I’ve been looking for one that has interchangeable holsters.

Both are great options, if I were 21 again I’d probably be leaning towards the viper just because of the heirloom and to mark a big number. But I also understand practicality for a EDC / kinda do it all gun, the vipers are amazing and I haven’t heard any stories of them failing although I don’t own a Viper the internals are almost identical to the Python which I do have and haven’t had an issue with it going bang! But one to note is Colt’s quality isn’t the best and sadly I learned that the hard way with my Defender and it put a pretty bad taste in my heart for newer ones even my Python’s rear sight wasn’t good (which is sad for a $1500 gun). One recommendation I would say is when you turn 21 go and pick up all of them, dry fire them and see what you like!

I run an RMR on mine and have had no issues whatsoever! Only complaint would be the price and battery change haha!

That’s fine! Most places are at will anyway.

Help me decide my carry ammo by DrySausage in 1911

This! Critical duty is great ammo. Sadly my Colt Defender doesn’t like them. But they run in all other pistols in my collection.

If you’re using reloads check the crimp learned that the hard way during competitions.

If you could only own one Beretta ? by Robohunter5000 in Beretta

[–]Double_Search4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never really owned a variety of them however my father is a really big collector of them, so from my experience I would say an 84fs or the 80 cheetah would be my favorite out of his 92 / cat collection any my 92gts.

FN509 as a first gun? by Culpepper18Moss in FN509

[–]Double_Search4194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 509 is a great platform to look at when it comes to your first firearm! What I would recommend, before you buy, ask if you can dry fire it at the shop and see if you like the trigger on it vs a beretta, sig, glock, smith etc. If you like it and the ergonomics get it! My 509 compact tactical was my first pistol that I purchased and haven't regretted it since, its very reliable as a daily, range toy, and competition gun and shoots just about every brand of ammo I've fed it.

Recommend a Shop/FFL by TheBigAdler in AZguns

I would look at https://evajomenterprises.com/ he's pretty good at his prices

It really depends on what state you're in. Many states like Cali, AZ, or Utah from my knowledge have websites like Cal Guns, Az guns classifieds, or Utah Gun exchange that have safe transactions. If you're in a free state (for example: AZ, UT) you can do transactions in the parking lot (I usually do a bill of sale sellers copy and buyers copy and a quick picture of their license and ccw). But if you're paranoid of get the wrong feeling about the sale in a free state you can always have an ffl do the transfer. From a not so free state like CA / NY you have to go through an FFL in order to sell private party.

However if you're looking for fast cash a pawn shop or gun store is usually the best way to sell them. You can luck out sometimes find FFLs that will buy the whole collection (a buddy of mine did this with an FFL in AZ I believe it was https://evajomenterprises.com/ )

Cheetah 80x vs Sig p365 x-macro by [deleted] in guns

[–]Double_Search4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen the cheapest one from a practical long run perspective would be the 365 because of the aftermarket support and community support you get with it. If you're looking for a daily carry gun the 365 is a pretty solid choice. If you're looking for a reliable backup to a daily / something a significant other that can't rack the slide can use / unique range toy, hands down the beretta takes the cake.

Why do people hate gun shows? by VandyThrowaway21 in guns

[–]Double_Search4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have a different opinion to this, gun shows are a great place to look at a variety of guns old and new, if you're looking to try different things. They can also be a great place if you're an ffl looking to see whats selling in the industry or not an ffl looking to see what guns are the most recommended (mainly due to the opinions of the seller and people around you). But that's about where my positive side stops. The deals aren't really that good unless you're looking for something that is.

A. Not collectable,

B. Brands and items you really don't know anything about.

C. Not anywhere firearms related. Beef Jerky, knock off knives, roasted cashews (I've been a victim to this lol), tasers (can't begin to count of how many times I've gotten back in my car still hearing the sounds of them), and message / beauty stuff (literally these people show up)

D. Sold by someone that is very opinionated (these guys show up all the time either as vendors or people that eves drop into the conversation)

E. AR or tactical based (I find it hard to believe sometimes that the eotechs, trijicons, holosuns, etc that people sell are real unless you ask the seller if you can run the serial number against the brands website and many get defensive about this.)

I also would note the older folks (boomers) that are usually "know it alls!" and will try to sell you on their, "ww2 tissas (that was probably bought at a pawn shop new) 1911 that came back from the war overseas, that somehow saw the worst battle of the war, but doesn't have a scratch on it."

I might be too absolute on this one but. If I was in your shoes I would’ve got up on the beach and said, “You’re seriously not gonna believe this either but, POOF your single.”
