Nice Dobey. Have not seen this breed much lately. They seem to have fallen out of favor. They where real popular when I was a kid. I love that majestic look about them.

That was very rare and it only happened to the original straight dust cover 92's when they where re-fitted with 40s&w barrels and became the 96. SInce then the frames were redesigned with the slanted dust covers and no frame cracking has occured, even under heavy/extreme use. The Beretta 96(d) was the choice of LE for a long time before Poly frame pistols became popular. I would not hesitate to buy any Beretta 96.

Remington gold bullets works for my conversion kit too.

If you wanted the same exact triggers, which is a nice option, then a Glock 19 and a Dedicated Glock 19 frame with Advantage Arms 22LR conversion. I know its not exactly what you want, but I have the Glock 19 conversion kit and it fits like it came from the factory as a 22lr. Same frame, grip, sights, and trigger pull. Just sayin

790lbs. Ouch. Would be nervous the floor would give out. Anyone know if 2x10 -12' span floor constuction is rated for that much?

1000rds - 9mm 115gr FMJ depending on Brand (Lawman and/or American Eagle)

Nice piece. But that's the exception to the rule. Any bigger than the LCP makes a real difference in a pocket.

No I have not, as with many guns I have bought. You can learn to shoot any pistol. Capacity vs size vs weight looks like the LC9 is the best compromise.

Metal version of the PX4 is the Cougar, Beretta and/or Stoegar. .

I would go with the LC9 just on specification alone. And no, single stack 9mm's are not pocket pistols. For true pocket pistols you have to move down to .380 and smaller.

Really dig this picture. The contrast of then and now is fully recognized.

I guess I qualify as a Glock "fanboy". I have a few Gen4's and and think they are great. But it is no secret that the Gen4 9mm Glocks like hot ammo. I find if I run anything less than 1150FPS the ejections get sloppy and weak. Stick to 1200FPS 9mm and they run like champs. That dual recoil spring on the Gen4 9mm is pretty heavy. My Beretta 92 recoil spring is much lighter, no doubt, and it will run the lightest loads.

If i knew then what i know now........ -Glock 19 Gen4 - Advantage Arms 22lr conversion kit for the Glock 19 -Glock 26 Gen4 -AR15 -5.56 DPMS AP4 16" (NJ Compliant) -Remington 870 7-shot synthetic 18"

Check out the Beretta PX4 in 9mm also. Same operation/controls, great balance/weight, rotating barrel, and maybe even a little less recoil. Either way you can't go wrong.

I refinanced just to get rid of them. Steer clear. And they are the ones at the center of the whole financial crisis.

This.

Go to RTSP. They ordered my G26 Gen4 and it came in within 4 days. Here is a little motivational aid:

Seems any brand 36gr- copper plated - hollow point - high velocity (1250+fps) cycles just fine. I have not tried CCI's but hear they work well also. My personal favorite for autoloading 22lr's is American Eagle 38gr plated HP HV. I stay away from the lead round nose stuff for autoloaders.

Ran it with a mix of remington, winchester, and federal 36gr HP HV. It ran smooth with no fail to feed or eject. 3 or 4 fail to fire but that was the ammo.

They are plentiful, and can be ordered in less than a week. Gen3 and Gen4.

I found it on gunbroker. Believe it or not, RTSP has one sitting in their glass case. Hurry!

I love Glocks. I can't stand youtube commandos/experts.

I love self proclaimed experts. Not to mention their from MA. I can't stand a Boston accent.

I have a DPMS 5.56. A few thousand rounds not one problem. It is also the most accurate rifle i ever fired. I would not hesitate to buy another one. BTW, I don't think the Oracle is NJ compliant. I have a AP4 bought from Meltzers.

GFH is a retired LEO. So yes, Anthony has a carry permit.
