Re: The Gun Thread
Got another new piece on Sunday at Sportsman's Warehouse.
It's a Beretta PX4 storm in .40 caliber. Polymer frame and 14+1 capacity

Re: The Gun Thread
Very nice! I haven't found a Beretta that didn't shoot well. They have a great feel to them.

Re: The Gun Thread
Yeah, I used to own a Beretta 92 in 9mm and loved it.
I went there originaly to buy a Magnum Research composite subcompact in .40 to replace my High Power as my carry gun but didn't like the way it fit my hand. (hard to reach safety and slide release without using other hand) It's a shame too because I love the way my baby eagle .40 shoots and feels.
I also checked out the S&W/HK/Sig/Glock/Taurus/etc and found the PX4 to be the best fit.

Any reason in particular? I'm guessing it was the pull of the trigger.
The gun feels great and I couldn't be happier with it. I haven't done the modification, but one day I'll get the reduced striker spring and ride off into the sunset.

Re: The Gun Thread
He got quite a few jams with it, he also didn't like the feel much. He said it felt too cheap. I didn't shoot it, so I am just going by what he said. He is a huge gun nut though, he had all the magazines at work, thought the New World Order was taking over, etc. At the time he had about 30 guns, so I was shocked that he sold one. I am not sure if they have made changes to it since then either.

Re: The Gun Thread
I shot my first guns ever the other day, and will perhaps be back out to shoot again this sat! I want one now! I've been keeping my eye out for a beretta 92. Don't know why, but I really like those guns. the glock/hk/browning s+w I was shooting were sure fun though! The 500 came out, and that jsut hurt my hand.

I haven't experienced any jams at all. The gun does seem cheap, but that's because everything but the slide and the trigger is made out of plastic. I do know that they have made a change since first coming out - do to the infringement. I believe it was in the trigger assembly, but I'm not certain. If I had the money, I would have gone with a 1911 instead.

Re: The Gun Thread
how much does a 92 go for anyway? Where do most buy their pieces?

Re: The Gun Thread
Could you narrow it down a bit? Pistol or rifle? What will it be used for? How much do you want to spend...I know DSMers are cheap, but how cheap do you "have" to go?

Re: The Gun Thread
yeah lol I would really like a nice pistol to take to the range for leisure fun. Price range I guess is kinda open for now until i can get a good range of options.

Re: The Gun Thread
Well I'm sure there are a great many answers to your question but this is where I'd start: Go get your permit. Go look at SIGs. The SIG 225 or 226 are great choices. If you want a 1911 (Classic .45) then I'd say go with a Rock Island. Buy something and take a beginer class at your local range. Take time to really learn what you are doing and how your gun works. I personally get alot more out of rifle shooting, but that can become a bit more costly quickly.

Re: The Gun Thread
Entry level pistol I'd go with a Rock Island 45 as stated or possibly baby eagle .40

Re: The Gun Thread
Got a dumb question, how can Bill's have automatic weapons? Is because they are old, or do you need a special permit? I've been contemplating shooting one just for fun!

Re: The Gun Thread
They sell to law enforcement and also it is easier to get a permit for a dealer demo full-auto because if the weapon is a dealer demo it can never be sold to the public.
