Which cartridge caliber do you prefer?

CosPetia · June 19, 2014, 08:57:10 AM

Hi friends,

I would like to ask you which cartridge caliber do you prefer when shooting for fun? I personally prefer to use 9x19mm. or 38SP. I also use Makarov pistol as well as Smith & Wesson revolver.

.22 LR. It's the only thing I can afford to shoot these days.

OK, what brand(s) do you prefer?

Whatever is on sale.

I just pull out whatever I feel like shooting and buy ammo for that.

I love shooting my .204, but it's hard to find ammo for it at times.

I just bought a Walther PPQ Navy SD in 9mm so I'll be burning through that for the next while. Took it up to the range for the first time today. The trigger is amazing! (Sights are off though, pulling 3/4" left at 30').

Nice. I have the PPS. Does your PPQ have the threaded barrel?

Silent Disapproval Robot · June 19, 2014, 03:41:27 PM

Yes. The 5" M2s aren't commonly available in Canada yet and the M1s have a 102mm barrel. 106mm is the minimum allowed in Canada so the only legal PPQs are those with the threaded barrel or the new 5" M2s. Mine's an M1 with the paddle style mag release.

I liked that rifle you got, JH, that looked like it was straight out of Space Marines. Did you ever get a chance to shoot it?

sold for diapers.

Now that's just wrong!

Hmmmm...which one? The Tavor in the WANT! Thread?

Toonces · June 20, 2014, 12:25:54 AM

LOL, did you really have to ask? Actually I didn't realize that was a "want". I thought you bought it.

Silent Disapproval Robot · June 20, 2014, 12:32:41 AM

If you're going to get one, get the trigger conversion. The default trigger is a bag of ass and grit. It's what convinced me to get the H&K SL8/G36 conversion instead (and I'm still kicking myself for it. That 3.5x scope in the carry handle has to be the absolute worst scope I've ever used.)

How do you find the sights on the PPS?

I'd like to make an adjustment to the windage on mine but there doesn't seem to be any way to do it other than a drift pin and a hammer. I'm worried about breaking the tritium night sights if I start whaling on it.

Yeah. I never got the Tavor. The laws in NY changed before it really hit the commercial market. I've seen them in gun shops when I visit my folks in Florida or my brother in Texas. My active gun shooting days are over until I manage to get out of this pathetic state.
