I currently own and carry three different Glock pistols, the G22, G23 and G27. These are all nice pistols but I don’t really like the way they fit my hands and their trigger pull.
Now I want a 9mm because of its affordable ammo and wide spread use. I don’t want a glock for the reasons I have mentioned, but this new full size 9mm has to have the following features. High capacity mags easily available, single action only capabilities, extreme reliability, above average accuracy, parts and add ons avaliable, and something that is still going to be carried by many down the road.
I will be using this pistol at first only for target practice until I become more familiar with it and I feel as confident or hopefully more confident with it than with my glocks. Then it will serve many other purposes such as a carry gun, accompanying my moss 500 persuader at night and a bug out pistol if things ever get bad. (You can carry allot more 9mm ammo than something bigger, where both will get the job done equaly).
I have been thinking about a BHP but How much longer do you think they will be a comin combat pistol now that browning stoped importing them to the US? I also heard that one wouldnt be sufficent unless I put in lots of $$$$$ for a gun smith. Is this true? Does a beretta 92fs meet all these requirments? Are they capable of being carried cocked and locked? Even if this means cocking the hammer manualy? Which way do you push the safety to fire up or down? In some photos it looks like you must push them up to fire and that seems hard to do to me???
Any Ideas will be GREATLY appreciated. I have been pondering on this purchase for 2 months already and still didn’t come up with a pistol yet. I am hoping that there is someone on this board that can help out.
Thanks again,
Reed
