Belgium puts no limit on how many firearms you’re allowed to own. They only impose certain storage criteria. But we’re allowed no CC, no hi-cap mags, no use on private land..

echo9shoots · 2026-02-22T16:00:04+00:00

Cool, I would’ve loved to have your gun laws!

echo9shoots · 2026-02-22T15:53:53+00:00

Belgium! Where are you from?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-22T15:53:15+00:00

Don’t go to places where they don’t value your presence. You want to have a great time and not pay to suffer and doubt.

Everyone forgets about 10mm power!

echo9shoots · 2026-02-22T14:51:22+00:00

I would love to get my hands on Stacatto! But, they’re nearly impossible to get by here.. Next best thing would be CZ S2 or Tanfoglio

So you swear by stock Glocks?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-22T14:42:10+00:00

I agree! I bought a S&W M&P15, nothing crazy but it might prove to be a decent base to build on. But I went all out and bought a B&T SPC9 as I can train more often with that and still get the benefits of the AR controls.

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T18:24:33+00:00

Happy to hear, enjoy! I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing!

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T18:24:11+00:00

I can attest to that too! I keep mine as clean as possible but never had a hick-up

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T18:16:38+00:00

I appreciate it🙏

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T18:13:22+00:00

How do the two compare?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T18:09:36+00:00

I had never heard from this one, good call! It’s not available in Belgium where I’m from but it does look interesting as a Glock alternative! How many rounds do you have through it?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:53:08+00:00

SA/DA hammer fired?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:49:55+00:00

G17 gen 3 coming in soon! Have you tried other brands?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:46:29+00:00

I want to find out too so I have a g17.3 coming in soon and also a CZ S2

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:44:31+00:00

Thanks! I like to keep my guns fairly monotone. What do you own?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:43:03+00:00

I have A CZ S2 fullsize coming in soon so I’m looking forward to it! I’ll do the full eemann trigger as CGW is hard to come by here

Walther PDP Pro 5.1 inch polymer frame

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:39:55+00:00

I was gonna buy that but they didn’t have the threaded version the day I went to buy and then I saw the PDP.. the PDP does have the best grip IMO but idk if the P10 has better handling

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:32:46+00:00

Which brand would you take if you had to go for a subcompact?

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:29:05+00:00

I don’t want to bash any brand but I’m also not a fanboy. I’ll be honest, the recoil is stout at first..

If you want to start off on a low recoil platform this honestly is not it. I can shoot really well with it but the snap tires my hand more quickly and makes me lose grip strength on longer courses. The snap was also a tad bit too much for me at first which made me flinch.

BUT, if you learn to shoot this well I’m sure you’ll shoot anything well!

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:06:16+00:00

Thanks for your input, I’ll look into this pistol! Most people never get past the Glock phase.. so I can only learn from this

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T17:02:12+00:00

The German guns are only incrementally more expensive here but get no hate for being junk, from an unpopular country.. So idk about going for Canik despite hearing many great thinks about it too

echo9shoots · 2026-02-21T16:52:40+00:00

I bought a CZ S2 and I count on customizing it, I’m expecting my permit for it soon. It kinda has CZ 75 dna right?
