    I have the same exact picks. I could also go G19 and P228 (P229), about the "same" as their bigger brothers. Good choices, but the reasons for the choices were the best.
    Every pistol fails; it has to. The West German welded slide models with the pinned breechblocks did have their issues and life expectancy. The breechblocks would break loose. Corrosion and cleaning were troublesome. The BDA/P220 and then the P226 and then the P228 were ahead of the game in the 70's and 80's.

  • @echo_research_and_development
    @echo_research_and_development 7 месяцев назад

    I say it is a very sensible choice.
    If I must be limited to a traditional DA/SA it would be something like a SIG. The reason, aside of good track record in operational service, is the no nonsense way of using it. If I am already dealing with a DA trigger, I DO NOT WANT A thumb switch. DA first pull. SA follow up. Decock when done. Everything I need. Nothing I don't.
    That is why I do not want a CZ or Beretta. CZ also gives me the
    added difficulty of slide being harder to grab and manipulate.
    In my case, the DA/SA of my choice is something like an SP2022 over a P226, mainly because it gives me far better trigger reach.

    I'll take my G47 with red dot, and (assuming I can't keep my Staccato P, then) a LTT Elite Beretta G model for the SA/DA gun. But the 226 is a solid choice and probably more reliable than any other SA/DA choice.

    My P226 Legion is great. I’ve relied on various P226 pistols through the years, and the Legion has reduced-size controls to help those with issues interfering with them. It could be argued, of course, that “thumbs down” avoids such things in a life-or-death fight, but that is heresy today.

    i really loved my beretta 92 but in the early 2000's i got into 3gun and during the hot summer months we shot at night and the flimsy light mount for the early berettas was garbage. i was frustrated when beretta changed to having rails but by that time i had made the glock switch and was enjoying the extra mag capacity and lite weight. but still i look at the berettas and drool a little especially at the two tone onyx slide one.

    I ran 226/229 for a good long while. They all never had any issues, and were perfectly great guns. I am a bit of a CZ and Tanfo fan, but that mostly has to do with how the grip angle and trigger work for me on a personal level. But I see nothing wrong with this at all. Really had to beat them in most use cases outside of competition.

    My first pistol was a P226 - an NYPD overrun gun that came with the blinged out nickel plated controls that I converted back to DA/SA. Shot that and a P239 for a while, the latter I stupidly sold to buy a G19. Went with Glock for a bit. Then to HK P30/P30SK LEM. Went Beretta about 4 or 5 years ago and still shoot 92s and PX4s. Seems like I always end up coming back to the hammer fired DA/SA guns.

  • @JoMamasHouse

    Not a bad pick, I personally would pick the HK P30L over the 226 for simply one reason. You mentioned the West German made 226 is the good one. There is no distinction of what is a good P30 series. They’re all well made and have a decocker.

    I'm with you on the P226. I have a legion P229 and it's a joy to shoot!. The G17 gen5; nope. I had one early and the trigger had a terrible creep even with a aftermarket trigger, and I hate the ergonomics of the glock grip angle. If I had to have a striker I think it would be a Walther PDP. Shot a friends and very impressive. I would be torn about giving up my Staccato P for the P229, but for a self defense and conceal pistol, have to go with the 229. Good vid!

    The West German Sigs are good shooters. Used a P6 (P225) in IDPA in CCP before the rule change pushed the mag capacity to 10. Anyway, the gun ran well and shot well. Only complaint is extractor broke during a match but then again it probably had 3 or 4k rounds through it at that point so complaint has limits.

    I've got the Delta and it just works out better for me compared to a Glock. Obviously it's a subjective thing.

The 92 and p226 have proven themselves time and time again to work everytime you pull them out. All three of these handguns just. Work. CZs shoot great. After you get the throats reamed so you dont have to worrh about ammo getting stuck in the rifling or not. The p320 is a nogo for me. Not even going to entertain a debate. M&P2.0s are good too however the grip is too agressiv for concealment.
