Guns: A Necessity in Today's Society?

[foresterx]

Hmmm... rental guns are a good representation of how reliable a gun is IMHO since they've been put through a lot of rounds.

in the philippines not so much. like i said they rarely have good rental guns since it's too expensive for them. so usually it's either armscor or norinco both priced at around 10-15k which are also pretty reliable, but it's no where near the level of glock/sig/hk. an austrian glock in the philippines cost 55-65k and when it returns in stock on gun stores sigurado less than a week ubos, while usa made glocks cost 45k ubusan din.

Anyone who has had extensive experience with a Beretta 92FS?

I figure I'd need a 2nd gun (and possibly even a 3rd) hidden in another part of the house.

i do, my dad has a 92fs inox that i used to carry when i first went back in the philippines. he had it since it first came out in the philippines in the 90's and till this day no rust and fires everything you feed it even buntis reloads. it's a great reliable gun yon nga lang too bulky to conceal and you need to get used to the safety. trigger pull was actually pretty good maybe frenchtower fired a d/a only 92fs? yung mga na subukan ko kasi d/a s/a yung trigger kaya ok naman and once it's at s/a very smooth na yung trigger pull.

^ Thanks for that.

I don't know... I just find the 92FS ***y and intimidating at the same time. I guess it had to do with it showing up in a lot of films and TV shows. The last time I saw it in was in White House Down (it's the side arm of the character played by James Woods). Though, it didn't appear to be included in the list here: Beretta 92 pistol series - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games

anyway dadami na at mag mumura pa yung 92fs sa black market since papalitan na ng glock17 ang issue sa pnp natin.:bwahaha:

1. Yup. You can go to a range that rents out guns and try out. No license required. 2. You need PTCFOR or PTT to take your piece to a firing range. Others join gun clubs to make all these requirements a bit easy to acquire.

thanks frenchtower!

Planning to buy nang gun para sa wife ko... Ano kaya maganda para sa babae. 5'2 ang height medyo small built sya.

Pwede ba sa kanya automatic na.

[miLes]

go with the m&p9! in my opinion one of the best pistols available right now next to an hk,glock and sig.

there aren't really that many ranges in the philippines that has a rental gun and even if they have a rental gun most of the time you don't have many choices available. pinaka maganda ata na nakita ko sa range na baril na pinapa gamit nila glock 17, madalas armscor or norinco lang meron sila. anyway no need for a ptc but ptt is required for both gun and ammo kaya karamihan iniiwan na lang yung reload na bala nila sa range.

i guess this cinches it! m&p it is! hope its not too expensive, around 560usd sa website ng s&w. in your experience, are us prices similar to phil pricing?
will be dropping by this coming gunshow in smx

ano ba kukunin mo pistol or rifle? a 9mm will do for pistol and 5.56 for rifle ok na din. for 9mm para pwede na din gamitin for self defense not just the range tapos 5.56 a 14"-16" m4/16 will do since mga 5.56 rifle di naman ganon kalakas ang recoil unless sbr.

double to quadruple actually. m&p 9 i think is around 50-70k tapos plus license pa. call lock and load gun store kahit kasi di gunshow ang presyo nila presyong gunshow na.
