Gunsmithing (no politics)
Caspian Sea Monster:
All three 92F/FSs I've fired ran flawlessly right out of the box. I also found them pleasant to shoot, though I still like the Ruger P85/89 better. Then everybody likes to bring up the slide breakage thing, neglecting that that happened on a badly abused 92 with a VERY high round count and after swallowing a lot of +P ammo, which it is not rated for. (Neither is the BHP, so I don't see that as a big deal.)
ETA: I believe the plural of pegasus is pegasii.
Noxx:
I should point out that while the autos I've listed have always done well, my carry gun that I rely on to absolutely never fail no matter what, is a Smith 642

You believe wrong. It's pegasi. -us becomes -i*, so only -ius becomes -ii.
*Sometimes -us becomes -uses, like viruses. Most -us nouns are 2nd declension. Latin has five declensions, but fourth and fifth declension nouns are much less common. Virus is a fourth declension noun.
Grognard:
I've fired P85s... they FEEL like the prototypes they are.
My P89 and its variant brothers are just Kalashinkov-style rugged simple.
As for Sigs. they're ok... but I dislike the magazine release safety.
Smith 642. Airweight/snubby?
good gun.

The plural of virus isn't virii? I've been lied to all these years... I don't even know what to believe anymore! :psyduck:
