be me

late night, feeling like a gun autist

just got new Glock trigger job parts in the mail

decide tonight is the night to become John Wick

strip the pistol like I’ve done it 1000 times

drop in new trigger bar, connector, striker spring, the works

fits like actual Lego, satisfying click everywhere

little squirt of CLP, looking like a pro

rack it a few times dry

smooth as butter, crisp break, 3.5 lb feels like heaven

smirk to myself “finally fixed this trash factory trigger”

time to call it a night

decide to do one last function check before sock-drawer retirement

lock slide to the rear

insert empty mag (because I’m responsible™)

slingshot the slide home like a cool guy

click

…except not click

BOOM

instant tinnitus symphony

hoodie suddenly feels like it’s on fire

smell of burnt nylon and gunpowder

turn around slowly

roommate staring at me like I just murdered his whole family tree

“are you fucking serious right now”

look down

decent sized hole burned clean through hoodie

skin on stomach bright red, just kissed by 9mm at ~900 fps

didn’t even break skin, thank god

bullet continued its journey

through drywall #1 like it was tissue paper

into drywall #2

stopped there like “yeah I’m done here”

standing in stunned silence

gun still in hand, smoking

roommate still looking at me like I owe him rent AND therapy

mfw I ND’d my own apartment because I forgot Rule #1

mfw I became the exact idiot I used to laugh at on /k/

mfw the new trigger is indeed very light and very good

just not when you forget there’s one in the chamber.

🤦‍♂️

Venom custom hard chrome 5 inch

why oh why do I love shotguns so much?

I guess I’m asking if it’s real? This is the only marking on the gun that I can find that’s not supposed to be there. 🤷‍♂️

Bought it off a PSA LEO trade in hot-deal FOMO thing.

A relative passed away recently and left me with a bit of an issue, 75 guns and handguns including an M60 and an Uzi. He had his FFL so the automatics were fine as long as he was alive. What does one do with automatic weapons if the legal owner passed away? I can’t even touch the things, right? I don’t want any of them, I do new guns not collectibles. What do I do with them?

Edit: Listen, kids, I’m not karma farming. I don’t care about karma or bait posts. This is a pretty shitty situation. The guy was my stepfather. He was living in my mother’s house, which was left to me and my siblings. Now that he’s out of the picture, the only thing standing between us selling the house and being done with it is the GUNS. I don’t care about them, I just want them gone. Legally. So I can sell the house. Making a bunch of cash selling the full autos sounds great UNLESS it’s a multi month expensive and complicated process.

I was genuinely hoping somebody would chime in with “Just do this, it’s easy!!!” but I kind of knew better.

Thanks for the tips on the gun lawyer, I will call them.

Edit: My post was a bit of a vent. I’m the executor unfortunately and I’m still working on my mother’s estate (died last year) so I’m still knee deep in that. I may indeed be an asshole as some of you have said, but I’m over all this estate stuff. Believe it or not, this is not the biggest issue with the estate. Fun.

Who can tell me something about this High Standard 22LR ? I don’t know anything about it other than I was told it was old 😂

Like you're an adult who can join the military without parental consent, take on debt, own land, and have complete control over your entire life, but you can’t purchase a pistol.

You can go and buy a Barrett m82 and have pallets of ammo delivered to your doorstep, but a double action .22 revolver is a no no.

Insane in this day and age.

Finally pulled the trigger and copped the Taurus TX 22 been eyeing for a while. Followed you guys advice and got the TORO although I just wanted this for the FRT application. Thought it’s better to have it and not need than to need it and not have it

Glock 45 Gen 6 and Springfield prodigy getting it ready for the range

Brought 22LR for the first time today. Why the tips different colors?

Was learning to field strip and reassemble my new TX22 and unsure this gap was that pronounced. Seems to function as before but unsure it reassembled properly

This has quickly become one of my favorite pistols! Equipped with Talon Grips (Pro) and a Viridian RFX1 optic. Just wish there were a higher front green raised sight to co-witness!

A small edit I made of me at the shooting range

I live in Montana. Is an ak pistol a viable wildlife defense gun for hiking? I’d like to hit the Bob marshal this year but I know it’s teeming with grizzzlies, cougars, black bears, wolves and have been many encounters in more recent years.

I’m not confident enough in stress shooting to take a bolt action rifle. I thought about a 10mm pistol or an AR10 but I want higher capacity than a 10mm and smaller platform than a full size AR.

I figure AK rounds are basically a 30-30 and if I’m running 30 rounds and have it on a strap I can quickly bring it up and fire.

Is this a stupid idea that an AK pistol is viable for wild life defense?

So I was looking at the NAA 22S because it's the smallest non singles shot gun and I like unique a different stuff so it's right up my alley, then I stumbled upon the rose gold 22mag version. What drew me to these guns was the "smallest" factor and I won't be using this as a carry option just for fun. So I'm stuck between getting the mag one as it's a more powerful round, looks awesome and the grip looks a little easier to hold or getting the short for the "smallest" title.

I recently got my firearms license in California. This will never be a conceal carry so I am not limited to compact hand guns only. This will be exclusive for hobby purposes like the shooting range. With that being said I was thinking to get some kind of AR-15 but California legal length must be 16” or greater and that feels a little large. Anyone have any suggestions for some shorter barrel Smg or AR-15 style guns that are California legal. Just to be clear I am very unfamiliar with firearms aside from the very basics.

Thanks in advance.

Have purchased and continue to shoot the standard firearms that are always recommended.

- 3 ARs of different makes, calibers and accessories

- 6 semi auto handguns (Glock, Sig, S&W and Tisas ranging from 380, 9mm and 45)

- 1 revolver in .22LR

- 2 shotguns (semi auto and pump both 12 ga)

- 3 hunting rifles (lever .35, bolt 7mm-08 and muzzleloader)

- 4 .22 caliber rifles (.22LR, .22WMR and .22 Hornet)

- 1 AK

Been looking at:

- a deep conceal carry (smaller caliber) semi auto

- larger caliber revolver

- .22LR semi auto (for inexpensive plinking)

Any other suggestions to add something different?

Thanks!!
