Premium Ammo a Scam Sarah Palin 12/03/17(Sat)07:25 No. 13937 [Reply]

I think Premium JHP handgun ammo is a scam. The ammo companies are trying to trick gun nuts into buying expensive ammo. Cheap hollow points may clog and fail to expand or over expand and lack penetration so people chose premium JHPs. Just buy FMJ ammo for your pistol. FMJ is very deadly, even in 9mm, and you won't have to worry about under-penetration. The shooting rampage in Arizona killed 6 and wounded 13. That's almost a 1/3 kill ratio. I'm almost certain the shooter in Arizona used 9mm FMJ. That proves 9mm is deadly enough in FMJ. I'm sure a good JHP round is deadlier then a FMJ round, but I doubt there is a huge difference in the lethality of JHP over FMJ ammo. You are better off with the round you can afford to practice with more.

Why would you buy 100+ JHPs when you can only carry 30 legally?

FMJs over penetrate and do far less damage than JHPs that expand and transfer far more energy into the target. It's been proven time and time again that FMJs can and will actually deflect organs, veins and arteries unless you hit them dead on or closer to the center of their mass than the sides.

If you put FMJs in your guns for defense I certainly hope you never have to use them, or have a good lawyer.

I think there are far more noguns here than in /k/ Jesus Christ. Guns are like pets, if you can't afford to feed them right, DON'T get one.

BVAC once fired brass reloads. BVAC reputation is excellent over decades. My XDm .40 has over 1500 rnds 180 gr JHP of this through it, excellent ammo for price, 134 bucks for 500. Hornady or Federal 26 bucks for 20 rnds, fuck that.

Good taste, sir. While a gentleman should never show off, a fine watch is always a sure sign of /class/. I have a Seamaster from a late uncle, that is at least 50 years old (the watch, not the uncle) and still keeps near perfect time.

i have recently started looking up the aa12 and i am quite amazed at its recoil reduction principles 90percent reduction is quite insane i am unable to find a clear cut model of how this is achieved or how to make it if some gun savy 7chaners have any idea it would be greatly appreciated

I want to get a double-barrel shotgun for general use (range fun, home defense). But I don't know of any manufacturers that make them? All of them either make "tactical" pump actions or hunting pumps or semi-autos.

Point out some company names for me to go look at.

Basically over/under shotguns tend to be more accurate (having a single sight plane that doesn't block as much of the shooter's vision), recoil less and can be had for much cheaper than side-by-side shotguns of a similar quality.

The general consensus is that a O/U is a better all-around gun, and is thus more popular, but the SxS is better for hunting because they tend to be lighter. But since most hunters now use "universal" semi-auto or pump action shotguns, demand has waned.

Combine his record with what he's already told the Russian "president" about the missile defense and you have exactly why he didn't want to jeopardize his re-election by passing gun-control during his first term.

/Tin Foil Hat On
No worries though because now the "threat of domestic terror" is much greater than we feared and the gubbmint needs to ban firearms to protect us. Because after all, if they ban guns then we can't resist their tyranny when they rise up against us.

Are you new to the game of politics, troll?

Presidents want to be re-elected (ALWAYS). In order to get re-elected they can't royally piss of too many people. Gun-control during the first term would be the death sentence for Obama.

why is roosevelt and roosevelt considered bad guys, why is raygun and nixon considered good guys in this?

they're the ones who fought big business corporatism that funds the shit that's pulled today

as for regulations, in canada we know they almost always have an effect on prices

it's why we *use* them in the first place, but unlike americans we recognize it's not all good or all bad and judge individual cases for ourselves

america's problems come from it being 50% a backwater hick country, and 40% a metropolitan socialist's club and 10% a "YES, OPPRESSION FOR THE MASSES" nation

I haven't seen too much of the gun owning population speak out against the behaviour of the government, rather the opposite

The recent shooting in Colorado has gotten people up in arms, or rather up against arms. I heard the words "assault weapons ban" on the news a few days ago and thought "that wont pass through congress," until I remembered that it had already happened once before.

Are there any ex-Marines on /w/? I just graduated high school and don't have any money for college. I signed up for delayed entry, but can drop out any time. I've been going to P.T. at my recruiter's station for a while. I'm starting to have second thoughts about becoming a bullet shield, though. Any thoughts?

Also, I grew up shooting guns. Mostly .45s and .22s. So I'm not disillusioned about it being some sort of Modern Warfare shit. My cousin just got out of the Marines with a combat M.O.S., and he didn't even go to the Middle East.

That's pretty interesting, and I've been thinking that Asia is where I might end up, but I was almost thinking about China more than Korea. Since the 90's, China has been sending all of their female children to be adopted by Westerners. Now that young Chinese men are maturing without a woman, they'll be more obliged to join the military and go get their women back.

That really doesn't surprise me. Modern militaries need a massive administrative force, and, in the United States at least, most of that is partitioned among the Army, Navy and Air Force, with most manual labor falling into the hands of the Marine Corps (logistics and supply trains not included).

Up until now I have acquired only a 1911 and 92fs(Both Taurus so I technically it'd be PT1911 and PT92) as far as pistols go. I have handled and shot a few glocks, a S&W500(ridiculous), springfield XD, Ruger mark3 and that's it. Always been more of a rifle guy.
Anyway since I have basically the two most popular pistols I would like my third to be kind of fringe ya'know? I was wondering if anyone here had experience with the Jericho(aka "Baby Eagle"),I've read several reviews saying it was a marvelous pistol but I like to get as much feedback as I can before I make the plunge.

I've spent a lot of money on hand guns over the years and by far my favorite is one of the cheapest... a Witness in Wonder Finish.

I bought it in 10mm and run 200grn hard cast for woods carry. I liked it so much that I later got a 9mm conversion for CCW.

The only issues with the gun is that its made for people with large hands. A set of thin wood grips helps quite a bit if you have smaller hands. Also the blue finish is crap.. wonder finish is super durable.

Many of the witness models are "old stock" even if you order them new they might come with the old style magazines. If the mag you get has a spacer in front of the follower (rather than behind) then throw it out and order a new mag. The old mags with the red follower and spacer in the front stovepipe like a bastard

I have a .40 s&w Jericho 941/Baby Eagle. It is a good pistol, I've only put about 500 round through it. It was jam free through all of those. As a CZ-75 clone it really only has one good boon over the witness, an in-frame slide. In frame slides are inherently more accurate at the same price point of a slide over frame pistol. That being said, if it is customization you want go witness.
