Is carrying 2 snubbies a viable concealed carry method?
Recipe for taking out both your balls
>has never handled a DAO revolver and has no idea what he's talking about
Per usual from /k/
That maybe so but at least I've still got both balls as your sweet mother can attest
If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know how heavy the trigger pull is on DAO revolvers and how unlikely itis that you'd have an AD/ND while carrying. But again. You dont know what youre talking about. Probably a noguns or newguns, talking when you should lurk
>2 snubbies
Why stop at 2 when you can carry 6?
>What if it was one guy with 6 guns?
Hey Greenly, Black coffee two sugars.
Trigger weight would be a pain, but I'd really be interested to see a prosecutor tear into someone carrying two revolvers.
>Trigger weight would be a pain
J-frames have pretty damn good triggers, you feel for the click and it's not a problem at all, really
And that's how we know you've never actually owned one. My air weight J trigger measures just a bit over 10 lbs. Its just a few ounces shy of double that of my glock. Doesnt matter how strong you are, that's significantly more force input to the gun that can shift the point of aim. Same reason so many ELR shooters go to ultra light triggers regardless their size / strength.
Are you feeling for the "click" it makes before it fires? Yeah, no shit it's heavier, but it's not as squishy as the trigger on most striker-fired handguns.
Two things:
1- youre making an assumption that the semi pistol its compared to has to be a squishy factory trigger glock. That wasn't stated anywhere as a requirement for the comparison and there plenty of pistols out there with equal or better trigger breaks than a J without being 10+ lbs.
2- in a real defensive situation, youre not going to remember a damn thing about the trigger feel. Once you've made the decision to pull it + use it, you're going to be like everyone else and just mash the trigger (with double the force) until the threat is stopped. Youre not going to carefully + slowly pull through each shot to feel the break in a life or death situation. You really should sign up for a defensive pistol class to try this out in the real world.
>all these words
>jframe go bang
>badguy is dead
Why bother?
>jframe go bang
>badguy is dead
yeah i forgot revolvers do more damage because they're harder to use.
I never said they did more damage.
>you're going to be like everyone else and just mash the trigger
this
Lift more.
Also known as the New York reload!
Only if you dual wield them always
One Springfield Prodigy is like $1,500 and carries 18 rounds of 9mm
For the same price you can buy 6 Rock Island Armory M206 revolvers, that's 36 rounds of .38spl
Why bother with an extra barrel?
>airweights
enjoy not hitting anything with your followup shots.
the recoil of an airweight with wadcutters is completely manageable
>completely manageable
the weight+lack of real grip makes shooting any load an unfun experience.
You're probably gripping it wrong, web of the thumb goes where the hammer would come down (the main advantage of centennial/hammerless) and the pinky wraps the butt of the gun. If you're still having problems with standard pressure .38 special with this grip, it's a problem that most likely needs to be solved in the gym.
>what you had the gall to admit a gun has annoying recoil? well ur either a moron or need to lift more!
or maybe i'll just carry a gun i can fire infinitely faster and more accurately
Hi there baby b***h hands
i don't let feelings of machismo influence my self-defense choices.
Keep telling yourself that
>I FEEL like dis scarewy .38 is weawy hard to shoot >:(
>I FEEL like dis scarewy .38 is weawy hard to shoot
yes, unironically.
I own both a p365 and an airweight snub. If the recoil is too much on the latter, it's probably an operator issue. Stop trying to buy skill.
>Stop trying to buy skill
too late, i already did. putting a red dot on a handgun immediately makes it ten times easier to use. if i can be immediately 'good' at something because i spent a little bit of money, why the frick should i practice a shit ton on an inferior platform so i can be 'slightly gooder'?
i can reliably hit targets at pretty much any distance inside of 75m in rapid succession with good accuracy. you cannot do that with your snub, assuming you even own one.
I don't practice out to 75m because I'm not going to try to engage someone at that distance with a CCW
>person who normally scoffs at statistics made by the government immediately falls back on them when someone dares point out a failing of their gun of choice.
it is legitimately just like clockwork talking to revolver cultists.
Strawman
its not a strawman if its fricking true. get downloaded.
why NOT train to shoot at long distances? its stupid to put artificial limits on what you expect to see irl when there is solid proof of the extreme situations happening. this is like shitting on people for doing anything other than CQB shooting.
>this is like shitting on people for doing anything other than CQB shooting.
except it's not trying to shit on anyone, you train for your personal risk assessment. even having to use your CCW ever is a huge "if" in the first place. you add up all these "ifs" and yeah, sure, it doesn't make any sense to carry anything other than a red dot sighted 15+1 semi-auto with an extra mag and a tourniquet and a flashlight and etc.
I have nothing against semi-autos, hell I mentioned that I bought a p365 because it's "better" than the j-frame in pretty much every way, but there's one way in which it's not - it's less comfortable, and doesn't conform to my body as well. I'd rather have a j frame on me than a semi auto sitting in my drawer
how does a revolver conform to your body better than an automatic
>he doesn't take the revolver bulge
Gay
the hammerless design allows it to sit the in natural "v" shape where my leg meets my abdomen, allowing for completely unrestricted freedom of movement without poking me in the leg or anything. with the semi-auto, the slide pokes out when I try to lodge the pistol there, not even counting that it weighs a decent chunk more
No is putting limits on you and no one is shitting on you, take your fricking meds. All he said was he doesn't train for that. Why do some of you homosexuals take someone saying "I don't do that" as a personal attack? Get over yourself.
>Why do some of you homosexuals take someone saying "I don't do that" as a personal attack?
because revolver users on /k/ have a permanent chip on their shoulder and ALWAYS attack semi-autos in the first few sentences of their thread. then when you call them out they fall back on 'wow how come ur so aggressive stop being a tryhard!'.
if you don't want people to argue with you, stop egging them on.
The revolver shooter is in the room right now, isn't he anon?
we are in a revolver thread anon, i am literally arguing with someone who carries a revolver. so yes, they are in the same room.
Very interesting response. I'll note it on your chart.
Except automaticgays are always the ones sperging out, like the one in this very thread.
Who said anything about government statistics? I just said why I don't train out to 75m with a concealed handgun. I don't try to shoot out to that range with the p365, either.
I recently bought a charter arms and have kinda run into the issue of how to hold it. I usually use full size roper or target grips and run grip extensions on most of my handguns. Any other tips for big hands?
whats the smallest 1911?
As far as actual 1911s are concerned, that would be the Officer size. There are also the 1911-style P238 and P938, however.
Defender is shorter than the Officer (3.5 vs 3).
The real smallest .45 1911 is the Detonics Combat master. Short 6 round magazine, the first 3 inch barrel, the most tacticool pistol of the 70s.
>not ankle holstering them
ngmi
If you actually work out and develop a good physique, you should have a V slot starting from your pubic bone extending right by your femoral and end ling with your quads as they protrude from your pelvis/femur. This area can fit a full size handgun with easy. One summer i wore cut off denims exclusively and also carried a sp01 appendix with minimal printing.
You don't have to justify your bizarre fixation with five-shot revolvers. It's okay if you just like them.
It certainly is viable. Plenty of people carry just 1, so carrying a backup / spare is obviously better than that.
With the comparison to a standard pistol though, I still think its a significant compromise: much worse trigger, much worse sights, no option for an optic, half the sight radius, still has less capacity, requires a 'reload' halfway through (ie drop one, pull and correctly grip the other), and has a compromised grip position. I don't buy the recoil concern others mentioned - theres pretty light 38 loads available that would be comparable to hotter pistol loads, especially in a more compact pistol (like a 10mm, etc).
I once carried 7 snubbies to a protest about the NY safe act.
>two in waistband
>two in ankle holster
>two in shoulder holster
did I get it right? where was the seventh?
3 on the belt. Left hand holster at 8 o clock, right hand holster at 4 o clock, right hand cross draw at 10 o clock.
Everything else was right.
rip ur nads
Why not just carry one subcompact with 10 or 11 round mag?
>only carrying one gun
Its like you want to die
Why not carry 2 subcompact autos with 13 round mags? Get 2 XDs. They're made by 7' tall Balkanian supermen.
2=1 and 1=none.
