Does anybody own one of these? Can someone explain to me what the hell "triple action" is or why you would want it over the double or single action this service handgun already has? I must have watched a dozen videos on this gun and while people soyjak over how good le triple action is, nobody can explain why it's such a good idea.... that literally no other pistol in existence has this triple action crap.

There was a 1911 and Hi-power mod that allowed the hammer to be down while cocked and locked. it would only spring backwards to the firing position when the safety was flicked off. was supposed to make it impossible for the gun to fire if the hammer sears failed. can't go off half cocked if its not cocked (but it is). also makes it less snag prone and possibly more comfortable to carry. "Fast Safety System"

The Glock 19/17 fit "bitch" hands just fine, and for that matter, new Beretta 92's with the "Vertec" grip (straight) fit "bitch hands" very well, too, especially if you use the trigger that was also designed with it that has a shorter reach.

If we want to be "old school" about it, the Hi-Power grip also tends to fit "bitch hands", too, along with the CZ75.

Now that I think about it, the original Beretta 92 grip is fatter than a USP 45, and about as fat as my FNX, which kinda makes them an outlier for 9mm pistols, imho.

Glocks have horrific ergos



Club Sandwich said:
the S&W M&P line, derived from the Sigma more or less, is very popular and are about $100 cheaper for the LE package compared to the Glock blue label and comparable for price at retail (S&W M&P 9mm full size is around $520, and a Glock 17 is closer to $550). the CZ-USA P10 has been made in the US for quite a while (import ones say made in Czech Republic and have a Kansas City rollmark) and is in the $400 range.

people do buy them, and they're often cheaper as well or very similar in price with CZ P10 having a price advantage. they do not have mind share though, as you demonstrate. also it's quite easier to find Glock LEO trade ins than the M&P which dump the price significantly if you want to include used guns.

The M&P is usually sold for a good deal less than MSRP all day online. Not so much for Glocks.

Club Sandwich said:
there's been some internal messages to distributors and service centers. i can't comment on specifics, but i will say that the P10 will hit $350 or under about a month prior to release of the new model. same mag compatibility though high cap mags might need a base plate swap.

Sweet 😎 now if CZ would just make a P10 with a safety....

Yours Truly 2095 said:
Thank God. Also the 17 rounders use the same spring as the 15s which I just decided not to mess with them much. It would be nice if the new model has 17 flush fit. The P10 for $350 optics ready is an insane deal. The trigger to me is perfect for a carry. No grit. Solid wall. Not much travel. Not too light. Love it

CZ makes some slept on pistols.

I never understood the whole Glock clone market, myself. Without diving dick first into politics, the Glock 80% kits were always going to sell like crazy for 101 reasons. Everybody else trying to build a better mousetrap or a slightly cheaper mousetrap imho never made it worth the $$$ instead of just buying a real Glock with decades of factory based fine tuning since day 1. I find everything they aesthetically did after Gen 2 pretty pointless. Besides a rail for light and ambi mag release for the lefties nothing really was accomplished imho. Adjustable backstrap? Really? Adding another part to a utilitarian service pistol? Yeah, no thanks

Because the Glock clones let you have a Glock with better ergos and features from the factory for the same or less money.

Also, the US military is still buying M4s


I cannot WAIT for the M7 to get shit canned

That might have been what I was talking about. I only ever saw one HP with it and it was over twenty years ago, and admittedly my longterm memory has dulled in my old age. I don't think FN offered that variant for very long.
 
Club Sandwich said:
i still have one when they were imported for a short time as surplus K5's in the 90's.

Do you seriously own like triple digit firearms? No shade at all, just that even the stuff that seems wildly obscure you seem to have one or two of.

Had no clue Benelli made rifles. Rather interesting aesthetic with their shotgun grip/stock.

Heck yes they do. Especially their polymer stuff (which I say as someone who owns exactly none of those).
 
Yours Truly 2095 said:
I'd love to try a P07 since it takes P10c mags and is a DA/SA gun. Never got around to it.

You'll hate it.
If you do end up with one just send it here and I'll handle it.
 
WhatInTheActualFuck said:
I have to ask...

Why? It's a striker gun with a trigger dingus.
Click to expand...

Because I like them and S&W offers it as does FN.



Club Sandwich said:
enough to have dedicated security and storage by a very large margin. i'm probably at the point of being able to fire a different gun in each hand every day of a year and have no repeats.

🥲 Awesome.

I know someone with 150+ and you're DOUBLE that easily.... Wow.

Also, you got a SPAS-12????
 
TerminalTryHard said:
Especially the new nocturne 09c, with the all the upgrades.

Just horrible

Damn thats a relief to hear they totally absolutely suck. My brain already has issues enough with really wanting unnecessary guns when I should be getting something practical like lights or optics for another, I definitely won't be looking for one to handle at a gun shop anytime soon. I had no idea they made a P09 compact with all these upgrades from the factory. And for only $579 MSRP.
 
Club Sandwich said:
yes, a 18" LE barrel with folding stock through FIE bought in the mid-90's, although i do not have the rare AR-15 style stock or the shot diverter sadly. i use delrin buffers to keep it in shooting order since those are easy to get. i do not have the desirable SPAS-15 though :(
Click to expand...
Impressive. How about something more rare, a Walther MPL?
 
Romulus augustulus said:
its a after market mod you can install your self. still being sold. expensive though.

The one I saw was an FN factory variant. I only ever saw it once at one of my local bang shops back in the very early Augts. It was there for maybe a month or two, got bought, and I never saw another one ever again. It was pretty cool, but if I ever got an HP I'd want just the good ol' fashioned Single Action as Saint Browning intended since I really like Single Action autos.

Yeah it does even come with a wireless trigger like the 320

One day, brother. We need kiwi callsigns so I don't get smoked by one of you during.......The Collapse.
 
9th Circuit has ruled California's standard-capacity magazine ban as constitutional, because magazines are "accessories" or some daft shit. Hopefully this ups the likelihood of it getting to SCOTUS.

In an uncommon occurance, patriot judge Lawrence VanDyke has produced a video as supplement to his dissent.

Guess you should have picked up some of the Kiwi patches during whichever merch run that was.
