Nice! The P9S is magical. I'm curious as to who actually manufactured these--Sig Sauer in Eckerforde or... Mauser in Oberndorf? Couldn't find anything definitive, either way
@@HipsterTactical: I've seen some examples that had the written "frame made in Germany" so I think that barrels and slides were all made in the USA by SIG Arms.
Try the 45 ACP. It’s a Mauser design. The more you shoot it the more accurate it gets. Don’t over lubricate the firing pin, it will ‘hydraulic lock’ and won’t ignite the primer. It’s a ‘10’! 🤙
It’s a long story but I had a 45. I sold my 4” GP 100 to a friend and switched to fixed sights with the M2. Like you said, the grips a little large and it’s heavy. You can make a 10mm nail gun out of the 357/40. Vest pocket that one!
Thanks, Frank! Yeah, I thought I was gonna be "the cool guy" and have one of a few videos on this gun... but two posted (on this gun) in the last month. But thanks for the comment, as usual. Hope you're doing well.
Nice! Thanks, man! I appreciate it. And I loooove the P5. If they weren't so damn expensive and rare I'd shoot mine more. One of the best shooting 9mms I've experienced. The Mauser M2 is cool... but... I tend to think the Beretta rotating guns are better, in general. Thanks for the comment, my friend!
The barrel shouldn't rotate until after the bullet has left the barrel so it shouldn't effect how it interfaces with the rifling. It probably has more to do with the caliber and the action's cycle time and the reinforcement of the frame and ergonomics.
Good point. On my PX4 review, someone else brought up the idea of "counter rotation" relative to the bore. To my layman's logic, it seemed to make sense... but you may be right: same deal with a tilt barrel--it doesn't tilt until after the bullet leaves. And definitely cycle time, I think, plays a big role in how one experiences recoil. Thanks for chiming in!
I have to disagree. There were some delayed blowback "rotating barrel" pistols where the rotation of the barrel was opposite to the rotation of the bullet. That helped to delay the separation of the breech from the chamber and keep the pressure on the safe side. In my opinion Beretta made a deliberate choice to adopt that solution in order to make sure the action remains closed even with the hottest rounds. Infact the Px4 has probably the longer split action time between shots. It takes "alot" more time than a tilting action pistol to open and close the action during firing.
Thanks, man! I haven't tried any of the Grand Powers, but they're definitely on my radar--specifically the P11 subcompact. I believe it's a little smaller than a PX4? There was a beat-to-shit K100 (full-size GP) at a local shop here recently... now I wanna go see if it's still there :)
It just hit me! Many new gun owners don’t know what a hipster gun is. A video on that would be great. Is a striker fire pistol hipster? I like your attitude but the channel needs a distinction. How about a hipster score. Not about how great the pistol 🔫 is but how hipster it is. You discuss the parts of the gun and give each part a hipster score. Show us the ultimate hipster pistol!
Haha! Brilliant. I did write a "A Guide to Self-Assessment and Coping" for gun hipsters: www.primerpeak.com/am-i-a-gun-hipster/ Also, check out my blog site (hipstertactical.com)--each written review begins with "What makes it hipster worthy?" Not exactly a score... but more of a "qualitative assessment."
Basically any older gun is a hipster gun. With obsolete revolvers being fuddish-hipster and would fit into the hipster umbrella term. Hipsters by definition love anything vintage.
I owned one in 45acp. She was fat. I have XL hands so I found it comfortable. Field stripping sucked. I would keep a plastic pen cap to remove the slide stop for take down. I think sales were poor because it was a thick gun and had many safety features. If i remember correctly, I think it was marketed as the worlds safest pistol? People hate safe. But it was a pleasant shooter even with 45 +P and it was insanely accurate. Very slick slide action.
@@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. I need to try a .45 Storm. I wish they made a compact .45 PX4--they designed one. It's actually referenced in the PX4 compact manual. Anyway... thanks for the comment!
Hmm. Not sure if it was made in the Sauer factory (Eckernforde) or by Mauser (Oberndorf). I'm not sure Mauser even has a factory in Oberndorf anymore? Couldn't find any definitive info, either way. Thanks for the comment!
Nice! We're everywhere! Just curious--is the SIG P210/P49 still issued/used in Denmark? I might join the police just to carry one of those :) Thanks for the comment!
@@HipsterTactical P/49 was actually never issued to the police - but it was issued to all branches of our military until rather recently. We started phasing it out in 2018 as the main service pistol, and now we issue the SIG P320 instead, very much like the Americans. Before that we also issued a couple of other pistols along with the old Neuhausen, among them the full sized HK USP9 for the military police (since the Danish police issues the USP9 Compact, and almost every single military police officer ends up joining the regular police afterwards, so it makes sense to train them on the same platform from the start) and the SIG P230 for naval officers on the royal yacht. As civilian pistol shooters, we are limited to handguns with a total length of at least 21 cm, and chambered for cartridges of calibers no wider than 9mm, except for .40 S&W, .44 Special (NOT Magnum!), .45 ACP and .45 Colt. That means I can never own a S&W 1076, which is my dream... oh well - at least I have a Sphinx AT2000 S!
Ample moly grease lubricant needed on those rotating lug barrels. Major impact loading metal to metal mechanism. I'd take the M2 in .45acp. Shame is out of production .
Yeah, I often wonder if I would have had a better experience with a .45 example; after all, that's the original design of the M2. I tried moly grease in my .45 Cougar... I feel like it sorta made the action sluggish. But I probably used too much. I've used only oil in my PX4 and it's never given any trouble. Thanks for the comment, man!
I think this Mauser failed to achieve romantic heritage status of the legendary war rifle Mausers and C96 Broomhandle. Entertaining anyway. I enjoy rewatching many of your reviews just to see what I might be missing in exotic chunky European pistols. I have Zero interest in .40 cal. Now 7.62x25T really excites me 💥‼️✌️☮️
I talked to friend of mine that works for Sig in NH. They just imported these. Mine is in .40. I love the obscure guns too. I also have a HK P9S!

Own 3 grand powers and are by far the best shooting polymer pistols I’ve gotten my hands on
You say Mauser and I think C96 Broom Handle, WWI world. The rotating barrel is an old design like CZ 24/27. Kool ✌️
Love your presentation style. 👍👍
Thanks, buddy! I'd love to have a C96. Just like Han Solo :) Thanks for the comment!

Interesting. I might have been a buyer if it was hammer fire. I own a Cougar in 45 and 2 9mm Storms. Love Beretta. My compact Storm from LTT is my EDC

It aids in timing the bolt opening 500 years of firearm’s experience
Yup. Beretta is one of the oldest companies in the world. They certainly know what they're doing. Thanks for watching!
If sig made it it would not be safe to shoot
Haha. Tough crowd. But... Sig earned that one.
