Eeewww....so last night I cleaned my Beretta 96 with my new FP-10. Carried it today, and had a little stain from the FP on my undershirt! No big deal, as its just an undershirt, but I do NOT want this to be a common occurrence, nor do I want to risk soiling clothes I care about!!! (Like the new...

WOW. Just get some!!! I just got my free sample, and although I think they temporarily suspended that for a while, you can buy a 1oz. bottle for barely over $2!!! SO worth it! This stuff is GREAT! Just cleaned my Beretta with it (not really dirty, already clean, just been a while since I've...

Just doing some "California dreaming" in case the ban really does get lifted. Which would you choose and why: AR-15 Mp5 Mac-10 Thanks! Drjones

OK. So I did some more tinkering around, and here's what I found. The problem of the hammer not falling under max. trigger pull occurs when there is any pressure on the trigger bar on the side of the gun. I tested thoroughly with my blued 96, and not a hitch. Took the grips off, pressed HARD...

Hi. My new Stainless 96 came with a polymer guide rod. I think I would like a metal one to match the finish. Does Beretta sell them at their online proshop? Does anyone here have one that they would sell/trade? Any performance advantage to steel or polymer either way? Thank you Drjones

When can you put your hand on your gun? I mean, I was watching a news story about a local situation that almost turned into a riot, and lots of cops were on scene. Personally, if I was a cop in such a situation, I would want my hand on my weapon, ready to go. I don't mean casually resting...

Isn't it sort of ridiculous to sit and debate which bullet is THE absolute BEST ballistically? There seems to be so much debate about this vs. that vs. those. Specifically, I'm talking about Hollowpoint self-defense rounds. There are plenty of people who use Hydra-Shoks, Gold Dots, and other...

Ok. So I've been dry-firing and playing with my problematic 96 all afternoon. The only time I can get the problem to occur is when I squeeze the trigger firmly, but sort of push the trigger to the left side of the frame as I'm pulling it. I'm right handed, so holding in my right hand, I pull...

I was thrilled to pick up my new 96 stainless today. My blued one has been getting lonely... :p Had a strange problem. When firing from DA, (hammer down) quite often, the hammer would not fall after moving fully backwards. I would sit there and keep pressure on the trigger, and squeeze harder...

This happened to me in a dream last night... You are walking along in a residential neighborhood at dark. You are with one other person. Close friend/family/whatever. You notice a rather large german-shepherd type dog come out from behind some trees about 50 ft. away. He starts trotting at...

I dunno if its just my range, but all they have for distance is (I think) 25 ft. for pistols, (probably more, I just can't remember for sure) and 100 ft. min. for rifles. This does me NO good for practicing firing for SD. (Pistol and 12ga.) I'm not trying to be a sniper here!!! Are your...

Pro-gun control? Today I recieved, and am reading, "Nation of Cowards" by Jeff Snyder. Wow. Not preachy or opinionated, just disassembling piece by piece, and disposing of, gun-control arguments. GREAT read. However, if all you feed yourself is information in agreement with what you already...

1) What do you use to wipe down the exterior of your carry piece? Plain ol' gun oil? Militec? Does whatever you use get on your clothes at all while carrying? 2) What are silicone cloths? One was included in my cleaning kit. Are you supposed to add lubricants to it first? Or is it ready to go...

It just occurred to me that human beings are the only creatures on the planet that need to protect themselves from members of the same species. Sure, some animals may fight over territory or females, but humans are the only animals who need to protect themselves from random, purposeless acts...

I primarily use Militec-1 for lubing my guns. Seems to work well. However, I think I want to try some other stuff. Is it necessary to clean the gun of the prior lube before applying different lube? Does it matter if the two mix? The other lube I want to try is just plain Hoppe's #9 oil...

Hi. Is ammo damaged by cycling it through a gun too much? Obviously, defense guns are kept loaded at all times...for example, my Mossberg pump and Beretta, but I have special defense loads for each, and remove them before going to the range. Is it possible to damage ammo by cycling it too...

Hi. I was cleaning my Beretta 96 after my first shoot, and for some reason (wasn't thinking, I guess) I rubbed the outside of the barrel with bore cleaner. It seemed to lighten the color a bit, definitely noticeable. When I wipe it down with Militec, it goes back to the regular color and stays...

Beretta 96. 1) Safety on 2) Pointed in safe direction 3) Pull back slide just enough to verify round in chamber. (YES, I know about the indicator, but I just want to double-double check) 4) Let slide back to full forward position 5) Safety off Is this an ok way to verify round in chamber...

1) When I carry my Beretta 96 (black), I notice some condensation from sweat. I wipe away the sweat immediately whenever I notice it, and wipe down the gun regularly (every day, maybe every other day) with Militec. Will the sweat harm the finish? *Would my Stainless 96 be better suited for...

Wow. So I just got this holster: http://www.action-direct.com/defender.htm All I can say is WOW. Carries my full size Beretta 96 like a champ! I can barely tell its there! Also holds a spare mag in an easily accessible fashion. No "pocket" like thunderwear; its an actual holder. Keeps the mag...
