Firearms
All politics aside, just wondering if there are other SVX fans who also own firearms? I have a conceal-carry permit here in VA, and my carry weapon is a Bersa .45 compact. Also carry a two-mag pouch on the other hip, spend time regularly at the range, retired military, so I'm good to go. Also have a Walther P-38, Bersa 9mm, S&W Governor, CETME .308 tactical rifle, Remington 700 in .308, Mossberg 590 SPX shotgun, and just got this beauty:
This is a UTAS XTR 12-gauge, semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. Comes with the collapsible stock. Added the breeching flash suppressor, tactical light (400 lumens), forward grip and rail, Magpul front and rear flip-down sights, and a red-dot reflex optic. Haven't taken it to the range yet, but I'm expecting it to be a fun, but brutal rifle to shoot (it takes 3" shells).

Re: Firearms
I carry an H&K P30 9mil. It's too cold to go the range between October and April, so I basically just carry it so that I am aware of where it is at all times.
There has been something of a crime wave around here lately, too. I hate to use the "bad guys" defense for why I carry but one of my friends was ambushed in a park last year and killed, and a former associate committed murder in cold blood, so this is kind of my reality in this town. My friend is bugging me to do a rifle build with him this spring but I'm not sure yet if I want to make this a hobby.

Enough from the soapbox, 9mm is a good choice, with the right kind of ammo and hits on target. I also have a full-frame 9mm, keep it loaded with 15 round mag, with alternating ball and hollow-point rounds, and have three more mags for it loaded the same way. I keep all hollow-points in my .45 mags when I'm carrying, with one ball round in the chamber.

Re: Firearms
Keeping it simple. Home defense only.
Beretta 92FS LaserMax green laser, guide rod mount (replacing factory guide rod/spring assembly) Save ammo for a different thread. Have some G2 Research RIP 92 gr. hollow-points. Commenting on this ammo, a federal law enforcement friend of mine said, for self-defense, there is a definite legal distinction between stopping and attacker and blatantly intending to kill him ahead of time. But in a home invasion, as long as he is within the confines of your house and a lethal threat, you are probably fine. .

Re: Firearms
Everyone in Wyoming owns firearms. Most for hunting but it's not a safe place for criminals.
Your new toy looks to be way too much fun and now I'm shopping again. |

Re: Firearms
My first firearm that I got in VA was a Bersa .380 Thunder, what a great pistol, VERY similar to a Walther PPS (i.e. the James Bond pistol)! Reminded me of features of the Beretta 92F that I had to qualify with in the military (3-dot sights, safety, decocking function, etc). With the pinkie extension on the mags, they fit my hand perfectly, and being a .380, was very easy to carry concealed. Easy to break down for cleaning, shot fairly well, didn't care for ANY kind of Russian-made ammo though (would have numerous FTEs/FTFs per box).

Re: Firearms
I carry a LC9 and have lots of other hand guns. I have a S&W Governor as well. I have more .40 than any other calibers.
