I have a model 96 Beretta which I must say, I am verry impressed with. Its verry accurate, its smooth, and its reliable. Never a feed jam, never a FTF in the 10000 or more rounds I have put through it at this point.(when the barrel wears out I'm going to go with a .357 sig conversion for better velocity/accuracy) I got some things taken care of on it by Ernie Langdon at LTT, since it was a LEO trade in, and ....well, WOW. Basically, 96d skellyhammer/hammerspring took some of the sa/da trigger pull weight away, some trigger mechanism work, and a feedramp polish of my own doing. Nothing near far enough to make it an unreliable carry gun though. In fact, quite the opposite.
Anyway, back to the topic.
I bought an "unkle mikes" sandwich style holster to use at the range, its the one that has adjusting screws to set the "pretension" on holding the firearm in it while running, etc and the clamp looking thing on the hip-contoured puck to "grab" the backside of the fabric in the pants on the hip. Once its on, as long as you are wearing a belt, its verry stable, and holds the firearm well. Its pretty much a LEO type holster, but it does work GREAT when I use it.I don't have a CCW, but I have toyed with the idea. Its not a huge issue here, being that in AZ were open carry, and while I don't engage in that practice for the most part, it DOES come in handy for going to the range. Toying with the CCW idea, should I ever decide to get one , since AZ is also "shall issue", has led me to ask this:
I know, its a large gun to consider carrying, but what would you guys do for a ccw setup, if you were somewhere that was 95 degrees or hotter regularly, and 70 to 80 for a few months in winter? Pretty much shorts and t-shirt weather. Just asking for opinions here.
GregW, No intention here of hijacking your thread, it just seemed like this was a good thread to ask in.
