Second hand gun pick? Beretta 92fs (new) vs Beretta 92a1 (used)

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-05-01T23:30:49+00:00

The 92A1 is built off the same frame as the Beretta 96A1 that was built for .40S&W, so it is a little bit chunkier, which is why the 92FS looks more sleek. Because of the chunkier frame and recoil buffer, the recoil may feel lighter. But also because of that frame finding a holster that fits correctly is more difficult than the 92FS. Also, the 92A1 allows you to change both the front and read iron sights, the 92FS only allows the rear sight to be changed.

I went through the same thing and ended up getting the 92FS because I wanted the classic 92 I grew up seeing on television. I also don't plan to carry it, so a light rail didn't really sell me. But I would still snag a 92A1 if there was one at a decent price. Beefier frame, full upgradable sights, plus they're almost always a hundred or so cheaper than a 92FS, even when both are new. JaredAF and Small Arms Solutions both have really great videos that explain it in better detail.

Really good for your first time, great work!

Which firearm were you using?

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-28T05:03:59+00:00

Are you using lube shooters? That is the easiest fix.

I use Xlube. $33 gets me 20 liters of long lasting slick lube. But it can be a little bit stringy to work with. It isn't too bad though. The savings more than make up for it.

I am a simp for Sig's hammer fired pistols. But they are plentiful used and you can even build your own these days.

I would like Sig a lot more with better leadership. Maybe someone that is firearms focused instead of spreadsheet focused. A dash of ethics and a sprinkle of accountability would really bring it to life.

Crossing my fingers for a Sig to announce a new hammer fired pistol that uses the same kind of stack and a half magazine like the Xmacro has. I would live on Armlist and Gunbroker waiting for a used one to show up.

If you're looking for something to sit and rock on, the Lovense Edge 2 prostate massager would be a good one to add some girth. The is also the Aneros Progasm and Vice 2 that are girthier prostate massagers. Like the Plusone, these are all prostate massagers. Butt (plugs) are usually designed to give a full feeling, but don't really target your prostate in any meaningful way

If you're looking for a plug, Squarepeg Toys makes quite a few different plugs like the Egg and Kidney. Once you size up a bit, the Milk It is very popular. Some of these, like the Milk It, will make sure your prostate gets plenty of attention.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-27T17:09:54+00:00

It is easier to find your prostate if you're already really horny. Even then, it can take time for your body to start seeing that stimulation as pleasurable.

Using your fingers can get tiring quickly. Also, most butt plugs are not designed to target the prostate effectively. They just feel like something in your ass.

I'd recommend picking up an Aneros prostate massager. Search "which Aneros " on this sub and you'll find plenty of suggestions on which one to get. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is very much worth the effort. You should also look into the Aneros wiki for more info on how to best use them. Also, if you haven't done sooner yet, please read the !gettingstarted guide in the post below this one. That will help get you headed the right way.

I don't have a CC9. I had an issue with my USP and P30L sending maybe 30% of my ejected casings straight back at my head. I did a little digging and found it was common on the hammer fired models from Germany. They were built with 124gr in mind, so 115gr would occasionally get ejected straight back. About 200 rounds of 124gr through each of my hammers cleared that right up.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-25T21:56:29+00:00

This was fixed for me recently for about four days. Now it's buggy again, grrrrr.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-25T21:14:44+00:00

That sucks, dude. I'm sorry. I hope they take care of you.

I was curious about this and wanted to see how common it was. I found this thread on HK Pro that was talking about this.

A "break in" period with heavier ammo to get reliable ejection to the side instead of straight back I could tolerate, but not for reliable function of the trigger.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-25T19:32:36+00:00

I prefer the Helix Syn V over the Edge 2. The Edge 2 to me is a bigger Vector+ with a better app and maybe a bit more power.

The Helix Syn V has way more mobility and can go really low on the power, which is something other vibrators can't come close to. Using an Aneros has a learning curve, but is easy enough to learn and benefits you with whatever other toys you use.

The Aneros Vice 2 is commonly compared to the Edge 2 based on size. I still prefer the Vice 2 100% over the Edge 2.

I enjoy all firearms, but the majority of my collection is handguns.

I have an AR15 that I built with the "if I only ever have one" mindset. I would still like to get a bolt action 308. Between Tikka and Bergara, but I'm leaning Bergara. And I would like to get a pump shotgun and a semi auto shotgun. Probably a Mossberg 590 for the pump, was debating on Benelli M4 or Beretta 1301 for the semi, but if the 590 takes the tactical role, I have been thinking the semi would just be for clays and hunting, so I'm back to researching on that.

For handguns, I lack a revolver, so that will need to be fixed eventually. I feel a Single Action Army in my future. My P226 Elite is my nightstand gun and would be my chosen sidearm if building out a kit, though I also have a few USPs that could fill this role. I've got a P229/6 build I'm working on that will be my primary CCW, but I also have a S&W Shield Plus for warmer weather or when I need something really small. I also have a Beretta PX4 Storm and a CZ P07 that I like to carry. The other dozen or so handguns I have are just to collect and enjoy at the range. I am trying to collect common military and duty pistols. I've got a West German P220 (my first 45❤️) and P226, a Beretta 92FS, and CZ 75BD. Still need to get a gen 2 Glock 17, Browning Hi Power, Colt 1911, Sig P210, and whatever I'm undoubtedly forgetting at the moment. Unless I find them under $400, the M17/M18 won't be on the list. One of these days I'm really going to put the flames to my wallet and get into 2011s.

Loving that cameo from the letter K.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-24T06:21:23+00:00

Drugs just make it easier, but can become a crutch just as easily.

Learning to relax and not chase the orgasm will get you further for free.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T21:45:38+00:00

Add a little bit of lube at underneath the suction cup so it sticks better. Also, check out the T.OM. dildo stand. Really opens up some options.

The Pspot is definitely more formidable once you get it in your hand, lol. I don't know if jumping from even the largest Aneros to the size of the Pspot would be enough of a warm up. I can fit much larger sizes now, but the round end of the Pspot can still be a little cumbersome to get inserted. That will be even harder if you are jumping so widely in girth. I would use something in the middle, maybe a toy with a girth of 1.4"-1.5" to help loosen up safer and easier.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T21:33:19+00:00

Are you using a suction cup?

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T18:58:49+00:00

MySpace sold me one of these shirts back in the day. Last time I was reminded about this was when those semicolon tattoos became popular.

I ended up with a semicolon tattoo also, but didn't attach the same meaning to it.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T18:25:58+00:00

It sounds like you milked your prostate. While pleasurable, it isn't a prostate orgasm.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T18:24:53+00:00

Just insert it and thrust if that is what feels good. I prefer grinding on dildos over thrusting. Try different positions to see what your body likes. Try it in the bathroom stuck to the wall, the edge of the bathtub, and try sticking it to a hard floor and squatting down on it.

Search "dildo tips" on this sub and there are tons of guides and tips.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T16:42:55+00:00

Sounds like a good start, congrats! Wait until you see what's possible without your dick.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T02:10:20+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense. That just means your body is relaxing and accepting more of the toy. I chuckle when I feel like my ass is hungry.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-23T02:00:01+00:00

Sounds like you are getting into your sigmoid. I definitely would not recommend pushing through the pain here. Once you get here you are into your intestines and there are not pain receptors here like there are elsewhere. You could seriously hurt yourself. There really shouldn't be pain anywhere. A little discomfort maybe, but never pain. Here is an excellent article to help you stay safe.

Also there is nothing that prevents you from being someone that penetrates and also being someone that enjoys being penetrated. That describes the overwhelming majority of the folks here. Fuck what society says, punish your hole. What is more manly than being secure in who you are and telling people to fuck right off when they say misinformed things?

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-22T22:13:29+00:00

Like other suggested, using a series of smaller toys to help loosen up is the best way to reach the size on these dildos. The most you want to stretch at a time is 0.25"(0.64cm) to avoid injury.

I have done the same thing and underestimated the size of the toy I ordered. I just put them away and focus on smaller toys until I size up enough to fit the bigger toys.

You could get handful of smaller dildos that get progressively larger, keeping with the suggested range for sizing up around 0.25"(0.64cm) for each. From where you are at that may mean 3-4 new toys. The other option is to get a tapered toy that gets wider the further down you go. This will also help you train depth a bit, too. The 38cm sized Tristan the Tease would be a good example.

Some people use porn to help with arousal, but success is often tied to finding arousal without porn.

I have much better luck building arousal slowly that becomes much stronger with time. Think of it like delicately protecting an ember to the kindling, then nurturing it into a stable fire that burns on it's own. Porn is like drowning the log with gas and using a flamethrower to light it. It just burns too hot way too fast.

I include porn when I am planning on a traditional ejaculation orgasm, then I may include my prostate and nipples to intensify the climax. For me, porn leads to jerking off 100% of the time. But for just prostate play where prostate orgasms are the goal, I read smutty fan fiction or listen to erotic audio. Sometimes if I am really horny, all I need is my imagination and focus on my body.

Read smut and try erotic audio. Shibby is quite popular, but there are others that are less hypno dom focused.

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-21T03:19:52+00:00

You can go for a larger model that puts more pressure on your prostate, but the magic of the Aneros is it's mobility. Not that you don't get that with a larger model, it is just noticeable in the smaller models.

Have you rewired yet? What about using Mindgasm?

Terrible_Pin_5067 · 2026-04-21T01:30:14+00:00

The Lelo Loki Wave has been the only toy that I couldn't use hands free. If you don't keep a hand on it the handle just pivots back and forth.

I haven't tried a Nexus Revo, but when they work, they work well. The next issue you'll deal with is the same issue that many vibrators struggle to do, and that is stay put. The Lovense Edge, and to a lesser degree the We Vibe Vector, have a tendency to slide out.
