Title: the Beretta I want a chance to shoot - not affordable
Post by: tomuncommon on July 23, 2013, 09:28:48 PM

this auto-pistol would be a literal blast to fire - only a few out there & +$25k (http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag85/tomuncommon_pb/108a_zps6ed0f5a1.jpg) (http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/tomuncommon_pb/media/108a_zps6ed0f5a1.jpg.html)
the Nossar holster shown is quite nice as well, have not been able to reach that maker...

Mac10!  Get out of here :)

I've had Macs (semis), they're like, made in your neighbor's garage.

Now, the Beretta 93R is a MACHINE! A piece of Art.

I was fortunate enough to coonfinger one that a friend of mine owns in a distant land far away.  It was late at night in the city, so I did not get to shoot it.  I was going absolutely nuts.

They are select fire for single or 3 round bursts.  A shoulder stock can be added, though I have never seen one.

Most people think you just wrap your weak hand around the fold down grip and go to town.  But that is not entirely true.  It you notice, the trigger gaurd is almost double in size.  That is so you can wrap your weak Thumb through the trigger gaurd as you grip the fold down grip.  This  enhances the guns stability greatly.

I've been lusting for this gun since I first held it 20 years ago.

Truly Awesome.  Even if you DON'T like the 92.

Awesome pistol.  I still use this image as a cover photo on my Facebook page.

Not a good CCW option IMHO.  Stick to the R9?   ;)

I cannot imagine concealing anything larger than my R9..

the Glock 36 was my CW of choice for years .. now it seems to be a giant.

still LOVE my LWS 380 & have another coming soon  :)

I will be sticking with Rohrbaugh & Seecamp ,, although..

I would like to try the Boberg too (not going to buy before I try like I did my R9)

..the next "full-size" firearm I buy will be an HK squeezer - probably only
going to be able to carry that gun in winter via shoulder holster though.

Tom:

I find the P7 to be easily concealable and comfortable to carry IWB in this DelFatti ISP 4 holster:

Tom,
I love my R9, have another arriving tomorrow, carry one of my LWS .32's when dressed to require a smaller weapon, but whenever possible I follow Ayoob's (and others) advice and carry as big as possible...usually my Kimber Ultra CDPII .45.  I have the Boberg shorty and the newer full size XR9L in 9mm+P and really enjoy shooting them, but frankly even the shorty is not a pocket pistol, and my Kimber carries on the waist about as well.  I tried the P7 and it just didn't fit my hand or eye, but many love it (including RichardS here who carries it a lot)...just find the right holster and wear your choice with the right clothes.  The problem with being blessed with too many fine pistols is in deciding which to carry and practice regularly to avoid the confusion of multiple less than familiar CCW's that might slow reaction time in a stressful situation.

Thanks John, yes agreed  :)

Speaking of holsters, do you get much use out of the LP you have ?  ;)


I would like to see pictures if your Arse ..haha . Phonetic for R9(s) plural
..meaning when the new gun comes, lemme see the "litter"

Haven't shot much with the XR9L...not much range time recently for me.  It shoots beautifully and has minimal recoil, as advertised.  I'll get some pics out in a few days.
