Thats what all the air soft guys say

@Rushy…..yeah mate …Beretta took a bit of a beating a few years back re:quality control….not sure it was founded ,I have the Beretta model 96 Brigadier .40 cal…..no issues whatsoever,……the trigger pull issue,I think they come out standard at around 4-7lbs(maybe)….I believe there is a trigger upgrade that many have used……PM if you decide to go down that road…..shoot straight my man,….

It feels heavier than trivets on a couple of Glocks I have so I am guessing it is somewhere around 6,5 pounds. It won’t take me long to put enough rounds through it to know whether it will improve so I will leave the decision re upgrade for now. Are you still up this way?

Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer milled to moulded. I just can't bring myself to buying a gun with a plastic frame. The new manufacturing techniques are only producing guns that are almost as good as the conventional 'milled from forgings' variety, but how good will they still be in a few years time (compared to several well-used guns I own that are well over 100 years old and still in good working order).

I don’t think you are old fashioned at all. We all have preferences. I have several polymer lower, striker fire pistols some with a fairly high round count and I have never had a problem with any of them and the way they perform I don’t expect to have any problems. That said the pistol that I like most has a metal lower and is hammer fire.

I just watched two restorations on fire-damaged P38's (Youtube ) there will never be a fire-vid on a plastic-pistol resto..( I understand their Place in things , just Not my place ) Each to their own , Wood and Blue all the way for me

Yeah mate.. I’m like you, can’t force myself to buy a Glock or other polymer handgun..BUT … I have mates in law enforcement,etc,and both my boys…. They love them and swear by them..I’ve shot the clocks,the last one I had ,that I carried on the airplane as part of that programme,a Glock 19,was a beautiful piece to handle and shoot…… still won’t buy one!!

Very nice

Very nice "toy", my man! And as my bro-in-law (future Bishop of Auckland) said to my wife" "The Lord sayeth... a man cannot have too many firearms, too much firewood, or too many gun books. Amen". Thank you God, for delivering this man to my family!
