    Good plastic pistol for my old man?

    Springfield is a name only. Most of their stuff is foreign made. You could get him a Browning Pro-9, the "Browning" version of the FN FNP, but Browning is owned by FN Herstal now. You could wait a bit and get the Beretta PX4 Compact that is coming out. It should be made in Maryland, though...

    Good plastic pistol for my old man?

    Definitely have him look at the FN FPN-9 or FNP-9m

    In need of advice...

    This depends on what you mean by effective range. Do you care about the power of the range as it progresses in flight over time or the ability to score a hit, due to it being reasonably accurate?

    Banned Glock pistols

    Gunny, thats the problem. For most people without clues, they are using their heads as suppositories :)

    What's the best modern .22LR semi-auto Pistol Plinker?

    Beretta Neos. They look like space guns, strip like magic and group very well. Get the INOX as the black finish is nothing to write home about. SOME day, Beretta is going to get the carbine kit out for it.

    .22 plinker pistol.

    Beretta Neos (spring for the INOX). They are EASY to disassemble and reassemble. When you have done it a few times, you can take it apart and put it back together in under a minute or so.

    PX4 Compact?

    That's fine, but that makes it TOTALLY different from the PX4. I think its disingenuous to call it a PX4 compact. The pistol itself is very different.

    PX4 Compact?

    It is a PX4 in name only. The standard browning action vs the rotating barrel design makes them Beretta 9000s in new frames.

    9mm

    allow me to rephrase, then. They are nigh impossible to get in the USA because of import policy.

    9mm

    If it is stamped Kurtz, I will buy short .357 reloads that came from .38 boxes (as long as someone doesn't slip in a 9.2 on me). Aw hell... I think I shall just buy a 12 guage. Don't. They are NOTHING alike. The .380/9mm Kurz is NOT a thing like the .38 special or .357 magnum. They are...

    FNP-Issues & Warranty

    FN Herstal is the company also known as Browning (OK, they own Browning). While others should be able to tell you more about the gun, the company itself is PRETTY big. I would have to assume they stand behind their products.

    Some well asked questions about personal defense

    A broken "pelvis" is usually actually a break in the large cap of the femur. That is about a 2" target and not in the same place exactly on every person, especially in a highly mobile region. A bullet to the "pelvis proper" will punch a hole or crack that area. It will hurt a LOT as many...

    Beretta Neos who has one?

    I have had mine for about 2yrs. The finish in black .....sucks. so keep it oiled well. It likes to run a bit on the wet/lubed side. The function is great. The only ammo of many I have tried it does not like is Federal American Eagle. Cheap other cheap stuff runs well. My wife was pinging...

    Best pistol under $400?

    Could get a CZ 40P and a good deal of ammo :)

    Auto terminology for revolver shooter?

    Then it can't be carried cocked and locked. The glock safety is not a manual safety, so you can't lock it. Also, the glock safety is more of a preventative from firing in case the gun were to be dropped, struck, etc. Pulling the trigger makes it go bang. There is no "single action" mode in a...

    Auto terminology for revolver shooter?

    Here are some basics: Trigger types SAO = Single Action Only. This is not quite like the single action wheel guns, in that you don't have to cock the hammer on every shot. You only have to rack the slide or cock the hammer on a loaded chamber. The trigger pull is usually fairly light, in...

    Fixed sight 9mm question

    You can always contact the manufacturer. I believe that my CZ was sighted for 124gr. It seems slightly more accurate with 124s than the standard 115s I feed it, but at the 7-10yd distances I shoot, its not a big enough reason for me to play around with it. I can deal with 1 inch off here or...
