179 sounds good to me, this is a great idea for the holidays!

Five years ago the course involved a Kimar made Beretta copy for familiarizing people with the controls and handling. The training on the range was accomplished first with weapons modified to "cycle" with air pressure and a laser to identify hits, followed by live fire of the M9,M500, and M4...

FNP Series offer the light weight of the Glock/M&P with the manual safety and de-cocking feature, all made in the US, by a company we already have multiple contracts and a long history with. They have the rails, optic mount and the suppressor threading already installed.

I imagine a lot of the popularity of pointed tips is based on reliability of feeding in semi automatics.

Navy is the same. If you have a sidearm, its Condition 1 at all times. Rifles and Shotguns are Condition 3 unless threat level warrants Condition 1.

I'll cast another vote for FNP-40. Great quality at a decent price, and FN has been enabling our "addiction" here in the States for many many years.

That's why I think eventually the M9 will be lumped in with 1911's, Glocks and SIG's. There's about to be a whole generation of veterans who only know the M9, and no matter how much we dislike them, there's always something to be said about that which you grew up with. Think about how...

"...who lives at the apartment building at 1751 Hemlock St., dropped the Glock pistol around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday. The gun, a model commonly used by police..."

So what exactly is the point of whining about OP's accuracy? That doesn't seem like a very constructive venture to me. At the LGS, every now and then I'll rent out their CX4, and Find it to be a great little carbine, but they are using the 9mm version with magazines for the 92 series...

Can't we all just get along????:D

The Navy keeps a logbook with each firearm so every time it is used the rounds are accounted for. Also, the military apples a life span to the weapons so the logbook will get a "Half Life" stamp when that time comes. The M9 I carried received its Half Life stamp and inspection at 10,084 rounds...

I recently purchased a Marlin Glenfield M60, and it has no serial number as well. Prior to '68 it was not a requirement to have a serial number on a firearm. Happy shooting!

Hello all, I too will be headed to MI this summer. I was wondering if there would be any issues sending some rounds down range on land owned by my in laws? Rural area outside Jackson, MI. Thanks in advance for any help!

Realistically there shouldn't be an issue at all, the manager was supporting our sport by giving him ammo. I'd take a few jokes at my expense for some ammo any day of the week. It seems we sometimes get out of hand with the sensitivity and need for positive reinforcement. If they didn't like...

A lot of disdain for the M9/ 92 series comes from the military, from what I have seen the sidearms are not always well taken care of, or get worn. This coupled with the not always wonderful quality of military ammo leads some people to lose faith in the Beretta design. They are both...
