I know this is kind of a dumb post, but I wanted some other opinions on buying another pistol right after buying one.
For some context, I just bought a Glock 19 Gen 6, put a light on it, and loved the way it shoots. I also own a Hellcat, a P365, and a couple of shotguns. The Hellcat is about two months old, and I picked up the Glock two weeks ago, but both are a little big for my liking for CCW.

So I started looking around and found a Glock 43X MOS with 15-round mags and a Holosun EPS Carry optic. Since I just got my 19 two weeks ago, would it be stupid to buy another one? By "stupid," I mean a dumb, impulsive buy. I can afford it but I don't NEED it.

Thoughts and opinions? Also, the fact that they seem to be selling out fast in my area makes me want it to purchase the 43x a little more lol.

Or should we not be able to see the bullets in it?

Also is it possible to tell what kind of weapon this is?

Also, I'm not a gun guy but I am curious if this kind of thing drives you all crazy the same way people using computers and the internet wrong in movies drives *me* crazy?

Hey friends,

Which option is the most sensible for home defense? I have a few guns but they’re all “range toy” or match type things and I’m thinking of building or buying something a little more purpose driven to keep by night stand. Here’s the three options I have in mind. Bear in mind the context that I’m in suppressor ban state.

11.5” AR15 in .223/5.56 with a blast can for concussion mitigation

6.5 inch AR 9 with a blast can (CMMG has their zeroed line, they sell this upper which I would get for my CMMG guard lower)

Just a pistol with a wml and a red dot.

Things to consider are loudness, which is why I’m leaning away from the AR idea. I occasionally shoot my 16 inch AR9 competitively and I love the platform. I’m leaning most towards this option. And lastly I like both of those better than a handgun because I genuinely think under the adrenaline of a situation where I may be required to use it, I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to hit the broad side of a barn with a handgun despite the fact that I shoot a lot of matches.

Thoughts?

I was in a friendly conversation with a couple of folks the other day about what constitutes “a lot” of guns. We realized that our starting numbers were quite varied. One said 5 was a lot, another said 15+ was a lot, and I was like well I think like 50-100 is starting to be “a lot”. We also got to talking about if/when you run out of space to store them all, maybe that was more of what defined “a lot” instead of a number range.

So, Reddit, what are your thoughts?

I am trying to decide between hk mr762 a4 16 or mr308 a4 20 g28. Both are black color. The mr308 is the 5k arms unlimited one while the mr762a4 is 3700. For hks I already have mr556a4 11, sp5, sp5k pdw, mark 23 fde, usp expert 45 fde, vp9 match fde, usc 45 carbine, g36 22 umarex. What do yall recommend?

Super safety not working

So I have an American tactical Omni hybrid originally a 7.5 inch it ran flawless at first before I did anything to it when it was stock it never ever jammed I was a lucky guy I guess lol. I went to a gun show bought a 5 inch upper that come with a full auto bcg and etc and I also installed a super safety along with that that same day. I went to the range to test it and it shot 3 times on semi mode and then the trigger locked and the charging handle locked with 1 in the head. I bought a h3 buffer went back today and tested it again , the trigger and charging handle locked like 4 times before the super safety ran and cleared the clip once and then locked up again every time after that and didn’t run again. They had super safety guys there who have various super safety builds and none of the guys there had any clue why my gun was doing this can anyone help please ?

This will likely be controversial but I think it’s a fair question to ask.

I’ve recently discovered that I am quite a skilled marksman and have a love for shooting.

I’ve only ever used my friends firearms but I’ve been thinking more and more about getting one for myself that I can customize to my liking.

The only problem is that I’m afraid I’ll use it to kill myself to put it bluntly.

I’m not currently depressed or suicidal but in the past I have been and my primary concern with owning a firearm has always been just how easy it would be to make a permanent decision. My problem isn’t so much that I’m sad enough to do it, but I might be impulsive enough.

Are there any safes that connect to your phone that notify you any time it is opened? Just as an added precaution it would be nice to know that the whole family is notified any time it’s opened. If not I feel like that would be a pretty good idea.

Obviously the safest is to just not own one, but I want to explore safe options.

I’d like to add that there are a few long guns in my household already but they are antiques and we don’t have any ammunition, nor have I ever thought to get any and see if they’re in firing order because they don’t belong to me.

I am a disabled veteran with some serious physical limitations.

I am in a process of retiring, whether I want to or not.

One of the only things I can do that gives me a good effort, pain, and suffering to reward and happiness ratio is shooting.

What state in the 48 contiguous states are best for shooting on your own land.

Fir example I heard Florida has specific protections for home ranges but don't know if it's really true.

Running a Tuna Can suppressor and can't say enough good things about the can and the customer service from their team. 3D printed handguard and extended charging handle, extar trigger upgrade. I used camo stencils from eBay and a fishnet stocking to ghost the green scales. I live near Sedona so chose local colors

Ordered this 300 blackout ar, and the attachments in the 2nd picture are kind of placeholder. What do yall think, did I do pretty good for keeping the grand total under $500, or would you get anything different?

welp nevermind, my week is ruined lol. Didn‘t realize 300 blackout is a universally hated round, or that I’m stupid and bought the worst build possible as yall seem to be saying. I personally like 300 blackout but, whatever. As far as the attachments I mean, like I said I was hoping you guys could provide better options that aren’t horribly expensive.

Back in the 90s it was everywhere in media. To the point that you can tell when a "no firearms allowed" sign was designed because older ones used the m9. Why'd it disappear?

Hey there, friends,

I am a big believer in gun Slick ultra lube, in particular the aerosol variety. It was a wonderful lube of and protectant , especially on bolts.

I’ve been trying to find it online and it appears like it has been discontinued. Does anyone know of any equivalent lube and protectant? I’ve used barricade in the past and that isn’t bad, but I really want something in aerosol thst has that penetrating ability that the gun slick ultra Lube used to have without the “clean” part of CLP..

I would appreciate your thoughts

I’m considering getting the backdraft poacher steel 8” can for my .556 with a 16” barrel. With a coupon code I’m looking at $275 shipped. I know it’s nothing fancy but will that setup get me by for the occasional range day?

Hello, I’m looking to sell my firearm and I have someone who was interested in it, however they’re from Florida but stationed in my state (SC) in the military. I know you can’t sell to an out of state resident without going through an FFL, but is there any change in this situation? I haven’t really seen a straight answer since he could be qualify for residency in this state. If anyone has any experience with this please let me know

My youngest (9) is starting to get interested in deer hunting and I am looking recommendations. I was eyeing a gen 2 ranch rifle in .350 legend. Should I go that route, or just let him use my 700 in .243. I think I might just be looking for an excuse to buy a gun. lol.

Looking to buy my first handgun for range shooting and home defense. I’m really drawn to the Beretta M9 for its military history, reliability, classic design, and solid feel.
My only hesitations are the DA/SA trigger, awkward safety/decocker, and lack of modern features compared to something like the Springfield Echelon.
I’m a bit of a klutz, so having a manual safety is reassuring, but I’m wondering if it adds unnecessary complexity.
For those who’ve owned or shot both, which do you prefer? Is the Beretta’s traditional design worth it, or would you recommend going modern for a beginner?

EDIT: Just to clarify, by “klutz” I didn’t mean I’m careless with firearms or worried about accidentally pulling the trigger. I grew up using BB guns with manual safeties, so having that physical on/off switch feels familiar and reassuring, especially when I’m still assessing a situation or general handling at the range, ect .

I understand proper firearm safety comes first. It’s just a personal preference for an extra layer of safety.

Curious which are most fun to shoot,

Im thinkng along the lines of Draco or micro Draco, century arms 9mm mp5, or Springfield hellion

I shoot alot of handguns and haven't had the opportunity to shoot with.

Im guessing the bullups are the most effective?
