I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

I bought a set of the Warne 45 degree offset rails, mainly so I could get standard iron sights (not the 45 degree offsets) and use them but then still be able to use them as standard back up sights on non magnified optic rifles. It ends up costing more but you end up with some different options (you could mount an RMR type red dot on one instead of the iron sights, etc).

2 Warne 45 degree offset rail mounts and 1 set of standard BUIS would set you up, and then give you some flexibility if you want to change things around.

FYI I looked thru the Burris RT-6 1-6x scope the other day and it's pretty solid for the price. They have a kit that includes the scope, mount and back up Firefly or whatever their little RMR red dot it called. $650 for the whole kit

I have a P938. It's very reliable and very accurate. I've been pocket carrying it for nearly 7 years and love it, but never owned a P365. Legion version looks nice.

 

You remember what your 938 cost back then? The price tag on those little suckers is up there at the moment. Worth the bucks? I've been interested in them. I have the 365 now and a g43. The capacity of the 365 is the draw for me. Haven't had a issue with the 365 after a ton of rounds (yet ha).

 

I believe I paid like $620, which is pretty close to what they go for now. Bud's Gun Shop has the same one I got for a similar price: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/79404

 

Yes, I feel like it was worth the money. I got the extended mag which helped get a better grip on the gun also.

 

I love my P938. Unless you're set on a striker fired (which I dislike), the P938 wins in weight and height, so easier to carry but at the cost of 3 rounds.

In the end they're very similar apart from the trigger mechanics. I much prefer a SAO/DAO trigger over striker fired so it was an easy decision for me.

I got mine for a smoking price (under $600 OTD) two tone with 2 mags, holster and hogue finger groove grips from Adventure Outdoors.

 

Glock 20sf is scratching my buy itch. Figure with an aftermarket standard rifling barrel and some 230 grain hardcast ammo it would make for a nice woods companion. Yeah, I know it’s not a 44 or a shotgun with slugs but the reality is at most I’ll see a small black bear and doubt I’d have to use it. But, better to have and not need, and all that.

I can get blue label pricing on Glock, and I’ve never owned one so it seems like the right move. Anyone have one, or have thoughts on 10mm in general?

 

Get the gen 4 G20. It's slimmer than the gen 3 SF without straps and has a much more abrasive grip to handle the hot cartridge. The dual captive guide rod spring also works better to reduce recoil and lasts significantly longer than the single with the inherent hot 10mm loads.

 

I've have a G20 SF, love it, one of my two 10mm. you probably want to go with a longer barrel to stabilize a 230 grain hard cast.I have a kkm barrel. Change out the spring/guide rods also. Add some talon grips. You'll find most of the non Underwood/Buffalo Bore ammo is not the 10mm ammo flamethrower stuff the round was originally envisioned as. Check out Fenix Ammo for full bore standard load FMJ and defense. https://fenixammo.com/collections/fxp-defensive-ammo-factory-new/products/10mm-auto-180gr-fxp

For Deer and Hog hunting and woods defense its a great choice IMO, but if you're ever going to consider actual bear hunting look elsewhere, not enough gun.

 

Yeah after doing more research it seems like 200 grain HC is a better choice. I’m not looking to hunt with it, just looking for a woods carry gun. Really, I’m just trying to justify this purchase lol.

 

Shot a Glock 40 the other day. I liked it a lot.

 

Talking grips and spring/guide swap and you're already more $$ then a gen4 off the rack. KKM barrel? The guy is shooting standard box not mini RPG'S..

 

Get real, the grips are inexpensive wraps and the guide rod/springs are standard on any cheap plastic OEM glock. Add to that he specified hard cast which which necessitates the barrel swap, which I might add he already covered in his original post.

Reading comprehension, learn it, live it, love it...

 

Keep the barrel and breach face clean and you can run hard cast thru a Glock. Run it dry and ragged and the barrel swap is necessary.

 

Translation, swap the barrel out for a lonewolf or a KKm

 

Barrel swaps and fucking with springs and guide rods is a waste of money on Glocks. But it's your money and you know the guys on website forums are experts right?

 

Pups got to learn to stay on the porch if they’re complaining about spending money on consumables, be they motorcycle tyres or a SS guide rod/spring rod for some Underwood ammo.

Excuse me while I clean my Nighthawk, I was at Reload yesterday.

 

I can hit the target just as well with a $300 Taurus 1911 as you can with a $3000 or more Nighthawk. And buy ammo for it for a long time with the extra doe rae me.

 

You do realize that you just negated your own comment?

 

Sale at the local gun store had me spending $355 for an ATI 1911 .45 GI.
I was amazed and impressed at how well it shoots and the crispy trigger.. ended up running a box of ball ammo thru it.. for a new truck gun it gets an A+
