Picked up a Para Warthog today:






I've read a lot of strong opinions about this gun, going both ways, hopefully this one turns out to be trouble free.

This is also my first .45

All I need is some after-market grips and call this one done.
 
Could you give a status report as to how durable the Cerakote will be? Wondering how it would hold up after thousands of rounds and daily carry.

Thx.

Where did you get it? I've been wanting one for a while.
Best of luck with it!
 
Thank you, I picked it up at Four Seasons. I'm pretty sure I grabbed it the day it showed up there under their used gun section. I haven't shot it yet so we'll see, but I love the feel of it.

They are had to come by new.
Let us know how you like it once you get to fire it.

Nice beretta! What's the difference between a beretta 92fs and m9?

Also, nice Kahr! Glad to see you found a non-massified version. I -really- don't like what they had to do to it to make it dealer-sales compliant.

Thanks, I'm just hoping I like it. I have wanted one for a few years now. That gun finishes off a busy month for me buying and selling guns and mags. Its been a lot of fun though [grin]

I was able to add a lot of nice stuff to my collection that was on my "want to get" list this month
 
I think the only real difference in the 92fs and the m9 is the name. I don't notice a difference between what i carried in the service and my 92fs now. Not 100% sure.

The differences between the M9 and 92FS:
The M9 usually has a straight dustcover and non-radiused backstrap (Contract Pistols will always be straight/straight)
The 92FS (recent model) has a radiused backstrap and angled dustcover
M9 markings (including proof markings and cage # markings)
M9 lacks the warning to read owner's manual
The rear sight of the 92FS has 2 dots, whereas the M9 has a single half-moon
M9 (unless special or limited edition) comes in cardboard box, with no plastic hard case

All model 92/M9/M9A1/96/90Two model barrels are made the same way.

All other aspects of 92FS and M9 are similar/identical. This includes warnings and polymer coated parts.

NOTE: The first M9 pistols were built to the F specification. While uncommon, there are some old M9 slides around that will not go on a 92FS frame since they lack the milled channel for the FS hammer pin head to ride in.
 
Picked up Ruger New Vaquero yesterday in .357 magnum, used a gift card and I also picked up some ammo and mags, and after the gift card deduction ironically the bill came to $357.

For some kicks I added some things.
