Misc Firearms Crew XI: In after... the bans

[Farley1324]

I'm not sure if these were posted already, but:

Lancer L5 AWM smoke/translucent 30 round mags for $19.99

https://www.primaryarms.com/Lancer_S...gls2320-01.htm

They have other mags in stock as well. 20 round versions of those for the same price, and the same $14.99 Troy Battlemags they've had for awhile.

[TXAg]

the alaskan doesn't have the unaesthetic barrel

i really like it but it isn't the most practical thing ever and ammunition isn't cheap for .44 mag

It still has the same frame that covers the barrel but yeah, it's not fugly like longer barreled super redhawks.

You need to get into reloading if you shoot 44 mag. I reload full power JSP for around 30 cents a round and LSWC plinking ammo for around 20 cents. It would be even less if I cast my own.

Curious as to this as well. I have read so guys saying that reload rifle brass 10 times or more.

[RThoe]

In the three years i lived there i only seen 1 thunderstorm lulz..it like never rained and when it did it was only for like 10 mins then stopped..even during the rainy season

Interdasting. I have family on the big island and visit them once every couple years. Always fukin raining.

ive come to the sad realization that its possible all handguns will be banned in ca soon, so im probably going to end up putting a smith and wesson 629 44 mag revolver on layaway. its funny, i didnt think it was likely id be panic buying a revolver for fear it would be banned, at least, not in the near future.


as for glocks though... 26 master race?

naww man. g20 master race!!

There is a bill that will redefine the definition of all pistols as shotguns and in turn making them SBSs which will then make them all illegal. Motherfukers.

Glock 23 and 26 master race checking in. Want a Glock .45. Wish they made one in compact. I'll probably get the 21 so I have a different size in the models.

10mm > .45

brb weak 10mm loads equal .45 +p loads

Glock 36 is a single stack .45, an the G30 is a compact .45, it's roughly the same size as a G19, just wider.

[Farley1324]

Yeah, and weak 10mm probably describes 95% of what is out there for sale.

And you will probably find 100x more .45 ACP than you will 10mm out there for sale, looking at the big picture.

10mm is a niche cartridge and always will be. It will never be a major player like .45 ACP

[JeffB284]

Do you even G30S?

[hutch1999]

Glawk36 crew checking in RThoe. As others mentioned above the 36 is a slim frame single stack .45


I really like mine. Carry it in my backpack every day. Srs. IL of peace.

there is hot 10mm out there (hpr, winchester silvertip, underwood, corbon, etc.) and it is about equally uncommon as weak 10mm (remington, federal, prvi, hornady)

seeing as the cost is similar why not just go for the 10mm unless you absolutely cannot order ammo online

I want something that's more available and it's one of the three main calibers.

Glock 36 is a single stack .45, an the G30 is a compact .45, it's roughly the same size as a G19, just wider.

Is the 36 smaller than a 26 or 27? I'm ignorant on .45 sizes so I was just going off the Glock charts and comparing them to the other two I have. I just need to go to my LGS and fondle them. If the 30 is about the size of a 19/23 I'd be happy with that, I just figured it was the same as the 26 and 27 based on the chart.

Why I want one in .45.

It's not on the chart? How does it compare to a 23 or 26?

How's it compare to a 23 or 26 (or other models those sizes)?

A lot. 44 mag brass is tough stuff. I bought 500 pieces of once fired for $50 and am halfway through reloading them for the 5th time (I think). I inspect every one of them before I put it on the press and they have no signs of wear. Its common for people to get 10-15 full house loads out of 44 mag brass. Then you can trim them down and make them into 44 special and reload them till they wont hold a primer or get a neck split.

Closer to 26/27 size

there is hot 10mm out there (hpr, winchester silvertip, underwood, corbon, etc.) and it is about equally uncommon as weak 10mm (remington, federal, prvi, hornady)

You could stand to do a little more research on this topic, and learn a little more about the cartridge, before trying to tell us how it is. Hint: Silver Tips aren't particularly hot, and listing them in the same line as Underwood is pretty funny.

The cost is not similar, .45 ACP is less.

.45 ACP is FAR more available.

The premium defensive rounds that are street and time PROVEN to work in the real world are available in .45 ACP as it is a service cartridge (Speer Gold Dot, Federal HST, Winchester Ranger, Remington Golden Sabre, and more and more)

If you want your first gun to be a 10mm, go for it! It might be just right for you.

But, for many/most people, it isn't. Hence the popularity of .38 spl, .357 magnum, 9x19, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Those are the workhorses.

hornady tap .223

is that normal price? i know its spendy, but not sure if it was 1.00 per round or not....

[LikeEmThik]

Fairly normal, and still not worth it.

Intel session...

How is the ammo market looking in y'alls respective cities?

[Lakersbake]

Interdasting. I have family on the big island and visit them once every couple years. Always fukin raining.

Each island is different. Kauai is the rainiest place on Earth.

PSA upper with Aimpoint PRO came in today. Personal Defense Weapon #1 is pretty much finished. UPS guy asked if it was a rifle, since he saw it was from an armory.

Horrible. Big5 gets a few boxes each week that sellout within 20min and LGS never get anything. And pretty much zero ARs at LGS in town. 30min south has a lot of high priced ARs and 556 at $1 cpr.

175 gr winchester silvertip has 649 ft/lbs at the muzzle
180 gr underwood has 676 ft/lbs at the muzzle


please stop patronizing everyone on the internet

[Farley1324]

Most of the 10mm Underwood I'm looking at, on Udnerwood's site, is listing 775 lbs

775 > 649. By over 19%

G21SF, G19, G26

Each of the three main sizes. It's nice to have access to all of the general frame sizes.

What other calibers do you own? If you get a 10mm as your only handgun, you will quickly regret it. And basing long term ammo prices and availability on the current market is a misguided approach IMO. Regular ammo will go back to normal but 10mm will always be more expensive and harder to find.

I learned this the hard way. Back in late 2008 I made my second Glock a G20. I later sold it, and the ammo, and got my G19. I am happy with that decision. So happy, in fact, that in 2011 when I got a full size Glock I made it a .45. (although I tried a G30SF first, it had problems, so I exchanged it for the G21SF with Glock)

Horrible, Dicks usually gets some in on fridays sold out by sat morning. thats the only place I ever see with ammo

[stiffdogg06]

Want a handgun that can hold more than 7-8rds but small enough to conceal. No glocks. Must be in .40. Might have to start looking at XD's.

[4EverBulkan]

Springfield XDs .45 ACP

actually was considering getting one of these.....would be my first .45 too....
