    Challenge coin case

    Re: Challenge coin case Don't remember where; maybe PX? Wallets are sold with a clear window flap where your challenge coin goes, kind of like a law enforcement badge wallet.

    Photos PRE-64 Winchester 300win Mag w/ Unertl 12x Scope.

    Re: PRE-64 Winchester 300win Mag w/ Unertl 12x Scope. Classic design that will never go out of style. More close up pics are in order given the interest expressed so far!

    Suppressors M9A1 for US Army?

    Re: M9A1 for US Army? The ones we have been getting in the past year are all M9's (NIB). Since we are forced to go with it, I would hope the current contract is amended to just make the A1's.

    Suppressors Beretta 92FS

    Re: Beretta 92FS DP425: I deduced from the start your point and that you were not arguing in favor of the M9, per se. However, perhaps you missed my point. I will attempt to briefly flesh out the remainder of my philosophy... You stated what high Tier units use is of little consequence to...

    Re: Beretta 92FS DP425: Well, then let's extend your logic. What do Tier 1 pro's use?... (Hint-NOT the 92)

    Re: Beretta 92FS Long Action: There has been more than few dozen failures with slides cracking. Some units had alot and changed to the Brigadier slide (with the commensurate problems of getting new holsters to fit them... &!%@%#&@ arrg! Beretta'd again!)

    Re: M9 Performance Boom: Yeh, saw that, too. But...the response in the next issue was written by, hmm, not an operator or vet. So consider the source. (Not saying he doesn't know what he talking about.) I sometimes find it interesting that some/not all who praise the M9 either don't usually...

    Suppressors M9 Performance

    Re: M9 Performance The M9 took some design hints from the 1930s era P38. The 1980s update was nothing more than the 1950s era M1951. Bit past its prime. (BTW-more than a few Helwans encountered have exploded, always fun for a barrel of laughs. But then again, probably shouldn't have been...

    Suppressors M9 Performance

    Re: M9 Performance Kilo: Good tips and advice. I would posit that a Sig is better for first time shooters for better ergonomics and trigger pull. Building off immediate frustration when first encountering the M9 is a recipe for poor follow on skill development. Usually the above listed...

    Suppressors M9 Performance

    Re: M9 Performance These M9's were lubed. That is one of the very many deficiencys in that weapon system, IMO. A military grade sidearm should not be so dependent on lube to function correctly. Although it is quite true most don't keep their M9s properly lubed. Several units went to the...

    Suppressors M9 Performance

    Re: M9 Performance Aftermarket on issue firearms is a "no-no." Having said that, some do what they have to do. It's not worth to me to have to use my own money to pay for the massive F-up that is the M9 fiasco and continually fix what can't be. 10,000 rounds might be a slow month for some...

    Someone remind me again WHY?? Uncle Sam just bought another 400,000 of these POS? "Only" four locking blocks broke today! Had to pound the slide off one just to get it off, that or saw it open. Bonus: M4 bolt cam pin sheared off.

    M-4 being subjected to an intensive sustained-firi

    Re: M-4 being subjected to an intensive sustained-firi When any weapon is going to be fielded a large series of tests are included. They were done in the 1960s. This includes finding out failure points. The old dash 10 manual clearly states the M16s sustained fire rate. If memory serves...

    Suppressors question on the HK p7M8

    Re: question on the HK p7M8 The P7 trigger design will allow the weapon to fire no matter which is squeezed first; trigger or cocker. IE, squeeze cocker then trigger (as per normal) weapon fires. Alternately, squeeze trigger then cocker and weapon still will fire. Remove right grip panel to...

    Why does the Military use 700 actions?

    Re: Why does the Military use 700 actions? Hummer: as usual, fascinating historical info. BTW; can we see some pics of the Supreme? For that matter, maybe a thread on your entire arsenal?! I bet there are more interesting models.
