Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gotta show off my new pistol...... pic heavy of course

It’s a tank all right. All heat treated SS internals is doubtful.

I Didnt say that stainless internals were heat treated

I said heat treated beefed up huge slide rails in the aluminum alloy frame

Won't win any beauty contests but they're hell for stout. Nice find if thats what you're wanting.

I have that exact pistol that bought as a 21 year old college student(1993 I believe). I just order some mec-gar 17 round magazines for it, which are still easily available on line if you look.
For me the stock sights are pretty small compared to “modern “ sights.
Aftermarket sights are hard to come by for the p89 but trijicon does still list 3 dot night sights as available....my slide is there now for installation. I’m excited about bringing my p89 out of retirement, enjoy yours!

Great deal! You stole it !

Gonna have to look for the 17 rd mecgars
Seen the 15 rd ones.
Really would like to find some pinky purchase floor plates and just flip out these flat steel ones.
Seen 20 rd extended plates also.

Lots of LGS in the area have good mag selection.
Probably walked by P89 mags a million times with out a thought.

Get the hogue grip in the morning.
Then cruise around town and see what I can find floor plate or mag wise.

Seen replacement sights on several wrbsites also.

Get out and shoot it 1st and see how it does.
If it's hitting to POA/ POI at 25yds.
It will be GTG.
I got blazer brass 124 gr
Speer 124 gr gold dots ( which I hope are to POA/ POI
And geco 115 gr.

Never realized that movie stuff.

LOL!!!

See how long you can keep yours. 😎



Ammo prices pretty steady.

Was $379

Maybe I dropped a third down w tax looking at the ticket.







Never noticed, looks like Bubba wrote the ticket as a P 85


Mine has some sheeit son, unspeakable scenes

Of underseat carry and neglect 😂

I also have the hogue grips on mine, you’ll like them.

People have been talking about the durability of these model for awhile. Remember this hilarious thread from 2009?

Ah, I see you managed to draw out the HK fanboys with this post.

As an instructor I see my students bring in a lot of different guns. I’ve seen HK’s pistols fail at about the same rate as the other major brands.

You want to know the most reliable auto-pistols I see come through my classes? It’s not any of the HK guns. It’s not even the Glocks. The Ruger centerfire autopistols are the most consistently reliable guns I see. I’ve literally yet to see a student have a malfunction with a Ruger centerfire semi-auto. I can’t say that for any other brand."

There are other mentions of Rugers in the comments but the wife needs help filling out very simple forms "in Engrish".

I gots my eye on an Ed Brown Stainless Cobra Carry 1911... Soon.

Glocks are excellent guns.
Be cool if they could add weight in the polymer frame.
Some type of option the user could have with em????



Used a 22 as a deputy.
Owned a G24 .
Shot 17,s 19,s
Shot a guys 17 with a older laser on it.
Weight forward type of deal
That one actually felt like I had something in my hand.

The Glock grip and me aint never melded muscle memory wise.
For some reason metal frame pistols just seem more able for me to get into grip wise .
I think it is the weight in my hand signal to my brain and the less snappiness I know in my mind i will have in a steel or alloy frame pistol versus a polymer frame pistol

I wonder if glock has ever thought of designing weight features into open areas in their polymer frame.
Especially the larger calibers

Dunnno.


I think some glock models would be awesome with about 10 or 12 oz of weight added in the areas behind and most especially in front of the trigger gaurd.

Perhaps by simply increasing some outside contours on the frame just under the barrel and having added weight in those area,s
Would tame some of the snap outta some of the larger caliber models..



It's all jmo ....


Everyone has their bias and favs on stuff.

Gotta have finger grooves for sure!!!

A true gentleman.
