Can confirm, I love my P-89 DC. I really need to get it coated though, it's been around a while (serial number was removed digitally):

The first centerfire pistol I ever fired was a Ruger P90, so these get me sentimental. I also like that you have an old school Crimson Trace laser on it. Do you carry this or does it live in a drawer or safe?

It lives in the safe most of the time, but comes to the range nearly every time because it's so much fun to shoot. It also was my first gun, hence all the wear and tear and need to recoat, as it used to be a daily carry many, many years ago. That also explains the old school laser - bought it as soon as I found out about it.

It's a full-size pistol made of steel, so it's a bit heavy for everyday carry these days, and I don't want to mark it up even more. I have a Springfield XDS in 9mm for heavier clothes, and a little bitty Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380 for light clothing (one of the original run with the gray laser button).

I fat fingered the pan mag on a friend's American-180 when it was almost full. .22LR rounds in every direction :(

That's one way to add danger to "spinning plates" I guess.

Obscure full auto. Neat toy, you probably shouldn't kill him with it!

My buddy has a 92FS that I love (but can't bring myself to purchase). I used to have an M4 Super 90, but I ended up selling it once all the 1187- based mag fed shotguns started coming out.

Solid company, but you pay for what you get!

its a crying shame Ruger cancelled the P-series. they were fantastic, rugged, impossible to break and my P-89 had the best trigger on a DA/SA auto that i have ever experienced. its buttery smooth. you can still get them cheap too and often in like new condition. bought mine in 2022 and i'm fairly certain i was the first to fire it.

Rugged but they manage to feel like plastic and metal bricks in the hand.

Their competition S&W DA/SAs are ...... Nicer in every way and just as tough in all stainless steel

First I ever bought (and needed a co sign) was my 97dc. I was twink mode and somehow I cc'd it as a 125lb 5'8" guy at the time. It was like hiding a phone booth.

P series will always be a soft spot for me.

most people don't look for guns at all. Printing is a meme.
 
Can someone please tell me what specific kind of gun this is, and any info about it?

I beg to differ! I'be done frames for the FN FNS, a S&W XD40, and a Glock clone (do not recommend). I've been using carbon fiber impregnated ABS and nothing has exploded on me yet after a few hundred rounds, but the Glock was shit (shit parts, interchangeable generations, just a general mess).

The other kind of printing.
 
If I could have any Beretta it would be a screen accurate, fully functional Auto 9. It wouldn't even have to have the burst-fire feature, I'd be perfectly happy with standard semi-auto. The Auto 9 is one of my favorite sci-fi flick guns, along with the M-56 Smartgun from Aliens. Yes I know the Auto 9 is built from the Bererra 93r, but the Auto 9 just looks so much sexier than a bog standard 93r.

You weren't the only person that feels that way, and if they make reproductions of the fake gun from the Rifleman, I feel like it's only a matter of time. The hobbyists over at DefCAD might have one lying around, they have all sorts of neat stuff.

Looks like an S&W 15/22.
They feel kinds cheap but are actually pretty good.
Lots of utoob material is out there.

I was window shopping into 22lr guns.

That S&W is made of polymer but at least the charging handle works.

Unlike the Mossberg 715T, where the charging handle is fake and it looks like a plastic toy.

There is also the HK 416 chambered for 22lr though I don't know if that is metal or polymer.
