Thread: My new toy - Because a man cannot have to many

I'm still trying to find a holster for the 44 - might have to go custom

I like the idea of having a suppressor but can’t really justify it to myself so for the moment I’ll leave that. I am fairly sure there will be one on it at some stage for shits and giggles though. It has a cack handed thread on it, is that normal?

I have had that on a Benelli M3 for a long while and it seamed to handle that ride so I am mildly optimistic. If it doesn’t workout I have other options I can explore. Failing that she will be running around naked. I only put it on because it was raining and I needed to keep my hands busy.

Don't know Beretta stuff well enough to say why there is a LH thread
I know you can get the John McClane holster here

Ha ha ha ha tape down the back. Do you reckon the RO would be OK with that?

I put a few rounds through the pistol yesterday. Man the trigger needs some lightening. Either that or I need to go to the gym to beef up my index finger.

Lol I was going to ask how you found the trigger as I tried one and found it unforgivably bad.

@Rushy…..yeah mate …Beretta took a bit of a beating a few years back re:quality control….not sure it was founded ,I have the Beretta model 96 Brigadier .40 cal…..no issues whatsoever,……the trigger pull issue,I think they come out standard at around 4-7lbs(maybe)….I believe there is a trigger upgrade that many have used……PM if you decide to go down that road…..shoot straight my man,….

It feels heavier than trivets on a couple of Glocks I have so I am guessing it is somewhere around 6,5 pounds. It won’t take me long to put enough rounds through it to know whether it will improve so I will leave the decision re upgrade for now. Are you still up this way?

Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer milled to moulded. I just can't bring myself to buying a gun with a plastic frame. The new manufacturing techniques are only producing guns that are almost as good as the conventional 'milled from forgings' variety, but how good will they still be in a few years time (compared to several well-used guns I own that are well over 100 years old and still in good working order).

Yeah mate.. I’m like you, can’t force myself to buy a Glock or other polymer handgun..BUT … I have mates in law enforcement,etc,and both my boys…. They love them and swear by them..I’ve shot the clocks,the last one I had ,that I carried on the airplane as part of that programme,a Glock 19,was a beautiful piece to handle and shoot…… still won’t buy one!!

I don’t think you are old fashioned at all. We all have preferences. I have several polymer lower, striker fire pistols some with a fairly high round count and I have never had a problem with any of them and the way they perform I don’t expect to have any problems. That said the pistol that I like most has a metal lower and is hammer fire.
