Not pistols; vehicles. Again, serious question. I believe that answer was perfection (no pun intended) the first time. No more info needed.

This issue USAR M9 has had 20,000+ rounds of M882 ball through it. Used as an instruction/demo gun by Service Pistol Team members, it has the original barrel, locking block and slide and hasn't malfunctioned (yet). Bob

There is nothing wrong with the Beretta. I would have bought one when I started law enforcement, but I wanted a .45. So Glock it was, back in '95 there wasn't many options in a good semi.
Believe or not, one of the instructors frowned on 1911's, because they where single actions with lighter triggers. Now before y'all get pizzy about that remember there were lots of females and non shooters in the bunch. They also claimed the 1911 wasn't as reliable with some hollow points in their opinion.
The only other auto I had experience with was a 459 S&W. I didn't like it much. Creepy trigger, just the general feel of it.
Colt had the Double Eagle, but they were hard to find and more expensive. Same with Browning autos and again a 9 mm.
So I started with Glocks and stayed with them.

Same year I started, and you are right. The options were limited back then. My first semi-auto was a Smith 1076. Carried that one for about 8 years before getting a G35.

I will not argue that the 92 is a bad pistol, it is just my opinion that something like a Glock action, or M&P or Croatian Sprungfield action etc. is a better choice. Even the poor old 1911 shoots the same way each trigger pull! This is just my poor way of thinking and as is well known I am not a pistoleros or a double naught spy.

Imo, if you shoot a da/sa roughly the same amount of rounds that you would a striker fired gun...say in a typical weekend training class you won't even remember why you supposedly couldn't shoot a Da/Sa

That's my opinion on the matter, too. You can train to the transition, of course, but better to avoid the issue completely where possible.

You know, I started this thread just to share something I found interesting...Didn't realize the Glock dudes would be so offended that there's another pistol somewhere in the world that is made with quality.
