Hopefully ill get some videos or pics from our maiden live fire exercise with the 109s in about 2 weeks time  ;D

In my mind you were flying with restored BF-109s and shooting the MGs.

Today I discovered a new gunshop here in Luxemburg and of course I went in to check out the place. The owner is very friendly and is specialised on collectors and match gun, so the right place for me :D

The he showed me something veeeeery nice


He told me that the US Marines are replacing their Berettas with these. Looks awsome. Dear Santa.....

I cant disagree with them. A .45ACP bullet weights 185 grains on average(not sure what bullets US Marines will use) while a 9mm weights 115 grains. The .45ACP impacts with more joules then the 9mm.

Saw that some time ago, once again coming from the troops on the ground that want to go back to a round that kills more often then maims. There was a bunch of complaining on MP.com about having to go back to the old 7 round mags instead of the 15 of the M9, my question is how much of an issue is this being as its your sidearm?

I don't see that low-cap mag as an issue, since STI has succeeded in making hi-cap double stack .45 mags without making them ridiculously thick or long.

Another reported problem was the Beretta gumming up like crazy in the desert.  Bryan Suits, the infantry soldier-turned-nco-turned-officer who is a radiohost out here spoke about his Berreta being mostly used as a rather good hammer, and that's it.

when you grab a 1911. Pull the hammer. Pull back the slide. Let it all slam forward
 It SOUNDS like a solid, piece of steel that doesnt jam..... It gives you that reliable feeling, the same you get from a G3, a FAL, a M14. A mauser or an enfield...it just "feels" right. And often it is right. A beretta...well...its not a horrible gun..

But i fired at the range a 1911(Thank you Ben!), a luger(thank you again!), FN GP(Hi-power), a glock and a beretta...And if i have to compare the beretta to the other designs.. it simply cannot match it.

  Oh for shit sakes......The 9mm vs .45 debate.



I myself like the 9mm.  More penetration, low recoil, more capacity. 

Even though I own a nice Sig Sauer, a Taurus Beretta rip off, a couple nice .380 guns like a SA PPK clone and a wonderful little pocket pistol as well as a couple .45's.

This is the gun I leave the house with every day..........


I am a piece of shit.

I personally felt more recoil with the Taurus 9mm and the Luger, then with the 1911 in .45ACP... Altough i do have to say the FN GP produces less recoil then the 1911.

Well, J.M. Browning had his "fingerprints" on both designs, and I think when he noticed the recoil on the 1911, he made the necessary changes on the Hi-Power. Actually, IIRC he had to circumvent each and every one of his OWN patents to make the gun.

Correct. Not discussing the two most popular calibers that have been proven through history. So just pick your favorite and you don't have to justify why you like it... we all know it works.

Like the 223 vs 7.62x39. Again, practically the two most popular battle rifle rounds, each has there ups and downs. One is not better than the other.
Don't hate the forum, hate it's users...
