Nice mate
Thanks. I might dress it up with a Trijicon but I want to shoot it a few times before I do that.Quote:

properly registered?
heck before A-cat rego came in the restricted firearms register was a joke, i suggest you triple check to make sure its registered correctly.
apart from that slightly political rant how does it shoot ?
And given he drinks Waikato it's a low barQuote:

Italy might not be good for much else but they can make a sidearm.
Ouch! That is down right mean.Quote:

Are you getting a suppressor for it? Weird thing to holster with a suppressor unless you get one of those ghost type skeleton thingsQuote:

That's a dodgy import skirt, that may not work.....but looks good!Quote:

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

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?Quote:

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!!
Its a throw away world we live in...Quote:

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.Quote:

I've always fancied a classic Beretta 92 - are the old ones better?
I just watched two restorations on fire-damaged P38's (Youtube ) there will never be a fire-vid on a plastic-pistol resto..( I understand their Place in things , just Not my place ) Each to their own , Wood and Blue all the way for meQuote:

My 2c, cool gun well ahead of its time. They don't seem to do high round counts well,pretty much all the old ones I have seen have had the slide replaced or welded due to cracks.Bulky for a carry gun but that's of no consequence to a target shooter.
lol… yeah mate … fair enough!Quote:
