Hitting the gym to become a swoletariat, looking to arm myself as well.

I’ve gone shooting before, and my Dad just bought a couple guns himself because of all the pogroms he’s been seeing against Muslims in ingerland.

I’m based in the United States of Amerikkka, mods please let me know if this isn’t allowed!

    Easier to diagnose and fix once you learn everything, but also a lot more that can go wrong/break/jam. I’m just saying that I’d trust a revolver left loaded in a toolbox for 15 years way more than a 10 year old Glock I might see next to it if I needed to grab one and fire.

      That’s the beauty of the Glock, there’s so few parts that there’s not much of anything to learn. Revolvers are like lever actions, in that it seems like they’d be simpler and more robust firearms than newer things, but it’s really the opposite of the truth and neither are user-serviceable. Getting either to run right may very well require the gunsmith to not just replace parts but custom fit them to make the timing work right.
