed to it) you can either take it to a smith and have a trigger job done on it or there are some home fixes you can do to lighten the trigger pull.  I personally find a 3.5# trigger pull the sweet spot on my handguns.

Another good idea is to youtube how to disassemble your gun.  Sounds silly, but there are a lot of REALLY good step-by-step videos on there about it, anyone can do it.  Unless they've been drinking wine all night, and end up trying to put their 1911 back together wrong, amirite Groogrux?

Post by: tehjaybo on June 26, 2012, 03:57:45 PM
If you want a cheap rifle MAF, look into Mosin Nagants.  Buy it for 75, shoot it till you're done, and throw it away.   :lol  The downside is that ammo is harder to come by as opposed to some other rifles, as if I recall correctly it only takes Russian make rounds.

M4s are fairly common, easy to build.  You can do a decent variation of a .223 rifle about however you want it.  What are you going for, up close paper killin', or proving you can shoot a guy in the dick at 150 yards?

Post by: tehjaybo on June 26, 2012, 03:58:57 PM
If you just want a bolt action targeter, hell, get a .22lr.  They're super cheap, fun as hell, and accurate.  Low-no recoil, and just all around useful.  Also, for added wild westing, look into lever action .22lr.

+1 on the .22lr suggestion.  Especially if it's just going to be for S&G's.  .22 is so cheap that you can't go wrong.

But for me personally, I need a little oomph behind it when I'm pretending that I'm COD'ing it out and pretending I'm sniping Nazis from 300 ft away.  And for that I turn to a 30.06 bolt action rifle.

Nice.  I always prefer to shop in person but be awares, you're usually paying quite a premium to get it in a B&M store.  A pretty standard reference for online pricing is www.budsgunshop.com   They have a good reputation and great prices.  Shipping is usually free.  You just have to pay the FFL fee for wherever you decide to have it shipped (a local store usually).  For example, when I was looking around for my Springfield XD45 the cheapest I could find it new was $699.  But Bud's Gun Shop had it online for $495.  I buy from my local shop fairly often so I was able to talk him down to 600.  I avoid a wait, FFL fee and shipping (although Bud's usually has free shipping) and I get to support a local shop without feeling like I threw away 200 extra dollars.

I've been taking my grandfather's .22 short handgun out to the range for the past couple months, but I want to get something a little bit meatier.

Whats some good options for a starter handgun? Is a 9mm the next step up?

Also, gun related, my dad's birthday is coming soon and my present is a family trip to take a gun safety and concealed class.

9 isn't the next step up, but it is the tinniest of the centerfired calibers suited for defense (which doesn't necessarily make it the least effective one either).  if you just want the next step up shoot a 22 magnum or a 380 acp or something

drew's right that it's not the next step up, but I think it's the best step for most people.  9mm is still large enough so that you get an idea of what larger calibers feel like but it's completely manageable even if you're unfamiliar.  Just still make sure you have someone who is familiar with guns with you.  The first gun my wife ever shot was a 9mm and she shot a .45 that same day ;) 

Huff: Before answering your question about what your options are, what are you planning on using this gun for?  Target shooting?  Concealed?  Home defense?

Target shooting mostly. I'm pretty familiar with guns (we have plenty of shotguns and rifles), just not with handguns.

So I stopped a pawn shop to see a WW2 Auto Ordnance 1911A1 that was listed on gunbroker.  I wanted to see it in person.  It's not in the nicest area so there was this thugged out looking girl there and she was trying to sell a car radio.  While she waiting for the pawn broker to go in the back to look it up we shared what had to be one of the most embarassing moments of her life.  She was wearing basketball shorts and sagging them so low that she took a step and they just fell off.  She almost tripped on them and said "oh shit" and pulled them back up and then we locked yes for a milisecond and pretended nothing happened.  Awkward.

Anyways, the 1911 had been refinished so was worthless as a collector.  But that scene was worth the trip

not bad, not a fan of neutered shotguns with wood furniture, I think a shotgun should have a full magazine tube that extends to the length of the barrel - because why limit yourself?  Also don't like the red dot on the mini 14, i think that rifle wants to be used with irons, although that stock pouch is hot, very WW2 GI, suits the rifles well.

oh and nice grip pod, Brevik. ;)

Jesus they issue those things? no wonder we're losing the war on terror!

+1 for a scout setup, Jeff Cooper, while not always right, definitely knew a thing or two...but I'd hate to see you get rid of that forward section.  Maybe look into a mini red dot like the Burris fastfire II or if you don't like money the Trijicon RMR.  I thought about putting a burris on my rifle but I love the look of an Aimpoint mounted forward on an AK.

good choice, Ultimak is a solid, AAA company and product, I considered them but ultimately went with Midwest Industries system. Krebs is another company with the same quality AK fore end solutions.

just out of curiosity why would you want to go with an M14 platform over an AK? Also why stick with the mini 14 when you have an AR now?
Title: Re: hey tehjaybo: the bore gun nut q&a thread
Post by: drew on February 11, 2014, 12:10:40 AM
all solid reasons, I can see why you'd want to go that route.  Have you ever looked at the M1A socom?  I finger fucked one in a gunshop last year and it was very nice, although you would have a loss of range and velocity due to the shorter barrel (obviously).

never looked down an ACOG before, last time I went to the range up here one of the guys in the stall next to me had an F2000 with one on top, I should have asked him if I could shoulder it and look down range with it, that would have killed two birds with one stone for me, I'd get to check out an F2000, which maybe I'll never get another chance to and check out the scope.  BTW he said he paid $2,800 for the rifle by itself :-X

If I could have any optic I would want the Elcan this guy shows in this video:

This thread has been dead for like a year.  Thought I'd bump with my pickup today.  Finally got the .308 Winchester I've been yearning for...

(http://i.imgur.com/hCbT5WC.jpg)

Weather willing I'll be hitting the range tomorrow.  It's a heavy motherfucker at 8 lbs empty and before I put the aftermarket handguard and foregrip.  The grip is also uncomfortable as fuck so I'm going to swing by a local shop tomorrow and pick up something to replace it.  I moved my optics from my mini 14 so I also need to start looking for a proper one.  I haven't shopped for a scope in a while since I've mainly been buying handguns.  Any suggestions that won't break the bank for long range target practice would be appreciated.

I picked up a Remington 870 today. Not the sexiest, but it is one of the most reliable shotguns. I got it in a 28 inch barrel for trap shooting. So i also picked up a trap thrower that was originally $150. I got it for $47 after some discounts and coupons.

Picked this beauty up this morning.  DPMS Tactical Precision Rifle.

Nice rifle.  Groups great and the recoil was so little.  Follow up shots were easy as hell to take.

The only downside of breaking it in this morning was that I wasted a lot of ammo trying to sight it in.  I just threw on an old red dot that I had on my Ruger Mini 14.  Took a lot of ammo and a lot of frustration before I realized that the wind adjustments on the red dot didn't work.  At about 10 feet it was off by about 4 inches to the left.  At 50 yards we were off like 20 feet to the left.  Oh well.  Thankfully it was fun to shoot but now I've got to look for a red dot or a low powered scope.

I found a demo unit of a Redfield Revolution on clearance at a local store so I picked that up last night and mounted it with some Leupold aluminum scope rings on a .9" riser.  Perfect height for my cheek weld.  Just gotta go sight it in.  Since Redfield is made by Leupold it's basically a rebranded VX-1 from what I've read and Leupold's awesome lifetime warranty applies to Redfield products. 
(http://www.snipercentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/redfieldrev1.jpg)

I also forgot to mention a couple of months back when I bought a Marlin 922 22LR (below is actually the Magnum version but it looks the same).  Great cheap way for plinking and practicing trigger pull/breathing/etc.  Accurate as hell.  At 50 yards I was shooting a hair above MOA with the cheapest ammo I could find.

What's the reason you can't?

It is really fun if you're a tinkerer. So many little things for you to work on and improve. Lots of experimentation if you decide to go further and mod them or reload your own ammo. Also, people who actually shoot and not just bro collect Glocks and AR's tend to be really nice and welcoming.

You could start by renting them and taking some basic firearm handling classes.  Go from there.  They'll teach you how they work, safety and basic shooting.

Have you ever looked up 3 gun IDPA matches on YouTube? That's what I'm just starting to get into now. Really fun stuff!

i've been to the range three times in the past few weeks. shooting is hard but people tell me i'm a natural but i have no idea how to read the targets paper. going from shooting my first gun (as an adult) to going to the range just to try out handgun rentals to make my decision is pure himuro form but i've been fully persuaded by the pro-gun side and think it's the right decision. I'm now firmly pro-gun after kind of being on the fence for so long.

I'm in need of something that's low profile, easy to use, easy to maintain, and reasonable in price.

are you looking to carry? That's my end goal.

some of the more popular reasonably priced and good handguns are:

Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 9

https://youtu.be/tu9GB35lQcU

I've tried this is in 7 round mag form and 8 round mag form and prefer 8 round but this depends on the laws of your state.

Springfield XD9

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ74fpzvbY0

Glock 19

https://youtu.be/3z2w5VlPo3Y

Sig Sauer p938

Additional tips:

any gun you're interested in chances are Hickok45 has a video on it. He's the most trusted gun reviewer on the internet. He's the old guy I've posted review videos of.

any gun you're interested in, look for a range that allows rental and just shoot it and see how you like it. Look at and shoot multiple guns before purchase.

finally, take a handgun course (preferably NRA) before you go to a range so you know what you're doing and aren't as intimidated.

What is a reasonable price and what do you plan to use it for?  Home defense?  Concealed carry?  Plinking at the range?  Competition shooting?

I recommend a 1911 to everyone because they're beautiful works of art.

$500 to $600 range
Home defense initially. Concealed carry potentially.

Get a glock
Title: Re: hey tehjaybo: the bore gun nut q&a thread
Post by: Mupepe on December 13, 2016, 06:09:32 PM
Get a glock
For your price range and all things considered this is probably your best bet. Good resale value, easy as shit to maintain and reliable.

Make sure to go shoot one though. Some people don't like the way certain guns feel and so don't shoot them well. That shouldn't be much of an issue with a gen 4 that has the different back straps though.

Personally I just think they're ugly as sin but I'm not really into handguns. I only like revolvers and 1911s. I'm more of a wood stock bolt action rifle guy.

I didn't realize that aesthetics was a major factor in our shopping here. I thought we were looking for "something that's low profile, easy to use, easy to maintain, and reasonable in price." If so, buy a Glock. How would you even know what is impressive about a handgun in the first place, Queen of Ice? No offense, but you just shot one for the first time recently.

We are all affected by our subjective biases so maybe my opinion is as good as anyone else's, but I've carried a few different handguns professionally in high threat environments. For Pallando's purposes (and yours, actually) I recommend a Glock.

I know I just shot one for the first time, but I just didn't like how the glock felt though I did like its thumb groove.

And aesthetics do matter in some form to me. It's not the ultimate decider but I just didn't like the glock. I'm willing to give it another try.

You should try different sizes/calibers to see what shoots well for you. Even two seemingly identical 9mms can feel totally different. My only gun is a basic-nerd mosin so I'm not an expert on anything much less handguns which I've only shot once.

Also since no one is asking, why do you feel like you need a gun pallando? They're fun but you'll be a little paranoid about safety for a while and it's something you'll probably keep from most people in real life if you randomly get resting bitch face like myself.

It would match my future dystopia aesthetic.   :doge

But no, I'm getting one because there might come a time when I start traveling to remote locations and I need something that I can have on me incase I get into some deep shit with an animal or something else.

Also, I think guns are cool and I always wanted one.  :doge

for clarification, is that a mosin-nagant, brawn? Where'd you get it? I want one eventually. Seems like an amazing rifle.

Yup the rifle. Mine was made in 1943 and I bought it at Big 5 for like $160 3 years ago. It is like one step above a sten gun in crudeness of construction which gives it charm imo. It even came with a bayonet. /bygoneera :doge

Nothing you can really do unfortunately if talking to him doesn't work. I know acquaintances that do the same and they're ridiculously unfamiliar with when it's appropriate to even defend yourself with deadly force. It's scary talking to them

Since this thread has more activity right now than ever I guess I'll throw in that I hit the range today and i think im finally somewhere that I'll feel confident getting into an IDPA competition. I'll probably join my first in January. I hope the ten year olds that compete don't completely embarrass me

ruger precision rifle is an AR, no? I shot an AR pistol the other day when someone had one there and...I want one. Not now or anything, because I'm still new but eventually. Very fun to shoot.

That Ruger Precision is an AR platform but it’s large caliber and bolt action. It’s not like what you shot.
Title: Re: hey tehjaybo: the bore gun nut q&a thread
Post by: Himu on December 17, 2016, 03:07:07 PM
I realize that. I'm curious what AR platform means. Do they just mean aesthetic? I know it's a BAR and not the same thing.

Post by: Samson Manhug on December 17, 2016, 06:04:52 PM
You realize what? If you know the answers why ask questions? You might confuse people abbreviating bolt action rifle like that.

AR platform means that it has the same general outer construction (in this case everything but the bolt, bolt carrier, barrel) as all ARs can be modified with universal parts.

Post by: Himu on December 17, 2016, 07:32:45 PM
Okay. I wasn't saying the ar I shot the other day was the same thing or try to imply it. I knew that the gun was a bolt action rifle but I was curious if it was an ar type of BAR. Because I had never seen a BAR of that type. I'm used to old wooden BAR's so "AR platform" was just kind of weird to me. For that kind of money you could buy an actual AR, so I figured it was a different type of that gun because there's a bunch of customization options out there already. After all, there are semi automatic rifle handguns. If AR-15 is so customizable what's stopping them from making AR-15 BAR?

You got confused because the post was badly written in terms of formatting and description.
Title: Re: hey tehjaybo: the bore gun nut q&a thread
Post by: Mupepe on December 17, 2016, 10:39:19 PM
Making a bolt action AR doesn't really make sense since the AR design is defined largely by the action - charging handle, bolt carrier group design, etc. Rugers rifle just allows you to use standard accessories and some parts like triggers or hand guards. It's an advantage because of how readily available and relatively inexpensive those parts are.

It does come with a nice adjustable comb and stock. But I'd spend that money elsewhere for a bench rest precision rifle. That's more of what I am into by the way. My next rifle will be a 6.5 CM bolt action for long distance (300+ yards) shots.

BAR = Browning Automatic Rifle

I’ve never heard anyone call a bolt-action a BAR.

I don’t understand your question because the one you pointed out is that.

If I was going to buy a bolt-action, I’d buy a Remington 700. There’s a long distance marksmanship course in Arizona I’m supposed to go to with a friend I was in Afghanistan with, but it required you own a scoped rifle. When I go, that’s what I’m going to get.

Since I know you're already badass, what is long distance for you? I have a 700 in .270 with a Leupold vx-ii which I can easily hit a 5 inch steel plate at 300 yards. That's as far as my range goes out to unfortunately.

Up to 1400 yards. Technically, the Army still requires you to qualify out to 300 meters with iron sights. (Though I've used magnified optics on official qualifications and you can still score "expert" even missing the 300m target four times.) For the Marines its 500 m!

Wow! Man that is awesome. I'd love to work my way up to that skill level one day. The longest any range near me goes is 600 yards and you have,to get 5 out of 5 on an 8 inch gong at 300 yards. I can't imagine 300 (or 500!) with iron sights. It takes a ton of concentration for me to do 300 with 3x magnification on a high end scope

Linking because the pictures are huge but I got to shoot a $5k competition rifle over the weekend.  A guy at the range was breaking in a new barrel and 200 yards was "boring" to him so he let me shoot as much as I wanted.  Good god.  His setup was for someone shooting on their right side so I was struggling to focus (I'm left eye dominant) and it was still the most accurate I've ever been with anything.  This guy was shooting dime sized groups with "shitty ammo" as he called it.

I was trying to move laterally to the right down the cross of the target doing two shots for each movement right. The flyer on the far right was when my eye was giving out and I couldn't see crap so I went back to shooting my own :'(

I also put a Python on layaway recently.  I've always wanted one and the prices have come down enough to be around what I think they should really be worth...

https://1drv.ms/f/s!ArDnwteZC_dL7yQuGXayXnSw-nWD

I should have it by the end of July but I think I've used all my new gun mileage for the year already. 

The Wilson is a dream though.  Fits perfectly in my hand and I saw an immediate increase in rapid fire accuracy.  I'm just back on target very quickly.
