Hey...I can't help it if I attract buyers

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!

These are SWWEEEETTT pistols! Gotta control myself! Don't think about another purchase. lol. Plus I don't have an AR that would impress you. Also I think this model is no longer available.

We keep a good amount of food on hand, so I wasn't worried anyway. But I have a thing for fresh milk, and I have a favorite one...Kroger. Yeah go ahead and laugh. But I like it, and it seems to stay fresh tasting longer than others in the area. So I've made two trips out this week to add to the supply cache. I can safely say we've enough fresh fruit and veggie, some Boar's Head meats, and bread and bagels for a month! Did a Sam's run, the a Kroger the next day. I've been scolded heavily for this. For those who know, I've supposedly been restricted from all activity this past week because of a couple of falls. Bust my butt and got bruises to prove it. lol. Wanna see? Well you can't! It's a very tender area. Every time I move my shoulder it screams at me. And tweaked the back again. Don't think I'll ever get "normal" again. Actually I do 90%+ of our shopping anyway; but wife was really having neuropathy pains in her feet and could barely walk around the house. So went, Got canned staples and other items just to add to the larder. Yes, I paid for it. My right shoulder and low back have been screaming since. But hey...that's my job. I try my damnedest to not allow her to do anything that hurts her. Now if I would just do that for myself. Anyway 'fox...I'm not moving for a few days. Let it snow! Got a picture window to look out and heating pad/ice packs to sit on. I'm set!

That's a keeper! But spent way too much I don't have already this year! But sure tempts me too much!

Since owning a Styer clone, I've not been a big bullpup fan. This is interesting, but really doesn't change my mind. I think I'd still gow with IWI/IMI for a bullpup rifle.

I vote for .45 and .308!! Like'm strong and husky with a lot of "I'll put you down and wear you out!" power. LOL On the "strange and weird" side, does the .30-06 look a lot like Linda Hamilton to you too? Brownie points for Id on the "strange and wierd" reference.

Yep, been toying with the idea that I need one of them. You know...to go into the dark corners of my safe and not shot in years. LOL. But true.

That seems to be true for many of us.

You are either totally and completely blind to all things but guns and your bride...or just plain nuts! lol

Agree on the 17, that big sucker needs them. lol. I've never kept a 17. My tiny hands just don't mesh with it. Wish they did. I like the size of that frame.

Wasn't sure if my memory was correct on that one. lol I'll look around and check with a friend to see if he has one.

Pics coming? I saw the info disappear. What's the Blackhawk Sportser look like? Too lazy to look it up. lol Ok I will. Might be interested in it.

I like the finger grooves as well. Didn't Gen 3 also sport them? Nope...can't help you with a 1911 9. I lov'em too!

What Thompson? All I see is leg and shapely thigh! With a vague hint of no underwear.

Circa 1960?
