    Will Pistol Iron Sights go the way of rifle sights and AR carry handle?

    I have now logged over 100,000 rounds through pistols with reflex sights on them over the past 18 months (yes, 100k). I am sore, I am tired, I am a much improved shooter, I am slightly older, slightly wiser...and I am enlightened. Red dot optics on pistols are here to stay, and they will...

    If You Could Create Your Perfect Carry Optics Slide

    Suppose you could have a full service machine shop create any slide you could cook up in your imagination, to compete in Carry Optics with - what would it look like? What iron sights, if any? Which optic? How would the optic mount to the slide? Multiple red dot options? Lightening cuts...

    What is a "DA/SA transition"?

    Yeah, if I could find a Stock or Combat or Billenium without having to sell a kidney, I'd own one for sure. But none of my carry or home defense pistols have a safety that must be disengaged (not like I'd carry one of those SAO Beretta models anyway). I guess the DA pull on the 92FS (with a D...

    What is a "DA/SA transition"?

    Without stepping too deep into the debate here, I'll ask something from a different angle. What if you're just SO MUCH better at shooting the single action trigger on a DA/SA pistol than you are at shooting any other handgun, regardless of trigger type? For me, I shoot no other handgun I've...

    Glock 20 Thoughts?

    I had a G20SF for a few years. I bought it specifically as a "field" or "trail" handgun - to be carried while camping, hiking, dirt biking, etc. I liked how ugly it was, so I'd never have to worry about scratches or exposure to the elements. The big fat polymer frame soaked up recoil very...

    Beretta 92FS vs. Brigadier

    True, but the chances of seeing one of those models in the used gun case at your local Cabelas? Not good. ;)

    Beretta 92FS vs. Brigadier

    My guess is that it is a 92SB that someone mistakenly marked as an M9. The easiest giveaway that it is an SB would be a straight front strap, whereas all 92/M9 models that followed have a flared frame at the bottom of the front strap. Or, as Shipwreck said, someone could have sent an M9 off to...

    EOTech giving owners full refund for holographic sights

    Was your check for exactly $15 more than you paid? I believe EOTech is adding $15 to cover shipping.

    Beretta 92FS vs. Brigadier

    I'm not sure what you mean, as both the M9 and the 92F have square trigger guards. Rounded trigger guards come on the older 92SB (as in the picture earlier in this thread from I6Turbo), the Wilson 92G Brig Tac and the 92A1. My opinion for anyone who wants to buy their first Beretta, mostly for...

    Ruger LCP Gen 1 vs Gen 2 what's the difference?

    I believe with the Gen 2, they moved the hammer slightly back when it is cocked, so that the trigger pull (the take up) is slightly shorter. Also, the sights on the Gen 2 are a few millimeters taller, and therefore easier to see. There is also the LCP Custom, which has even larger sights, a...

    Beretta 92 Mag. Release Upgrade

    Yes, after the "D" hammer spring installation, I feel like the oversized and extended checkered mag release is the best upgrade you can do to a standard 92/M9. Followed by a Wilson low-profile single-sided decock/safety lever. I have the extended mag release on 2 of my Berettas - a 92G Brig...

    Beretta 92FS Two-Tone

    To make things even more confusing, the picture of the right side of the gun in the original post shows an M9 slide on an Inox 92 frame. The picture of the left side of the gun further down this thread shows a 92FS slide on an Inox M9 frame.

    Beretta 92FS Two-Tone

    Two-tone Beretta 92 models were made for a while, but Beretta USA does not currently list a two-tone model on their website. To me, your picture looks like a standard M9 slide on a 92FS Inox frame. The "ASSY XXXX-XXX..." markings on the slide are M9 markings, but the slanted dust cover and...

    EOTech giving owners full refund for holographic sights

    Wow, I had not heard about this at all until I stumbled across this thread yesterday. I bought a brand new XPS2-0 at Cabelas in November. I have only used it on 1 range trip - just to get it zeroed on my M&P15. It worked great and I really like everything about the Eotech HWS design. But I...

    Sig or beretta?

    For anyone concerned with the Beretta safety/decocker, there are now a few options. One option is the Wilson Combat single-sided low profile lever. It virtually eliminates any possibility of unintentionally putting the safety on, no matter how hard you manhandle the slide during drills...

    Does such a beast exist

    I skimmed through and didn't see anyone mention the Beretta 92FS Compact Type "M". It is a single stack version of a standard 92FS Compact. They only made it for a short while, and they are really hard to find, but it is another pistol to add to your list.

    Simple Beretta 92 takedown question

    So...? Did you get it out, Thunderchicken? And did you check which generation of locking block design you have?

    Simple Beretta 92 takedown question

    Yes, some come right out, some have to be positioned PERFECTLY while there is a full moon in the sky to finally pop out. 1 of my 92 pistols (Italian-made 2007 production) has a locking block that falls out just by looking at it. My other 2 (1998 and 2014 US-made guns) get close, but get...

    Which Generation Glock and why ?

    Gen 4, mostly because of the texture on the grip. It is so much better for me than the "slick" Gen 3 grip panels. Also, I think the finger grooves are either shaped differently or moved slightly on the Gen 4 guns, and they just fit my hand better. I also strongly prefer the Gen 4 mag release...
