Initial trigger pull (double-action) of the 92FS is between 7.5 - 16.5lbs. You have to concede that it will make your first shot less accurate, unless you cock it back and fire it single action, which is I believe somewhere around 4 - 6lbs. Still a little heavy on the trigger.

I was infantry for 3 years then moved to a tank unit. I was not MOS qualified so I worked in the armory.
I am not saying U.S. Infantry training is **** but it definately is not what assfucker51 wants to believe it is.
I will say this. If he is in a Ranger Bat I take back everything I said but I suspect he is not. A typical FX is good training but it is alot more than firing a rifle. An FX will have some assault courses but getting there is the biggest part.

No...I was not in a Ranger Bat. I wasn't in the 18-series either, just to get that out of the way. But I really think that you have no idea what our training involves. There is a HUGE difference between Marine Infantry and US Army Infantry. I don't know what USMC vs US Army rivalry you bit into, but you're so very wrong.

EDIT::

Mod. Can we move the USMC vs Army nonsense to another thread so we can stop shitting up this guy's search for a decent sidearm?

I think the op gave up on this thread already. There is some much similarity in the training that I can join the Army and not have to go to infantry school again. USMC infantry school is patterned after Ranger school, though I will concede it probably isn't quite as tough. I really think that this is a silly argument so I won't post anymore on this subject. I also will say that I could have worded some things better than I did but I still stand by what I said.
