Inertia loading the M9A3, and a rear height sight question.

[03RN]

Since this comes with a threaded barrel, are the sights high enough to clear a suppressor?

Nope, you just need to shoot through the can

The trigger is better and its not because of the 'D' spring. Beretta spec'ed a better quality sear and hammer, no matter what any official stance is. Likely EDM.

I never understood the fight against the auto forward. Most of my handguns do it, and you can do it with any handgun if you hit it hard enough. It just helps me out and cuts down on time. I've never had an issue with it not picking up a round. It always went bang.

Is it faster? I'm not aware of any high level competitor who auto forwards as a practice.

Ken Hackathorn demonstrated that you can get almost anything to auto forward, particularly plastic frames, if you insert the mag at a slight angle and slam it in hard enough.

I have a lot of time with the Beretta M9/92 and none of them auto forwarded and I'm not shy about magazine insertion. I had a HK P30 that did do it, most of the time. After experimentation I discovered that it would with almost certainty do it with at least 8 rounds in the mag.

Since most USPSA shooters avoid shooting to slidelock, and many USPSA guns have been modified so the slide lock does not work on empty, I don’t think competition is necessarily the best reference. Auto forwarding is just another trick in your bag, which sometimes can shave time especially for a left handed shooter, but when it fails, usually does spectacularly. I think it is important to know how to load a magazine in an individual pistol and make it or not make it auto forward.

I’m pretty early in understanding Stage Planning (meaning: I am clueless) but I have figured out if I have to worry about what happens when my gun is at slide lock, I’ve screwed up pretty badly.

I didn't think I had to qualify my statement given our audience. But I was referring to IDPA.

Sorry, I didn’t consider IDPA when you referred to competition.
