One thing I see popping up in this thread is reference to the 380 "killing" people. Obviously, it is capable of killing a person and really is not in question. Personally, I am far less concerned about "killing" someone who is attacking me as I am "stopping them in as quick a fashion as...
Personally, I have never had and still do not have any interest in anything under 9mm. With the size of subcompact 9mm pistols these days, I cannot think of any reason, personally, to step down to any of the smaller calibers for defensive purposes. The 380 offers nothing to me that 9mm and above...
The locking block and the trigger spring have been the "Achilles Heel" of the Beretta 92 design. The original locking blocks had some reports of breakage (primarily the military M9). They are a wear item and should be periodically inspected for signs of cracks and replaced as needed. I have yet...
The bladed trigger safety feature typically assists in the prevention of rearward movement of the trigger/trigger bar. This helps prevent the possibility of an accidental/negligent discharge should the pistol be dropped. I don't really see how it is a "fraud" design?
The dual breech block roll pins are somewhat notorious for breaking with the older style Sigs. Two officers experienced roll pin breakage during my basic police academy back in the mid-90's. Personally, I replace mine every time I replace the recoil spring.
I have owned my '87 vintage P-226 for about 12 years and it has been a great pistol. I also own a Sig SP2022 9mm and IMO, don't let anybody tell you it isn't a great pistol as well. It has the best out of the box DA/SA trigger of any Beretta or Classic Sig I have owned. In addition, it is also...
I started shooting handguns with a DA/SA trigger. My old West German Sig P-226 and Italian Beretta 92FS INOX have very smooth triggers. Of course, they both have a lot of years and a lot of rounds through them. After installing an 18 lb. hammer spring in the P-226 and a factory "D" hammer spring...
Yes, there is something special about wood grips on the classic, all metal pistols (Sig, Beretta, 1911, Hi Power). Your P-226 looks great with those grips. My West German P-226 is one of my favorite 9mm pistols as well.
I'm hoping to get my Canik S-120 to the range this weekend. I have owned several Beretta 92's, Sigs, Glocks, HK's, S&W autos, etc., but the overall feel of the CZ platform fits my hand like few other pistols have (the Browning Hi Power comes to mind). If this S-120 shoots as well as I hope it...
I do not have an M&P45C, but I do have a full size M&P45. I really did not like the factory hinged type trigger on mine (I can honestly say that I hated the trigger), to the point I was going to trade the pistol for something else. I ended up installing an Apex Tactical poly trigger (just the...
I recently purchased a Canik S-120, CZ75B clone and after installing a Wolff 14 lb recoil spring, experienced the same binding issue as illustrated in the bottom photo on page 1 of this topic. What I did, was install the slide as far as possible on the frame and then used my Glock tool...
I have used both Trijicon and Meprolight sights for several years and have had good luck with both brands. Typically, Trijicons tend to be more expensive, but the thing I like about them is that in the event the sights naturally dim or should leak, Trijicon can service the sights on the slide...
I received the Meprolight night sights from Top Gun Supply this morning and just finished installing them. The Meprolights fit this slide like a glove. I'm a happy camper 8).
I'm not sure I have a single favorite 9mm pistol, but own a few different makes/models.
Italian Beretta 92FS INOX
Beretta M9A1
West German Sig P-226
Sig SP2022
Glock 26
Canik S-120
I would like to own a Browning Hi Power at some point as well and perhaps a CZ75B.
