>>65141352
>>65142617God the PX4 could be such a nice gun if it didn't look like absolute temu dogshit for a taurus tranny. It's such a fucking disgustingly ugly handgun.
>>65141352>solved>DA/SAPick one. I like berettas, I own some and enjoy shooting them. However, the DA/SA two step is just dumb and has always been dumb. DA/SA was always just a transitional crutch. It was for either for organizations with a bunch of old revolver shooters carrying over bad trigger disciple or for risk adverse managers concerned that a single, good trigger would be a liability. Once the glock exploded in popularity, it put both of those ideas to rest as the unfounded suppositions they were. Pretending that DA/SA still has a place today is like insisting on CFL bulbs over LEDs.A gun should have one trigger pull. DAO, SAO, "striker" (which is either typically SAO or partially cocked DAO), or the various kludges that companies have come up with like LEM and Walther AS, are all better than DA/SA

>65142951Imagine being so sour at your own lack of firearm ownership that you lash out at others. lmao
>>65142951You're not wrong.>>65142617It never ceases to amaze me how they went from a 10/10 92 to a "not even with your dick" PX4. They must have let an Austrian on the design team.
>>65141636Thread saved!
>>65141352The handgun question being "Can we bilk the U.S. government with a copy of a popular handgun that experiences explosive slide failure that was subsequently proven to be caused by inferior manufacture and not the civilians' favorite no-experience excuse of 'excessive service wear'?"
>>65141352If the question is "Should I buy a hanfdgun?" then yes.
Beretta 90 series pistols have a 16 to 20 pound hammer spring in them that makes the double action trigger pull 10 to 12 pounds.Buying a cheap 11, 12, or 13 pound hammer spring reduces the DA trigger to 5 to 6.5 pounds, making it much easier/nicer.I know some people here that do Comp shooting that use 10 or 11 pound springs but also skeleton/OP hammers to cut down on light primer strikes.On my Beretta I use a 12lb hammer spring from Wilson with the factory hammer, shot tons of ammo brands with no issues.
>>65144012Love me USP
>>65144146if you go below 16 pounds you should be using a skeleton hammer is the rule of thumb I was told, 11-12 lbs is where you should be using soft primers only.
>>65143907The PX4 looks good
>>65144278Idk, I think they look kinda ugly imo, but I have a certain affinity for ugly guns myself. That and I can't deny that it does feel good in the hand.
>>65144275I might be misremembering but I believe Langdon said a 12lb hammer spring is fine with all commercial ammoand you should only be needing a lighter skeleton or LTT "OP" hammer if you use a 10lb or 11lb hammer spring.All I know is that I am on year two of the 12lb hammer spring and factory hammer without any commercial ammo failures.Have not shot any Turkshit, surplus or military ammo (unless WWB counts) so I don't know how it would do with those primers.
>>65144294I got light strikes with US Military ammo (Winchester Service Grade = M1152), using a light hammer spring (probably 13 pounds), using a stock hammer. Rare, like 1-2 out of 1000.
>>65144278In black yes but it's one of those guns that should stay away from two-tone
>>65141352Are the ones made in Tennessee really lower quality than the ones made in Maryland?

>>65143010There's literally nothing wrong with da/sa, it makes more sense than dao and offers an entirely optional safety element if you're not comfortable with relying on the delay of sao or potential nd of safetyless striker. I own 4 strikers, a dao, da/sa and an sao and have shot my friend's two strikers and da/sa. Da/sa would still be entirely viable if any companies had modern options for them at a competitive cost with features like rails and optics

>>65148953I carry a P229 faggot
>>65143010>A gun should have one trigger pull.Or maybe you're just a fucking retard? Two words for you chief: dry fire...
>>65149047You can't easily practice DA/SA with dry fire since the action does not cock and transition from DA to SA unless you do it manually which is pretty different from shooting. Not to say that it isn't useful.
>>65149049>this is what retards actually believeHere, let me help you out....>first train dual action only from the draw>repeat>second train single action only after the draw>repeatBunch of fucking mouth-breathing retards on this board...
>>65149055That does not train for the transition from one trigger pull to another with a reset which is what I am referring to. That must be done with live ammunition.
>>65149059That's funny, it worked for my classmates and I in the Army when we ran through SOT, and it worked in every other training deal I went through running an M9.But I guess you're the expert...
>>65149065Every veteran I have interacted with online and in person who joined post-2001 is an unimaginably snarky, bitter faggot. It's remarkable. You all drip with it.
>>65149068I went to SOT in 97'. When did you go? Oh....nevermind. Your opinion is shit and isn't backed up with any facts. Mine is. Stay mad, though.
>>65149072>Sorry sweaty, you're not part of my super special warrior caste so, basically, you lose, okay?The English had the good sense to see the redcoat for what he was, a scoundrel and welfare seeker. We lost that and that is one of the worst things that ever happened to American society. You aren't winning any points with me for having gone through a bit of military training, nor does it invalidate my experience shooting handguns.
>>65143010>Pretending that DA/SA still has a place todayTell that to all the dudes winning carry/limited optics in uspsa or the respective divisions in idpa with shadow 2's.. we get it kid, u can't afford a 2011 but insist on shilling them til your days end
>>65149049>>65149059This seems entirely irrelevant unless you've got a bad case of the tism. Just buy a box of shit 9mm and go to the range some time or cock or relax the hammer every other trigger pull, you'll still have to work the action every pull on dry fire so its not like some Herculean task
>>65148984Probably the worst of the major hammer fired guns
>>65149049No. You can just dry fire on the dead trigger after the DA pull. It’s how you dry fire ANY gun for multiple target or more complex drills.
>>65141636meme gun
>>65149702>goalposts shiftedIt's still better than any 92 I've ever shot.
>>65143010The Glock exploded because it was cheap and reliable, not because it was better. NYPD AD statistics went up after adopting the Glock. Now of course you can safely carry a Glock, but the law of large numbers applies. A DA/SA pistol will offer increased safety when issued to a large unit/agency over a Glock style trigger.
>>65150095Yes. But the single trigger pull of the Glock can and is the deciding factor, it’s easier to get knuckle dragging cops to be able to qualify on the range with them.
>>65150830Which is the bureaucratic mentality at its finest. Management's life got easier, so let's go with it even if it is objectively less safe.
>>65143010I prefer DAO. The Beretta is just good at everything. And it looks cool. Sorry anon it just checks every single box.Caniks are also pretty nice.
>>65150963I just wish they could make the 92 thinner and the barrel very slightly shorter. The centurion beretta is 99% perfect

>i like full-sized pistol!ok
>>65154150They're okay. The Staccato is 2.5k, the prodigy is 1k less. To achieve the lesser price they cheap out on the internals by the use of MIM, they cheap out the frame to slide fit, by being mass production and not hand fit, but otherwise it's a 2011. There's a bit of horror stories of parts breaking, some of them immediately, while other people have no issues. Springfield Prodigy isn't the only game in town, there is the Kimber Warrior DS, MAC/TISAs 2011s, LFA, Girsan (lol), etc.
>>65141352Can it shoot .50 African Eliminator?
>>65149072He's right, you are pretty catty for a supposed grown man that served
>>65144278I think the one that doesn't have the ordering barrel looks really sci-fi kewl. The subcompact one.
>>65149068>Every veteran I have interacted with online and in person who joined post-2001 is an unimaginably snarky, bitter faggot.What did you really expect? It's all millennials dying and getting their limbs blown off for Israel.
>>65141630Anvil / Burletta Chads stay winning.
>>65143010I actually like the idea of DA/SA, it just takes time to get used to the different trigger pulls. The thing that makes me dislike the Beretta trigger is the DA trigger pull feels like it's being staged at the quarter cock, and it throws me off before I can fully pull the trigger. I know it's a skill issue. I heard that a trigger job can smooth out the DA pull, so I might try installing that and see how it goes. A really good DA pull should feel smooth all the way, with no staging or "hump" to get over IMO.
>>65154090you might have won the contract with that melted down barbie doll torso with bullets in it, everyones still going to say it was a mistake to replace the m9 for the next 100 years.
>>65144308what comp is that? I'm looking for a nice threadless comp for my M9
>>65156954>muh IsraelI wonder if half the people who say this are actually IDF shills trying to reinforce the notion that their country is the core of the universe.
>>65157254I recommend the Blackbeard comp.The one in the webm is the Jarvis 2 port comp that needs a threaded barrel
>>65141584anything striker-fired is precluded from winning
>>65157336>non-railed onlyFUCK. i want a goddamn comp for my 96 elite. everything is either fullsize barrel, or non-railed.
>>65143382yes but they are uglier.
>>65157220Don't even need to do an expensive trigger job.Just buy a lighter hammer spring and a skeleton hammer if there are light primer strikes.No more pistol shaking when trying to do the first DA shot.No more muzzle dipping forward when you finally get that DA trigger all the way back.
>>65157559I know Griffith Guns makes comps compatible with railed or non-railed 92s. Have you looked at those?
>>65157559thought you said M9, not M9A1/M9A3>>65158739Griffith does railed, his is kind of expensive but he machines them himself and I don't think he has a very sophisticated machining set up. The original copy of the SGS comp (the Leon professional one) was called the Ric comp and he made ones for railed 92s, but you have to buy it through him on the Beretta forum. No idea if he's still around.
>>65157559Also 96 elite?
>>65158624the 92 (especially new-build ones) is not as good looking as either Px4 or any HK pistol
>>65157336Thanks, do you know if he does sales by chance? I'm in no rush since it's going on my FRT M9 range toy. I'd love to build robo-cops gun but the guy said he won't make another run of the kits sadly
>>65157256Pretty much every foreign conflict instigated by the US for the last 40-50 years has been at the very least heavily influenced by Israeli interests.The last few years has just been outright supplicancy from Trump, who has clearly been compromised
>>65159500May we see a list of the conflicts?
>>65141352too big and too heavy. Not everyone is a 7" sasquatch
>>65159232If you mean the ones with vertec grips, yeah those look kind of ass. I shot a PX4 just yesterday, lovely handgun but I just effortlessly shoot out the 9 ring at 25 with a PDP so maybe I should get one of those instead. The toblerone look just doesn't do it for me, but the results...
>>65159247Nope. But the Blackbeard comp is all steel while the rest of the market is aluminum comps, so his I would say is the best value since even if the “comp” part didn’t work (it does slightly) the weight alone of the steel keeps the muzzle down. It’s a noticeable weight on the muzzle.
>>6515908496 elite 1A in .40.
>>65158731Sheeeing meng, I installed the 16lb hammer spring a few years ago, and it's way better than the stock spring. Should I go for the 14lb spring with that skeleton hammer then? I also have the Langberg trigger bar, might give that a go as well.
>>65159692Sick
>>6515995014 with elite II hammer or match hammer is reliable. Langdon’s newest hammer the optimized power(?) OP hammer bar is said to be reliable with a 12 pound spring, but I’ve seen varied results between different frames, I think they worked out the kinks by now.
Need to order the frt
>>65143010So, would you like a Beretta that wasn't DA/SA?Beretta makes that now.
>>65141352To some extent, yes, however I would say a Glock or hell, the P320 kind of answers that question more
>>65161571>P320Yeah, nice bait man.
>>65161576Believe me, I am aware of the issues with that gunBut the modularity is not to be taken lightlyI was surprised at how easy it was to take apart the whole gun down to the FCU
what makes you all argue so vehemently about this shit anyways? none of you have ever nor will ever have any professional or otherwise real requirements for a firearm. what gets you so invested despite that?
>>65161594It's like the console wars, just more expensive
>>65150095>NYPD AD statistics went up after adopting the GlockNYPD is full of absolute fucking retards that need 12lb trigger pull in their Glocks to keep them from ADing.The problem is training, and NYPD having a decided lack of it. There have been police shootings of suspects in Manhattan where they missed the suspect entirely, but killed or something like NINE other civilians.Let's be real here, they shouldn't have guns in the first place, ADing into whatever isn't the fault of the gun.
>>65161500There's a bit of tuning/handfitting required but it's a blast when working. I usually just do bursts for now since I don't have a muzzle break
>>65148764Cry more faggot
>>65145907The only issue I've had with mine (out of TN) is the extractor pin snaking its way out as I shoot. It's easy enough to reset using the polymer end of a magazine but it's annoying as shit
>>65150967>I just wish they could make the 92 thinnerDo you mean overall or just the grips? If it's the latter, there are plenty of aftermarket thin grips that work well
>>65150997You ever gonna get a g-sd or just horde compacts?
I just got a job in the ballistics industry and I was gonna pick up a APX A1 Carry since it feels weird to be the only person in the building that doesn't own a firearm. How do they fare?
>>65162174They are kind of bad, it’s not actually an APX, it’s the Beretta nano reskinned which is an old design. I do not recommend.
>>65162137I have a GSD (or rather a Inox .40 I converted to GSD), I don’t like it, it’s too sluggish/soft shooting in my opinion. I prefer the compacts sharper recoil impulse and snap back.
>>65141636>>65142520>>65144012>The USP was formally introduced in January 1993 with the USP40 model (the base version) chambered for the increasingly popular .40 S&W cartridge>FBI faggots couldn't handle 10mm and made 40 as their choice because it was weakerI fucking blame the 3 letter faggots we never got a 10mm one, big bro MK23 it's basically the perfect platform for running 10mm, like an actual combat pistol was intended.
>>65162174I guess I'll just get an LCP Max like I had originally intended.
>>65161553it's still DA/SA, it just has a trigger that doesn't let the DA pull reset fully so the DA pull is dead. replace the actual trigger and you get DA/SA back
which manufacturing plant was the preferred pick for Berettas? Maryland or Tennesse?
>>65162492Nobody wants to deal with 10 mm, not even HKthe MP5/10 is inferior to the (.40 S&W) MP5/40 submachine gunI'm fucking glad and thankful HK never made a 10 mm handgun.
>>65164102Related to this: how do I determine what plant my gun was made at? Just bought a NIB Brigadier.
>>65166058says so on the slide, ACCK, Maryland or Gallatin Tn>>65164102doesn't really matter, Maryland is the OG american plant while TN is the new one. TN has had some issues, either too small of a front sight or too large of a dovetail cut. Both have had anodization "issues" where they're not perfectly black or become plum purple or blue.

>>65155592NTA but man you are a tremendous faggot. I don't know how hard it is for you to take yourself seriously, but you really should stop.
>>65142951I actually like how px4 looks, well, at least the slide. The silky smooth grip is what baffles me.Like what the fuck were they thinking.
You don't need more.
>>65168961It works for me. I stippled mine, not necessary, should have grip taped it so I could take the grip tape off. I use more of a Professor Kim grip technique, where I'm using my dominate hand as something that anchors my grip, with my support hand fingers wrapping my primary hand and the heels of my hands connecting. Not so that much pressing on the gun. I bet I explained something completely different to what he does https://youtu.be/qYxjwAx2MD4
>>65169806Im thinking about stippling mine, but i dont really like permanent modifications in my guns. Hockey tape it is for now. I saw one dude doing laser stippling in my area, maybe i can figure something out, i want to keep it aesthetically as it is as much as possible.
>>65170654stippling a PX4 is hard since I learned the hard way that you have to get a fancy iron that controls heat (instead of a standard wood burner) since the PX4 polymer gets runny really easythe bore sight solutions stipple that LTT used looks really nice with their weave/diamond pattern.

>>65192892The WG P228 on the bottom has the OG folded slide. My US P229’s have the same old contour slide. I like the chonky.
>>65192742Metal frame pistols are great shooters, for the range and home defense. It's just a question of whether you want to CC them
>>65192770>I attach my identity to my outdated pastablaster because /hg/fags told me it was coolyou have no actual arguments btw
>>65149049>the action does not cock and transition from DA to SA unless you do it manuallySo then do it manually. No need to be deliberately obtuse to avoid training with a firearm.

>>65141352>help me berettanons plsI own several 9mil Glocks, a USP Tac9, I'll buy the first ok-tier condition used P226 Navy Seal I can find, but I still want a classic 92 style Beretta. It needs :>classic 92 form factor>Brigadier slide with straigh dust cover>threaded barrel (stainless would be even nicer)>rail would be nice>front serrations>don't care about optic readyI don't even know if something like that ever existed. Or will Beretta produce anything ressembling that in the forseeable future ? I guess berettafags would know.

>>65141352I think my wife uses that gun. She aims at my head to dominate me. Pic related, my wife
>>65195454you'll have to cludge together several models and get lucky. you've basically described a 92 that has never existed
>>65195454So a Brigadier that you bought an extra barrel and an aftermarket rail for? The front serrations on a Brigadier slide would have to be done by a machinist, Beretta doesn't carry that. There's the 92X but that doesn't have the slide safety like I assume you want and they have the vertec grip, which goes against your desire for the classic look.Your easiest solution would probably be an M9A1 frame with a Brig slide that you have a machinist add the serrations and purchase a stainless threaded barrel from Beretta's website. There are a few machine shops that do front serrations as part of the Samurai Edge engaving package. I assume you're trying to basically do a Samurai Edge so that's your options.
