Precisely. The military will replace those with consummate regularity. We'll be right back to the Pederson vs. Garand quandary. History repeats itself... repeats itself... repeats itself...

Semper Fidelis, brother. Daddy was a Navy Rifle Team/Underwater Demolition Team member (Today, they are S.E.A.L. team members). Some things never change. I am still a part of the "Old Navy". We are "blood until we are dead".

The "topstrap cutting" problem in the Ruger was "self-limiting" from most accounts.

I want to revise my selection. What would be more in keeping with the original idea may be an S&W Model 1907 New Century revolver chambered in the then-new .44 S&W Special cartridge. (The original barrel length of 6 1/2 inches seems appropriate.)

How about the Bersa Compact .45? Cool, and can be had at a reasonable cost.

I failed to mention that the pistol is unfired and would be worth about $330.00 if I had purchased it new. (I saved $130.00). SCORE!

I did a foolish thing. There was a gun on consignment (a "new-in-box" Bersa Thunder .380) at my favorite gun-getting emporium. (Yes, I avoided Sportsman's Warehouse). They wanted $199.00 + $10.00 for the obligatory Oregon State Police Background Check. It came home with me. I AM SO WEAK! I...

The only problem I have is the new .277 Fury has such a high pressure limit that it will batter the rifle into an early rebuild. I understood the Army had abandoned the "long range" rifleman long ago.

Don't worry. In my house, we pray AFTER we eat. :eek::oops:

28 caliber... *yawn*. Go back to the .308 diameter bullet. The 7.62 X 51 was fine.

Well, Pieter, as the old saying goes, "form follows function". What matters to me is the accuracy and effectiveness of the tool. I would rather the tool be "subdued" in its looks. (I'm not into the "billboard" look). But I will live with what I have.

If I could post a picture of it, I would have done so by now. This is the best I can do.

This is a stock photo, but it is accurate. The pistol looks and feels great. For the money, I don't think you'll get a better valus for the dollar spent.

The pistol runs quite well. It is deadly accurate and has quickly become a favorite. (It reminds me of my sainted daddy's 1968 Browning Hi-Power). I like to keep the pistol simple. This is a "fighting pistol," not some "dressed-up" target piece.

I own one and like it quite a bit. It is a "carbon copy" of the Browning Hi-Power Mark III. I am considering having the Magazine safety removed. (This should improve the trigger.)

I have one of these coming in on Wednesday, June 17th. Like the Beretta, it has an aluminum alloy frame. Mine will have the brushed nickel finish on the slide. I hope this will reduce wear. The Argentine police have carried these for decades with good results. They use the same polygonal...

I'm willing to bet I can spend another $575.00 and obtain at least four holsters (for my 2 1911's, Girsan MC P35, Tanfoglio Witness, and Bersa TPR9). These would work with the "Lifeline" shoulder rig and the two offside pouches I already have.

I have a Ted Blocker "Lifelne" rig for my Glock Model 20. Perhaps I can get them to make a custom molded holster to fit the pistol. (They created the "Miami Classic" for Don Johnson in 1984).

My new Bersa TPR9. I don't want much, just a brown rig that won't scuff up the 4.25" slide/barrel.

By all that's good and Holy, the .45 ACP still works. My father was a Boatswain's Mate 1st Class, sailor. Underwater Demolition Team/Navy Rifle Team kept telling me the old 1911s he ran across were generally "clapped out" from constant use. A good 1917 .45 AutoRim/ACP Smith & Wesson revolver...
