Best rifle pistol combo of the 80's and 90's

[Savage Jav]

I would still take an AK first… based on the 80's-90's… however I am the same person that loved my A2 in the Army so take that for what it's worth

So you like THICK gun, some like a bit of heft to em

 

[AK0perator47]

I use any firearm… anything that is semi auto in decent caliber.. too many people get all crazy about what is best… it's whatever is able to be accurate with

 

[quneur]

Is that the pistol or the rifle?

If you're strong enough, both

Oddly enough some of us have an appreciation for reliability as well as accuracy.

Just about everthing mentioned here is still viable today

That's why an AK!

I drove one of the SHOs with the 220 HP Yamaha engine in it. That thing pulled hard for a car of that era. It had more horsepower than a Mustang when it came out, and it had a really wide torque curve. It redlined at 7200 RPM back when V8s were running out of steam at 5000. It still looked like a Taurus, though.

It took Ford (in the form of the Taurus Wagon) 40 years to catch up with the styling of the Citroen DS.

These were the sketches and mockups of what would become the Taurus, the Tempo, probably the Escort some of the Merkur XR4Ti/ Ford Sierra can be seen as well...

And then there's this. SHO Intercoastal concept. Wild tandem seat concept.

CAUTION: That combo may put hair on your chest, but as we see, not on your head.

 

[po18guy]

A Gradely Green Gun and Col. Cooper's 1911.

That's a first gen mercury topaz.

One very similar to this was the scene of my first Beej.

Ruston way summer of 89

Wait... You mean they made a 2nd generation of this POS? "Cocaine! Its a hulluva drug!!!"

I think this is the best combo. They share the same ammo 9mm. At the end. correct me if i'm wrong, Willis had 1 round in each gun and then combine them together in his M92 and then kills the 2 bad guys

Better would be a 92G. The decocker/safety combo of the FS is a nightmare waiting to happen under stress.

Lol, yeah I've pondered once or twice about tinkering with it, but thought twice. It does kinda scream nightmare. I can't complain though I bought mine for $360

That is a screamin deal. I did the Beretta G conversion kit and it was not bad. Way easier than messing with a CZ. I think the kit was around $50. They probably sell a lot of them since there are nowhere near as many Gs around as FSs.

Is it worth the $50? I mean what is your impression on why it is and does it benefit? I have a 92FS and I slapped a green dot on it… people thought the same thing

Why I hate the 92FS manual of arms:

1. The safety Off position is Up, which is the opposite of how most handgun safeties work.

2. The safety also decocks the gun. More on this later.

3. The safety does not lock the slide. On most safety guns this is a handy indication that your safety is on.

Keeping these three points in mind, picture yourself drawing the gun, flipping the safety down and firing. No bang. So what does a poor boy do? Tap and rack of course. How does the mighty 92FS respond? It ejects any round in the chamber, cocks the gun, decocks it again on the slide's return trip, and sits again in the exact same condition as before, as if to mock your stupidity. Meanwhile the shot timer is still running, or worse, the bad guy has just been gifted precious seconds that should have been yours. And the gun is still not ready to fire.

I love my 92, but I never carried it until after I installed the G conversion kit. Seriously, it's a great gun. It's accurate, runs smoothly, has a very nice factory trigger, and is one of the better guns out of the box for double taps. Looks cool too.

One caveat to the G kit, but a very minor one: The decocker leaves the hammer all the way down. There is a half-cock position, but you have to set it manually after decocking. And to be fair, you can achieve the same "condition" with the FS by switching the safety on, then off and then half-cocking the gun, but you're still carrying a decocker gun with a safety on it that works backwards, which is a recipe for confusion.

Pro Tip, Run the "Standard" De-cocker in the OFF position, hammer down on a live chamber in double action mode! Never carry cocked and locked with your safety on unless your being checked, it's How Beretta was designed to be carried! The "G" conversion simply made it easier to transition from other sidearms into the 92! I Prefer my FS for daily carry because I don't use/rely on a safety, I carry in double action only!


It's also why I no longer carry the 92 and returned to the gun that started it all, the trusty single action only M-1911!
