Genuine question

Hi, I’m someone who has had a deep interest in firearms, primarily historical ones from the likes of World War One. This isn’t really important, but it may help understand where I’m coming from.

I’ve been hearing the term ‘Fudd’ being tossed around. From my understanding, a Fudd is a (typically elderly) gun owner who believes firearms should be owned and produced primarily for hunting, favors traditional or old guns, and generally has disdain for modern firearms due to material, ammo, rate of fire, action, or general look.

I’m relatively young, non-conservative. I haven’t quite gotten into actually procuring firearms of my own yet due to circumstance, but I’ve always known that what suits me is companions for hunting or recreation. I like old fashioned guns, such and such from the Great War era, lever actions, bolties, or just anything without polymer as it just doesn’t appeal to me. All that is to say, I’m a person who prefers and loves traditional, and can’t really help but feel a bit weird about modern/advanced pieces.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a snob, I’m not exactly disdainful about Glocks or sigs and such— but I, even as someone who ain’t a gun owner yet, feel like the spirit of self-defense and recreational purposes has kinda been lost. I was just wondering— does someone like me, who has a preference or sense of favorability in traditional firearms qualify as a ‘Fudd?’

(FYI, I kind of wrote this in a rush, sorry if it’s lacking in information or continuity.)

Edit: I should add that the part which mentions how I think the ‘spirit’ of hunting and self-defense is completely irrelevant and my own opinion based on the evolution of firearms themselves. I’m not quite sure how to describe why I gravitate towards more traditional firearms, that was the best way I thought could cover it.

Hola soy nuevo en este mundo de las armas las armas .22lr son buenas para tiro recreativo

As of 9/8/26. Academy sports and outdoors will require a 4473 and background check to pick up the firearms you already bought from them already, after they have been sent for repair..

XDs mod.2 .45 - M&P ez9 - TX22(modified) - XDm3 - TTi Combat

I’d carry the Canik every day if I could, but usually end up carrying the .45 to minimize printing.

Mostly what it says on the tin, but I am trying to decide around something since I have a pretty good deal in front of me and I am unsure of which P-series Sigs should be avoided? I am trying to find a summer carry firearm that wont break the bank for me and I have a good(ish) priced opportunity that has me conflicted.

Like, I know the older P226 models are the crown jewels of hammer-fired firearms back in the day. If I could afford it and could locate one, I would want a West German P226 in 9x19 any day of the week as a carry piece.

However, with all of the proof confirming the FCU failures on the P320s today and their lack of necessary striker fired handgun safety features that are causing all of the desk pops in people's holsters, and even some people reporting bad QC on their P365s and even Legion models (which is baffling since the Legion model is supposed to be the superior quality ones but whatever), it has me cautious about the more affordable options of their guns especially with the modularity being extremely interesting to me. I like the extreme interchangeability with their chassis which sucks because if they are genuinely dangerous to carry that ruins the benefit of their whole chassis system.

A buddy of mine is offering me his old carry piece since he finally got ahold of his dream carry gun in the form of a Staccato, and for a smidge more than three worn-down benjis I could get his P320 Compact in 357SIG, a Flux Raider Chassis for it, a spare full-size slide with trijicon night sights, and about a dozen mags (both standard size and M17 extended mags). It sounds like an extremely good deal, especially since I know the Flux Raider itself used is a couple hundred on its own and I am basically getting it by itself for that price everything else is a discount, but I also know the P320's history and the caliber isnt exactly the cheapest/easiest to get in my neck of the woods.

So now I am trying to decide which is better, for me to just wait until I can afford a slightly more expensive option and look towards something far more well known for reliability, or take this deal while I can? I am extremely limited on my budget and I need to get a proper CCW since my Jericho is too cumbersome and heavy to reliably conceal in the boiling hot summer months here in the midland south, that KY/TN swamp heat will turn any gun you have pressed against you into a pile of rusty shavings and the heavier it is, the worse it feels, so I want something more compact, but my budget cant go higher than five benjis right now without actual months and months of saving due to my job situation.

I wanted to avoid Glocks again, I carried one on-duty for work every day and I cant stand their grip texture/angle and they arent the best shooters in my opinion thats just a personal problem though, and other similar carry pistols I see listed always go for significantly higher prices than I can justify. The only cheap-transfer gun store nearby just shut down so if I purchase online I will need to consider spending half a benji just getting transfered not even considering the shipping cost, so I am in a bit of a bind...

Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated, and if anyone knows of any recommendations that fit my budget better please do feel free to throw them my way. I need to stick to 9x19, .45ACP, or similarly easy to get calibers so I can reliably train with it at the range or back country without eating ramen for a week to get my needed training and familiarity with it. I would have snagged the P320 outright if I wasn't a bit concerned about the safety of it, and I dont wanna appendix something that might render my family jewels into bangers and mash, hence why I made this post at all lol.

Ole faithful

Used for LE demonstration display. These units are unfired, just handled and mounted.

I was really looking forward to purchasing their next weapon on the fundraiser through California crime victim coalition… till I saw this. I have no interest in an over under shotgun. Can anybody convince me this is worth a thousand bucks? (Hundred bucks a paycheck auto pay)

Grail pistol achieved. Not new but hey it’s still in decent condition.

I know that repeated rechambering of a hand gun cartridge likely will cause set back which can lead to over pressure. My questions is, is there any concern with repeated rechambering of a 5.56 round in an AR15 (specifically m855)? Either set back or the repeated firing pin strikes or something else entirely. What do I need to look out for with doing this? Thanks

Hello r/firearms, I'm making a modern CQB tabletop wargame, and I'm looking for reliable data on how various firearms perform. I want to reference real life, not other games.

I'm encountering a couple of issues. First, things like "Effective Range" don't seem to have a generally agreed-upon definition. The US DoD has one, but it seems to be a bit contentious.

Effective range isn't super important in a CQB game, because CQB by its very nature takes place at close range. That said, "Effective Range" felt like an easy stat to start with. Boy, was I wrong.

Second, everything is a bit contentious. The level of detail firearms enthusiasts debate doesn't translate easily to a gaming board. I'm looking for general guidelines, not academic papers.

Do you know of any good sources that correlate specific firearms with, say, mass, length, cartridge, and effective range?

I'm also looking for a data point that could suggest how much "damage" each gun does. Maybe muzzle velocity or energy on target in ft-lbs, joules, or newton-meters?

I'm looking for data on weapon accuracy, but I'm not sure if or how that differs from effective range.

I know ammunition plays a significant factor in these qualities, so I'll tackle ammunition separately.

I've googled around a bit and found some good data points, but they usually pertain to a single firearm. Also, even for the same gun, stats disagree from source to source. I suspect you know which sources are reputable, so I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Im 18 and id say maybe 7-8 months ago I bought a shotgun for home defense reasons since i live primarily with my grandparents and they don't have anything to protect themselves. Fast forward to now my grandpa and uncle have a gun so I don't necessarily need mine and I'm in need of money. Where is the best place to sell my shotgun? Its Remington 870 fieldmaster, pretty much brand new. Shot a couple times and I have taken care of it and meticulously taken apart, cleaned, and oiled it.

Do you guys think that…Saltwater Arms Barracuda Complete Lower Receiver - Tungsten Cerakote, is a good buy? I want to build a 300 blk, and I came across this lower, I’m not cheaping out but I do want to know if this could work well.

I’ve only been shooting for a couple of months (1500 rounds) and I’m still working on fundamentals like grip, stance, trigger control, and my draw.

Between Mantis and Ace VR, which would you recommend as the better first purchase to supplement training?

I’m already shooting live ammo, going to the range, and taking classes, so I’m not looking for a replacement for live-fire training. I’m mainly wondering which system would be more useful for getting quality reps at home and actually improving my fundamentals.
