hipower

The Zastava M85 like the one I sold recently, seems to be making a comeback. You might take look at it. Although mine was unfired, I did get some rounds thru one, and was pleased with it. Just sayin'.

I admit I do sorta like the looks of the CSX, and if you search GB, it can be found from 549 up. So pricing isn't too far off a good spot for and introductory Shield competitor. At least that is how I see the CSX. Having bought almost all the variations of the Shield pistols, I guess you could say I'm pretty fond of them. I currently have the PC 2.0 and the 4" Plus 2.0. I really do like the way they fit my hands, and they shoot well for me. I must dmit to a slight favoritism for the PC 2.0 ove the Plus model, but I have carried it a lot longer, and shot more with it. So that might change. Withe the multitude of sub-compact and micro 9's available, and more like to come, I won't say that I couldn't be swayed in my thinking. lol Even considered a 365XL recently, pricing seems to be dropping on them. However, I wisely decided to wait on that one. For once.

And I was just thinking about looking into a Shadow Systems pistol! But seriously, for me it will have to wait(maybe...lol), I've already gone nuts this past 60 days, and with the search for an SA 35; I'll just have to put the Shadow Systems farther down the list of Needs.

You mean I'm now going to be tempted by yet another new pistol!!

I've watched that several times and didn't catch this! Sharp eyes you got there!

Very nice! I like it! I usually just have my backpack bazooka and a couple of Gerbers. LOL! Actually, I'm low on the knife totem. My normal is a Kalisnakov Auto clipped on and a Gerber LST in the pocket with change. Very low end guy. If I want to get fancy, I'll get out one of the TGO Protech Striders.

Part of the Newness of the SA35 is the change to 15 round mags, at least that's what I see in the PR material, and the mags I ordered from Springfield are 15 rounds. Just tried to get a few before the pistol. lol The ones I recieved are marked with the crossed cannon logo and 15 rounds. Made in Italy, and the package is marked 9mm 1911. That threw me, but they do fit in my BHPs and look pretty good.

Valid point on the light, Bob. It's bothered me at times as well, but not being a professional(closer to a mall ninja probably) I only have 2 weapon lights mounted. One pistol, a house gun, and one on an AR pistol.

That's true. And I'm sure the new Hipower will sell, but just like the original, the price will keep me away. The improvements/changes are nice, but at close to double the price...well let's just say I can admire it anyway. The change from 15 to 17 rounds just doesn't thrill me enough to warrant it. So at this point the SA35 is still my choice.

I find it hard to not like the Walther line! I was hooked after my first session with the PPQ.

Thanks brother for the link. But approaching 1400 msrp? Gotta pass on that. Still SA-35 for me.

Looks like a Taurus to me.

You are a cold, cruel, cruel man, sir!

Kinda...sorta..like the looks. But it seems more like a Sig looking pistol to me. I guess the shutdown was to give them time to build the HIGHPOWER Generation 2022. But really would go for the SA35 with its more original looks.

Good thing you are doing pop pop! Teaching them about real life.

Yes, I would like to try the K12, but the price was a bit high. Should have jumped on it when first released. I think it was right around the 600 mark, possibly less. PDP 9 is great! As is the PPQ. Had a PPQ in 45, but found it too harsh for me. Recoil was pretty bad. Had both generations of the PPS. Same as the 45, just didn't like them.

Have to dig mine out and look. But I fear you are right on this.

A .32 Magnum? Like the idea. One of my favorite pocket guns is a Berreta 32.

LOL! So say we all!

WAFFLE time!!

Has anyone bought one of the SAR 9 pistols? This is another Turkish made pistol and I have been curious about them. With my satisfaction withe the Canik line, I decided to order one last week from PSA. Actually, after reading the reviews, I got 2. LOL Why? Well number one was the aforementioned Canik love, and two was the reviews, followed closely by the price. With all the taxes and tics, it works out to a solid 300 each. Just a bit less than total the per item cost of the PSA Dagger. Ok, since the thread title is on the SAR 9, let's start there. First impression is that it's a big pistol. Almost exactly the size of the HK VP 9. Height and width are virtually the same, with the SAR having almost a 1/4 inch longer barrel. The SAR looks a bit like the VP9 as well I think. In fact that's what first brought it to my attention. It feels very good in my hand, maybe not quite the intuitative grasp as the VP when first handling, but very similar. Like the HK, it has the finger-groove style grip(which I like), and surprisingly to me, not enough texture to make it "grippy." I think this one might do better with some grip tape. Has a pretty deep undercut on the trigger guard, which is pretty squarish, with horizontal cuts in the front of the guard. And has a 3 position rail. The trigger is like almost all these days, with a built in safety that feels rather good to me. It's relatively flat, both the trigger and the safety, without a huge curve to it. Does have a bit of a long pull, a good quarter inch before it hits the "wall," then almost as much before it breaks. A little stiff, but not real hard. Reset is audible, and sets at just about the same point it breaks to fire( of course) but nice overall. No trigger guage, but I'm guessing about 4/5 pounds, but doesn't feel heavy to me. I said it's a big gun...27.8 oz. No G19, that's for sure. I look forward to taking it out and doing a little comparison with the Dagger and the VP9. Ought to be interesting. It comes with 2 17 round mags. AS opposed to my VP which as 15 rounders. With the exception of the paddle release of the VP9, the controls feel similar to me. The SAR has a small, ambidexterous frame mounted safety that can be converted to a decocker, and a tiny, Glock-like slide release. You definitely will want to "slingshot" the slide. Has the curently in favor combat style sight, with three large white dots, with the rear being drift adjustable. Pretty decent front and rear serrations. No slide cuts of course, as this is pretty much a base model. Strange though, since currently almost every Canik is optic ready. We shall see how it performs. I'm expecting it to be good, but it is an enty level pistol for SARSILMAZ, so nothing fancy. What would you expect for the price? So far, I'm very happy with the purchase.

In regards to The Gun Crew...yes! They do have a rather large inventory. It may not all be in sight, but most items are. Tey also do a rather huge online business. While I may not buy everything from Gun Crew, I can pretty much count on finding the newest, hottest items to view there. Very good staff and a friendly place. Just don't expect to get in and out fast...it's not possible. lol

Does this work with the 45 with integrated laser?

Thanks, I'll just have to have a couple of these!

Worse than my back and butt! Take care of yourself!
