Sweeney Todd

I recently picked up a FNP M 9mm for another conceal piece and to shoot some 9mm at the range and was talking to the shop owner. He said most people don't know much about FNH as a firearms company and even less about them as a pistol manufacture. The FNP/FNX are great guns at a great price. I have seen more posted in hear about Hi Point, Sigmas, Rugers and Taurus than FNs. IDK and think we have become. Commodity driven or slaves to marketing.

Its in great shape, clean gun. It has to be a 90 % to 95% . I just want to get a diiferant rifle. I am thinking about 800.00 in a personal sale and maybe 750.00 for a friend... What do you all think?

So, are you tacticool or form follows function? I dont use accessory rails on a pistols, feel kinda dumb that my Remington 597 is camo ( but they didnt have a matte black in stock), I dont get GSG 22's or buying spray and pray guns that are semi automatic, like they Tecs, would on put a laser on a firearm for sweep and clears but would prefer a red dot halographic site. HOWEVER, I do own a side folding WASR 10/63, almost bought a Dracco to modify into a SBR ( but to chreap to spend the 200.00) and own many military sporting rifles. Tell the truth, what ave you made TACTICOOL , even if your a form follows function or right weapon fot the right job guy.

For instance, today when I was fishing and caught a 10 lb 24" plus albino catfish in my 1/4 acre pond, I was carring my .380 to shoot big fsh/baby duck eating snapping turtles and invcase of a snake. Wat do you carry and what do you expect to have to use it on? Yes it was 10 lbs, over 2" and albino and I did release it... After the photo op.

What is the current philosophy commonly being taught by weapons instructors, other police academies. NRA, conceal weapons classes, etc? I am an old fart and was taught point and shoot, both eyes open, cup and saucer and a modified weaver stance. BAck then it was new school. but is now old school?!? LOL i know the FBI still uses the shoot me in the vest posture.... Just looking for your opinions, practices and thought it would be intersting and got the idea for the question from one that asked how do you shoot with both eyes open?

I am going to have to carry it as a service piece and I have never been a Glock guy. Are there any issues with the different generations? Any mods that I can get from the department armorer? Whats its drawback (other than not being locked, decocker and one in the pipe)? This isnt a general question and I am looking for imput from people that carry this gun. Is it acceptable for me to reach for my back up piece first and leave the 22 holstered ... LOL

Not the AR platform. This one is geared toward the soldiers. Tell us which one , what you really think about it and a quick review or story. Please put your MOS and service date in the source box. . Please rember to include which model you carried (A1,A2, A3 A4, M4)

Please pick the one that you would choose, the one that you would run away from screaming and the one that surprisingly gets ur attention and why. I have narrowed down my shopping list to these and only these and I am also familiar with all of them. The links are to the guns.

1. Bersa HC 40

2. Taurus 101 40 cal

3. Beretta 90two in 40

4. Taurus 840

5, Springfield XD 40.

And yes I know that this list doesnt have a Glock on it. :)

I mean it. What is it that I am missing about the Glock that has made so many other people fall in love with them? I just dont see or feel it with them. They have a nice smooth action yes, but the mag release and safety is just so small for my bear paws... Seriously, what is IT? WIN ME OVER OR TELL ME WHAT YOU HATE ABOUT THEM?
