Bond, James Bond beratta


When Bond’s Beretta 418 caught in his holster on one mission, it was decided that he should switch guns to the Walther PPK chambered in 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP). The PPK was introduced in the 20’s in Germany and was the smaller version of the Walther PP line of automatics, aimed at undercover police work. It’s a fairly standard blow-back operated double-action semi-automatic with a single-stacked magazine. It holds seven rounds in the magazine. It is also available in .380 ACP with a six-round magazine.

New Ruger SR9 9mm


Since the mid 1980s, it’s been interesting to watch the evolution of Ruger’s centerfire autopistols. Starting with the 9mm P85, which was a major leap for the company, the lineup grew from that first model on through several other generations of Ruger autos to cover other 9mm platforms, and include the popular .40 and .45 calibers. Once the initial teething pains of the P85 were resolved, the Ruger autos developed a reputation for being strong, reliable, and reasonably priced for most buyers

I have an IMI model B 9mm Uzi. Accurate, collectible and loads of fun.


ou may like H&K, I find them very klunky. YMMV.

My other "little" rifle isn't in a pistol caliber, but still LOADS of fun in a VERY small package. LOUD as hell too!:

HK USP 9mm, 3x15rd Mags, Threaded Barrel


The HK USP (Universal Self-loading Pistol) is the first HK pistol designed especially for American shooters. Features favored by US law enforcement and military users provided the design criteria for the USP and its controls are uniquely American, influenced by such famous designs as the Government Model 1911 pistol.

The control lever, a combination safety and decocking lever, is frame mounted and quickly accessible, unlike the slide mounted safeties common on many semi-automatic pistols.

9mm vs. 38 Special: The Cartridges & the Guns


The J-frame Model 638 is smaller and lighter than the all-steel K-frame 3" Model 64. Weighing less and with usually smaller stocks felt recoil is greater than with the heavier/larger revolver even if the same ammunition or load is being used. One is easier to hide, has shorter sight radius, and has greater felt recoil. The other is slightly harder to conceal, larger, weighs more, but is almost always easier for most people to shoot well. Its felt recoil is not usually objectionable even though it will normally produce higher velocities than the 1 7/8"

9mm usp hand gun


Suffice it to say, I’ll stick to the .22 for a while. (The 9mm has an incredible amount of kick to it compared to the light nothing of the .22) I did pretty poorly with the 9mm as I wasn’t able to handle the recoil very well, my shots end up all over the target, and the gun completely unsteadied me.

End game, however, is that I’m pretty hooked. Looking back at the experience, it was really, really enjoyable. I’m going to go back and try a rifle (they have a ruger 10/22) and see how that goes.
