First gun help

SilentJohn said:
thanks cereal. I'm writing all this down so when I have more funds I will get this done. glad to know that a spring works without the o-ring but I will probably use it anyway since its included

When upgrading to an aftermarket spring like the BCM or a springco the o-ring pretty much just serves to keep debris out, only with a worn out factory spring does the o-ring add any extra pressure. I guess what I'm getting at is, with an aftermarket spring the choice to include or exclude the o-ring is purely personal preference. It dosnt add anything but doesn't take away anything either.
 
brad just became a official PA resident today actually. then I immediately when to a amazing gun shop that's right down the road from my new house
 
if you get a chance to shoot a multigun (3 gun) match... you will quickly sort out your equipment...it only took me about 5 years....

Got anything whatsoever to back that statement up or is it merely your subjective opinion?

Actually I do
Limited capacity, heavy DA trigger, typically rudimentary sights, malfunctions are catastrophic, slow to reload, awkawrd to reload, unable to mount a weapon light.
REVOLVERS SUCK AS HD WEAPONS
Suppressed, SBR'd AR15 is the weapon of choice. > shotgun >semi auto pistol > revolver > harsh words

Limited capacity - all firearms, even belt-fed are of limited capacity. Make the limited ammo count.
heavy DA trigger - no heavier than semi-auto w/ double-action capability. Also works in single-action mode - nice, crisp trigger.
typically rudimentary sights - depends on the revolver but rudimentary sights with which one has practiced are adequate.
malfunctions are catastrophic - and rare. Semi-auto malfunctions can also be catastrophic.
slow to reload - speed loaders and practice.
awkawrd to reload - speed loaders and practice.
unable to mount a weapon light - on most revolvers, true. Luckily I have two hands, one of which can hold a flashlight or operate a light switch.

REVOLVERS SUCK AS HD WEAPONS - personal opinion with which many experienced shooters disagree strongly.

Suppressed, SBR'd AR15 is the weapon of choice. > shotgun >semi auto pistol > revolver > harsh words - personal opinion. For home defense, I'd rearrange that list to
1) shotgun
2) handgun - either semi-auto or revolver - whichever the shooter is better with
3) tricked out AR or other carbine of choice (AK, Win94, M1 Carbine, etc.)
4) actual rifle of some sort
5) melee weapon - bat, stick, knife, grumpy pet, etc.
6) harsh (but colorful) language.

That's my opinion anyway.

You're being dense - 30rnds from an AR15 is superior capacity vs 17 from a glock 17 vs 8 from a 870 police vs 5, 6, or 7 from a revolver. That's not arguable.
Making hits count is key but I will not handicap myself. YMMV
Look me in my internet eyeballs and tell me a DA Smith trigger is the same as a CZ75, Glock 19, M&P9, FNX, XDm, P226, HK P30, etc
Three dot night sights are a great advantage on a handgun - not typically found on a K frame. If your argument pertains to a snubbie, then a g19 wins out on sight radius and actual sights.
Even if you're Miculek, a speed loader will never be as fast as shoving a mag back in the magwell. Period.
A speed loader will never have the capacity of a g18 mag
In your scenario: k frame the right hand, surefire E2 in the left, open the bedroom door with your dick and grab your kids out of their beds with your teeth like a lioness. Hey, you're way more talented than me.

Do what works for you but advocating a newb to use a 6 shooter for home defense is negligent. There are much better options available. Those options may cost $3,000 and be financially impossible, but that doesn't make them the inferior tool.

anyway here is a really good video of the gun

Seems a revolver as a home defense weapon has a distinct advantage over a semi in one crucial distinction: If a revolver has a dud, just resqueeze...no need to recycle the action.
Plus jams are a non problem.
Discounting their efficacy as a step above harsh words?

When it absolutely must be utterly reliable, ensure your handgun is a revolver.

Until you start shooting through multiple walls. Quit diggin'. Your just getting deeper in it.

You're being dense - when were 30 rnds required for home defense?
Click to expand...

Do you even ballistics, bro?
When did I say 30rnds is a requirement?
A 62g TSX will penetrate less drywall than a 124g Gold dot or Federal 00 buck.
The box o truth is your friend.

Rifles are fight stoppers, plain and simple.

I'll choose my tool based on facts, ballistics, my HD scenario, and my budget and you feel free to base your decision on your tool having a dud and using a 3lb revolver as a club.
YMMV, I've made my choice; I'm sure you've made yours.
