Dang! Another good deal!!! GLWS!!!

This is a great deal here! GLWS!

Well Taurus doesn't really make anything to compete with a Glock, so it really wasn't an issue in my mind. It would be a whole different story if it were S&W, SIG or FNH.

Me too! There's a lot of knowledge there.

WE didn't share the same politics, but I still enjoyed his music with CS&N. He was a very talented musician!

We must be on the same forum. And I post there under the same name.

This actually saddens me. First of all, I hate that Barrett is now owned by a foreign company. Let's face it Australia is not a bastion of 2A rights. So you have to figure that any Australian defense company is going to be toeing the Australian Government line, in order to keep their defense contracts. Second of all, I hate that the Barrett family is no longer in the firearms business. They were one of the few that told California to shove it and they stopped selling their weapons to state and local LE agencies, there. They even went so far as to refuse to service the weapons they'd already sold there. And made the LE agencies actually fly individuals to Tennessee to pick up their weapons. That was clear signal to the state that they were no longer welcome to do business with Barrett. I highly doubt that is going to be the case going forward.

All you PCC guys, here's a new one!!!

I am. Nice one! Congratulations!!!

Neither was I, but suddenly, I've found that I own three of them! How that happened, I have no clue!!! The three I own are a Tisas Fatih (Cheetah clone), a Ruger LCP Max and a Walther PPK/s. The Fatih is my recliner pistol. The LCP Max is my small, discreet carry pistol and the Walther is something to look at and not shoot very often. It's not a fun range toy at all. I'd much rather it be in .32ACP. Then it might be handy.

I'm a fan of Tisas. I own two and both have been excellent guns. I have the BR380 Fatih (Cheetah 84 Clone) and the SDS U.S. Army 1911a1. Glad you are enjoying your new 1911!!!

Here's the link to the new Cheetah. Not a fan. Why do they feel the need to tacticool everything now-a-days? The original Cheetah was a beautiful pistol. The new one is Fugly (note the capital F). I'm okay with the optic cutout, but that rail under the dust cover just sucks. The back of the grip is too straight. There isn't an elegant line on this pistol. Wood grips would have been much nicer, for $800. One thing they did do right, is slim the grip down, though. I also love the dovetailed front sight. For $800, there should be a night sight on it. 80X Cheetah (beretta.com)

So if the barrel is fixed, Wouldn't there be more felt recoil?

I'd buy one, just for the Beretta name, but I will not pay that for it. I can't see me paying that for one either, even for the Beretta name, since I like this Tisas so much. The one thing that the Beretta has that the Tisas Fatih does not have, is a decocker. It's manual safety only, just like the original Beretta 84. That doesn't bother me, but I have already been told by one person, that he wouldn't have it because of that. I cut my teeth shooting 1911a1s and they didn't have a decocker either. I just learned how to lower a hammer, on a live round. Or I drop the mag and eject the live round. But I guess that was hard for him...

If you ever get over to this part of the state, we'll meet up and you can shoot mine! For the money, I think they are had to beat compared to other compact .380s. That being said, it's off the rotation. I rotate between the Max-9 and the LCP Max. Both are lighter and easy to carry.

The P64, is really an almost direct copy of the Walther PP. Classic pistol design! But 9x18 MAK has to kick like a mule in that pistol!!! Call me a whimp, but .380ACP out of my Walther PPK/s is painful after about 2 mags... The commie pistol I'd like to pick up is the Czech VZ50 or VZ70 in .32ACP (both Walther clones). Now that would be a comfortable caliber to shoot in that type of pistol!!!

Used Cheetahs are bring that now. As for MSRP, you can probably count on it being around $100 less, once it hits the stores for a bit. I think Beretta is seeing how successful FN and SA have been with the re-interduction of the Hi-Power name and design and looking to capitalize on the name of the Cheetah. I have a Turkish made clone of the Beretta 84 Cheetah, called the BR380 Fatih. I actually, love shooting this pistol and carried it quite often before I picked up my Ruger MAX-9. Now it resides next to my chair in the living room. I enjoy shooting it far more than my Walther PPK/s, which after a couple of magazines, I find painful to shoot.

The 856 is getting a lot of good reviews and honestly this may be the most innovative thing in revolvers in a long time! I'm watching with a lot of interest. So are the other revolver companies, I'm sure!

A cheap alternative is speaker magnets. Just go to a thrift store and buy some cheap speakers. Take the magnets out. Put some high strength double faced tape on one side and stick where the sun don’t shine to hide your pistol.

It pays to be armed at all times.

God help me, but I'm back on the Glock bandwagon again. Just traded my FNH FNS 9mm for a Glock 45 with the Ameriglo night sights. This new Ruger PCC is going to be the death of me, yet. The wife might use her Glock on me!!!

Snaveba, I think you have a problem and I also think I'm very jealous!!!

I bought a used one at my local LGS. without the Glock mag adapter and paid $550 out the door about a month ago. The Glock Mag adapter was another $34 from Ruger. Love mine! You did very well!!!

That was an excellent price!!! Congratulations on the buy!
