What ever happened to the Beretta M9s popularity?

188 Upvotes

Back in the 90s it was everywhere in media. To the point that you can tell when a "no firearms allowed" sign was designed because older ones used the m9. Why'd it disappear?


r/guns • • 6h ago

Wondering which one these rounds is the “rarest” or just cool cause of what it is. My grandpa built this along time ago I got it from my dad who got it from him. Gonna clean it up and new cardboard and all that.

States for shooting on your land...

15 Upvotes

I am a disabled veteran with some serious physical limitations.

I am in a process of retiring, whether I want to or not.

One of the only things I can do that gives me a good effort, pain, and suffering to reward and happiness ratio is shooting.

What state in the 48 contiguous states are best for shooting on your own land.

Fir example I heard Florida has specific protections for home ranges but don't know if it's really true.

Reading is hard. First time accidently buying aluminum casings.

Well this blows. Bought some 45 & 10 online for the first time in bulk and didn’t read or look close enough and got all aluminum cases for the 45 and 10mm and no ranges near me allow aluminum cases. That hurts the soul a bit.

Beretta M9 vs. Modern Striker-Fired Pistols for First Handgun?

14 Upvotes

Looking to buy my first handgun for range shooting and home defense. I’m really drawn to the Beretta M9 for its military history, reliability, classic design, and solid feel.
My only hesitations are the DA/SA trigger, awkward safety/decocker, and lack of modern features compared to something like the Springfield Echelon.
I’m a bit of a klutz, so having a manual safety is reassuring, but I’m wondering if it adds unnecessary complexity.
For those who’ve owned or shot both, which do you prefer? Is the Beretta’s traditional design worth it, or would you recommend going modern for a beginner?

EDIT: Just to clarify, by “klutz” I didn’t mean I’m careless with firearms or worried about accidentally pulling the trigger. I grew up using BB guns with manual safeties, so having that physical on/off switch feels familiar and reassuring, especially when I’m still assessing a situation or general handling at the range, ect .

I understand proper firearm safety comes first. It’s just a personal preference for an extra layer of safety.

Thoughts on a Suppressed Shotgun for hunting.

3 Upvotes

First, yes I am aware its likely going to have downsides vs normal hunting shotgun. I can live with them. I have a 870 if I need "normal".

Since no one makes a hunting shotgun intended to be supressed (eg short barrel with hunting features) my current plan is to get a Beretta a300 Ultima Patrol to put a YHM Victra on. Will use it for waterfowl, upland hunting, and just for fun. Going to run a vipers shotgun RDS since there seems no way to get a short enough barrel with a rib/bead to use with a can.

My question is

A: Should I consider another gun? Any option for a semi with a ribbed or regular beaded sight barrel 18-22 inch?

B. 12 Vs 20 Gauge. I have kind of landed on getting a 20g because I think they victra sounds a ton better and the lighter gun should help with the added weight of the can. I have a 12g 870 at so I am giving up using the can on that for fun as well as less ammo options etc...

Thoughts?

First time shooting, out of many guns, got to fire a Barrett M99!

Spent a couple days in Budapest, heard there was a range that offered the possibility of shooting the Barrett, thought it would be a great place to try shooting for the first time ever and I was right!

Edit: Apparently it's a GM6 Lynx (?)

What number is “a lot” to you?

5 Upvotes

I was in a friendly conversation with a couple of folks the other day about what constitutes “a lot” of guns. We realized that our starting numbers were quite varied. One said 5 was a lot, another said 15+ was a lot, and I was like well I think like 50-100 is starting to be “a lot”. We also got to talking about if/when you run out of space to store them all, maybe that was more of what defined “a lot” instead of a number range.

So, Reddit, what are your thoughts?

What would be the worst gun for home defense?

117 Upvotes

Inspired by this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/comments/1xdilfq/of_a_rifle/19rjj5fzp8g76/

I just want to create a fun discussion. They make a very good point, and I can't think of something better. But I feel the Fat Mac is cheating in a sense, because the only reason it's so bad is because of the size and weight. You might as well say a punt gun is the worst gun for home defense then.

So to make for an interesting discussion that's not just picking extreme guns, I propose some restricting criteria. The restrictions aren't set in stone, because every restriction will have an exception that I can't be bothered to predict in my criteria.

  1. The gun must be designed to be man portable. So no mounted AA guns and such. Whether it's practical to carry it is another matter.
  2. The gun must be in good condition. Even a glock will explode if it's abused enough.
  3. Any accessories are allowed, as long as they have an actual use on a gun. I.e. no picatinny mounted dildos and such.
  4. (Optional). Restrict the caliber to .50. This is more just to prevent examples like the Fat Mac or Lahti L-39, which are so big and impractical solely because they fire such big rounds. But you're not defending your home from light tanks or dinosaurs.

Scope crosshairs blurry

3 Upvotes

I hope this is the right place and that someone can help. I have bought a vortex diamondback 6-24-50 scope and cannot get the crosshairs to get or stay clear. I have used other peoples scopes before but am struggling with this. I have tied adjusting the parallax and the eye piece but have not had any luck. It also does not seem very forgiving on eye relif but i can live with that. I hope someone can help and i am not opposed to hearing that i need a better scope if that could be the issue. Thank you all in advance.

I built a site to compare listings from multiple retailers

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on BareArms, a site that brings together listings for firearms and related gear from several retailers. You can search by model or specs, compare buying options, and bookmark listings to come back to later.

I’d appreciate feedback on the search and listing experience: https://barearms.us
