[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1464909, member: 229"] This is the old M9 that RobC built out of a commercial M9 frame and a crapload of GI parts. Then it was Dr Jekyll (Soulman now)'s gun. Soulman was gracious enough to sell it to me and the first thing I did was get a set of Aluma-grips and a thread-protector for the commercial barrel. Its got a GI slide/barrel (and a commercial barrel that Rob had threaded), as well as a GI hammer/trigger/GI Metal Guide rod (and a plastic guide rod), and GI grips (with several GI mags and a 92FS LEO mag). [attach=full]87195[/attach] [attach=full]87196[/attach] My first experience shooting this gun was not a good one. It would not cycle very well and it got worse the more I shot it. I stopped shooting it because I was just out for a quick test and didn't have any gun-oil with me (that's what I chalked it up to). Got home and oiled it up and it still did the same thing - turns out that when I held the trigger down, it made the slide drag very badly but without doing that, the slide cycled freely. I went to sleep (that seems to be when I do my best trouble-shooting - while sleeping) and remembered that I had put a set of Aluma-grips on it and wondered if they were not allowing the trigger-bar to move freely - turns out that's exactly what it was so about 5 mins with a file and the problem was fixed (the GI grips had a channel in them for the trigger-bar to move inside that was just a touch larger than the Aluma-grips had). This gun has an amazing trigger for a Beretta (D/A and S/A are both awesome) and other than the Beretta bite when cycling the slide (its like a damn guillotine - it got me twice the other day when cycling it with my hand on top - pinched the crap out of me and drew blood both times), I have no complaints at all. Other than the trouble-shooting required by my after-market fancy grips, I've had a good experience with this gun so far and its one of those keepers that I'll probably never get rid of. [/QUOTE]
