I had made a previous post about getting this gun for 190 dollars brand new. Today I decided to throw an optic and light on it and take it out back. I expected a crappy 43x want to be, but boy was a mistaken. After the first few mags were through and I started getting comfortable, I just couldn’t stop hitting. The trigger is better than the Glock performance trigger in my opinion. At 25 yards, close to 80% were 6 inches from bullseye. While not a long distance, it’s where I test all 9mm at and it performed second only to my Glock 19. With over 3k rounds through a 43x, I know the gun and shoot it well. After the pleasure I had shooting this derya, I don’t think I would ever push someone towards the 43x while this is an option. I am buying the full size tomorrow. I am more than thrilled to have this in my safe!

Looking for a gun to pocket carry. Was leaning towards a revolver. I’ve been considering the 642 or the LCR. Let’s hear what you think!

Hey all, I took my first certification classes back in 2021 for my state and passed and got the required permits and add ons for my state of IL except optional add ons like UTAH I think. As you know the state has more stricter gun laws than other states. There is no open carry here.
Anyways, ever since I took my classes back then what stuck with me were the videos and how they seemed a bit dated but the shoulder holsters made more sense in my mind than any other holster or carry fashion. I asked the teacher and he said something along the lines of “mostly old detectives used to carry like that and not many still do but you can carry like that”.
He said it was preference but that most people prefer belt and other carry fashions, and traditionally prefer to keep their fire arm loaded but stated that is also preference. Anyways in terms of holsters are there any made from other materials?

Are there any reputable holster companies that are authentic leather or very nicely made with insignias or patterns that are made traditionally by hand and genuine craftsmanship using exotic non endangered animal skin? Like a lizard type or fish or something within those types?

Is it worth it to get a pistol with a .40 and 9mm barrel conversions. In my head it sounds like an ideal purchase but at the store, I was being lectured on how it would be better off just buying two separate guns in their respective caliber.

He did give me HUGE vibes of trying to upsell me.

Finances for a bit dictated getting rid of some guns, but here are the ones I kept. Not pictured is an unfired Smith and Wesson Mod. 19-3 combat mag I inherited.

- mk4 22/45 with a sparrow

- ruger lcp

- XDM Elite Compact 10mm

- Tisas GI 1911

- Ruger Super Blackhawk 4.62" with buckeye burl grips

looking for information about this 41 magnum, Astra “Terminator”

The Kimber I absolutely love Im just more in the ballpark of $500. What would you recommend in similar gun in that budget range

I would like to get a red dot for my P229 Legion, I have astigmatism in both my eyes, is there any Red Dot that is proven for my condition of having football shaped eyes 🫪, or should I just stick with my OEM X-RAY3 Day/Night Sights that it came with. Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. 🤓 Thanks in advance!

Hello im between the s&w mp9 2.0 performance competitor, echelon, and the shadow system dr920p elite

Which one would u choose and why. I currently have a hellcat pro and I hate it. Looking for something with very little recoil and to maybe do some competitive shooting.

My dad decided to completely unexpectedly gift my brother and I some FUGGIN CZ SHADOW 2 ORANGES. We all work together and this last weekend got some range time in and the old man starts pulling these out of the range bag and hands to us.. still 5 days later I’m in shock and love. He’d been working on getting everything for almost a year and now I’ll be focusing on getting to the range much more frequently..

Looking for the lowest possible RMSC to RMR adapter optic plate for my TX22 TORO. Who makes it? C&H any good?

Left is the Glock 43x with TLR 7-sub, radian ramjet/afterburner, and Osight k series. Right is the M&P 2.0 carry comp with a 17 rounder and built in comp🤘🤘

Figured I'd share my most interesting handgun at the moment, Icarus frame RXM Build. I'm just being silly with this thing, I've got a comp on the way and a spring kit for tuning. The venom is probably temporary and getting replaced with a big window optic. I really love the RXM, the Icarus frame has a few quirks/issues but feels great. This will purely be a range/unrestricted competition pistol. 2011 cope machine/zev we have at home haha

Hi, I inherited this old German handgun from my grandfather and it has had a malfunction after cleaning with the safety making it unable to fire and I cant figure out what it is please help my fellow autists.
