Adam Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Am I being too super army hooah for wanting one of these. Pretty much I am wanting something in 9mm, and my thinking is if I am going to get something I might as well get something I can familiarize myself for work. Is there something out there that I should get that would have some kind of selling point that would trump that line of thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have always liked them, and it is kind of a hooah army-guy thing to do, but I guess it kinda makes sense. It never hurts to familiarize yourself with something you might need to use to save your life. The 92FS was my first major purchase with my McDonald's money... waaaay back in the day. I didn't buy a car until I was 17 because I blew all of my money on that gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjxlr8 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) These are great pistols. A little heavy and some say underpowered, but very accurate and reliable. Edit: Some nice Beretta pistols for cheap! http://www.dansammo.com/firearms.asp Edited January 8, 2011 by jjjxlr8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 You can also look at the Beretta 96 it's the same gun but a .40 I owned one of those and had no complaints. IIRC I picked it up as a police trade in at vances for around $300 it just had alot of holster wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan, but I'm very familiar with them. They'll shoot about as straight as you can shoot. Personally, I hope more of the Sig 226's work their way around the Army more. Saw a fair share of them being carried by Army officers in Afghanistan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I seen those, but I have an xdm .40 that I can't hit the broad side of a barn with, just wanted to pick up a different caliber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it doesn't seem to matter which pistol or caliber I'm shooting, I shoot about the same size (too big!) groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Adam I'll have my Delta buddy get a hold of you, he goes handgun shooting at some indoor range down there all the time. Maybe you just need more practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Its not as bad as I am saying, just doesn't have the group I would like to have, which would be shot touching shot. Its just a running joke, because some of the people I shoot with are a lot better than I am(doesn't make up for the rifle shooting though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 no tard why Adam I'll have my Delta buddy get a hold of you, he goes handgun shooting at some indoor range down there all the time. Maybe you just need more practice that would be cool, i really dont shoot enough down here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 why not? only thing I can come up with is they feel a little thick in my hand, but I do like the way it feels I can't say I enjoy the external safety personally. I don't like the double action pull for the first shot. (Meaning, drawing from holster, taking off safe, and firing. The way the Army deems the proper way.) I like the Sig decocker personally a lot more than the external thumb safety that the Beretta's have. Being in SUV's almost 90% of the time, I was always finger fucking my M9 to see what position that damn safety was in. Most of the time I was red with the safety off (Round in the chamber for civilians) which made it a point and draw weapon. Taking the weapon off safe after the draw, breaks your grip even for just a split second. But, I borrow my dad's 92F if I want to get a little brush up on the M9 style pistol. I put a set of hogue grips on mine, and it made a world of difference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 actually Adam, just get a 1911 and be done with it, 9mm is for pussies anyway you need the gun smithed by Jesus himself and handed down to the profit John Moses Browning for all red blooded Mericans to kill the rest of the world with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah I want to but I would want to get a nice one, but hate spending more than a stack for a pistol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 a stack? btw, its the 1911's 100th birthday. You HAVE to buy one. If I can pull off the cash this year I'd like to get an STI Spartan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 come on dawg a stack is 1g on the streets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 We don't have streets where I'm from and a Spartan is $650-$700 and WELL worth it, considering how well they are optioned out. For the same price you can get a Remington in basic GI form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 If I get a GI form it will be a Colt, if not GI form it will be some super mall ninja .45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Colts are $$$ I'd rather have super mall ninja for less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thats what I am saying, if you are getting GI form you might as well get the real one. Otherwise it must have picitany rails every where, adjustable grips for the night sights, and compensator's for the ejection ports. You know the basics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
