    Not markers, guns!

    I know there are some firearm enthusiasts lurking about, tell me about what you've been firing off lately!

    I am itching to pick up something again, but like always I don't want to spend much. Been eyeing finally getting a glock 43 for the fun of it. I generally carry a Taurus 38 snub, but having a little glock wouldn't be a bad thing. The only other comparable small gun I've owned and carried was a ruger ec9s. It was easily carried and concealed, but I wasn't comfortable shooting it for beans. No clue why, but that's okay! Plenty of others to try out.

    Not much of a fan of the striker fired system. Tried several glocks. Didn't care for them. Picked up one of the Steyr pistols thinking I would like it. Not really. It is ok at best. The triggers feel mushy to me. Cannot easily tell when they will break. I do like the sights on the Steyr.

    Personally I am a fan of the 5.7 x 28 round. Love the FN FiveseveN. Recently picked up an AR that uses the FiveseveN mags. Nice to be able to switch mags between my pistol and rifle.

      1911's for me, simple, easy to maintain and work on myself.

          I have two .45's. One is an XD-S with the 4" barrel. The other is a 1911 Sig Scorpion. Both shoot tight groups.

              This. It's on the list, but I gotta want to spend the money and I'm not there yet.

                I'm there but I'm not going to pay retail for one.

                  Exactly this. I dont like striker systems. And I just cant stand polymer framed firearms. The triggers are ALWAYS mushy. I shot pretty much HK (USP/P30) exclusively for many years. I moved back to a Beretta (M9A3) recently. And have never been happier.

                    That's the one Jet Li dismantled in a split second in Lethal Weapon 4 .

                      Try the FN guns. I find they are nicely crisp

                          I know its a 93FS but that was a few years ago too.

                            Also, the pistol was purposely set up to be able to do that trick, as the disassembly pin was move/removed...

                            Nice try allan.

                              The disassembly lever was already turned down but it is an entirely possible move.

                              Could it be done before the weapon could be discharged, well thats the $64 dollar question, and likely why this was changed in later models.
