Which holsters do you use for CC/competition and which will you never use again?

You absolutely do if you’re going to carry a real gun around all day. I swear to god if you post some pipsqueak .32 or snub nose revolver you put in your pocket once a month.

Man I'm a little nervous. My Bodyguard 2.0 is my first owned gun. I take my shooting test for CC next Sunday. I have shot it a lot, but I'm still what I think is a beginner in this world, and the distance is I think twenty-one feet. I can't go to the range till I'm back in town with my guns.
I think I will pass as I have apparently vastly more experience than the goddamn people who are signing up for the class. Shit, I thought I was irresponsible doing it with like 6 months ownership + shooting and consistency. Some of these people said shit like
>I have never shot a gun
>I don't own a gun
>I've held a gun six times in my life, and fired two shots
WTF? Why would you want to carry a firearm around if you're not going to devote time to gitting gud? Like seriously, I was over chilling and talking with the instructor, trying out his unloaded spread of handguns, clearing jams, following the drop-mag-rack-twice-visually-physically-inspect-firing-chamber shit like it was second nature, because it is. I like guns and I like being alive and I like others alive, so I was kinda terrified walking out of when class was over. I'm more frightened of gun owners than what's on my streets -- people who had to be taught how to check for an empty chamber MULTIPLE times and are now walking among us (tho I plan to carry chambered if I pass).
Any other anons getting their permit soon?

Oh also Unique made a bunch of old ass busted ass ratchet ass .22s, .380s and .32s until the 70s or perhaps later, the most modern of which might be the DES 69? (nice)

To get a permit in my state, you need:
>8 hours of classes (2x 4hr classes)
>pass a 50-round shooting test at 21 feet with X accuracy on target
>WRITTEN test (it's just safety and situations)
>Wait a week after turning in your passing grade to the sheriff
>Basically get booked for no crime -- fingerprints, lineup, all that
>Wait another week
>Permit arrives in mail
I'm still doing it all. I hope some of the people in my class retake or study harder. I heard some crazy answers when the instructor was asking.
>"Can you shoot a guy who HAS a gun, but since you drew on him, he's running away and has his back turned?"
>Of course not, wtf
>Several of them say "absolutely" because, "He's got a gun and could hurt others."
Another fucking zinger from these guys
>"Alright, so when you carry, you're going to want to carry with hollow point ammunition-"
>Dude raises his hand and speaks
>"Actually I'm renewing and I've always carried ball munitions"
>Instructor just pauses
>"Well, you really should be using hollow point."
>Gravy seal keeps going
>"See, I don't want to shoot someone to kill them -- I think that'd be a bad look in court. So I shoot with FMJ so I can hit the target, but not kill it."
>Instructor sighs and tries to tell him that FMJ penetrates really easily so if he has to draw and shoot he could easily hit something through his target
>Hollow point will drop someone real fast
>"No, I'm not gonna try and take a life." <---- this guy is trying to carry a lifetaking weapon around
The ex-mil guys who were doing the class and I talked a bit and basically said we both need to wear body armor now

Aight maybe I'm wrong. Help me understand.
I assume that if you shot a dude in public in his back when he's clearly trying to flee that'd be murder. Like how people catch those charges when pharmacists chase people out of their shops with guns and cap them on the ground.

Ah, gotcha. THAT makes sense to me. I guess experience would teach me what the difference looks like. But I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction on that.
>M-Maybe... I'm the retard...?
It's not impossible lads..
Another hypothetical then: let's he is armed, but you shot him and it staggers him enough to where he's practically unable to operate his weapon. He is still trying, but you're not sure he won't bleed out first

It really depends but there have been several cases where shooting someone in the back has been justified. In most states* defense of other people is covered in lethal force.
There’s tons of videos of criminals shooting at people while running away, really all you need is that you saw them still pointing the gun at you.
Video cameras make things more difficult, since self defense is base off your reasonable belief that your life is in danger but cameras could show a different story. Like you thought he was shooting at you but it was actually a car backfiring or something. Even if you were wrong but there was more than enough reason to believe you were right you would be covered: see a very realistic looking fake gun. In reality your life wasn’t in danger at all, but there is beyond a reasonable doubt that your life was in danger.

I have the light only model. I went into a pond with it on (intentionally) a few years ago and the light turned on by itself (I know its not water proof) and wouldn't turn off until it took the batteries out.
I disassembled it and left it out to dry for a week. Sill works.

pic related when i carry my p229, it's one of the old ones with the legacy slide and no rail so it's difficult to find compatible new holsters for and shoulder holsters are comfy for big pistols. it conceals pretty well under a coat.
i don't love the thumb screws but other than that it's good. i can draw pretty quickly from it and with it drawn up tight it doesn't feel loose or weird. it's also much better for riding in cars.
>>
>>64894645
Pistols with suppressors still require hearing protection, they are not whisper quiet, the chamber pop is will cause ringing in your ears unless you’re already deaf like me. If you want something really quiet you should look at smaller bore, like 5.7 suppressed or .22 lr/wmg
The bigger the bore the bigger the noise signature, 9mm 147 gr suppresses better than 230 gr .45 ACP.

I know people used to CC G19s all day everyday for 30 years all around the world, but I can't manage to CC that small thing in a comfy way, even with a clipdraw, with my regular everyday white collar deskjob family man attire. And it still lacks a light. Granted that +1 base pad is far too big, but it's the smallest I can find in my non-US country. I mean do you need a special gun belt for your office suit pants in order to carry such a tiny gun ?

>>64894645
The USP requires an extra adapter to attach a light. Not a great option if that's your stated purpose. If you already own the USP then have at it, but if buying new, might as well go with a modern 9mm, because this >>64894771.

>Which holsters do you use for CC/competition and which will you never use again?
My Muddy River IWB has handled 3 different CC options over the last 10 years. I love it with all my heart; it is the best holster I've ever had (and I paid $300+ for a Wright Leather OWB to try that, only to hate it after a week - great holster, just OWB is not my thing). A fucking $50 holster has lasted me 10 years.
Muddy River doesn't offer a soft leather option for a light. I just bought a Craft Holster to try out that can accommodate a light and optic for my CC9. I'm optimistic; will be sad if I have to move on.

unfathomably based shoulder holster enjoyer
this is retarded but I want to carry my Five-Seven in one, it's (and the mags) absolutely fucking gigantic but 20+1 rounds of high velocity blue tipped ouchie bullets with .22 magnum recoil that's so light you could but a WML on it and it would actually make the recoil even lower actually sounded extremely rad, especially in the winter with a coat
no fuckin clue where I'd get one, probably custom I assume

>>64895045
Clipdraw theres your problem.
You need a real holster. You might think i need the smallest gun nah what you put the gun in matters more. A good belt and holster are needed. Clipdraws like wearing a plastic bag on your feet and calling em shoes.
>>
>>64895095
where and how do you wear it? I've got an FN Reflex (the newer ones with the manual safety) and even with that small of a gun I stab myself in the thighs or stomach depending on the ride height
I got a Bradec holster since they're cheap and I was gunna use it as my like, tester holster to figure out where to even wear one or if I even like having kydex shoved into my cock area. I'm not worried about the gun ever going off or anything even in a nylon holster with the manual slide safety... so maybe a soft holster and mag carrier might work? I've tried it at like a 5-6oclcock and it's actually pretty comfortable. I really hate not being able to sit down or bend over without having to adjust my shit or just deal with getting jabbed somewhere... so the 6oclock was actually really comfortable but then your gun can show easily if you bend over and obviously has slightly more difficult access and its not out infront of you
>>
>>
>>64895125
>where and how do you wear it?
I'm left handed, so 9 o' clock.
>I stab myself in the thighs or stomach depending on the ride height
I don't do appendix carry so I can't comment on that but when I'm out at lunch or wherever, basically anywhere sitting down, it's like a slight tug on the belt/pants. I carry with a ratchet belt from Nexbelt. I barely notice it but I notice it enough to feel weird when I am not carrying.
>I've tried it at like a 5-6oclcock and it's actually pretty comfortable
That is how I carried for many years, though since I am left handed that was 7-6 o'clock. Then I migrated to 8 o'clock. Finally I went with 9.
>>64895126
Muddy River? The soft-leather IWB. It's the best IWB holster I've ever had. It weighs nothing, has a stout belt clip, and never fucking dies. There is zero break in period, the shit is super flexible.

I find it fun how pistol buttstocks and even pistol caliber carbines are back in vogue.

Arrowhead tactical sweatpants are approved by Colion Noir, so you know they're good! He even wore them to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where he discussed how they good they are for conceal carrying a handgund (such as his Staccato CS). Point being, if they're good enough for a based Black man like him to naturally and organically name drop on the JRE podcast, then they're definitely good enough for a lil yt boi like you.

Did you ever pull the trigger on that aluminium framed M&P 2.0? You should be aware it's the worst of both worlds because it's a striker that doesn't have the reduced mass or recoil dampening of a polymer lower and a metallic frame without a crisp trigger, pronounced safety nor a hammer to thumb during holster manipulation. The only real advantage is that the slide is better sealed in extreme conditions but this is a double edged sword because it will be more difficult to remediate after being compromised

>>64897667
Training with a compensator allows you to get better at shooting in a way that shooting one with out doesn’t allow. It doesn’t eliminate recoil at all but reduces it, and “should” allow you to shoot faster controlled pairs. It’s all about shooting faster and training to predict what your muzzle is doing under recoil.
As a duty or defensive gun, less recoil is less recoil. The ramjet avoids issues with other compensator set ups.
I saw a post in another thread about the lengths people on 4chan go to seem to “not be a try hard” they literally try hard to not seem like someone who’s minimalist. “Look at my stock Glock!!!!! (Proceeds to spam it for months)!” “What’s an out of production super old gun I can buy but some how keep up with modern guns????” “Look at me I carry a 80 year old revolver” they spend more money, more time, to get something worse than a modern equivalent, and also proceed to suck at shooting. But since they aren’t a “tryhard” they think they’re superior and if they had a red dot, a 9mm, or an actually good gun they would be just as good as anyone else and that they’re purposely handicapping themselves which actually make them the better shooter.

Hmm
About shooting with a compensator, it allows isolating different skills. Like training your trigger control at speed. Seeing the red dot faster, shooting a heavier recoiling gun and then a lighter recoiling gun, you see what your input does to the muzzle. Shooting faster will make you better at shooting faster, getting a comp makes you shoot faster. You will be better without the comp when you take it off.

If the compensator makes him go out and shoot more, so be it.
I agree though, it’s a beginner trap but they could always take off the comp and realize they shoot just as fast

Less recoil is less recoil. If there was such a compensator that allowed less recoil but without the history reliability issues with attaching mass to the barrel, then why shouldn’t it be used?

The low profile threadless attachment of the ramjet reduces the amount of mass used on threading, iirc it’s aluminum, so a small aluminum compensator shouldn’t cause any reliability issues. (Should not). I don’t remember anyone having issues with it. People had more trouble with over tightening WMLs than with the ramjet
>>
>>
>>64898083
Screw on WML attachment on Glocks would cause malfunctions if it was too tight
Per Streamlight
Some GLOCK .40 caliber pistols, models 22 and 23, exhibit feeding malfunctions, either nose
down or nose up (stovepipe), when used with tactical lights. The problems tend to occur with
individual guns, with some pistols becoming totally unreliable while other identical, even close
in serial number sequence, guns have no problems. Most models 22 and 23 are reliable.
A sensitive gun may malfunction with any tactical light - the TLRs, the older M models, and
even GLOCK’s own brand. There is evidence that the problem sometimes develops with use and
may progress until the pistol is unreliable, even with no light attached.

Suppose you are limited to 10 round magazines in a carry pistol. Given 2 pistols exactly the same size (both straddling the line between compact and full size) and the capacity constraint, would you rather carry:
>9mm pistol with 10+1 capacity
or
>.45 ACP pistol with 8+1 capacity
>>
>>64898511
I would recommend the 9mm, but personally carry a .45 1911 since I know I’m good with it. I might be even better with a 9mm/.38 super 1911 but those are kind of gay.
Putting rounds on target is more important than effect on target, as long as you’re above a certain ballistic threshold.
My friend who doesn’t shoot, owns one gun too large for carry, is asking me this bullshit. He literally wanted to get a .40 since it’s more powerful within the 10 round limit. A compact .40 will kick his ass and he could barely shoot a 9mm IMO. I want to pistol whip him the next time he says this dumb shit

I don't think anyone has ever quantified the "recoil absorbing" characteristics of polymer, I see this fudd getting thrown around constantly with zero substantiation. It's 9mm it's not going to be that bad.
As for your comments on the reliability wrt the Garand test: the mag got stuck, which they never cleaned or switched out. It's entirely possible the mag got shit inside and it wasn't the gun itself. Not really a double edged sword given it's proven itself to be the most reliable striker fired gun in many tests like this. Consistently beats the 92 because it doesn't have an exposed firing pin to get all fucked up.

Literally me. Just pick whatever makes you confident and that (You)'ll go to the range to train with, that matters a hell of a lot more than caliber. I'm a 45 fudd because of said magazine cap and having confidence in ye olde muh stoppan' powah round, but outside the beloved 1911 world the Germans make cool 10 rounder 45s.
But I also tell my friends that if you have to ask, stick with 9mm. Sufficient for the vast majority of situations and well-developed thanks to a century of military/police/civilian use. There's a reason why everyone who got 10mm and .40 curious for a decade all went back to 9mm, barring a few outliers who genuinely found their niche better served by the other caliber.

Don't get me wrong, there's not much point to aluminum frames other than people not trusting polymer or for a more premium feel. I just have never seen any evidence other than anecdotal that polymer absorbs recoil better. Most people don't shoot enough in one sitting for it to even matter anyways.
For M&P, just get the cheap polymer option or go for the steel.
Fun fact in your pic, the firing pin block is stepped with the stock trigger to help the feel of the wall. If you use an aftermarket trigger it will make it feel like shit which is why most kits have a rounded one. The more you know.

There are very few metal framed subcompacts because subcompacts are designed for deep concealment/light weight. As the other anon mentioned the CSX and CSX-E are options since they have Aluminum frames, and they're the only current ones I'm aware of. I'm inclined to hit you with a why.jpg when it comes to metal framed subcompacts. I kind of get it when people obsess over metal frames in full size pistols, for GTW or competition use because sure, metal frame durable, weight good for recoil, yada yada. But the only purpose of a subcompact is to take up less space and weigh less so I don't even see a metal frame as desirable for my subcompacts. They're going to be unfun to shoot no matter what, so I don't want to spend more and have more weight just so I can say it has a metal frame.
Personally the only metal frame pistols I own are old ones that only see range use.

After asking here a year ago about a random YouTube Short I watched and then couldn't find, and no one had any idea what the fuck I was talking about. I found the product (but not the same video).
This thing (called the Green Light, apparently) is such a cool idea that I wish other manufacturers used backplates for it alone. I hate Glocks. Will never buy one again, but God damn this is smart.
When you draw your gun, the holographic panel appears red until you hold it close enough to be centered with your vision where it'll instantly transition to green. It does this because it's an optical illusion like a trading card or book with pages that has an image which would change depending on the viewing angle. Consequently anything that's a man-sized target within point blank range will be "green lit" the moment that the barrel is center of mass from your perspective without you ever needing to look down the irons and completely removes the need for a red dot (outside of night time situations). The acquisition rate because of how this thing works is quite literally instant and always correct simply because it cannot turn green for you unless it falls under the right viewing angle.
>>
>>
>>64899678
A 2011 or some other FCU gun is where (You) can test polymer versus aluminum. Polymer absorbing recoil is also one of the ideas behind the 2011 design back in 1990s, it’s been a thing for competition shooters with the Pachmeyer grips. A fully Pachmeyer’d gun would have the wrap around grips, rubber mainspring housing, and a rubber grip safety
>>
>>64900403
It's explicitly for Glocks because only Glocks use backplates. For what it is, it's a very clever idea and that's why I wish more companies had them. Throw one do these on the back of a Shield or a Bodyguard and you have effectively the uncontested carry until the end of time. The only weakness would be, admittedly, low light, but the capacity to just draw and mag dump and know you're hitting center mass with almost exact certainty and not need to worry about nerves or anything else? God damn.
>>
>>
>>64900440
It's mostly true, so it's true enough. None of the other major manufacturers use them except... Springfield? S&W, Sig, Colt, CZ, HK, FN, etc. don't have a single pistol with a backplate in the same manner that Glocks do.

>S&W, Sig, Colt, CZ, HK, FN, etc.
Off the top of my head M&P, P365, P10S, VP9, 509. The only manufacturer you named that doesn't currently make a pistol with no back plate is Colt and all they currently make are 1911s and revolvers.

I remember hearing that this thing has a 15 MOA. than I decided not to buy one.
>>
>>
>>64900500
If it’s 15 moa that means the green only shows up within a 15 inch circle at 100 yards, 1.5 inches at 10 yards? You pretty much have to align the irons sights to get the green to show up.
Like use a red dot at that distance
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>64900503
>Did you expect it to work at 50 yards?
It doesn't exactly have the same result as a 15MOA red dot but a 15MOA dot at 50 yards would cover about an 8" circle. That's not that bad. Regardless, 15MOA at typical CCW engagement distances is a sub 2" circle so that's perfectly adequate if it is indeed as fast as or faster than a red dot.
>>64900511
A red dot is more versatile, but if you could put a 15MOA holo plate on the back of, say, a pocket pistol like my CW380, and it works as advertised, it would be vastly superior to a red dot. I don't think a single soul is suggesting that thing is for a pistol that will be used at range, but it does make a lot of sense for CCW *IF* it works as advertised.

Despite all this nobody has actually quantified the effect. Can you deform your grip with a magazine inside it? The magazine acts as structural rigidity depending on how much play there is in the grip. If this were actually a thing why wouldn't they spring load grips too? Add in a gel coating? For every ancient 90s boomer trick there is a counter reason to why it failed: it doesn't do anything.

Yes, Satan. We have established by means of writing thousand page reports, that handgun bullets only make a hole in the target human body, making maximizing internal hemorrhaging essentially the only goal for terminal ballistics.

I’m calling you names because I literally built a 2011 and tried polymer and aluminum grips on it. Many people have said the same thing I do.

You know nothing. You didn't make any of the individual parts of specs. You're merely a tinkerer who googled enough knowledge to cobble together some parts. You're simply delusional, posting fudd that isn't substantiated in any way. Which is my point. You're just saying you think it feels that way. If I closed your eyes and made you shoot an aluminum grip with gloves on and told you it was polymer, then gave you another aluminum grip to shoot, you'd feel the difference that wasn't there too. You seriously can't be so dense you can't understand this concept.
>muh heckin covid
Uh yeah dude, this is totally the same thing. You know when scientists made unsubstantiated claims about a mild cold? You're making unsubstantiated claims about fucking gun grip material lmao. Why don't we have rubber grips on guns? Why can't you simply prove that polymer transfers less force to the hands? I thought engineers make things. Make an apparatus to prove yourself right. You got the vax didn't you?

John Moses Browning didn't have access to CAD or injection molded plastic. He didn't even have access to affordable workable aluminum. Plastic flexes and handles impacts far batter than metals which translates to less felt recoil as the frame itself begins to oscillate and flex and trap more of the force in a neutral direction instead of directing all or nearly all the force in the direction that the slide is going, as metal frames don't have oscillation properties that properly reduce felt recoil on the same level as a far more elastic material like the common injection molded plastics used in the firearms industry. Thank you for watching my Ted Talk.

>>64901519
Rubber vs Polymer. People say rubber absorbs recoil, rubber is used on revolvers instead of plastic to do so. Where are the rubber 2011 grips? Too stupid to understand things and make basic inference. I have to spell everything out to you because you're intentionally not getting it because you're wrong and you know it.
>>

>>64901533
>I'm too retarded for context clues
Yeah, quoting my post and intentionally not understanding what's being said. I'm not talking about revolvers, but by me saying "guns" AHA! You've got me on a technicality. If it helps you, I will correct this for you:
Why don't we have rubber grips on 2011s?
But you're just being pedantic and searching for your gotcha moment, rather than actually proving that polymer absorbs recoil compared to aluminum. You have zero evidence and keep arguing like a fucking moron.
>>
>>64901548
I too wonder why critical dimensions aren’t made with a very elastic material.
>T. Someone who has never seen inside a 2011 grip
You asked why don’t guns have rubber grips, I specifically pointed out that rubber grips are preferred on higher recoiling guns like magnum revolvers.
>>
>>64901560
It could be coated around a metal frame, or at the back of the grip where it will matter. There is plenty of material there that could be rubberized. Go and make it, Mr Engineer. Still haven't proven that polymer absorbs recoil. We've agreed that rubber does.
>>
>>
>>64901583
You do, you're saying science isn't relevant yet you're trying to use scientific properties as proof. You're saying it affects felt recoil. Do you understand that there are different polymer blends with different properties? Make something to prove yourself Mr Engineer, ideally without relying on science, but I will accept that too because I'm not making a stupid fucking claim to troll and avoid admitting I'm wrong and have no evidence and am spewing fudd.
>>
>>64901589
Yes I'm aware that different polymer blends exist my current job uses a few based on their elastic properties and we mold parts in house on German made 25 ton presses. Baby presses but I'm sort of a plastics guy myself. Plastics in general are so far more elastic than Aluminum and Steel alloy frames that there's no need to specify a specific polymer. If you need hard numbers, Aluminum itself has a YM of about 69-70, Nylon Polymer has a YM of about 3
>>
>>64901603
So then why can't you prove a polymer grip on a 2011 reduces felt recoil vs aluminum? It should be as easy as putting a load cell being the grip and pulling the trigger with a string. If you understand all these properties you surely understand that your hypothesis should be provable right?
One other thing worth noting is the impulse and structure of the grip. There are ways to structure polymer or metal to make it more rigid. Different impulses transfer the energy via mediums in different ways. A testing apparatus would prove this. This is my whole point. Nobody has ever bothered to prove that this is a thing, it just sounds like it would make sense since polymer can bend more easily than aluminum, and is more ductile.
>>
>>
>>64901615
It depends on the amount of mass added. The flexibility of some materials can be overridden by sheer mass in the grip that absorbs force as well. If the 2011 metal frames aren't significantly heavier than the plastic one then its possible that people report more overall felt recoil with the metal frames. I know metal frames of insufficient mass can be punishing on the hand as I've shot .38 P+ out of an airweight revolver and the difference between wood and rubberized plastic grips is night and day in terms of felt recoil.
>>
>>
>>64901632
Yeah mass definitely helps, that could just be proven with conservation of momentum equations. The tricky part is that polymer and aluminum are similar enough. I'm curious if polymer really has enough flex to noticeably change the recoil impulse. I think one thing you previously mentioned was using .45, that could also completely change things vs 9mm, .38, 10mm etc. 22lr might not give enough of an impulse for anything to be felt.
The "feel" part is hard to quantify, but if an impulse chart from a load cell changed the peak impulse by more than a few percent that would certainly prove things.
>>64901668
It's a common tactic, I'm honestly surprised it wasn't used until now. Given that this devolved previously (much more constructive now though) I don't really want to risk having some shithead following my posts constantly because I avatarfagged myself out. Not sure why he'd think I'm ESL though.

>I have literally already posted guns.
Doesn't work that way. You're anon, you can't just say "post guns" and not post guns in that post. Otherwise it can be assumed you're lying because most of the time people say "post guns" without posting guns it's because they've been caught in a SNAFU and are trying to attack the other anon instead of refuting his argument.
>>
>>
>>64901701
I think you'll find that the conversation had significant content and valid rhetoric. You haven't been able to counter any of it thus far other than anecdotal evidence. The original conversation was that we ONLY HAVE anecdotal evidence. So I hope you can understand why providing anecdotal evidence completely misses the point and spawned this whole argument.
>>64901708
Pretty sure he's the guy with nighthawks, he mentioned he built a 2011 so that's like one person ITT? I don't doubt his build experience. I doubt that his anecdotal evidence is proof that polymer grips have less felt recoil than aluminum. I own guns I'm just not going to post them in response to a guy who is just trolling. It's weird given how much time he spends on here that he wants to shit it up.

>>64901687
NTA you’re talking to but
> I think one thing you previously mentioned was using .45,
You mean the post where I talked about ME actually shooting the same gun but with a polymer grip frame and an aluminum grip frame and reportedly saying that the aluminum grip frame had more felt recoil. >>64899545
Then was met with some faggot ass reply “stunning research contribution”
Also sticking a gun in a ransom rest with a pressure transducer on the frame will not work, ransom rests do not hold guns like people do. Why go through all that length when you can just shoot the gun and qualitatively compare instead of coming up with some bullshit contraption to attempt to collect quantitative data when qualitative data will work
>>
>>64901715
Depends on the bike (ie seating position) and the carry position. AWB would likely suck on a sport bike. I never carried while riding FWIW though. You could probably mimic your seating position with a chair while carrying to get a good idea. Keep in mind bumps in the road would drive the gun into your body more.
>>64901717
Wake up Mr Gummer, wake up and smell the ashes (of your receipt)
>>
>>64901723
Yes it was met with that comment because it completely missed the point. If you meant that anecdotal evidence suffices in this case and you are the authoritative figure here, then just say so. I completely disagree with you.
There wasn't really much point in having a conversation about that post until I provided the context that there is perhaps a different between calibers. Which you also could have provided but failed to. If you want to have a good conversation about this, we can. You took it a completely different way.
>Also sticking a gun in a ransom rest with a pressure transducer on the frame will not work, ransom rests do not hold guns like people do
That's fair, but surely we could produce some sort of contraption that could approximate it. I would also expect even the ransom rest to give us some useful data like a pressure curve.
>Why go through all that length when you can just shoot the gun and qualitatively compare
Humans have been given placebo pills that are supposed to make you stronger or feel better and people have consistently felt the placebo doing the thing they were told it does. If you're that guy quoting different material types, then you've probably taken a science class and understand this already. You can even make people remember things differently depending on how you ask them. It's one of the ways the media manipulate people without most even noticing.

I don't carry on body when riding. Firstly, because if something happens I don't want to land on it. Second, it's not accessible with motorcycle gear on unless you're open carrying or carrying in a body bag/fanny pack and zippers are a bitch with good gloves. I carry in a holster in my tank bag. I leave it unzipped enough that I can reach in and grab the gun without messing with zippers. Also, trigger guards are an issue if you're wearing good gloves. I had a suitably autistic solution for that.
>>
>>64901759
I didn't want to say this but I agree that on body never seemed like a good idea to me. Tank bag is a great solution because it's still concealed, I'd have stuck it in my windshield but then you risk someone freaking out over seeing it.
>>
>>64901747
I believe in my 3rd or 4th post I talk about different calibers. The majority of .40 2011s I’ve seen have had polymer grips. With 9mm aluminum is popular, since they can have much more aggressive texture and as another person already said have a more premium feel. From competition shooter forums people report that steel > polymer > aluminum for felt recoil but you called us retarded for repeating that. I still think this is all a waste of time since felt recoil is the target and you cannot test for it without defining it. Define how you would quantify a felt recoil measurement, pressure in the backstrap? You’d have to use “qualitative measurement” (actually shooting the gun) to see if the quantitive measurement actually tracks with what people feel
I’m at work and killing time if I am an asshole btw
>>
>>64901786
Also felt recoil reduction is not needed for 9mm, muzzle flip is needed which is what people go for. Felt recoil reduction is needed for things like .40, .45, or as I said the magnums.
Reminds me that the 4006, 4506, 1006 and other S&W 3rd gen’s have rear wraparound grips. They shipped with polymer but I think most people used rubber hogues.
>>
>>64901786
I get that people are saying it but I'd love to try and quantify it if possible and to what degree if at all possible. I agree there is difficulty actually defining felt recoil, but at least seeing the differences in recoil impulse would be a start. To define felt recoil you would probably need to approximate what the difference in recoil humans could feel by having a servo deliver an impulse into people's palms and seeing at what difference in pressure they can feel.
I apologize for calling names, I was probably equally as frustrated as you and we were talking past each other. I'm also trying to make it through a work day. The good news is an old manager inadvertently gave me validation indirectly today and another coworker witnessed this.
>>64901800
I'd agree reducing felt recoil on 9mm isn't a crazy productive endeavor. Still it would be cool to see and compare to other calibers. I would guess that there is some calibers that are low enough recoil that they don't generate enough PSI to meaningfully deflect the polymer, and thus I would expect no difference in felt recoil. Rubber would deflect at a lower PSI which would lend to reducing felt recoil better than polymer. Think of it almost like an airbag.
Then there are the low bore axis pistols which people claim hurt their palms more. That would be a good control for whatever felt recoil measuring device, to see if the device aligns with what people claim they feel or not.
>>
>>64901818
Thinking about it further
My entire hands hurt after my “burn downs” with .45 and 10mm where I shoot 300+ rounds in one sitting. I don’t think just the backstrap would quantify it since all my fingers and joints would ache (early arthritis induced by 10mm)?
You can start narrowing down what doesn’t quantify felt recoil. Like shoot two guns in a pendulum or on a sled track and see how much it moves, quantify which gun recoils more by person and see if the measurement tracks what people think.
Bore axis seems to be more related with muzzle flip which is different than recoil but often correlated. The laugo alien also gets super hot so that’s what people complain about, like too hot to hold.
My boss is disconnected from what I do, she barely sees a difference if I work hard or work hardly at all since she’s basically in a different department. She thinks I don’t work hard despite the times I do so I’ve been getting 2% raises. I can’t be fired due to how the entire company is a skeleton crew so I’m chilling. I feel bad though and wish I was doing something else but I get to design things sometimes which is more fun than battling two inventory/part management systems that don’t work
