Picked up a Vz-58 today.

I have been looking for a Vz-58 for over 6 years now and I finally found one that wasn’t gunbroker pricing and I got enough mags to last a life time. Now only thing I need to do is get the ammo to fill them all lmao.

Five feet makes a difference?

What am I doing wrong here. I made sure that my right hand was loosely gripping the gun, the left was wrapped around the right and gripping it firmly, and my trigger finger was placed on the trigger the same each time.

The circles are about 3 inches in diameter. I had the same results shooting other, similar targets at similar distances. Both groups were shot one after the other and after 50-ish rounds downrange. Each group consisted of 15 rounds.

Twenty feet is spot on but 25 is off? I am sure that it's me, but I don't know what the difference is between the two.

Here’s your sign to make sure your DeAR22 is Super Safe

Finally got this running Super Safe
RTB bolt & 4.5” barrel
Metal super safety & metal lever
Borebuddy super strike firing pin
Borebuddy hardened extractor
Borebuddy 3lbs recoil spring
PLASoldier trip +2 remix
Federal Automatch & CCI Minimag ammo

Running suppressed is still a tiny bit finicky but overall super happy with how it’s running. The borebuddy 3lbs spring and +2 trip were the keys.

I built GunGuesser, basically GeoGuessr but for guns. More importantly, I made a dedicated Cursed Guns game mode for communities like this to enjoy.

the site is called: GunGuesser.com

Please let me know what cursed guns to add, the pool should be larger!

UPDATE: What causes keyholing and how do I fix it? (Y'all were right. It was the paper target)

Original Post

Went to the range to test out the paper target theory, and y'all were right. One target was at 10 yards and the other at 18ish. (but I don't remember which was which).

How do ranges work in states with regulated Mag Capacity?

Florida is going down the shitter extremely fast. Vaccines, education, very blatant graft, grift and corruption. If the orange man tries something after the next elections, I don't really want to be stuck in this shit hole.

We're looking at other states, and a lot of the places that are attractive to us obviously have 10 round mag caps. Which makes me wonder who cares or enforces these things?

Do you folk living in those states have to show your mags before shooting at private ranges? Will anyone even notice if I shoot 13 instead of 10 out of my micro?

At traffic stops are you being asked to show your firearm for inspection?

Seems like an extremely cumbersome and impractical thing to enforce outside of an actual criminal or self defense event.

I've been on hold with Optics Planet for 2 and half hours AMA

Ordered something a couple of days ago, paid for same day processing and it says "Order needs your attention, please contact us" on the order page.

Before anyone asks, I did do the email form and it said someone would get to me in 24 hours, its now past 48 and I'd rather wait on the phone than have them cancel the order.

How valuable would a gun be in a senseless stabbing (self defense)

I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF GUNS TBH

TLDR: is a gun the best option for a surprise stabbing attack with limited reaction time

I live in Atlanta where within the past month three separate women have been stabbed by men, one of the women sadly passed away. All were senseless acts of violence and all were attacks wherein the woman was taken by surprise/attacked from the back. One woman was walking on the busiest walking trail in Atlanta and the other was in a restaurant ordering lunch with her coworker. Many of us women in Atlanta are now interested in self defense weapons obviously, but I’m curious as to how effective a gun would even be for something that happens so quick, where the attacks don’t even follow any interaction with the perpetrator and are not even seen until you look down and blood is pouring out of you. Yes the gun could be used to incapacitate the man after the stabbing, but is it effective for a very quick pull and shoot?? Would something like pepper spray/taser be better?

Wheel gun Wingnuts

After following this sub and all y’all wheelgun wingnuts fine I accept. I want one.

I have a Springfield 1911 9mm, Glock 19 6th gen 9mm, and now I want a damn revolver, probably notching up above the silenced mark iv that was next on my list.

My Springfield was first, Glock next for an open carry gun, and while I have no need for an immediate concealed carry or pocket gun, I like the idea of a hard hitter in a small package that’s not over engineered. Right now s&w 642 in .38 is catching my eye. Any thoughts from the community? I like the enclosed hammer but that’s a new concept to me and don’t know if that’s a selling point or not.

I welcome any feedback thanks

Wheelgun Wednesday

I actually brought this home several weeks ago, but have managed to miss every Wheelgun Wednesday since then, up until now.

New Colt Python, .357 Magnum, 5" matte stainless steel. Original Hogue grips since replaced with walnut target grips.

I've only had her out to the range once but she's big enough that firing full steam .357 wasn't a problem at all. Even without the Hogue rubber, the recoil didn't feel much worse than my subcompact 9mm.

u/emmavaria — 1 day ago

M4E1 AR-15 Lowers In Stock (~$130)

They've been out of stock for months, selling way above MSRP on gunbroker. Especially good timing for VA and RI, with sales bans closing in fast. Black only for now, other colors potentially coming.

No affiliation with the shops but they're legit.

For the uninitiated: lower receivers are the serialized "assault weapon" in the eyes of the law, but are just a rectangular frame the rest gets attached to. The M4E1 is made by Aero Precision, widely considered an excellent quality/cost value.

Do you guys think its stupid to run a riser with an LPVO? If so why?

Hey guys, just looking for opinions on running LPVOs on Risers. I understand that it depends on whats comfortable for everyone, but i was curious if there's some drawback im overlooking. Thanks.

New shot timer! Suggestions?

I posted a little while back looking for some critiques of my shooting and yall gassed me up and dropped some great knowledge. After that, I decided to go ahead and take my training to the next level so I ordered a SG timer Go. Anyone have experience with this timer and their app?

I’m looking forward to training with this and wondering what some of y’all‘s routines for dry fire and live fire training using a timer look like. Right now my regular live fire training is limited to a 25 yard indoor range. I don’t like shooting the ar15 in that range so I’m mainly looking for pistol drills but I should be getting my form one back soon for a two stamp m4-22 to use in place of my main rifle indoors.

I have holsters for both pistols pictured but can’t draw from them at the range. Thanks a bunch!

CHL license approved, anxious about purchasing my first firearm.

28f for reference, but I don't think it really matters in this situation! I'm interested in CC for self defense purposes after having a few scary situations walking around the city I live in. Yesterday I got a call from the sherriff's office that my CHL application was approved and my card will be mailed presently.

I've been taking small-group target practice lessons for a few months and feel comfortable shooting, and have been graduated up to practicing doubles and TCA's with the instructor while my peers are still working on getting good groups on their own time.

I still feel so incredibly anxious about purchasing and carrying a firearm. Mentally I'm very stable, I know all the safety rules/laws, I have a plan of where to keep the safe, all of that, but I can't shake my nerves on actially owning one and having it on my person.

Any advice on getting over that initial fear? TIA!!

Also, if anyone has reccs for CC models, it would be much appreciated. I'm most comfortable with Glocks (both 47 and 19 gen 5) but they seem a bit bulky for concealed carry.

EDIT: apologies for the redundant wording in the title 😔 I promise I don't also say ATM machine lol
