Fantastic information, thank you! I should be able to get the tests notes above once I have me hands on the gun early next week. I will be sure to report back!

Not something that I had thought to check-

Here’s pic below, I’ll be away from the gun until next week, so if we need more pics we’ll have to be patient.

Would the lack of a bow tie cut cause...

I think it’s the lighting and lubrication on the gun, the barrel lugs appear fully intact.

For a moment, yeah, I really thought it would be easy as having a 5” .45 rebuilt by a name smith and living my best life.

I had a put a few mags through the gun, and then have mostly just done dry...

I keep my 9K hooked onto a 9mm delayed-blowback SBR. Gas is there and noticeable, I'm still happy with it. A tough can- it will take 300BLK in both sub and super, if I remember correctly.

I...

I'm very appreciative of being able to discuss these guns. I have interest in the 92 as a US military pistol and as platform that appears to respond strongly to gunsmithing. My idea of a fixe up...

Wow, that's a stunner!
:cool:
What's it like to shoot?

I wonder if a MCX bolt face in 7.62x39 could get you to a Grendel? A $3k base gun sure makes that seem like an expensive experiment. I'd love to see a shootoff against Ruger Mini14;)

I'd be interested to see how demand for thumb safety P22X Sigs compares to the DA guns. Curious the same way about the 92.

I find these thumb safety versions of legacy DA patterned pistols fun and...

Yes, absolutely a loss of sight radius from a Centurion or other form of 92-short slide makes for a poorer bullseye gun.

I'm wondering about having having a thumb safety 92 with the bullseye-level...

Yes, the Sams guns are wonderful examples of the exact topic.

We seem to be in concurrence that a thumb safety gun ought to be accurizable like a slide safety gun, and that makes intuitive sense,...

Does anyone have any personal experience with the rebuilt “Bullseye Berettas”? The most specific examples that I can give would be something like the guns with rebuilt rails/surfaces, barrel/bushing,...

I’m a big fan of the books, and I really enjoyed part 2 in the theatre - of course the book is always better, but this was very well done.

I'm glad this exists. I would love a "nice" - wood stock & blued steel Hornet in either bolt action or single shot.

The only trigger time I ever got on a Hornet was an old Ruger bolt action. It...

Sensei,

Yes sir, you are nailing it.

Your make me think, maybe instead of a composite mag catch, maybe a little metal divot, you could dremel and glue and go. I’m sure there’d be hack jobs,...

Magazines are a wear item.

The pistols I own are all matched in material between mag catches and mag bodies, so maybe there’s not such a disagreement?

Everything is a compromise. If Glock mags...

OZ mag catches are Gen4 compatible- I have a Vickers in mine.

Regarding the Platypus, while a composite steel-polymer catch would be exciting, mags are ultimately disposable. This would have been...

Assuming that Mini is better now than in the past, while still not being at the level of an AR, I wonder if there's a "best" caliber for having a good experience with a Mini- 5.56, 300Blk, 7.62x39?

Lol, fun!

Early '80s for this Elder Millennial:

1: Always Gun- airweight .38 revolver

2: Defensive Handgun- 80s' spec USPSA 1911 .45

3: Defensive Shotgun- Auto-5, rifle sights

Nice guns!

I kinda love how carry-comps were originally "before my time" and now they have become "of my time".

Can we persuade you to post those lovelies into the 1911 Photo Gallery thread?

I just got my Zed from the smith- It’s not a DOE gun by any means, but instead a full-size frame with a Brownells G34.3 blank solid-slide with some attention paid.

I’m super happy with how it came...

Got my O-Zed-9 back from the smith today. I was shooting rifle stuff, so I took a few plunking shots. She still needs a light, but I damn happy with how she came out.

Oh how the wantsies for such a toy torment!

Shorten the barrel, possible-chamber to K-Hornet, and a red dot. Uuuggghhhh

Very helpful, thank you! The EPS-509T difference appears to not be as big as I had imagined it. I've mostly been with RMRs & SROs, my next P365 or Glock 19 will wear an EPS, that it's getting thumbs...

I will put a flag on the hill that versatility and range in the recoil and "power" of a pistol is of value, and a world where both 10mm and .40 can play.

Getting to that .400" bullet diameter gets...
