Good commentary on real or perceived shortcomings
of the 92FS and M9.
I found postings by former military service members to
be fascinating and informative.
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...
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.

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...
