I shot my ‘95ish P229 this weekend (9mm).
I will second echo5charlie ‘s “fuck yes.”
I’ve been shooting my Berettas a lot lately so I wanted to experience the P229 in “contemporaneous...
Interesting. It seems like (as others have mentioned) this Viper is a basically a half-lugged version of the current King Cobra. This is the first I've heard anything about the Viper, so... not 100%...
It feels solid, tight, dense, refined and… all the things you associate with a quality pistol. Objectively, it feels better made than the 2015ish Colt CCO I had. It also passes that test where remove...
I generally hear good things about the PM9. And the occasional problem child. By contrast, seems favorable reports on the P380 are in the minority.
I had a K9. It ran great. I figured for the...
The internet is festooned with them—all in robin’s egg blue.

Here’s the Bud’s listing:...
Interesting.
Looks like they filed an extension for the statement of use in November. Very curious to see what they come out with. I dig the PPS M1.
Walther actually has ”PDK” trademarked: https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=97280936&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch
I’m gonna guess the “K” stands for...
Whoa.
Yeah, I vaguely remember some recall with the S&W ones. But I feel like, from a general feeding/cycling standpoint, the Smiths were better than the Ranger-manufactured ones (from...
Yeah, I ain’t payin a grand for one of these. The .380s settled around 700ish. Give or take.
I get the sense that American-made Interarms PPKs were the worst in terms of reliability. Seems like...
I was thinking about the PPK's merits from a practical standpoint...
I think it's safe to say the pistol is still in production for cultural reasons--not practical ones.
Nevertheless...
...
That’s interesting. I briefly owned a PP in .32. I remember it feeling softer than similar .380s… but not vastly different. That was like 10 years ago, though. Hardly “reliable data.”
I more...
Sigh. Agree on the P230 in .32. I had one. Lanyard. Manual safety. Broke—sold it. I’m sure it’s worth a fortune now.
I know we hate the PPK on P-F. I know this. But (I think) that’s because it’s…
1. Generally perceived as unreliable.
2. Hurts to shoot.
Does a PPK in its “proper” caliber change these?
...
Yeah, the P6 makes me smile. It doesn't really have any "superpowers" when it comes to shooting characteristics... but... it does shoot well. Especially with the hammer strut update and fresh sights....
P230s/P232s are cool. I had an all-stainless P230 and two blued alloy P230s--one of which was actually Japanese police overrun in .32. Kinda wish I still had that puppy.
Still, I personally prefer...
Hahaha.
Cash is tight. And I just bought a DA/SA slide + guts for my DAO Beretta Cougar—which was nearly as much. Sigh.
That's a good overview of the strut/seat/mainspring situation.
If one has an older Sig, I'll say that upgrading to a newer mainspring assembly makes a big difference in the DA pull. I yanked the...
There's an FN 1910 sitting in my LGS's case for $350. It's got some patina. But it's also $350. I kinda want it.
Most of what I hear is that post-war HScs weren’t reliable… including .32s and .380s… but the wartime ones were good. Granted, I have no experience with HScs of any vintage or the Ortgies. But I did...
About the same size as my 5' 3" wife. I dunno. It was like genetics was drunk that day and mixed things up with the sister I never had.
Anyway...
Trigger reach is always a "thing" for me. And...
Geez. It's a hammer-rich environment. Now, of course... I must obsess over determining which one is "better."
Thanks for the tip, though.
No issues.
I cleaned and lubed it after my 2/28 range trip. Put about 100 rounds through it. Didn't clean it or relube it, sat for 2 weeks... then 60+ rounds. Didn't clean or relube it, sat for...
Gotcha. I appreciate the input. Looks like LTT and Beretta are out of stock, at the moment. But I’ll grab one when they’re available again. Seems worth $45 to see if it’s worth $45.
Recent reading has revealed that the LTT Match Hammer does more than just look cool—it actually enhances performance. I already have the OP trigger bar in my PX4… dig it. Wondering if I’ve been...
I've owned two 92Cs and a PX4C. Still have the PX4C. Don't have the 92Cs.
That's not to say the 92Cs weren't solid guns. But, as other have said... I personally feel the 92 offers optimal...
