Favorite .45acp Handgun
Hawk451 replied to JDeko's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Couple more that I'm pretty fond of: 625-2 & 1955 Target 'Spacegun' Unfortunately, my aging eyes are having a harder time aquiring & re-aquiring the front sight. I may just actually get one of those Glocks... But there's another alternative developing yet. -

Oh, aye... It gets mighty cold up in the highlands. We won't even talk about haggis. How 'bout a deep-fried cheeseburger? -

I'm not really a 5.11 type guy, but this shows promise: You can tell, however, that the model isn't a true Scotsman & the sporran is really lame. -

But which one to get? I've heard & read that the Vepr has a beefier profile barrel & may be less prone to this phenomenon. As to barrel length, I'd say whichever pleases your eye the most. Here is a good video which addresses the barrel thicknesses (diameter) measurements to the 23" and 27" barrel lengths of the VEPR 7.62x54R rifles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUWldh-NPZA .... although I believe his digital caliper was slightly out of zero when measuring the muzzle end diameter to the 27" barrel; it is unlikely that it would have been wider than that of the gas -

Nice, but that's all I'd need, a 7th (or is it 8th?) rifle in this caliber...- 1 reply

'Frankenstien' 1911 retired (Mid-80s vintage)racegun & EAA Witness. I can shoot the Witness with equal accuracy & better comfort (rheumatoid arthritis sucks...) or the 1911 rather faster. Darth is on the money about 9mm. With good defensive loads, 9mm & 45 ACP will perform pretty much the same. 9mm practice ammo [currently] is easier to find & cheaper than 45. This allows more practice with the same budget. Competence & shot placement beat caliber. -

But which one to get? PSL is probably going to be at least $1200-ish to $1800 or more. SVD, Tigr, or NDM-86 {chinese Dragunov (SVD) copy} are gonna go for several times that. PSL barrel is pretty thin & whippy, harmoncs change as the barrel heats up & group size can swell dramatically. I've heard & read that the Vepr has a beefier profile barrel & may be less prone to this phenomenon. As to barrel length, I'd say whichever pleases your eye the most.

In my case, it's a stainless Guide Gun with Lyman receiver sight. Then, there's stuff like this. Oy... -

Jurassicool, maybe? You might be tacticool if: you figure out a way to fix a bayonet to your attack hamster... Also, the 458 SOCOM thing, does having an equally large amount of 45-70 mitigate that at all? -
What do I get next?

A pocket pistol is sometimes a good thing to have. S/W 638 is my usual BUG, but old 908 or Bulgy Makarov have served. All would fit your budget, unless you opted for laser grips on the 638. -
I put about 90 rounds of heavy field loads & reduced recoil 00 through my magazine Sunday (no slugs or full-power buck allowed at indoor range) NO malfuntions or misfeeds. Drove down to C2 Tuesday & put about 95 rounds of bulk-pack and various slug & buck downrange. 100% reliability with; 2-3/4" Federal bulk-pack, Fiocchi 00, Winchester 'Military' 00, Winchester #1 Buck, Rio Star slug, Brenneke KO slug, Brenneke 1-1/8 oz Green Lightning slug, 3" Winchester, Remington & Federal 000, Brenneke 1-3/8 oz Black Magic slug. Last mag was an alternating mix of 3 different types buck &a

Mine was in the mailbox Friday night when I got home from work. Took about 20 minutes of judicious file work to fit. Got a chance to try it out today. 90 rounds of field loads & buck with flawless reliability. I'm very happy with the magazine: just ordered 3 more.

Disturbing...

My bad... Did some searches & didn't find earlier thread. Still disturbing... -
This is probably the most disturbing goddamn thing I have ever seen: Direct link to product page seems to be swamped. Main page apologies for problem due to high traffic. I'll bet!http://www.letargets.com/ Looks like training aids for 'oathbreakers'.

Damn! that's a tough one... I'm torn between one of my PSLs & my SGL-31. Twice the ammo or twice the range?
