Gun Talk Tuesday - 01SEP2026

17 Upvotes

Well it's 10:30 Eastern and I don't see a Gun Talk Tuesday post yet so I guess I'll take a shot at it and see what new and interesting bot posts we get.

What is the coolest gun you've ever had the opportunity to shoot? Whether it's a transferable machine gun, someone's 5 figure sporting shotgun, or just something you thought was fun to get a chance to shoot, tell us about it.

I think for me it's getting to shoot a few rounds out of an M107 that a fellow shooter had at the long range several years ago. Trigger was terrible, recoil impulse was unexpected (due to the weight of the barrel and recoil operation it feels kind of like an Auto 5 with that long push. Yes I know the M107 is short recoil, not long recoil like the Auto 5, but that's the closest thing I can think of), and the effect on target at 700+ yards was utterly hilarious compared to my 6.5 Creedmoor. Wouldn't ever buy one for myself I don't think, but getting to shoot one was a lot of fun.

Just picked up this minty Hungarian Hi Power clone, the FEG PJK-9HP. I love it.

Post image
127 Upvotes

Got this FEG over the weekend and I love it. It’s a Hi Power clone, made around 1990, though if the internet stories and forum posts are true these FEG’s are less of a clone and more of an actual Hi Power with a weird licensing history from FN.

The story is that FEG got permission from FN to make these pistols, and even bought a bunch of FN machines to manufacture them, during the 80’s and 90’s. They called them the FP9. But long story short, due to some various Cold War and Soviet Era politics and shady business deals, a lot of that info has been hard to come by. Which even includes a stint of supplying these to Saddam’s troops under the actual FN name (straight up illegal copies lol).

Some American importers imported a bunch during that time period, and this particular importer named his the PJK-9HP. PJK was apparently his wife’s initials lol.

All that history aside, the gun does seem like a straight up 1 for 1 Hi-Power copy to me and the bluing is beautiful! There are some machining marks so the finishing wasn’t perfect but I love the bluing and the grips.

My only question now is do I clean up or replace the trigger and hammer and update the sights? Or leave as is? If you run across one at a good price, pick it up. This one was cheap enough I couldn’t pass it up.

Attacked by 3 pit bulls

232 Upvotes

About a month ago, I was making a delivery and had to drop a package on someones front porch. The yard was fenced in but company policy states that if the property looks safe to walk into a gate and leave a package, you should do so.

So I dropped off this package and as soon as I set the box down, I was greeted by a pitbull that exited a doggy door. He seemed pretty at ease with me. I let him sniff my habd and then he let me pet his head. We were friends at that point. Well, as soon as I made friends with him, 2 other fully grown pitt bulls came out of that door and started barking and jumping at me. The 3rd one (my new friend) joined them. Essentially turning against me and going into full defense mode.

Long story short, i got knocked down briefly by these animals and one of them bit my face. I got up fairly quickly and made my way to the gate and gotnout of that yard and called 911 and let them know I had been attacked by 3 pitbulls.

Animal control, paramedics, and police showed up. By this time my shirt was covered in blood from the large gash in my face. The police officer asked me for my ID. I have a concealed carry license underneath that ID and the officer said he noticed it and asked if I had any guns on me. My comment was, "No, but i should probably have had one today". And he flat out said, "Yes, you probably should have had one with you today". Meaning, the police officer said it would have been my right to defend myself even if I am on someone elses property not causing any harm to go ahead and defend myself.

Which brings me to my main subject. I do have a few pistold of various sizes. The one that would be easier to conceal carry would be my snub nosed .38. My understanding is that would be plenty to stop a dog from attacking me and put him down if I got off a head shot. What's the honest truth though. If I pulled out that .38 snubby and aimed it at the head of a large dog and pulled the trigger, would that put him down?

Storage Advice

4 Upvotes

I just bought a semi automatic rifle and now I need to store it. However, I don't have the money, nor the trunk space, nor the room in my house to fit a gun safe. I don't want to use my dad's safe because it's downstairs in the basement in a small corner buried in other crap he just has lying around, and makes it inaccessible for any defense situation, since our rooms are all on the second floor. What should I do? How else can I safely store my rifle without letting someone like visiting family or my sister's friends from accessing my rifle, while still giving me quick access? I live in Wisconsin, so gun storage laws are a little less strict. I also want to keep it in my room, since I have a large dresser and a small closet that I could use.

I was shooting with a friend today, he was shooting a Glock 19.3 unmodified. Upon firing a shot midway through his mag the gun jammed and would not cycle. We were able to get the gun apart and discovered the 9mm case had blown out just above the extractor groove. Is this an ammo issue?

standard white dot sights on smith and wesson shield x

2 Upvotes

just bought a shield x. rented it twice and knew after the second time that it was for me. my only slight issue with it is the Ameriglo-style front sight with a tritium insert and a large U-notch rear. theres something i just dont like about the u shape and circular shaped front sight. i prefer the standard white dot up front with the two white in the back. im not finding any options to potentially replace it. has anyone ever done this or should i just learn to deal with the factory sights?
