It would appear that the thread over on AR15.com has been moved from the original as listed earlier in this thread. The new location can be found here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=418451&page=20 It appears that possibly a moderator had relocated the thread, however...

Hmmm, the third party sellers of Model 1 equipment at recent show in N. Texas still begs the question; if these sellers are purchasing the items(regardless of full kits, upper assemblies, etc), just what type of respect(or partial/complete) or lack of respect does this show to those of us that...

An interesting point... ... from one poster over on AR15.com, it would appear that Model 1 is selling kits/parts at shows local to Model 1, but telling phone/on-line orders that a delay is default at this time. Here's the link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=418451&page=16...

If Discontinued.... ... models are to be included(Sig 225, 220, S&W 39, etc.), then include the Beretta 92 Compact L Type M. This is the shorter barreled and gripped Beretta model 92. The barrel is 4.3" in length and the grip 0.5" shorter, with a single stack eight round magazine. The Type M...

My choice for 9mmx19 when that caliber is used for CCW is one of two: Beretta 92 Compact L Type M(Inox) Beretta 92FS Inox The holster in use is a DeSantis Cozy Partner

Taurus PT917 is similar.... ... to the now discontinued Beretta 92 and 96 Centurian. The Centurian was a full size frame(in the grip area, but shorter dust cover area), but a shorter barrel of 4.3" in length. For competition, the fact that the PT917 has a rail arrangement on the dust cover...

The other day I was culling the range brass that I've picked up after several matches recently and ran across something that I'd not seen before. I discovered a single piece of .40 S&W brass that has a headstamp of LC and the caliber/nomenclature(40 S&W). Up to this point, I was unaware that...

Bersa T9FS Experience I had owned a Bersa Thunder 9 Full Size(T9FS). It was okay for a time, but a metallurgical flaw in the slide caused a failure. Rather than detail it here, just utilize this link to a post on the Bersa Talk forum: http://bersatalk.com/forums/thread/12635.aspx I've not...

.35 Remington While I can't vouch for experience with a 21" TC barrel, I had done some work with the .35 Rem in a 24" barrel on a Brazilian SR Mauser. The short of it is that I found Hodgdon H-335 to be a very good powder behind a Hornady 180 SSP(Single Shot Pistol) bullet. My final load was...

Update On Bersa Thunder 9 Full Slide Failure While tangentially related to this thread's start, here's a link to a post on Bersa Talk. It pertains to my experience with a Bersa Thunder 9 Full Size(T9FS), Eagle Imports the Bersa USA importer and what may be some startling information on how...

Bersa Experiences I hate to put a partial damper on the party, but I thought that I'd make a short post of my Bersa experiences. I've owned four Bersa pistols. These being a model 85 13 rnd. capacity .380, a Thunder 22, a Thunder .380 Deluxe and lastly a Thunder 9 Full Size(aka High...

Well Now.... .... wouldn't that just figure. The chain sports store that appears to be the friendliest(perhaps, price wise) is on the other end of my state. Well, all's not so bad. I've got a Cabela's 20 minutes away, a Gander Mountain about an hour and a Bass Pro about the same. I guess...

Perhaps More.... .... enlightened in your area, Bond. The shops in my general locale do not tend to carry much in the way of the Taurus line. And BTW, I make the rounds often enough to know when the changes in such happen. I may want one at some time, but it isn't at the top of the list(an it...

Firestorm .38 Super If memory serves(uh oh!), the Firestorm that was a .38 Super was actually a Llama remarked as a Firestorm. Typically, a 1911 type clone platform. Ah yes, the Bersa .380 Super, which is unfortunately not imported into the USA. I believe the Thunder380 Plus may have been...

The Thing That Gets Me.... ..... is that of all the eye care professionals that I've had experience with in my life(only 48 years young, plus few months:D ), I have yet to come across any(and by that I mean absolutely none) that have had any of the laser eye procedures performed on themselves...
