    I don't think anything is really wrong with them, but not ideal for CCW (size and weight) and I personally dislike DA/SA guns.

    There are of course much worse guns out there.

    Gotcha. I assumed that where the comment was going, as I've yet to see any sort of validated complaints about the M9/92, aside from its size. I'd be using it for a secondary on carbine courses, so duly noted.

    Just for the personal knowledge, what about HK's in general? Any comments about carrying them? I'm about to get my carry license in June and I've been looking at HK for a CCW. Any specific models to lean towards?

    Sorry for the off-topic nature of my question; this thread just seems to have a lot of good info.

    I like a lot of HK pistols. I personally carry an HK P7M8 for CCW. The P30 and 45's are very good weapons as well.

    I just bought a Beretta 90-Two in .40, which I am very happy with so far. However living in NJ, there was no CCW consideration involved.

    Yes, they are a full sized handgun, but some seem to complain about the ergonomics also. As a person with larger hands, I find the gun very comfortable to shoot.

    Regarding the DA/SA and external safety issue, maybe I am just too accustomed to such platforms because personally I am fine with both.

    Another thing I fear is getting into a situation like a traffic stop and being disarmed by an officer for his "safety" and end up getting my dick blown off because he doesn't know wtf he's doing
    Not a very likely prospect. Despite the misinformation superhighway most street cops are very familier with all manner of firearms and spend a significant time training. You should spend some time getting good training instead of buying more pistols. I suspect you will be looking at new pistols after some good training anyway

    I think that the 92 would be a very viable choice for your needs. I have medium sized hands, but always enjoyed shooting them and never had a problem making quals. It sounds like you intend to use it for exactly what it was made for. I would check out the M9A1 if you can find one.

    I got a bad ass tip yesterday about when the local wal marts get supplied with ammo.

    Today was one of the days so I hit up 3 wal marts this morning.

    Tons and tons of ammo, NO 45ACP AT ALL.

    I regret buying a 45.

    I saw 9mm federal going for 20 cents a round.


    20 cents....

    20 cents....

    20 cents....

    Here you go Kal, these guys are great. No, it's not $.20 per, but they are fairly decent prices considering to the current market.

    Also, they will have it to you very quickly and all 3 brands shown are in stock. Just a humble suggestion.

    Or you can do better per round here if you want volume, seems like he has 2 types in stock.

    The de-cocker/safety whateverthe****itreallyis is just in the wrong place. Snags on everything, and turns on and off seemingly at random. Not acceptable in a serious weapon, imo.

    And, oh yeah, it serves no real and necessary purpose. Kind of the appendix of the handgun world.

    safetyhit, both sites are inferior to wal mart.

    I get wal mart 45 for pretty much 33 cents a round, $16 box.

    Seriously, how the hell does wal mart make money?
