    We are going to have to give up something

    That's what the Dems thought in '94. As far as '96 goes, we learned lasrt November that a POS liberal can have long coat tails. that won't apply in 2014. I may very well be all wet, but Obama's appointing a commission headed by Uncle Joe, and his unfocussed langauge, make me think that he...

    Wouldn't it be easier to just get a TV you trust? :D

    Help me pick out a "fun" 9mm

    cz75 SP-01 Big gun, shoots like a dream, wonderfully shaped grip that works even for smaller hands. If I buy another 9mm, that'll be the one.

    What should done next to my 1911?

    No, just stating my needs and preferences. He's entitled to like what he likes. I started down the gun-ownership road on the basis of self-defense/SHTF ideas, and while I've become an enthusiast (the guys I used to jokingly call "gun nuts" just shake their heads and laugh at me), I still think...

    What should done next to my 1911?

    So in other words, you think he should have bought a different gun? ;) :D Or were you being sarcastic/satirical and I cleverly missed it? This is the amazing thing to me about 1911 owners - start with a decent gun then change out everything, until virtually nothing is left of the original...

    Beretta 92FS or Taurus 100SS?

    Do you have any sisters? ;)

    Why isn't the CZ-97 more popular?

    Well, I have small hands but a beretta 92 works for me, though I prefer the Vertec. The CZ-75 is OK too, though the DA is a bit of a reach. (The 75 SP-01 is great!) I was prepared to like the 97 - it's like a high-cap 1911 for way less money - but once I picked it up, I just knew it wasn't...

    Why isn't the CZ-97 more popular?

    I looked at a CZ-97 - that thing isn't big, it is enormous. Even in SA, the trigger reach was too far.

    What sidearm should replace the U.S. M9?

    At 50 meters, you're supposed to be using a rifle or carbine.

    Sell the Sig for an M&P?

    Interesting - I found I was previously viewing the link I posted without the pictures showing before. With the pixcture I see how odd the grip is that he is using - that weak-hand index finger in front of the trigger guard looks very odd to me!

    Sell the Sig for an M&P?

    Cost of keeping the Sig: what you can get for a used gun. Cost of giving up the Sig: The time and ammo and whatever else you spent learning that gun and proving to yourself that it will go bang everytime (if you were willing to change your grip). Of course this is sunk money, and there are a...

    Hi-Point Handguns

    Some folks here have recommended the cz-82 - I'd recommend shoot one first before buying - a friend has one, and the recoil of it is vicious for him, me and another friend - the latter is 6'+ and 250 lbs+. This gun, for us, would make the web of the hand sting after just a few shots. And no...

    XD vs M & P

    The M&Ps offer a magazine disconnect safety. The 45 ACP M&Ps offer a thumb safety. No grip safety as on the XD. I have an M&P9 with 1200+ rounds through it, only one issue: when I moved the mag drop button to the trigger finger (right) side, I'd get mag drops when using a high grip...

    Looking to buy a new handgun, Got around $200 to spend

    Me and a buddy shot another buddy's CZ82 - it bit all 3 of us. No fun at all - the back of the gun smacks your hand hard on recoil.

    How Many Semi-Auto Handguns Do You Own?

    Glock 17 vs. Beretta 92FS

    15, 20 years ago, I think. If you weren't a Linux person and an IRC person, I'd have to give you grief over that cheap shot.

    Glock 17 vs. Beretta 92FS

    The Glock does not have an external safety. If you pull the trigger (and that is easy to do everytime) the gun will go off. The 92FS has an external safety-decocker mounted on the slide. If it's on, the gun will not shoot. If it is on, then taken off, the gun will shoot, but the first...

    My First Handgun™

    Beretta 92FS is good - a 92G is the decocker-only version so if you hit the lever while racking, you get a DA pistol, not a paperweight. (The DA may not be as much safety as yoyu were looking for, though.) I have a 92G Vertec (no longer made) that's well past a 1000 rounds with no issues of...

    Beretta 92FS Advice Wanted + Some Questions

    I have a 92G Vertec that has been thru > 1000 rounds with 0 issues. Only had it a couple months though. highrider is right, there is something special about the feel of racking the slide. The G has the advantage that you can't acidentally put the gun in safe mode - it's a decocker, not a...
