They are too; big, small, heavy, lacking grip modules, lacking "enablers", not all-light capable, not ambidextrous, not high in fiber.

Maybe at the same time, for this old fart, explain why the new 9mm is so much more powerful than the old 9mm. Or are they going to issue new "bigger" 9mm ammo.
I am not sure if the writer is FOS (full of shit) or the people feeding him the info are the source.
I normally carry a 40 cal, and if this new 9mm is so much more powerful I might even switch. Not lilely, tho.

It's hard if you suck. But then the m17 won't be much easier.

ZSMICHAELI guess sensible writing is dead. At least it is more informative than busty babes wearing tiny leather bikinis in fast boats shooting guns at the invisible enemies on the shoreline.

highroundcountGood grief. Now we are going to have to listen to a whole bunch of new buzz words spouted off by "operators" at the gun shops and ranges.

Chowserhahaha, what the hell???
i have average sized hands and have no trouble shooting the Beretta 92 one handed. I even have two for dual wielding!
Not minority enough! November 21, 2018, 06:02 PM
rat2306I thought the M17 bore a striking resemblance to the pistol component of the Johnny Seven O.M.A. (One Man Army). The basis for an upcoming system?
Still, I'd like one!

Doc H.I saw in the video you can engage the enemy with one hand with this pistol. That's a relief. I always found it cumbersome to fetch my M9 out of the wheelbarrow I needed to just lug it around. You can even acquire one of these Buck Rogers ray guns for your very own as a civilian:

Or maybe it's the secret sauce called "dual wielding?"
Although Keanue does it just fine with da Beretta.
