Does anyone here own a 9mm Beretta?

Do what snipers do in the SWAT. They practice mainly on their cold shot(First shot) because it is the one most importain.

Re: 9mm Beretta action

BTW, when I was firing the 9mm I found that the first round fired after loading a fresh mag was always high. The recoil seemed greater. My subsequent shots were always more accurate.

That means that my 1st shot (arguably most important) against a real-life target might be a miss. How do I fix this?

THAT IS BECAUSE ON THE FIRST SHOT YOU ARE PULLING THE TRIGGER ITS FULL PULL AND ANTICIPATING THE SHOT. ON THE FOLOWING SHOTS YOU USE THE TRIGGER RESET AND BARELY EVEN NEED TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

Interesting. Then to be good at a cold shot I would have to train with 1-round magazines. I think I'd be better off getting the first shot off quickly and fire subsequent shots that are well-aimed. I won't go into battle with a 1-round mag.

Mossad assasination teams opt for the Beretta .22 Jetfire.

They obviously have them modified because I always had jamming problems with mine. Rarely shoot it anymore.

I just discovered in my safe a Colt Combat Commander in stainless with night sights, beveled magazine well and contoured safety. I freakin forgot I had bought this gun from a SWAT officer years ago.

Kinda like putting on an old jacket and finding money you forgot you put there. heheheheheheh

Well guess what I'm taking to the range today?

You must have quite the collection to have forgotten about that weapon. What else do you have? My second choice after the Beretta would be an AR-15 rifle.

I like my 9MM Beretta......Its easy to handle and I can't really destroy some shit.......great in target practice and popping off a snakes head.....

so you're set on a beretta.


if you are willing to buy a used one (they sell new ones too) www.auctionarms.com has them. $400-600. they usually sell for about $500 new, $450 used.

however, if you buy a gun on the internet, you need to add about $40 to the price. $15 in shipping & $25 in transfer fees to transfer it to an FFL holder.


how can the army afford berettas? the special purpose shotgun is the shotgun of choice for all military branches and it is the cheapest one on the market. $160 new.

Beretta 9 is a fine weapon. I also like the 1911--its a classic and it served American well since the early part of the century. Its an old old design but still its one of the best

I prefer the 45acp for its mass. A slow moving bus that hits you like a tank. I also, prefer the 230 gold dot (speer lawman) I like the 9mm too. The best insurance though is to fire two to the body and one to the head always. Also, never stop shooting till the threat is neutralized.

PS. Balistic gelatin tests are a joke and never accurately simulate real world. They just make for great pictures.

Yeah but the stuff is pretty good with whipped cream and mixed fruit!
