Take it for what it is..... I have never had an unpleasant experience there. The younger RO is a pretty cool guy, the older RO u need to just mind yourself around. I go, I shoot, I leave. If i inquire about anything there i usually get an answer. My friend asked to see the S&W 500 in the case, clearly indicating he just want to hold it, not buy. The guy was quick to offer it, but didnt push for a sale or really say much at all about it. I wound up asking if they had any used wingmasters, just on a limb here. He could tell i was actually looking to buy something and offered up a couple models and was very strait, honest and informative on them. They do remember you if you go a decent amount, the RO's don't really say anything to me when i walk in now, just "recipe, ok, pick a port". While i see them jump on other people right behind me. They don't have that "family" feeling to your avg. customer, which is kinda a shame, but i just go to shoot. The problem is, when a range opens up closer to me, they don't offer much over the competition, i can get the same experience close to home, if all they offer is a place to shoot, then hell, any range will do. Sometimes i cant help but think what running that place actually does to the people who work there, something bad always happens there, so i'm sure they look at us like the next guy to put a bullet thru his leg.

You can buy the beretta trigger package right off their site. Have a smith polish any contact parts. Honestly the trigger breaks consistently and its crisp, time will wear it in for the better... I wouldnt change a thing on mine, but then again it isn't a S/A pistol, where as there is "slop" or travel before you hit the break point in S/A. I actually prefer it and it helps me to follow through. I may change it when i start to shoot better, but autoxnyc pretty much hit everything. http://www.defensive...ob-my-92fs.html -good thread

Do you need one...no. Should you have one, YEEEAAAA! My next big pistol purchase will be a .357, but i just spent close to 4k in the past month on guns and ammo so that wont be for a while...

I don't believe you'll notice any difference. If you want something slightly more accurate then go with a non-chrome lined barrel.

It would be nice to know i can hit a "hiding" target, some one in a vehicle or something of that nature with out worrying about penetration. i dont expect many people to be wearing body armor.

I didn't know zombies shot back...j/k lolz. I always wanted to try some of this stuff out. I'm pretty small so weight is always on my mind. Are ceramic plates lighter...stronger? I want to pick up a molle vest so i guess it being able to carry plates would be a plus, haven't looked much into plates themselves. Black hawk makes optional side carriers.

Do they make kevlar inserts? or what i've always assume is it a kevlar vest with plate carrier?

Well, other then the obvious reasons lol, but doesn't the added weight and movement restriction make you a better target? These topics always remind me of Black Hawk Down.... " I don't plan on getting shot in the back running away". He done got shot in the back running away.....

They are basically the same thing as a standard barrel other then how they are manufactured. If it's more then a $60 difference then i wouldn't bother. They are supposed to be cheaper and easier to make, so it has dumbfounded me as to why they cost so much more.

Do you want a chf barrel?

But it say's both rounds are still used which is what caught my attention, i do get the standard issued argument which is what your referring to. 855 can punch through 1/4in of steel thats why i have some stock piled, and i want to load the v-max bullets for ballistics. There just too damn expensive unless you reload them.

Where does it say that 855 and 193 is no longer used?

THIS^^^^^^^^^ I have xm855 stocked, will not shoot it, 2 cans of 480 in sealed ammo cans. I have plenty of xm193 that i blast away with. No point in using the 855 on paper.... and 193 can be found pretty cheap... I keep the brass and will probably end up using hornady vmax bullets to reload.

I was just about to post BCM, as they had stock last week. I just checked and wow, yet again 80% of their site is out of stock.

Totally agree, it needs regular sights and plain grips, ie no image. i get the whole tying the sights into the engravings, but its just to much.

I would hold off lol. They computed all of this already. Mayans didn't use Lea years for a reason and there system was more accurate... Which is why when converted we end up with Dec 21.....why 10 days before 2013? And the real question is... Time is relevant... If they created the calander 100 years after when they had... Wouldn the end of the world be a 100 years from now? There is no real explination as to why the calander ends..

My model does the same thing, it will not go full battery with the saftey on and racking the slide like a woman. Rack it like a man!!! You dont even have to touch the slide to get it 100% in battery, a small jerk and it drops in place. I think it just needs to wear in a little more.

Why a plate carrier over kevlar may i ask?

Is everything good now? was it a matter of the saftey/decocker being off? Don't sweat it, the important part is that you were interested in what the problem was, and you sought answers. I don't believe in stupid questions, just stupid answers. And for the record, the safety/decocker will not manipulate the slide.

no one is being disrespectuful. Sometimes you have to be a strait forward with cases like this. based on the question it seemed the op was either lacking serious details or just simply has no idea how the firearm works. he shouldn't take t as us being mean. But rather our interest in him learning how it workd. If you can't determine that a firearm is cocked then I wouldn't want u shooting next to me. But I would of course and have offered the knowledge to him so he can learn. I'm glad he asked eitherway. I would rather inform him on the functions of his weapon and educate him the let it go unadressed.

Ouwie! I can't even imagine what it took to get that up there. At least he's ready for big bubba now. lol.

Honestly, im not a huge fan of the decocker, i would just leave it broken... or fixed...depends how you look at it. lol. I would however make sure that what ever part broke doesnt effect the reliability of the gun. And the 92 has a 2 stage safety, the firing pin is disengaged and the trigger is disengaged. The decocking mech requires the firing pin to be disengaged or else the gun would discharge when the hammer falls, which to me is an big indication as to why the saftey is located where it is.

Familiarize yourself with firearms. When you rack the slide, it cocks the weapon. I dont know any DA/SA gun that doesnt do this unless it has a safety/decocker and it is on. You should have recognized that the hammer is cocked regardless of what ever weapon you are using. Live and learn. Not a costly mistake if you are safe, but kinda a kick in the pants when you realize whats going on. The manual does cover the safety and decocker.

A couple months ago i came home to two LEO's standing on my property(which is completely gated off). As i was approaching the house i stopped the car by the gate and was like, uhh hey guys whats going on... and they politely pointed to the deer that was impaled on my fence. They shot it with a pistol and pulled it off and left it by the road side for pick up. i was thankful they took care of it and showed my gratitude. For all i know they could have just left the thing on there....
