Nice

Only reason I bought a carbine is if they ever do an assault rifle ban. At least we will still have 9mm ammo and I can make the best of it. (Even tho carbines will still be considered illegal)

Spicy tango moment.

9mm seems to be a standard

The Glock goes 💥

9mm is pretty cheap ammo so you can shoot it more often

Definitely put the most rounds through my 9mm

Not nowadays😬

@HUNTER4639 I’m over here thinking my carbine is gonna be a great apocalypse weapon because 9mm is the most abundant ammo. The quarantine proved that was a lie lol

Loollll

every 4 years ammo gets hoarded

Bro my friend got his first ar and im still with my rifle XD

I am planning on buying a weapon and i wanted to see what you kind people thought of it

https://hk-usa.com/hk-models/vp40/

Its a VP40 handgun chambered in 40. S&W

New to guns so gonna go through the process

you know, visit the sheriff, have my application all of that

standard size mag i belive ?

My latest acquisition.

@ThermoFlaskChapStick427 HK are good. What's drawing you to them and a .40 caliber?

So i keep hearin about this thing called trigger discipline. am j doing it right?

I mean

You physically can't pull the trigger

The final stage of trigger discipline is just removing the trigger all together

or the bicep

The mag kind of sets off my ocd, but the rest looks very nice.

@HUNTER4639 I am looking to a 40. Caliber because it has more stopping power than a 9mm, but not magazine capacity of a 45. ACP. It is a nice mid-range round that is fairly common. H&K is a very high quality weapons manufacterer, and I have seen very popular reviews from Hickok45 and others. It is a relatively small handgun so easy to conceal.

Sounds good. I don't have any experience with .40.

Unfortunately I live in Jersey and the only 10 round mags available when I bought them at the store were that color.

To the gun owners/machining enthusiasts, what are your thoughts on 80% lowers?

https://www.80-lower.com/

My thought is about 2 to 3 weeks ago an 80% lower from Aero would have cost about $30 lol, on a serious note though I think building your own is a great way to save a few bucks (if you have all the tools needed to complete it already) I personally would just buy a complete lower because I DON'T have all the tools so it's cheaper for me to go that route.

@ChronicallyChronic is that a kel Tec sub 2000?

I am interested in those

For someone who wants to become a gun owner (17 right now, Florida) what are some tips you guys may have? Anything helps.

@Erby If you're gonna take a whack at that, use a jig, cobalt drills and a good, sharp end mill

6061 is fairly easy to machine but you still have to have some understanding of speeds and feeds if you want to get it done properly. Also, DO NOT try to do anything other than plunge cuts with a drill press
