    When did Beretta start putting warnings on the 92FS?

    Out of curiosity, does the commercial M9 have those markings as well?

    7.62x25 tokarev pistol

    The Tokarev was one of the most well designed, under-appreciated and ballistically mismatched pistols ever made. With proper sights and a workable trigger, the pistol would be a force to be reckoned with. As is however, the 7.62x25 cartridge (while cool) is utterly impractical in terms of...

    1911 Compensators

    The better the bullet is sealed in the compensator, the more gas is forced upward as the bullet passes by. A bushing compensator, being large enough to fit over the barrel, lets that gas go all around and past the bullet, thus not directing it upward. Equal-opposite and all that, when gas is...

    1911 Compensators

    http://kingsgunworks.com/newcatalog/page11.html If they still make them, Kings probably makes the best real compensators. Trouble is, after you buy it and have it properly installed you've probably dropped enough money to buy another entry level 1911. How well a compensator actually...

    FN FNP .40....or Glock 22?

    As a regular user of a no longer owned FNP9M, I can say that the pistol I had never once malfunctioned in my hands through the course of some 1000+ rounds, to include questionable reloads. The only thing I did not like was the sights, they were not very crisp, and difficult to get an accurate...

    Glock or S&W 3rd Gen?

    I carry a Glock 26 only because I couldn't buy a S&W 6906 NIB for the same price. I had a 3913 LS that I sold like a fool. One of the few, if any guns I wish I had back.

    FNP versus FNX

    The biggest differences I am aware of (former FNP9M user) are in the firing assembly. The FNP models largely came with a decock only fuction. The FNX is like a USP ver 1. in the respect that down decocks, up places the weapon on safe. As near as I could tell, the FNP/X series is superbly...

    Highway Patrol/State Patrol calibers, Looks like 40 S&W is #1

    Mak, some will argue that there have been innumerable complaints about the combat effectiveness of the 9mm and 5.56 cartridges in military use, just an FYI. For ball ammo, I'd prefer not to have a 9mm. As a civilian, with the option to choose what ever nuclear-tipped super death ray...

    Highway Patrol/State Patrol calibers, Looks like 40 S&W is #1

    Ohio HP carries .40s last I was aware. Used to be SIGs. Not a .40 guy myself. I can see the appeal, but 9 is fine for me (.45 is better, but I can't lug that thing around).

    Old Miami Vice clip

    Michael Mann does some great work. I'm too young for Miami Vice, but I've youtubed some bits here and there. Good stuff.

    Sound off if you carry a Glock

    What gets me is that the M&P, XD, and other striker fired autos have virtually identical triggers, but nobody gripes about NDs with those. I think half the problem is Glock fanboys have ruined the pistol for so many that people just look for a reason to hate. I work around the "issue" of the...

    Sound off if you carry a Glock

    That sir, is a finely crafted piece of machinery. I carry the Glock because I'm too skinny for anything larger, and too broke to buy an expensive holster and belt that will support anything heavier. Were I financially able, an SVI TiKi would be the order of the day. My first love is my 1911...

    Sound off if you carry a Glock

    Either way, loaded guns, particularly Glocks make me nervous. Some people might think that's odd being how much I love firearms and carry one on a daily basis. Personally, I see that nervousness as being good for the sake of precaution. That said, with my first Glock (34), it took a while...

    Sound off if you carry a Glock

    That's because a Glock has no safety. Why in God's name you would lay a loaded firearm with no safety, unholstered on a coffee table is beyond my capacity to understand. Negligent discharge indeed. That no-one was hurt is a very, very fortunate thing.

    Sound off if you carry a Glock

    26 here. I can't hit with an M&P, I don't like the top heavy and slushy trigger on the XDs, and I love the simplicity and all around design qualities of the Glock. 9mm because it's a good caliber (at least for a subcompact), and it's the original and most trouble free chambering in the Glock...

    Finally picked up a Glock 26

    I too, love my little 26. I chose it because it offers service auto performance in a very lightweight, small weapon. It's not only my EDC, but really my G2G in most cases. I carry in a very inexpensive Bianchi IWB with thumbreak, carries like a dream. I know a lot of people like the 27, but...

    Don't want the kool-aid, don't want the kool-aid...ah screw it.

    The only thing really wrong with Glocks is all the ridiculous hype and fanboys. The .40 problem also has to do with the fact that the weapon was originally designed around 9mm, whereas newer guns like the M&P, USP, FNP, etc were designed to take .40 from the get go. I'm neither a Glock lover...
