Repeating firearms for rimmed cartridges that don't feed from a tube magazine is kind of a tall ask, especially when they didn't really exist when the cartridges did in their heyday.

Making guns do what they're not supposed to is the natural progression of gun knowledge. It's why the SVT-40, .45 ACP/9x19 in revolvers, .44 Magnum, 6mm ARC/.5 Grendel/MAX/Longueschutzenpow exist.

Not sure about as a host, but if you get a 92 get a G model decocker. Don't get the slide mounted safety. It's just bothersome after a while. Decocker only is just the way to go

Ended up with a Px4 G-SD 20250224_105355.jpg

The Px4 shoots really flat, but it didn't like my crappy steel case blazer 115s very much. Every other brand of 9mm I had cycles fine, but the steel cased cheapshit is underpowered in this for some reason. Maybe it just needs a break in.

The Croations are making a new roller delayed pcc for $999

I wonder if the croats can manage to not fuck up a roller delay system, I don't remember that bullpup of theirs having too many QC issues.

I could see this in 40 being compelling since if your PCC isn't full auto you might as well go up from 9mm.

That Hellion rifle was a flaming turd, iirc.

I hope this isn't. Could be like a Stribog but with actual US support.

The hellion is an ergonomic nightmare but I don't remember hearing about mechanical issues with it anyway. Their handguns work well.

I loved the shape but damn does it need that grip tape. It felt slippery and cheap compared to the 92X with grips that will scratch your palm.

Works fine, available during panic buys, guns can sometimes be converted to 9x19(or .357 Sig but fuck that) due to using the same gripframe.

My complaint is that, for two thousand dollars, I would prefer there being a finish on the bolt. For my trash-magdumping guns I want to feel comfortable if I forget to clean them.

Definitely a Nah from me. Modern 9mm defensive ammo is just as, if not more effective, has milder recoil so you can get more shots on target faster, and has a higher magazine capacity. .40 S&W is basically a cartridge designed by committee and offers nothing over 9mm, .45 ACP, or 10mm Auto. I've shot a lot of .40 S&W over the years and really don't like it, and I won't own any firearms chambered for it.

I've been talking about training for pelvic shots for a while now, especially ever since mass shooters have started showing up in body armor. Put a few rounds into someone's pelvic girdle. They're unlikely to bleed out quickly (unless you get lucky), but you'll at least make a mobile threat immobile. With mass shooters in particular, they're usually on a suicide mission, so if they're shot in the pelvis and rendered immobile, they might even take care of the rest for you. Regardless, once someone's on the ground like that, mag dump.

An armored mass shooter isn't a threat anyone's likely to encounter, but dick shots are fun to train for on range days anyway.

The hump 92x grip they came with to put on eats skin from my hands. Mine is a fairly low serial number so maybe they changed the default grip but the hump add on is way stickier. Night and day. I do prefer the straight back normal grip profile but I love the humps stickyness. I need to shoot it more in general. It's been so neglected

for a Beretta 92 series, you will need to fit the rails where the barrel will slide in the frame. even on OEM barrel replacements, they are "semi-drop-in" barrels. a separate issue is the locking block and barrels fitment - these are intended to be fit together and poor fitment between the barrel and locking block can result in cycling failures or even cracking/breakage of the locking block. the locking block is the piece that is modified to fit the barrel, not the other way around. you can also get a new locking block and fit from that with jeweler files paying special mind to the "legs" of the locking block where it interacts with the frame.

typically, if the locking block fits the barrel with no slop and no "sticking" of movement, and there isn't any undue wear or damage, then the locking block can be reused and fitting the barrel's rails is the only thing needed for semi-drop-in aftermarket barrels. you will also want to ensure slide to barrel fit and that it properly locks up without binding - allowing the locking block to raise and lower as expected when the slide is moving.

Found a factory one. One step closer to a samurai edge gts.
