Misc Firearms Crew LXXVII: Locked (Down) and Loaded

[Igmann]

Extended mags? If you can't get the job done with 8-10 rounds of freedom I've got some bad newz son. Semi srs.

Also from what I've read the grip on the USP is big black and massive and most owners can't grasp it well enough.

Spoiler!

No homo

A good number of altercations involve multiple assailants. And it's basically a mid size pistol & I feel cheated out of mag capacity.

sup ya CBD lovers?

lol H&K

Glock 21.

Get that peasantry out of here.

Hello again MFC,
I'm in the market for an H&K .45 to suppress. It's been hard to decide between the USP 45 & the HK45, along with the compact versions of both of these models.

I really like the HK45C tactical. It's large enough where it balances well with a can but small enough to CC. But I just can't get over the 8 round capacity in the compact and the 10 round capacity in the full size.

Yes, I'm aware that there's a 12 round magazine option but I still feel like the compact should be 10+1 with the flush mag compared to it's competitors.

On the other hand there is the USP 45.

Thoughts?

Mk23 is the only real answer for an HK chambered in 45Boomer. Flex on the poors. USP tac would be my #2

About a year ago there was a local gun shop selling a used MK23 for $1,200 & 4 spare mags. Been kicking myself for not getting it since. Had some obvious wear to it but trigger was broken in perfectly. Way undervalued but I think it was on consignment.

That'll be my following H&K. People whine about its size but I have no trouble shooting it one handed.

USP45 will probably be the way I go. Just wish the HK45 had the extra 2 rds. Idk what they were thinking cutting down the mag capacity on a "modernized" pistol w the HK45.

First time on the forums in probably 5 years and I come across this thread. Heavily approved!

Edit: 6 years. Holy smokes!

What's wrong with it?

They tend to sit in the corner unused...

[Farley1324]

I bet it's been six years since I shot my pump shotgun

Strong this.

Most people I know who have shotguns never take them to the range. Hollywood hypes up shotgun effectiveness but personally, unless you're talking about skeet shooting or breaching doors, I can't imagine a situation where I'd take a shotgun over a rifle.

USP grip isn't that big, it's just not that ergonomic either. Kind of a weird shape tbh

Mirin that mane? Hope all is well with you & everyone else in the thread. Looks like its starting to fade but good to see some of the og members still posting.

Never been bird hunting. The thought of it never had any appeal. Guess you could go full Dick Cheney on an intruder and pump them full of birdshot too.

mirin mane big time. real nice.

I had a good time going bird hunting when I was younger. None of my family dogs were trained but it was pretty sweet to go out and walk a few miles on parents' land with one of the pups on a nice fall day. Started going out on my own at 14, but would go with friends once in a while. Man, I'm feeling nostalgic.

When all the leaves were down, these birds blend in really well.


Once in a while one would fly off right after I almost stepped on it, it would make my heart skip a beat.

[fishnbrah]

listed my house yesterday, by tonight had 4 over asking price offers with the strongest coming in all cash. pending the inspection this should be complete real soon.

bro you werent asking enough for it

[OfficerJimLahey]

When will the demand go down. I've been looking for a Mossberg 590, I can't find any Mossbergs in stock anywhere.

if you want to buy a 930 let me know.

bad ass, i love 20" A2s. i have one complete upper in that exact configuration but need more.

ive got two of these though

[OfficerJimLahey]

bro you werent asking enough for it

ahh, i bought around 280k 3 years ago. given how hard the detroit metro area has been impacted by covid i am more than happy with an offer almost 50k over that. i am moving in early june, so an all cash offer w/ no need for an appraisal has me feeling pretty blessed.

Yeah my father was into it in his teens too. Had himself a double barrel that he'd take to school and go duck hunting right after.

We are going through a rough time right now as a country so its easy to get nostalgic. IDK if it's just in my head bc I'm getting older but the last 5 years have been just down hill. Culturally & socially. In my personal life everything's been great. But as a country, idk where I live anymore.

Detroit real estate market is heating up though. I've been there a few times in the last year (business related). Always mind blown how little traffic there is even during rush hour. The drive from Pontiac to the city is always a breeze.

That's a nice equity bump!

House across the street just went under contract for $599,000. We bought at $360k in 2006. So I couldn't even really afford to live in my own neighborhood if I was buying today. It's funny how that works. When we first bought in 1996 we weren't all that far from where we are now. 10 minute drive. The house we are in now went for about $180k back then. We paid $150k for the place we got into as a starter home and we couldn't have qualified for another dime above that. $30k might as well have been a $1million at that time.

your dad was doing it right.

you are right! after living in the denver area and then DC, it's great to not have to plan when i drive somewhere around what time it is. if you drive up woodward ave on your way to Pontiac, you should check out Red Coat if you haven't. https://www.********.com/RedcoatTavern/
the burgers are damn good, but the onion rings are amazing, it's a cool spot too. real dark inside and a large selection of beer if you enjoy that type of thing.

yeah, it's heating up for sure. there was a definite pause in things being listed in my suburb, but it seems to be opening up fast. i may have left a few $$ on the table, hard to know. 20 showings in 2 days, and either no offer or the 4 above asking. The house has its pros and cons. Solid neighborhood though. Mostly older but they all keep their yards in good shape and aren't dickheads.

thanks, hon. the last owners didn't take care of the place and it probably cost them about 10% in the sale price. houses in the area were being sold on the first or second day listed, but this one was on the market 3 weeks when I made an offer.

those are some wild price changes!

Definitely, will check it out.

It's not just the traffic but parking too. You can pretty much find parking anywhere you go in the city right at your destination. Venues aren't crowded, everything's reasonably priced. Cool city, its improved a lot over the last 5 years. The abandoned home boarding up/demolition program has done wonders. Farmington has some great spots too. But you can tell the city was built to carry a lot more people than the current population.

Colorado & Washington are probably the top 2 states for equity growth lately. I never get a short appraisal in either of those. I'll talk to someone, they give me an estimated value of like $500k brb the appraisal comes back at like $650k or higher. Anything around Seattle is the same.

[Farley1324]

The Prime price of Speer Lawman 9mm 115gr at target sports just...dropped...actually. $220/1k shipped

Pretty solid sign for a mini acceptable-price purchase opportunity for the super last minute ignored all buying advice the last 3 years folks before the election buying hits

[NuggzTheNinja]

Enough with the pictures. We need standards. We need qualifications. Anybody up for a challenge?

Pick a qual to shoot and I (and hopefully we) will give it a shot on video.
