My oldest is a Ruger Speed Six from the 70s.

The first time I Qd with a revolver was in 1977 for the Federal Protective Service. The last time was in 2023 for my CHL.

I have several swords too...

How do the M17/18 (military and commercial) fit in? My P320/M18s are July 2022.

Yep. Nobody knows what they don't know.

Hard to know if the SIG issue is a "where there's smoke there's fire" situation or "where there are ambulances there are lawyers chasing them", or a little...

DOJ (FBI, DEA, ATF, USMS).

I mean some think making and selling a gun w/o a manual safety/magazine safety or needing to have the trigger pulled to clean (or whatever else) it is negligent. Even if...

About 20 years ago the DOJ had over 100 UIDs in a five-year period, more than one a month.

The way Glock and SIG (and others) handle their issues is good for them so far, but it does fuel the fire...

CRKT Ramadi, design by Sirois. Feels great in my hand.
G10, SK5. Comes with DOT clip. About $80.
Better at SOCP type stuff (which I have done) than bush crafting type stuff (which I never will do).

I like the manual safety on my M18 more and more.

California added the M18 to its approved list 8/31/23.

Duh... the CA is for carry, not the state of CA.

Does not have a mag safety, which the CA state-approved guns do have.

Thanks for not laughing.

I picked up another M18.
This one is a P320 CA (CA approved?) marked July 6, 2022.
It came with three 10 mags and three 21 mags for a song.
Has worked great for me so far.

For work Estwing.

For playing the CS Trail, Norse, Spike hawks, Smiling Fox Forge Francescas. Have won tournaments with those.

Throwing two at the same time is fun, but not really useful. More...

Fixed that.

Have done the most knifey things with these (except for the other pocket folders).

Some polymer stuff I got as gifts work better than I thought. Can motivate you to get off and go...

The only knives I was ever issued were Camillus and Ontario.

I purchased knives from Victorinox, Wegner, Puma, Mora, Glock, Spyderco, Buck, and Gerber from 1978-1984.

Bought the Nighthawk in...

Look for used Ruger Speed/Service/Security Sixes.

Still out there in 38/357 and 9mm from $350-1,300.

Anybody know where I can get grips (wood or rubber) for an earlier "low back" grip serial number 150-series Speed Six revolver?

My Turkish 92 has run Fed, Rem, Win, Speer, Magtech, Fiochi, S&B, Armscor, PMC, SVT, and ZSR w/o any problems.

Can't find anything specific online about Turkish service pistol trials for the 92 copies.

This what I could find from makers of the pistols:

Thank you!

Just finished A Better Tomorrow. Wow. Will look for the others.

I watch everything with CC so subtitles are not a problem.

How about 92s on TV?

Spenser for Hire, Walker Texas...

To lighten it up...

Best 92 movie?

My vote is "The Replacement Killers"?

Chow Yun Fat with four 92s! One in each hand and two in his belt!

Mira Sorvino with a 92!

Are the SIGs and Berettas you can buy as good as the ones the govt gets?

Beats me. Despite LAT (lot acceptance testing) I saw probs with some M9s and M11s. I've seen and had probs with commercial...

Already answered:

"I did not say they were better. I said the tests were as tough/tougher.

I remember a 30K or more endurance test as opposed to the 5-12K in M9/M11/M17/18 for example.

I...

Never said that.

I did say good enough. And it still is for me. So are a lot of others many of you would never, ever, consider.

I can live with that.

Here are the current Turkish service...

Do what makes you happy; I am.

Some of you need a $2,000 1911 to feel secure; I'm fine with a $200 Maverick shotgun.

It's good enough for me; if it's not good enough for you, I can live with...

I did not say they were better. I said the tests were as tough/tougher.

I remember a 30K or more endurance test as opposed to the 5-12K in M9/M11/M17/18 for example.

I trust them to be good...

I can live with that.

I served with a senior NCO who worked the USAF trials in the 70s, as well as the JSSAP in the 80s. They even looked at converting the M15 revolvers to 9mm...

I was there...

The finger grooves do not bother me.

I like it the way it is, and it will stay that way.

It does fit in all my M9A1 holsters.

The M92 is a proven design that has passed numerous...
