Hell, there's a whole pot full of guns I could get for less than that! Besides, there was a wise
soul right here on rec.boats that yelled at me, " Buy American Made", or words to that effect.

And, S&W is in the middle of their 'With Thanks to our Nation's Finest' program which gets me a $50
rebate on my purchase.

Baretta 92/M9s are made right across the river from you in Accokeek
Md.


I've been there three times in connection with the Beretta shotgun I owned.

snerk Harry gets personal service from Beretta because he owns one!!
But only him, because, as we all know, he's important....


Stop being such an asshole. I had a minor problem with my Beretta
shotgun. I called the plant in Accokeek, which is not that far from
here, and I was told to bring the shotgun in for "adjustment." I left it
there and then came back after lunch. One other time, I had the factory
install a shock absorber system. That kind of service is not unusual for
manufacturers of quality guns. The only unusual part of it was that the
plant was local, and I didn't have to ship the shotgun to a service
center somewhere.

Thanks, good description, makes sense if you want to keep a round in
the chamber. For home defense I prefer an empty chamber.

It drops the hammer safely on a double action semi auto pistol to make
it more like a revolver on the first shot..

Most Glocks and guns that are inspired by them, don't leave the hammer
cocked after each shot and it is always double action.
The thought originally was it was an easier transition for cops that
had a six shooter all their life.



I guess you could call the striker "the hammer," in that they serve a
similar purpose. Still don't much like carry pistols or even defensive
pistols sans safeties or decockers. Even my Ruger 22, which fires rounds
via what might be called a massive moving striker, has a safety.

The assumption is if the striker/hammer is not left cocked after the
last shot, a safety is unnecessary and there is nothing for a de
cocker to decock

Your Ruger (Mk1?) leaves the striker cocked after a shot as did
virtually all SAs before the Glock.

A Glock pulls the striker back and slides a blocking bar out of the
way as you pull the trigger.


It's a Mark III. The problem with leaving the striker uncocked is that
all you have to do with that sort of pistol is pull the trigger to fire
it. Once you rack the slide on a Glock, the pistol will fire when you
pull the trigger and will fire repeatedly. Yes, that is how it is
supposed to work, but...I like the additional step of flicking the
safety off before firing a pistol.

What firearms do you own? I'm thinking of ordering one of these:

=====

Don't know about the Ruger I but the Ruger III has an internal hammer
which is part of the trigger group. It is most definitely left cocked
after a shot, and as far as I know it has no double action mode.

After more talking and looking and holding, I've cancelled the order for the S&W SD9VE and ordered

this one: http://tinyurl.com/aap58hw



Even my wife jumped on the bandwagon after listening to my daughter's father-in-law, who runs

Def-Tac. ( http://defensivetact.com/ ) Even the dealer at Gander Mountain, who describes himself as

an avid shooter, recommended the M&P very highly. So, I should get the firearm in a week or so.
