What is THE most hipster handgun…

[JRB]

Honorable mentions for the Vektor CP1 and the Bernardelli P.one

For the “you’ve probably never heard of it” hipster, any old, odd, or esoteric will do. My favorite would probably be a triple lock in .455. For the “before it was cool” hipster, a Salient Glock, as it offers style over substance.

Any chance you have some excessive carbon build up in the piston area around the gasport?

I have a GB and when I bought it, it had some pretty bad carbon build up.. It didnt lock up on me but had it happen once with a P7 M13.. it locked up after ejecting a casing and seized up tight.. Had to do the mallet thing you mentioned😊..

Turned out the gas piston had some pretty bad carbon build up… After cleaning it out and better cleaning intervals🥴 never had the problem again..

Sorry for my slow reply. Carbon build up seems unlikely. Shortly after I bought this pistol, I loaned it to a friend. He super cleaned it before he returned it, and the pistol probably didn't have 200 rounds between that cleaning and the lock up. Having said that, I still don't have enough rounds through the pistol to know how dirty it can get before problems start.

Beretta Model 70 / 71

I've been looking for one of those for awhile. Cheap like 300 cheap. I guess all the collectors have scooped them up.

Nice.

I passed on a minty Beretta 70 at a gun show a few months ago. Then I saw the girl on "The Last of Us" (HBO) carrying one... sigh. I regretted it.

Nice feeling little pistol. Very solid and dense.

Raise the question, is it hipster to buy/carry pistols based on TV shows/movies especially older series? I grew up watching 60’s-80’s movies and TV, and they did influence what I like.

Probably not hipster, but definitely the funkiest pistol I have.
SAVAGE 1915, a 380.... But the pistol is marked 9mm from the factory.
My dad used to carry it as his off duty, till the sear went bad and it went full....

At one point someone made him the wood grips for it.

Perhaps the marking is 9mm short, 9x17mm, or 9mm Kurtz?

The slide actually lists both.
