I got mine from Midway, $20/ea 15rd. And I'd be wary of the GI contract ones. I got two and they have a lot of FTF and don't lock the slide back. I did some experimenting and I think it's that the feed lips are too close together preventing the rounds from being extracted cleanly and the follower from coming all the way up. For reference, I have a 92A1 but my friend has an M9 and they work fine, so I think they changed the lock lever. Now they just sit in my safe.

That's one of the ones I have and use.

You convinced me to finally order one and try it. Just placed the order with Olhasso. I was always confused because most other stores only list it by the spring weight so I didn't know which was correct. As for the lanyard loop pin, mine was difficult to remove also, and I have an Italian A1. I had to use a punch and hammer to remove it with a clamp keeping it compressed.

Thinking of just trying this. It's cheap enough, I can get it quick, and it's ambidextrous. Anyone see any glaring reasons it would be bad for minimal use USPSA? http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Beretta-two-laser-rail/dp/B003LXRQXW/ref=cm_rdp_product

I already have a Serpa for my Glock, and I do like it, which is why I'm looking at it for my Beretta. I just don't know if it will fit mine and don't have enough time to try it and be wrong. And thanks for the offer mcbethr but I'm a lefty. I'm now starting to think of maybe just trying a universal holster if I can find one that will work.

Thanks guys, but I need to know if any of these fit the A1 with the rail. I'm quickly finding out that many holsters noted as fitting the 92 don't fit the A1 and need to find one quickly to have it in time for next weekend. Otherwise I'll have to try to find a generic leather holster that will fit. Unfortunately they're not cheap either.

Or better still, any other suggestions for a cheap, readily available left-handed holster for USPSA for a 92A1. I don't want to spend a lot since I'm not going to use it much and I have a DOH on the way already.

To start off, please don't give me the "don't buy a serpa" speech. Thanks. I'm looking to buy a Serpa holster for my Beretta 92A1 as a stopgap since my Bladetech DOH was backordered and likely won't be here in time for the USPSA class next Saturday. Before I order it though, I want to make sure it will fit the 92A1 with a rail. Does anyone have any insight on whether it will fit? I e-mailed them this morning but haven't heard back yet, so I may just give them a call if no one here knows.

ABC's of reloading does not have load data but is a good read for those unfamiliar with the inner workings of cartridges and reloading. I have ABC's, Lee's, and Lyman, along with LoadBooks from Midway for a few calibers. I personally try to stay away from books published by bullet or powder manufacturers because they tend to only include data for their own products. That's why i bought the Loadbooks, because they are just compiled from all of the manufacturer's books.

Unfortunately it's looking like my holster won't show up in time for the class, so it's time to start looking for an alternative. Does anyone have either extra mag pouches for Glock mags or know if the BladeTech Millenium double stack double mag pouches work with them? I know they have different ones for Glock so I assume they don't work, but I'm not home to check right now. Or as a less likely alternative, anyone have a lefty holster for a 92A1 I can borrow? My last ditch effort will be to quickly order a basic cheap holster for the 92 to use just for that day until my DOH shows up.

I've been starting to practice shooting with a small piece of cellophane tape on my glasses over my right eye (I'm lefty) to get me accustomed to shooting with both eyes open, and so I don't develop too much eye strain by closing my right eye all the time. I'm sure I'll look exceptionally silly at USPSA matches when I start, but whatever. The trick is finding the balance between enough tape to be effective and not too much to make it so I can't see when not shooting. Also, folding one end of the tape over to leave a tab to pull it back off afterwards.

I paid about that at Mastodon for 15/20 P-Mags w/ ranger plates. MidwestPX shows them at $22 w/o ranger plate, plus shipping. I'm sure a few of the other vendors here will chime in as well.

I only bought my house in 2008 and I paid $4+/gal. Somewhere between then and now, it dropped to around $1.50/gal too, so not even the overall increase since 2003, but just the volatility over the past 4 years has fluctuated that much.

Oops, did I just show my ignorance of HK products? Well, my statement still stands for Sigs, which means I have no idea why HK's cost that much.

The thing a lot of people seem to forget (not necessarily here, but in general) is that Sigs/HKs are metal frame pistols, where Glocks/M&Ps and the like are polymer frame pistols. You can't manufacture a metal frame for nearly the same cost as a molded polymer frame, it's just not possible. That's largely the difference between the two. I look at it more as the $500ish pistols are (usually) polymer frames where the $800+ are metal, and that's mostly the difference in price. Though I do agree with Ray Ray and diamondd about the 92, even though I'm not from Hudson county. I prefer my 92 to my buddy's 226, and it's WAY more lefty friendly.

If it passes, it will likely either force NJ to issue permits or we will go the way of IL and become NO issue. I would not be surprised if it were the latter. The likelihood of it passing though are probably slim considering Obama won't sign it and I don't know if there's enough backing to get 2/3 in Congress, though it was close in the House already.

Can you perform sub-1sec draws with a Level 3 retention holster? Doubtful. Can you grapple with a bad guy with a Ghost Holster and expect to not have any problems? Again, probably not. The reason for many different options of the same item on the market is because no one thing is suitable for every situation. If there was, then nothing else would sell because no one would buy anything but the ONE. If the Serpa holster were really truly terrible, no one would buy it and it would disappear into obsolescence, but because it is suitable for certain situations, it will continue to sell and be used for those situations. I have one that I use with a Glock for carrying around my house. If I were able to CCW would I use it? Probably not, but would I chastise others for using it? Of course not. It's personal preference. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to buy it.

I went in there once about 3 years ago and he was chatting with what must have been a buddy of his. I walked around looking in the cases at guns for 20 minutes before he acknowledged my presence. I told him what I was looking for, he quoted a high price and walked away back to his buddy. Then I left and never went back. Seems like the guy really is hit or miss depending on who you ask, but for me it was a miss.

The problem is that the ROs don't know who can and who can't be trusted (until they learn who you are), so they have to watch everyone like a hawk. I can't remember the last time I was at the range where someone didn't take their gun off the bench and walk back to their bag, or stand at the bench loading mags during a cease-fire, etc. I was at the pistol range on Friday for about 4 hours and there were no more than 6 people there at once, and yet someone was breaking one of the rules and had to be called out no less than 3 times. I can't even imagine how bad it is on weekends when everyone comes out to play since I make every effort to not go on a weekend. I don't like some of the rules either, but considering CR is 15 minutes from my house and the next closest is 45, I can live with it. I have a feeling I know which RO gave you an issue though, since I've had a run-in with one before who also spoke down to me, and that was over a guest using a separate port on a Friday afternoon on the rifle range with his own gun when there were only 10 people there. He actually asked me how many times my guest had shot before to determine if he was competent.

That's correct. It is not a double action system. The MilKor 6-shooter is though. I don't know anything about the 37mm or 12ga adapter though, so can't help you there.

There isn't one. It's cocked when you close the tube onto the receiver.

This. It's definitely not an M203. It does look similar, but that's probably intentional.

I put in a Lone Wolf 3.5 connector and a Glockworx Competition Trigger Spring. I checked the trigger pull and it dropped by about 1lb, though I didn't notice a change in how crisp or spongy it is. I also haven't been able to get to the range yet to test it out.

I see what you're saying now. If the safety/decocker is on and you slowly drop the slide, what happens is the safety gets hung up on the sear and sits there instead of disengaging it. In this state, since the safety is on, the firing pin block has rotated out of line which will not allow the hammer to contact the firing pin, so while you pull the trigger and the hammer falls, it will not actually fire. That is the purpose of the safety. Also, if you lightly nudge the back of the slide it will drop the hammer and fully close. Although I am confident of this, I agree that I would not try that with ammo in your house.

Hackettstown Guns & Ammo is $40+tax. I've used them twice with no problems.
