Haha. Can't argue with that! It works... it shoots bullets... and looks cool!

@@shootsouthpaw7771 I kinda wish I would have tried one in .45-I tend to think the .40 version was kind of an afterthought. All they did weld spacers in the mags and tighten the bore. Glad you liked yours. If I ever come across one again in .45 for a decent price… I might bite. Thanks for the comment!

Nice! It's an endearing gun--and it's really fun to shoot. I sold this one. At some point I'd like to get another one in a little better condition and see if the accuracy is any better. But can't argue with a powerful handgun that works every time. Thanks!

@@True-word74 I agree 100%. Never really felt the need for more than a single stack for carry. Honestly, the PPS works for me-it’s such a nice shooter. Of course I’m curious about new guns from Walther… but I don’t feel I’m missing anything with the PPS. Except for maybe the P99 trigger in a PPS for factor. Damn. That would be awesome. Thanks!

@@HipsterTactical I have the pps m2 le I bought 2 of them it’s my favorite gun by Walther . I have also the pdp F 3.5 inch . Awesome gun but the pps is still my favorite it’s what I carry 80 percent of the time only other carry gun I like is the fn reflex . Trust me I shot lots of Walter’s friends have the pdp q steel frame it’s heave shoots great but has no purpose for me .

Put it on my tombstone, homey 🤣

Thanks! We recently remodeled this section of our basement and I moved to doing videos in front of my fireplace. I may move back to the "library" at some point. Appreciate the comment!

Thanks so much for the comment and sub! I'm probably not the best guy to ask about some of the aftermarket USP stuff... but I know there are some options for extensions available on HK Parts. Haven't seen any mag funnels on HKs other than on the 9mms--like you said. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. I don't really use kydex holsters, but I know JM Custom Kydex is highly regarded--and I'm pretty sure they offer holsters for just about every gun that's currently in production. Good luck, my friend and thanks again!

Now I need to watch fight club. Thanks!

Yeah, I've tried the E2 grips. They feel good, but I found the traction lacking. My favorite grips on the P229 and the P226 are the "Contour Classic" G10s from Hogue. I discovered these after I made this video. They have more curvature, unlike Hogue's normal G10 grips. Thanks!

@@HipsterTactical Yup, Contour Classic has less "Glock hump" which is something I want for my Mk25. I tried and liked E2 grips on a P229 Elite.

Nice! The Ronins are cool. Look into the Garrison, as well. It's kinda between the Ronin and the Mil-Spec. It has better sights, a better grip safety and a more up-market finish, vs. the Mil-Spec. But also the longer trigger with the lightning holes. In any case--Springfield makes solid 1911s. Good luck!

Yeah, I'm not much of a rail guy myself. But I'm tellin' ya--the machining on this rail is a work of art. It has this intricate stepped design that's honestly beautiful. I don't mind it. And yeah, the weight is serious... and I'm not sure how much it actually improves the shooting experience? I guess it's just neat to have a gun that feels like it was carved from a solid block of steel... for no other reason than it's neat to have a gun that feels like it was carved from a solid block of steel :) Thanks for the comment and I hope you're doing well!

Fair enough. I love Beretta and Sig... some HKs. Sig P229 is probably my favorite Glock 19 sized handgun. Thanks!

Congrats! I need to get a full size at some point. Still love the compact.

Oooo. I hear the P-09 is a tack driver. Especially with the CGW mods. Hope it's as awesome as it sounds. Thanks!

It definitely improves a great gun. My pulls are down to 8ish lbs double and 3.2 lbs single with the reduced trigger pull kit ect. My P01 with their defensive carry kit and my Shadow Target 2 from CZC are better, but for a good duty pistol/banging around gun the 09

Mine too! Thanks!

Yeah, in the grand scheme of things it’s not crazy. But I compare it my P99-which is basically the same gun with a polymer frame… whoa. Thanks, Frank! Hope you’re doing well.

Can't argue with that. Of all gun makes, I carry Sigs the most. They're just very relevant in terms of size, action and shootability.

Yes, I think you're right. Though there were a few things (dry mud) in which the Beretta did better. And yes, Beretta offered a better deal with parts and maintenance. Thanks!

It's funny you mention that--I saw a P89 in my local gun shop that included a .30 Luger barrel. Which would have been neat. But yeah, it's accurate and 100% reliable. And I think it looks cool. Thanks!

Yeah, Walther’s modern service pistols are fantastic. They’re all intuitive shooters. My favorite is still probably the P99-love the trigger. But the PPQs are wonderful as well. Thanks for the comment, my friend!

100% agree. The Ruger P89 is certainly not cheap-it performs as well as significantly more expensive guns. I was blown away by how excellent the P89 is, by any metric.

@@believe722I got very familiar with this firearm so I could tell you about it… and I’m telling you, I think this gun needs a manual safety. Especially for appendix carry. Stop getting tactical insight from Blackhawk Down.

Nice! Thanks!

I do really appreciate Andrea Bocelli’s music-and not even in an ironic way. Same with the Cougar actually… it’s really and excellent firearm. Thanks!

Haha. That’s cool! I haven’t experimented with any refinishing. Yet. I do kinda wanna mirror polish my 5906. Because… we all need a pimp gun sometimes…

@@HipsterTactical I mirror polished my S&W E Series 1911, and a Ruger 1911 slide. The Ruger is gone, but my son has the S&W, and it developed a few light scratches. I spent maybe 15-20 minutes with 1500 grit and a buffing wheel, and now it’s perfect again. That’s why I like polished stainless finishes. 😉👍

That's cool. Yeah, they make a nice substitute if you like the 3rd gens. And I always wonder if they accuracy issues were with the earlier guns. Mine is 1996 and it groups very well at 10 - 15 yards. Thanks!

I am not a fan of striker fired guns, but still want something with DA capability. I have other stuff in the safe, but I only keep 3x pistols readily available and the DP51 is the only one in 9x19mm (which I load w/ 115gr JHP). The other two are both in 9x18mm (a CZ82 and a P64 both of which are loaded with 93gr ball ammo [and are a truck gun and CCW, respectively...]).

Grazie, mio amico! It’s tongue in cheek, but the song truly is beautiful.

@@HipsterTactical I was stationed at Camp Darby Pisa Italy for 2 years in the 90's during Bosnia. Italy, the food, the people and definitely Beretta will always have a place in my heart

@@troyspurling1910 oh, nice! I’ve been to Italy-Tuscany, Rome and Sorrento. Tuscany is probably the most magical place I’ve been. I think my wife may have been to Pisa? I’ll have to ask her.

@@johndeere1951a grazie!

@@2bless2bstress it’s a 9mm! Man, I’d love to have an inox Cougar. But they’re a fortune whenever they come up.

​@HipsterTactical got a Ig or contact ✉️? What ur take on cz btw

I have a D spring in mine. The trigger is actually great. I think the rotating barrel gives it plush, silky feel you don’t really get with anything else-and the thing is very accurate. But I 100% agree on the levers. Racking with the safety on actually helps.

This P229 is becoming my go-to mid-sized gun, as well. It shoots well, it's reliable and it has a reasonably smooth DA pull. Generally concealable with a decent belt. Thanks!

Agree. It's a work of art. Thanks!

I've heard nothing but good things about the Tisas 1911s. If I ever come across one for a good price... I may bite. Thanks!

Doesn't surprise me at all. There's a certain magic with Beretta's rotating action. The PX4 is such a natural, intuitive shooter. Thanks!

Haha. And don't forget the comped PDPs with mag-wells and the threaded PPK/S... that they just announced at TEQfest. Yeah, kind of a disappointment. I still think we'll see a compact 9mm at some point. The PDK trademark still hasn't cleared, last time I checked. Thanks!

Cool, man. I don't mind the mag release on mine. It's definitely a fun gun to shoot. Thanks!

I hope they do, bro! We’ll probably find out this weekend.

@@SplitRockTactical No problem, buddy! I remember when I was just starting out. I need to watch your vid in more detail… I just quickly looked at it between meetings. Best of luck with your channel!

@@HipsterTactical thank you

This gun's name is "Karl" and it grew up in Oberndorf drinking organic beer and eating a steady diet of schwartzbrot. It was certified organic by the proof house in Ulm. Haha.

Thanks, man! I’m having fun getting some rounds through it. Stay tuned…

It is a worthy grail gun-the thing is amazing. It’s just not my grail gun. Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, mine has never had an issue in over 2000 rounds.

Oh yes. It is a work of art. Nicest gun I’ve owned 👍

@@HipsterTactical enjoy it bro!

Thanks! The thing can shoot.
