Back to the subject at hand-Anyone have an informed opinion of the 9000s purely ito a sd fa?

I did advise my mate to get a glock 19 or M&P 9mm but he is totally new to firearms and wants the 'comfort' of an external manual safety.

Luckily for him, the M&P9 comes with just such an option... Can't for the life of me see the need for it (and I'm a manual safety man), but S&W do have this option.

Putting a manual safety on a GLOCK is like buying a brand new Merc SL65AMG and paying some schmuck to weld on a useless clutch pedal to it.

That said,I am quite sure that the US Military still issues the 92 in the form of the M9 to its troops.

The US Military went to M9 Berettas because they wanted a disposable pistol. The last 1911's built were in the 40's and all had been rebuilt scores of times, and were deemed to be too old and unreliable. The M9's could be used til they were worn out, discarded and replaced with a new one. They were cheap ($134ea) and reliable. But run a 92fs hard for 10,000-12,000rds and you will notice reliability issues as the gun goes out of spec.

The 92fs is a great shooting, cool looking pistol, but it is not made for a lifetime of regular use. For that, get a Glock, or even an M&P 9.

And, BTW, the gun that won the US Military trials was the Sig/Sauer P226 (Ugh) but they were demonstrably more money (3x) and Sig/Sauer refused to build a manufacturing plant in the US.

doesnt the PX4 also have issues with the rotating bolt getting stuck, and ppl having to hit it back/right with a rubber/wooden mallet?
