Firearm BS thread

I have a tiny RG-14 22LR revolver....you stand back 10' and let me shoot two rounds at you......then tell me how you feel!!

 

Yeah, for the unruly refs missing all the calls, duh. Well, that or team mom Susan who keeps forgetting the Capri Suns. Damnit Susan, how many times do we have to remind you, nobody actually likes Tang!

 

Open sights FTMFW at 500 yards

Sorry I was taught to shoot long range with the iron sights

Not that I'm complaining about having optics

 

Initially, this thing looked fun, but how many times did he point that barrel at his own gut trying to fold it back up or put his hand in front of the barrel? Something that I'm not 100% sure where the business end is, is something that I'm not willing to tango with.

 

These won't be around long. It's a gun you stuff in the back of the safe with the original paperwork in the original box for 20 years.

 

2 shot foldable derringer, or a small 380 in a cell case like this

pretty sure I know which I would take

 

Yea, I'd rather have a Zip-22 to show off in 20 years though. Takes 10/22 mags, plus you can mount it to a picatinny rail so you can be super tacticool with a 25rnd 22lr "thing" on the bottom rail of your AR.

But still that thing for $400..meh.

 

Not bad at all. I'm right eye dominant, I'm left handed but I mostly shoot right handed but once in a blue moon I'll switch to left hand. I just love shooting long distance but optics to still fun so I can't hate

 

@HBGIBBY that was kinda my point just shoot a .22. Cheaper and less recoil ( cuz i would bet in that little thing even 380s would have some snap) a .44 mag in a 1" barrel is just more than useless.

 

leos, why are the firearms you all carry dao?

 

Because lawyers

 

They're not, most local agencies are either Glock or M&P (both striker fired, which is not DAO) if the agency supplies the firearms.
If you supply your own some departments have a list of brands/models that they approve and some only have a list that they will not approve.

Federal agencies usually issue Sig 226/229's if I remember which can be SA/DA or DAO.

 

thank you, i was just wondering since i picked up a p229 dao trade in

 

I've got a S&W 5906 that I picked up as a LEO trade-in. It's DA/SA, but the department that was getting rid of them was moving to Glocks. Wish I'd had enough to buy two of the trade-in's; that 5906 is my absolute favorite gun to shoot. The trigger reset in SA mode is sex.

 

What would be the benefits of converting the DAO to a sa/da?

 

SA's generally have cleaner trigger pulls and faster resets, which can help accuracy and speed. DA's have the sort-of advantage of a 'second strike' on a primer and many can be safely carried with a round chambered and the safety off (most don't even have a conventional safety at all) because of their heavy trigger pull.
DA/SA's are the best of both worlds, in my opinion (highlighted because there's many who disagree), letting you carry chambered and 'unsafetied' (typically they have a decocker that also blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin) but then switching over to a faster reset & lighter pull after the initial round has been fired.

As for converting, I'm the lazy sort. For me it wouldn't be worth it to convert a DAO to a DA/SA because of the price and effort generally involved. I'd rather just add to my collection and buy a DA/SA gun instead, lol.
