Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

I picked one up on sale for $199. Out of the box it performed flawlessly. No jams, stovepipes, or failure to feed issues. Breaks down in less than 30 seconds. Fixed sights are dead on at 7, 10, and 20 yards. Recoil is minimal for such a light weight gun. Compact size leaves no printing. Comes with a 7 round mag but there is a 9 round one from Ruger with grip extension for ppl with a larger hand. Has a mag, trigger, and thumb safety so I don't worry if I need to pocket carry. The trigger on it is smooth and crisp. Same size/shape as the LC9s making it compatible with all the holsters and aftermarket items already out there.
I had a S&W Sigma Series 9mm that was harder on the hand with it's recoil, and had numerous failure to fire issues.
I'll admit it was an impulse buy due to cost but I've been nothing but impressed with it thus far. 500 rounds without a single issue. I recommend to anyone to test fire one of these. I've never fired a Glock 43 so I can't compare it directly. But, so far, I couldn't ask for a better performing gun.
