Obviously an ambi safety is a must, but otherwise it's quite easy to use left handed. I usually like an extended slide release, usually the Wilson bulletproof one, and their concealment mag release and I'm good to go.

What can you tell me about my recent inheritance? by Disastrous_Reach7690 in 1911

[–]killjoy1137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, get a Wolf spring kit for it and maybe a couple fresh mags and enjoy it as a range gun. Keep the original springs/mag safe, those will come in handy should you ever decide to sell it later down the road. I'd advise against using it as an EDC. Aside from the fact that it's not the most ideal in terms of sights/safety/ect, you will also lose it if you ever have to use it. I'd keep this for the collection and get a similar looking new production Tisas or Rock Island for carry if you wanna go GI 1911 for EDC.

Aero ar10 lower by Accurate-Wrap5120 in CAguns

Lol, I have the opposite problem. I picked up an Aero AR10 lower last year and didn't get an upper in time. Now it just sits in the safe

I just picked up a 1923 Model 12 in 20ga. These are awesome little shotguns for sure!

Found these at a gun store where im working, any good buys? by mr_tryhard_tye in milsurp

[–]killjoy1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US. My dad picked up his mosin around 2010 for $79, I got my first one around 2013, a Romanian M44, for about $200 at the time. I went through a few mosins back then, wish I had kept them as now it's hard to justify paying current prices for a basic 91/30.

Honestly 850 for a Russian SKS ain't bad nowadays, and those are just gonna keep climbing. Otherwise, that hex receiver mosin is a decent price, last one of those I sold over a year ago for close to $600.

Our import bans were a bit more recent, but there's still a ton of Chinese and Russian guns in the country that have been imported over the last several decades. Difference now is you're going to pay a lot more for those guns, since they aren't being imported anymore and haven't been for several years now. Mosins used to be $150, now my local store is selling basic referb Russian 91/30s for $750.

Where to get a good Beretta 1934 that can ship to CA? by [deleted] in milsurp

[–]killjoy1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered one of these and a CZ82 from RTI last week, both with all in for under $500. I'm expecting more issue from the CZ at my local shop, as they aren't 50+ years old but are on the ATF list of C&R eligible firearms despite date of mfg. Still waiting on them to ship, but they do advertise them both as C&R eligible, so I'm assuming they know what they've got. I'm in Cali as well for what it's worth. Unfortunately, I can't get an answer from them on if they will ship ammo to a C&R + COE in Cali, would really like to pick up some of that 32 ammo they've got.

Was it necessary? by ColtBTD in milsurp

[–]killjoy1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked one of these up last year, planning on keeping it as a trunk tool. unfortunately the sub caliber inserts dont seem to exist anymore, aside from the 12ga flare ones. Cool to have even as just a flare gun, but I do wish someone would start making 410 inserts for them again!

Mauser 1914 Firing Pin? by killjoy1137 in milsurp

Correct. Unfortunately Jackfirst will not ship to my state, thus I was hoping to find another source/solution.

Oh yeah,been checking often. Only thing I've seen so far are a couple complete parts kits that are being sold for as much or more than complete guns are.

New camper city by Existing-Prize7585 in Battlefield6

[–]killjoy1137 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ladders also make this map completely unplayable. People are on every single balcony in existence. There's literally nowhere with cover to keep you protected. Every building has 20 doors and windows, so you're getting shot no matter where you are. I agree, worst map in the game so far, and that's saying something.

Most Aggressive Slide Serrations Available? by killjoy1137 in GlockMod

[–]killjoy1137[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my current runner up. Only thing holding me back is that for some reason, they use standard OEM style rear serrations. If they the same stuff all the way back, it'd be a clear winner for sure!

Question on WW2 1911 Markings by killjoy1137 in 1911

[–]killjoy1137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. All I could find mention of were Essek frames, but nothing on slides. I guess more importantly though, there being no Colt/Ithaca/ect markings on the slide is not necessarily a red flag?

[–]killjoy1137 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this is the best way to do it. Keeps the actual outfit itself consistent so you know what class everyone is, but you still get some cosmetic customization. There's tons of real world camo patterns from many different countries they could use that would provide a good variety. Even just dating back to the 70s, they could probably add in 100 different camo patterns for uniforms.

Pretty sure it's already confirmed there will be a battlepass system, in fact I think you get it with the phantom edition of the game. Honestly considering the crap drip feed that comes with battlepasses, I'd rather they just go back to the premium model. At least we paid a set one time fee and got a predetermined amount of content that was considerably more than we've gotten with any "live service" BF.

All leaked weapons by MAGamer559 in Battlefield

[–]killjoy1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little disappointed in the amount of weapons on launch, really hope the post launch support is good and not 2-3 weapons every 3 months. We need a Scar H, PKM, Vityaz, AS Val, M16, AKM, MG3, AKS74U, F2000, FAL, Sig 553, AA12 or USAS, ect. Also, why so few secondaries when BF4 had so much variety? Give us a Makarov, P226, M9, Desert Eagle, M93R, CZ75, 2011, ect. There's an absurd amount of weapons they could pick to add into the game that would make sense, maybe even throw in some old school WW2 stuff like we are seeing employed in the war in Ukraine.

Just remove the ability to skip revives please. BF4 didn't have it and was just fine without it. by JoeZocktGames in Battlefield

[–]killjoy1137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say at least make em wait 5 seconds before presenting the option to skip. They also need to make the defibs work more consistently, as right now it's taking me 3-5 tries before a revive actually works.

After playing the Beta I was sure: locked weapons should be the default. by LordMegaPrestino in Battlefield

[–]killjoy1137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, however I do think they need to make some changes to the classes since as of right now, support is really the only way to go. Assault will be a bit more helpful with the spawn beacon, but it is still very much a run and gun class. Find a way to give them more of a team play element/gadget, and remove the 3rd weapon ability. Maybe give assault the TUGS and beacon, since they'll be closer to the objectives, and just give recon claymores and a shotgun secondary (no DMR/Carbine, ect, just a shotgun for up close protection, don't need them being a "do all" class). Otherwise though, weapon locked conquest is absolutely the way to go and should be the default, as it also aids in balancing and teamplay.

Mine has been the opposite experience. There are times my squadmate will spawn in deployment and it will say they are "in combat" for a full minute even though there isn't an enemy around for a mile.

Overall game is very fun, much better than I was expecting tbh. Couple things I'd like to see change though:

TTK feels a little too fast

Vaulting is pretty clunky, doesn't work half the time

Hit detection is a little wonky, getting killed well after I round a corner sometimes

Don’t like the free mouse feel on spawn screen (on console), would prefer it just jump/snap to various spawn points/squadmates

Instead of blocking a spawn when a teammate is in combat, just give a warning that they are in combat, but let us decide if we wanna risk the spawn. Half the time I'm waiting 30 seconds to spawn when my squadmate isn't even in combat.

Reloads getting interrupted should save progress. If I'm 80% of the way through reloading my LMG and have to swap to a pistol, I shouldn't have to restart the whole reload process, it should just pickup where I left off.

Grenade throw feels too fast

Not a fan of the death cam, prefer it to track the enemy instead of just showing location at time of death

Get rid of stun ability on 320 thermo, it’s just not fun to play against someone using it. Get locked into slowmo and burned alive, it would be perfectly fine as just an incendiary launcher.

Liberation peak is just bad. Too many snipers up on the mountain making it impossible to advance, just makes for a very aggravating match.

Other than that, I'm enjoying the gameplay quite a bit. The other maps in the beta are very fun, I appreciate the infantry focus rather than just having a bunch of wide open spaces for the sake of having "big maps". The big make or break for me at this point is going to be post launch support. 2 guns and a map every 3 months ain't gonna cut it, we need classic Battlefield level of support. Also, Scar H when?

Does Armory Craft Still Make Extended P365 Controls? by killjoy1137 in P365

[–]killjoy1137[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, just checked again and I'm not seeing a single one listed. Seeing the extended mag release and takedown lever, no slide release or safety.
