mash is great

KVD ago

That's a nice consice history. Bot, i I love my single actions. Esp as ammo gets ridoick $.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

answer to everything is load your own

always

KVD ago

You're a reloader? I was planning to buy all the shit, but life and other stuff. Also I just love the process of unloading and reloading a SA. It's therapeutic. And I shoot them well. Ever spent time with a SA gun? Iron sights are nice.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

therapeutic

this

Ever spent time with a SA gun?

bolt action yes

single action no

everything i have is iron sights

look at this

thebearfromstartrack ago

I inherited a bunch of guns. Like a 1942 Springfield 30.06. Savage 16 guage double barrel. SKS...Never shoot them. Just have them.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

hellllll yeah

check out my sks post

my dad has an american enfield in 06

great cartridge

thebearfromstartrack ago

Oh...also a 30-30 (wild west lever action rifle) Winchester. I once shot the lightning rod on top of a weather vane, on top of a barn at about 100 yards, while standing, no scope, with first shot, with another guy's 30-30 on a bet. He got so pissed off, he shot a cat in a tree. He's since quit drinking.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dooo eeet

thebearfromstartrack ago

There does not appear to be a SINGLE mark on it (manufacturer). It LOOKS a lot like the 30.06.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

sounds beautiful dude

thebearfromstartrack ago

Has a built in sliding site too. I thinik I want to shoot it now.

6double5321 ago

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. You twixt my nether bits, mentioning the 1911

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

its really important tho

Battlefat ago

I’ve got one, full size government model that’s tight and slick and skeletonized and beaver tailed and chrome barreled, but with all that customization, the manufacturer couldn’t be bothered to cut a rail in her. Parkerized with standard rosewood grips. Imagine she’s got tight jeans on and pearls. Nothing fancy, but to the right kind of guy a goddamned ‘11. I carry that bitch full cocked and locked in a leather US MP holster that hangs off my fucking hip like a saddle bag. It’s “concealed” in so much as the extended 10 round McCormick Mag makes it look like a babies arm is bunching up my shirt tail. She shoots straight and makes one big fucking hole where I point. It’s so much heavy steel it’s ludicrous and I love it

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude good shit

thats what i need

simple chunk of metal

i think i need blued and walnut

ExpertShitposter ago

so much single action army, you had me fooled for a moment

clamhurt_legbeard ago

truth

but you need to know the heritage

honestly this entire post is just so i can talk about the next gun and have you understand lol

Battlefat ago

Oh I seen’t it and am grateful for the read. For all my heavy stuff today clammy, this was right on time

clamhurt_legbeard ago

good stuff dude

i need to make a list to ping everybody and make sure

Epictetus_Hierapolis ago

Mmm yeah. I'm all about the 1911. https://imgoat.com/uploads/5d8ce590ad/196248.jpg

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude niiiiice

beautiful example of a modern one

no frills but it has improvements

are those night sights

theyre much improved over the original even in daytime

Epictetus_Hierapolis ago

Night sights, but very limited. I am not a fan of lit sights because of them fucking with my contacts, so they are chalked over. I've used the weapon enough that I can blind fire and hit close enough to center mass to kill.

I wanted a sidearm that could take a hard beating. When I do live fire, I beat the shit out of my body and my weapons. If I'm throwing myself into the prone from a dead sprint, I wanted something that I knew could take the abuse and not go off on me. 1911 fit the bill.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

hard beating

6000 rounds straight

stopping only long enough to dunk it in water

hard to beat that

Rellik88 ago

Nadeshda ago

Bless your heart and thank you for this! I was held up with some serious irl stuff, forgive me for being late. I feel exhausted but very blessed you are here sharing this awesome info with us. Have a good night clammy!

freedumbz ago

I have one that I shoot.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

good stuff dude

i havent actually shot a 1911 much at all

but its so damn important

in a way half of the pistols i have shot were all 1911 derived

dat short recoil

CultureOfCritique ago

Another well-written and very informative post. Keep it up clammy!!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thank you kind goat

what are your feelings on

the 1911

CultureOfCritique ago

It was way ahead of its time... the tilting and locking barrel really transformed firearms design and the grip safety was pretty innovative too. Classic Americana-- I need to buy one at some point. Preferably a milsurp one but they're so expensive :(

clamhurt_legbeard ago

transformed firearms design

true shit dude

like huge impact

but its john moses browning

obviously it was gonna be great lol

CultureOfCritique ago

For sure, he was a genius.

Do you ever watch Forgotten Weapons, hosted by Ian, aka Gun Jesus? You'd like his channel.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

only every single one

im sure hes a big influence

along with tales of the gun

and the weekly guitar thread on v/guitar

Dean_Wilhelm_Hawkins ago

Stand by for butt hurt Glock boys.......

clamhurt_legbeard ago

glock will have its tirn

i bought a glock but havent bought a 1911 yet

ExpertShitposter ago

didnt a nigga steal ur glock?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

yes

mightve been a burrito nigger

clamhurt_legbeard ago

guys i forgot my ipad at work and hadnt transferred the article to my secret online staging area

thats why its 9 min late

had to drive back lol

thedirtypuma ago

I'm even more impressed now that I know you do these on an ipad. All that copy and pasting on a touch screen. Ugh....

Great article as always. Good choice on first pistol. Do you have any recommendations for someone wanting to but a 1911?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i dunno my personal inclination is one of the companies that originally made ot like springfield or colt

personally id want a historically representative one like originally served

i think that plays a big part in it

kimber can be fancy but also very finicky for example

theres so much you can do with a 1911 that different companies specialize in different variants

really depends on what you want it for
