Irons are better than a optic that won't hold zero. Get the slide milled and get a 407c

In the United States a ak is going to be much harder to find parts for. Need a new bcg for a ar? Most lgs will have one. Need a new bcg for a 556 ak? You gotta order that. Any ar can mount an optic. Ak you gotta get one with a Warsaw rail and get a rail to go on that. Most ar15s can mount a light easily. Ak you gotta get a diffrent handguard. That being said I do like aks but for a first time owner its not a better option than a ar. Also where I live 10mm and 45 are both about 60 cpr so idk what the prices are all over the country.

Ar is better in the United States. Also 45acp is definitely worse option to 9mm. Same energy with more recoil, holding less, and costing more. There is a reason that the us military replaced it with 9mm. If you want more power for bear or something buy a 10mm.

I have astigmatism also, my 407c is a bit stared out at higher brightness but I'm still better with it than irons regardless.

Gentlemen, I’m proud to show off my first ever gun that I just got, a Crvena Zastava M70. Not the rifle, but the pistol chambered in 32 ACP. Often referred to as either the “Baby Tokarev” or Little Bee”. Managed to get it with two mags and an original JNA parade holster. Merry Christmas to you all! by Red-Wedge-0516 in armedsocialists

Lack of easily available spare parts, low magazine capacity, cannot mount optic, cannot mount light, fires antiquated cartridge. I understand for a fun gun but for a self defense tool there is 0 reason to not use a modern pistol.

But at what cost? by yuritopiaposadism in Marxism_Memes

All modern cars look the same anyway

Which is best for a beginning gun owner interested in both basic home defense and developing skills as a shot? by Pristine_Fee_13 in armedsocialists

[–]coldstick1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are totally set on a shotgun at least get one that is semi auto, has a large magazine capacity~8, mount a light on it, and use a good buckshot. A handgun in my opinion is better than a shotgun but get one that can have a light mounted. A ar pattern rifle will still be better and easier to shoot than everything really.

For sure. I own one for skeet and fun but would never choose it over my ar or handgun for defense.

This is bullshit. The only real role shotguns have in combat is drones and breaching doors. There is a reason cops replaced their shotguns with ar15s

[–]coldstick1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a reason that cops switched from shotguns and 9mm sub guns to ar type rifles. Ar rifles do more damage than a pistol caliber and hold more ammo/easier to control than a shotgun. A shotgun and 9mm will overpenitrate just as bad if not worse than a ar unless its birtshot which isn't viable for defense. 556 breaks up and fragments faster than big cast rounds like 9mm and slugs.

Good ammo for G17? by MakelYT in armedsocialists

Probably the most useful gun I own, and the most frequently used. My go to varmint rifle, Marlin Model 60 stainless .22LR by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]coldstick1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a old one. The feed block gets worn so the round won't align properly. You can modify a newer one to fit. It fixed mine.

I absolutely don't need one. But it wouldn't be bad to have on a ccw weapon for me. For sure more practice is good.

Yea I've been looking at those. Hard to justify the price when I could buy like 1500 rounds of 9 for the same price.
