I happen to like the Beretta 92FS/M9 models very much. They fit my hand well, I like the whole design and find them to be one of the most reliable 9mm pistols ever made. And I find the double action/single action no deterrence whatsoever. Butr I know that's not the case for many. So I wonder...

Used to have that view for a long time. Then I considered, the 7-shot S&Ws have proven reliable and speed loaders are readily available. So why not, a gain in firepower with no noted negatives.

Keep in mind what Miculek does in his record speed shooting is exhibition shooting at close targets. I've watched him in actual matches on YouTubes and he's considerably more "normal," fast, very fast but not his show-off exhibition shows speeds.

To start and it's all you may need to do, leave the mainspring (hammer) alone and merely go to a trigger return spring slightly less than factory. Then test by DAing as fast as you are likely to do in your experience. Don't want a trigger return spring so light you outrun it's ability to...

Not only have I had this special edition but just a few weeks ago I found myself referring to it and one of its articles on Skeeter's way of slicking up a S&W revolver.

Just got a mental image of you tapping, racking or dropping mag and inserting a new one while the bad guy is beating you over the head with a feather duster. Moral of the story is either your gun works or doesn't work when you need it and you either survive or you die. Or suffer multiple...

Funny, nearly all comments in this thread relate to autos with magazine malfunction heading the list. :( Seems like a lot of arguments in favor of a revolver, extra speed loader or not. ;)

The Maglula Uplula has been around since 2001. For its price and quality, I don't understand why anyone would want any other loader. The Uplula takes care of most any pistol round/pistol magazine. The speed and time it takes to load even really high cap magazines is really gratifying. Of...

Of course we all have favorites. But if your favorites are not among my favorites, then your mental acumen is seriously in doubt. :evil: :rofl:;)

Don't want a Korth but if I did, I'd just factor the money spent on other guns and what their resale value is. Suspect that paying for a Korth that way would be easy.

Korth "defect" is too tight tolerances by U.S. standards. Doesn't like cheap ammo or bad handloads. Or so I've heard. :p

In separate locations the S&W Model 686+ Performance Center 2.5-inch barrel Beretta 92FS, I like having a safety on model around house although sometimes I have a "G" model ready.

Six to 8 pound double action triggers are easily attainable on Beretta 92s and some of the newer models do not require any spring changes. Also models in the 92 family exist that are single action only with 1911 type safeties. Currently 19 models/variations exist within the 92s (more properly...

I ain't what I used to be. And while I'm a dedicated revolver user, I do favor at times the auto pistol Numerous times, usually posted in the Revolver section of The High Road, shooters have said they've turned to revolvers because they can no longer work the slides of the auto pistols...

Always entertaining and informative. Really like MrRevolverGuy's posting. Bur I gotta add my usual warning, them big boys are going to make a shooter pay in pain and injury as time goes by. Not worth the fun.
