Man, I think I seriously have BRD!!!

I'm way over here on the right coast, south carolina. 

The FLGR gives the 4.25 length some interesting characteristics.  There is absolutely no muzzle flip but it makes up for it with straight back kick.  It's pretty nice for double taps, but it's a bit different than a stock government length.

[cstilt]

I can already tell I'm going to have to pick up at 1911....

[bettingpython]

The things I dislike about a FLGR is the field strip procedure, the loss of ability to do a press check and loss of the onehanded charge from an empty chamber.

[spc]

All very true. I guess its just a matter of preferences.   I'm really enjoying the complete lack of muzzle flipp. I can empty a mag rapid fire into a dinner plate sized target at 50 feet.

As for the one hand charge from an empty chamber, in my next Wilson order I think I'm going to pick up one of their tactical boot sights.  The machine a lip into the non facing surface allowing you to catch the rear sight on a table or..........boot to rack the slide.

That order is going to be pretty soon.   I'm rebuilding a GI spec for a friend.  Poor thing is a basket case, it almost looks like some moron thought he'd be slick and make it into a full auto.  the friggin sear is BENT, I'm still a little puzzled by that. It has to have happened when the sear was outside of the frame, I just can't imagine what would cause that kind of force and not bend the retaining pins first.  But the hammer hooks look like someone was trying to do a home trigger job and didn't have the right tools, I'd guess 100grit was used on 'em.

I bought a 9mm TA90 basically it's a CZ75 with a slide safety instead of  a frame safety, I'll be darned if that 9mm doesn't have more flip than my 1911, shot a buddies m&p 9mm yesterday as well and same thing. It's odd that the .45acp is a more controlable round in a 1911 platform than the wunder nines, my wife shot the same pistols back to back with her springfield commander as a comparison gun and came to the same conclusion.

[spc]

When I had my G26 it had noticeably more flip than any 1911 I've fired.  I'm not sure what it is about the 9mm round that likes to produce muzzle flip, but the only gun I've fired that didn't have that characteristic is an H&K P7 and that little thing makes up for it in kick. 

I took the CCC out Saturday and ran several varieties of ammo through it without a failure, including some low power SWC's.  At the 30ft line I could empty mags all day as fast as I could pull the trigger into a 5" circle. 

[spc]

Hmmmm....... might be trading the CCC for a PSP...............Dunno, I'm still thinking it over..............

[yamahonkawazuki]

psp?

[spc]

H&K P7 PSP.

[spc]

Meh, keeping the 1911 and buying the PSP.  One can never have to many guns

Eh some on the left would disagree lol, hehe the NRA nominated the president as salesman of the month lol. i still want several guns, 1 a desert eagle.50, an ar50 ( again), a small glock to carry ( ccw) am acquiring in trade a keltec slim 9mm to carry, maybe gettign rid of my pt22 idk tho

[cstilt]

Those DE 50s are something else. I rented on in Knoxville a while back.  Decided I'd never own one after that. It was accurate and fairly controlable, but just not for me.

I'm mainly wanting to get a small pistol for CCW, still deciding on what kind I want for that.

Also thinking of something in a heavy bbl (243 or 22-250) for varmint shooting and a little coyote hunting. Although it seems that TN's regs make it hard to hunt coyotes here unlike WV who says go get them all whenever you can.

And I'll 2nd all the comments about 9's being flippy. My CZ certainly is.

[spc]

If you're looking for something small, smaller than an Officer model 1911?, the Micro Eagle is an attractive looking piece and supposedly very reliable.  On the other end, for about half the price you can get a SCCY 9mm that's also supposed to be very reliable and has the added benefit of being rated to NATO 9mm which is roughly equivalent to +P++.  There's some +P++ 9mm out there with ballistics approaching .357mag levels.

[spc]

DaMmit! The guy with the p7 decided he was going to keep it. On the bright side. I was drifting through a hop and snagged a minty p9s for dirt cheap

New German Toy!!!  For those of you not familiar with Heckler and Koch's earlier designs:  The P9S is a DA/SA, Roller delayed blowback, fixed barrel, single stack magazine-fed, full size handgun.  It was particularly useful in SO circles due to the ease in silencing/suppressing (thread the barrel and twist it on, no modifications to the recoil system like are necessary on many other handguns) and incredible accuracy.  It's reported that the weapon can hold an 8" shot group at 100yds and at 7m a fairly decent shot can produce very tight groups.
The box (original and matching)

Opened (came with 2 magazines and factory target)

Factory target group at 25m, the first 3 rounds ever through this weapon

Bersa Thunder (Ultra Compact) .45
