    Another 4th Amendment Thread- in CT

    Beretta M9/92FS - Ready to GO?

    One in the pipe, hammer down, safety off. A 92 is not impractical to carry. If you can conceal a 1911, you can conceal a Beretta 92fs. Dress around the gun. I know, I carry one (M9A1) most of the time.

    Colt 70 series possible problem with hammer following slide

    Doing as you suggest, holding the trigger back and letting the slide slam forward, the hammer did not follow the slide. I did this 5 times to make sure. I will put the bend forward on the left sear tang, and go back to shooting it to see if it will be suitable for carry. Thanks for the advice.
