Haha definitely not!At least you didn't buy a Jennings J-22 did you? DID YOU????
Not sure about the functional part...
Wat? Bro this gun is slicker than a heavy hooker covered in grease. Never a ftf, fte, or malfunction of any kind.Not sure about the functional part...
Except that its kid brother, the 92x drags it up and down the street...... better ergos (2 sets of grips, for those that still want the shit potato grip form factor) far better trigger (no horrible puke inducing SA creep) .... better sights, better mag release too... it doesn't leave you wanting, like every 92F/FS will..... and still can use 92 series mags from 100 yrs ago... course back in the day you could find 92FS for $400, so there's that for sure.....
Not the M9 I was stuck with or the 92FS I bought for some reasonWat? Bro this gun is slicker than a heavy hooker covered in grease. Never a ftf, fte, or malfunction of any kind.

Why not a 34 instead of a 17L?I want one - bad - to the point I picked up some pre-ban mags before I had the gun. I built an AR instead, but it's still on the radar, along with a G17L. Just not excited about putting more money into a G17L to make it what I want. Might have to look again at a Mete SFX
I regret selling one. does that count?Spoken like a man who bought a llama
I wish they had the classic 92 front lower. The rail is practical, and the lights are a good idea, but it is the look that makes Beretta 92 unique! It looks classy! The cheese grater on the front is fugly. I do agree that potato grip is one of the worst features of the 92FS.Except that its kid brother, the 92x drags it up and down the street...... better ergos (2 sets of grips, for those that still want the shit potato grip form factor) far better trigger (no horrible puke inducing SA creep) .... better sights, better mag release too... it doesn't leave you wanting, like every 92F/FS will..... and still can use 92 series mags from 100 yrs ago... course back in the day you could find 92FS for $400, so there's that for sure.....

This sounds like a train of thought that I would have had like 15 years ago or something.... but I get it. The 17L is cool but ultimately useless outside of odd steel plate matches where the enormous slide size won't DQ it. I had a 17L bit now have two 34s instead. Even the 92X was a novelty. I bought it because it shoots nice and i already had a pile of 92 mags for it from way back when i owned a 92FS.I want one - bad - to the point I picked up some pre-ban mags before I had the gun.

I agree different combos would look cool but that's ultimately not sound marketing. We're on the precipice of a day where you won't be able to find guns that don't have optic plates either because everybody's jerking off over having TV sets on handguns. i get that want/need, but i also have a bunch of things that won't ever get a TV set.I wish they had the classic 92 front lower.

Big grips is definitely an issue for small hands. Got this one for $425 years ago. No doubt the 92x is better. This base 92fs is just so worked that it’s super smooth. Sights need attention though.Except that its kid brother, the 92x drags it up and down the street...... better ergos (2 sets of grips, for those that still want the shit potato grip form factor) far better trigger (no horrible puke inducing SA creep) .... better sights, better mag release too... it doesn't leave you wanting, like every 92F/FS will..... and still can use 92 series mags from 100 yrs ago... course back in the day you could find 92FS for $400, so there's that for sure.....

Some people are about girth, I'm just about length.Why not a 34 instead of a 17L?
I don’t get it, but whatever.Some people are about girth, I'm just about length.
I want something cool and long slide. If I had my druthers, I'd have a literal hand cannon, a la Alucard in Van Hellsing Basic shape from a Hi-Power / 1911 and chambered in an imaginary round, 454 casull auto. Which is the actual "why" to a G17L....
So... your dream gun only exists in a cartoon? A cartoon about killing Nazi vampires in London? Cool story bro.Some people are about girth, I'm just about length.

Hellsing ARMS Casull
The Hellsing ARMS .454 Casull Auto (usually referred to simply as "Casull (カスール,, Kasūru?)") is a very powerful handgun and one of the first personal firearms wielded by Alucard. This weapon is the first custom handgun made by Hellsing and was specifically designed by Walter C. Dornez. It's...hellsing.fandom.com
You guys grew up with Dirty Harry and the .44 Magnum. That is what I grew up with a Dracula anime where he fights for the british against Nazi's in downtown London. If you ever want a laugh, watch the abridged version on YT from Team Four Star - they are the same people that fixed DBZ with DBZ Abridged.
I'd comp it and make it even more ridiculous, but that is what I would be aiming for.
For now though.... more practical pursuits.
Yes and no - Obviously 454 Casull Auto is an imaginary cartridge. So I will never own it outside of a cosplay creation, and fake doesn't interest me. But the idea of a long barrel, long slide 1911, Hi Power, or some other similar gun has always had a on the "list". The G17L is just the easiest path to what I want, and the easiest to comp because of all the aftermarket parts available to glocks.So... your dream gun only exists in a cartoon?

You are correct that my generation lusted after the S&W model 29. They actually used 2 different guns in the movie. Most of the time, they used the 6-1/2" barrel, but in a few scenes they used the 8-3/8" barrel to make the audience think the gun was even more huge-er.
And the scenes where Harry Callahan was shooting one handed, un supported, he was shooting very light 44 special blanks loaded especially for the movie.
After many years, I finally bought one. It came in a beautiful oak presentation case, lined with blue velvet, and I shoot it all the time.
Loaded with 44 special, it is an absolute pussy cat. The 6-1/2" barrel and massive weight make 44 special seem like you are shooting a 22. A very big 22.
And it has the sweetest trigger ever.
With full power 44 mag ammo it can kill a Buffalo. Not sure about Vampires or Werewolves.
The first bit was just a bit of humor. I just really like the look and feel and the nostalgia that is brought by a long slide handgun. I don't want it for any other purpose than to shoot targets and laugh at myself for the underlying reason for wanting such an impractical tool.I don’t get it, but whatever.
I have a relative interested in buying this handgun. I know nothing about them, and it seems to be more of a competitive gun than a carry gun. I think they offer the same gun without the performance center work for a lot less. Anyway, what do you guys think?
All I can offer is my reality... My S&W M&P - bought brand new - was the biggest piece of shit I ever owned. Nothing but problems with that gun. went back to the factory 3 times before I sold it. I'm scared for the State Police who put their lives on the line with that pile of shit.I have a relative interested in buying this handgun.

Smith is the only company that engages in that MA trigger bs.The 10 lb. trigger would turn me away. The METE MC9 was just approved in MA.
If someone is looking at smith semis the likelihood of talking sense into them is not very high.81 replies, and no one has said Canik yet?
