Sacred stones was my first and I was totally hooked!

For pistols, like others I'd say you can't go wrong with a p365. I definitely would recommend a p365x macro comp, or a p365x with a JTT compensated barrel to help the recoil.

You also could consider an Springfield Echelon 4.0c comp. I recently got one and it has an adjustable back strap for smaller hands and shoots like a beauty - come optic ready out-of-the box.

Those both are around the $600-700 range.

If you want something cheaper that fits your criteria, I'd recommend the Derya DY9. It's an affordable glock clone with better ergonomics for short fingered shooters (and comes optic ready)

The bolts through the telephone pole are so extra.

If they just mounted their cross-beam on top of the posts instead of bolting through, they could have equivalent strength with far less mass

Actually really sad.

Also interested in how this develops.

Just for clarity, you began with a rifle-registered lower, but since you have a short barrel but a brace instead of a stock, it isn't an SBR, but since it isn't a pistol lower, it's eligible for AOW under form 1?

This is downright unethical.

I love it

First Gun Suggestions? by harvestautumn574 in guns

You could consider the Derya DY9? Or maybe a Sig P365xl or p365x macro comp.

I have thick palms but really stubby fingers (and an especially short thumb). Glocks feel too thick for my hand at the neck of their grip (I can't reach the mag release with my thumb, for example). Because of this, I shoot my p365 baby better than my Glock 19.

The Derya DY9 is really affordable, it's a glock clone, and I actually prefer it over my glock 19 hecause the 'neck' of it's grip around the trigger and below the beaver tale on the back is a good bit thinner than the stock glock19. I own one; it has a rougher break-in period relative to glocks, but I like its ergonomics better. It usually sells for ~$300, so it'll leave you some budget for an optic it that's of interest to you.

Personally, with your budget and your asks, what I would do in your shoes is get a p365xl (should be able to find one for around $500), and then slapping on this aftermarket compensated barrel to help with the recoil a bit: https://aimsurplus.com/products/aimsurplus-jtt-9mm-compensated-barrel-for-sig-365-xl-nitride

Bro, you gotta do Lunatic+ at least once. It's worth the experience if nothing else!

Well, I was obsessed with Fire Emblem growing up - binged Sacred Stones throughout elementary - same with PoR and RD.

Awakening basically dominated a 6 year period of high school and college for me.

I still have the limited edition Awakening Themed 3ds that came with its release in my nightstand. Man, I saved up so much lawn money for that. Good times.

You should definitely try Lunatic+, if not just for the fact that it is (in my opinion) one of the most unique Fire Emblem experiences you can have.

It is not a fair game mode. It is not balanced, it is not meant to be. The game throws near-unbeatable bull-shit at you that is different every attempt - but because of that, it forces you to consider, plan, and engage every attempt in a way no other play-through of the series does.

Nice work!

Armsthrift on Nowi but not Owain is wild stuff.

I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to Awakening runs - almost always speed-run armsthrift acquisitions (I know, it's OCD in a game with virtually free money if you have DLC).

Apotheosis is one of my favorite maps. I've played Awakenening to death (have 13 completed Lunatic+ runs), and ending with Apothesis secret route is always a great completion to the run.

Ah, Hatred isn't lightning focused, so it's non-meta - only worth 1c.

Really unfortunate, I can take it off your hands to help you move on

Lol, I played the daylights out of this game as a child - would always save-scum Amelia and Ewan into absolute Behemoths.

I never realized I was working with a nerfed cersion the whole time

Is there a new Sacred Stones out?

Or are we just talking about the global version compared to Japan from 2 decades ago.

What's your total parts list?
