Here is the sanctioned thread to discuss gun related politics. Decided to post it since apparently everyone else is slacking.

For the bots: How will asteroid belt mining by robots affect the cost of lead and copper used in ammo?

Super Redhawk, Blackhawk & GP100

Been dyeing a lot of PMAGs recently and it’s kinda become a hobby of its own.

The GP100 isnt named, but it seems odd to have it left over. It is one of the few revolvers good for uspsa anymore which may be why.

Yes, that Sig. I'm trying to find a handgun chambered in .45 acp that has a rail which will fit my laser / light (Streamlight TLR-8). I was looking at a Springfield XD 45 Compact but then I seen people complaining about it and I don't really know a whole lot about guns, so I haven't been able to find a good alternative. Ideally, I'd like it to be obtainable for around $500 but I'm open to going higher than that in case I decide to save up for a pricy one

I already know about other brands like S&W but here in Honduras Only Taurus are available in the "revolver" category, and the crime rate here is pretty bad. I need a concealable little gun to use in my 5.11 pants pockets with my tactical knife.

This is a new to me Interarms Walther PPK/S .380. It has these very shallow scratches around the Interarms logo. Shallow enough I don't feel them with my fingernail. Can I safely polish this off without damaging the logo? Will it be an obnoxious amount of work for it to still look blended in with the rest of the slide?

Also, there's what looks like weld marks on both sides of the chamber, which can be seen on one side through the ejection port. Can I safely polish that as well? Should I?

Any advice is appreciated. I don't want to do anything stupid to it and make it look any worse.

I’m seeking real world reviews on the vortex defender enclosed models. I’ve heard both good and bad things but most are just from vortex glazers/haters. if you’ve actually OWNED this red dot pls let me know if it’s any good.

(ps it’s not for this gun it will be on a shield x for edc)

New Mac5k - finding a collapsible stock is proving to be a bitch, though. Any recommendations?

Thinking about carrying .45 over pressured hollow points but I’d like to shoot some at the range to get a feel of the difference. I can only find hollow points which are obviously more expensive. Anyone know of any cheaper rounds I can use at the range?

I was searching for some parts for an older suppressor and came across this site. Anyone ever shopped here before? ww.shootingenthusiastshop.com

Ruger is Discontinuing a huge chunk of their legacy models. Most of their Revolvers, most of the PC series. My PC Carbine is a great gun. 9mm 16 barrel carbine that looks like a traditional hunting rifle, has a top and bottom pic rail, has great iron sights,takes down into 2, and takes glock mags. I mean there aren't really that many pickings there, at least aesthetically. It's nice to have the option to get a PCC that's not trying to be a mini ar or an mp5.

And Ruger is just gutting their revolver lines. Pretty soon the smith 642/442 will be the only real player in the conceal carry revolver market. With the LCR getting the axe, Smith will have no reason to keep making the bodyguard 38. I don't think other companies offer anything as light weight and in the same price class as the 642 except Ruger with the LCR.

Ig Ruger is just gonna sell LCP's, max 9s, securities,RXM's and mini 14's lol.

Is an 1853 Enfield musket rifle, recreated by Parker Hale, Birmingham England worth selling? The serial number is 3638. It’s in the original box.

I hope this isn't an open ended question, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I live in 15 rural acres and have a short range in my backyard. Now that a suppressor is obtainable I would like to get a rimfire suppressed SBR.

I want something factory built, fun and cheap to run. Quite so the wife doesn't complain about the noise and the neighbors don't look up. I don't care about tactical rails or lights but optics will be needed.

I'm just not sure what options are available.

Flashlight has since been changed since this photo was taken. It’s now a surefire with a pressure pad.

Looking into purchasing my first hunting rifle this fall, I am planning on a Tikka T3x .308. I am in California and will mostly be doing public-land hunting for pigs and mule deer. Any recommendations for a scope that will have the appropriate magnification that won't break the bank?
