    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? My last unit just before PCS cracked two slides & frames. (I regret some taking any pics but it had been common enough over the years that one tends to just carry on) I kept the factory box one came in just for posterity. This particular unit several years ago most if...

    TRG 22 with Cerakote

    Re: TRG 22 with Cerakote Having a chore trying to figure out what to do with the stock...have had some good suggestions. Maybe MarPat digicam. I will refer you to Jim's price list and just add up the accessories. He will work with you.

    TRG 22 with Cerakote

    Jim at Cerakote.info completed my project. I decided on Cerakote for this application for corrosion protection. Bottom line: am extremely pleased with how it turned out and will do business again and recommend. -prompt, courteous service with relevant updates and two-way comms throughout the...

    Cerakote TRG on the way

    Re: Cerakote TRG on the way Gents; -could not decide on the stock so left as is for now. I have several suggestions to include some type of pixelated. -can't recall the exact color. Had to shift from requested so as to match the rifle/barrel with the scope since you can't bake the latter...

    Suppressors Glock 34, convince me

    Re: Glock 34, convince me Its more of a comp gun. Take it to a match and try one out. It's like cheating.

    Re: why no beretta love? The M1911 style thumb safety is eminently more suitable for quick, efficient manipulation. Yes it takes practice just like any task. During the draw and presentation the thumb can easily depress the lever and the weapon is instantly ready to fire. Practice on the...

    Re: School m on the EAA line of handguns For just a bit more, get Czech quality and the real deal from CZ. (I admit my bias towards CZ)

    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? Yes-failures/parts breakage/malfunction occur with any design and, of course, with heavy use even more so. No-when discussing time tables and amounts involved. With the M9 on any given week shooting X number of pistols with Y round count per tends to equal Z number of...

    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? This is the sampling population I tend to deal with regarding 'issues' arising from the M9. Perhaps your experience with a onesy here and there or your company/platoon quals once a year/quarter demonstrate to you that an M9 is 'reliable', however, after pounding out...

    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? While the M9 is a mature weapon system and has been available for years for any military/police force, etc. to adopt...it is self evident and indicative that it is not issued...except to the US military. I posit that has more to do with a NATO ally's strategic...

    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? If some of you have taken the twist this discussion has devolved into 1911 vs M9; you're missing the main point: There are much better and relevant designs available for modern combat operations than the 1930's era M9 design. Caliber, while somewhat important, is a...

    Suppressors why no beretta love?

    Re: why no beretta love? AMU and others who compete in the service matches MUST use issue weapons. They do not necessarily "choose" to use it. Other options include shooting the M1911A1 but anyone using them gets spanked these days. I suppose someone could use the M11 or Mk23/Mk24 but those...

    Re: why no beretta love? Tony used an M9 during that action. As for the AMU M9?! Hats off to all of them for the work they do, however, they HAVE to use it and their shooting is not the same as tactical combat shooting.

    Re: why no beretta love? Here is a real deal example of the M9 in combat. PS Dear Taliban; Don't mess with Tony in H2H, he can bench over 500 pounds. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2003-10-19-silver-star-cover_x.htm
