Thread: Handguns that Fit

That doesn't surprise me about the Fed thinking that's a short barreled rifle when the stock is attached.

Is yours an Inglis? My old Nazi had the old style extractor. Yours has the new and improved version that came in sometime in the 50's I think

Not sure how long a range you'd get from that cartridge coming out of that barrel length. Doubt it would a lot left after a couple hundred yards and I imagine the trajectory would look like a rainbow at that distance.

I've shot 9MM Steyr and .38 Super stuff at junk a couple of hundred yards out, but those cartridges are considerably hotter than the 9x19/Parabellum.

It would be fun to play with anyway.

I see now that yours is an FN. Nice pistola!

Yes it is an FN and a modern one made in the '80s. Here is an advert that a guy posted in a Gunbroker listing he had for one at a ridiculous price. Seeing the ad I called Vector Arms on the outside chance they still had one and they did. Got it at a reasonable price. Note it has the ambidextrous safety. Not my favorite thing but that is progress.

I missed the ambi safety, that front sight was throwing me. LOL

It just wasn't looking quite the way I remembered them looking.

Nice piece anyway, just checked the web and those things are still bringing some serious change.

I still think 500 yds/mtrs is wishful thinking.

Best I recall, I never even raised the rear sight on my old tangent. Shot it quite a bit. Was fun to get both of them going from the hip and roll a can out of sight. For some reason, I can shoot those things from the hip better than any pistol I've ever tried that trick with. I used to burn a couple of hundred rounds a week "back in the day". Been a while since I've burned any thanks to the ammo shortages.

I love my Colt 1911, I love my big S&W .357 wheelguns, but my daily carry is a Glock 26.

Sister-in-law has the same thing, just in the purple-esque, gaseous-like finish(can't think of the name). Nice shooter. Solid performance. I, too, am not a fan of the .380. Too much snap with questionable results. Just my opinion. I favor the .40. IMO, the zip of a 9 with the stop of a 45.

I'm a believer that any firearm I own or want to consider owning, must be confortable to my hand. There are many that fit that category, so I go with a few favs. Glock G23, HK P7M8,,, Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 7.5" stainless with Hogues...

Great thread, btw.

My buddy likes it and it is his money, but aside from the grip safety, which I don't like either, unless the trigger could be re-worked I'd never be happy with that pistol.

Little flitz and a dremel can get you there.
