Sounds like a good choice to me. Found this too.

Anyone that chooses a Glock as the "top choice" is being paid to do so.

TFM don't post hot-links from questionable websites on here.....

If you don't know ask or don't post the links.....

Sure thing. If you had to choose a few, what .40 weapons would you consider?

Don't read much on here do you?

Now I'm betting some one on here might know what I think is a good .40 weapon system..... :rolleyes:

USP .40 :lifter

OOOH OOOH...... I know!!! No I don't, but I'm sure it has something to do with German engineering. :D

Personally, I'd take the 5-7 over the Glock, cause re-sale prices are higher and I could afford another toy, say a good scope for my FN PBR. :cool:

I try, but the wife starts complaining that I spend too much time on the computer:D
plus there is soooo much to read.

They are nice. I have heard more than one gunsmith complain that it has to many moving parts (action swithes) IIRC, therefore, more things to go wrong. The bias there may be that it poses more complication for them to work on. Because of that they said they preffered the glock. Only .40 I ever had was a Firestar. Didn't get to shoot it much either, but I did like it.

INTERVENTION......We need to get you stateside and show you some real hardware in 40cal. :D

Firestar is good for the price IMHO......that's it. Sorry, saw one go full auto on the range after the sear broke. Gentleman explained that it happened twice before. It was a .380 so it wasn't too bad to control, just scary to watch. :eek:

Yea, I probably ain't gonna see much here with these laws.

That IMHO is a bullshit theory

The next time you post something as stupid as this you will be banned.

"I have heard" does not cut it here. If you lack experience don't post. In fact don't post again until I tell you.

I have a firestar in 40 S&W, a surprising good little hand gun. It is all steel and weighs a bit. The weight is a down side on conceal carry, similar to a full size auto, but a plus for reduce felt recoil. A good shooter too. I bought it on the recommendation of another shooter I knew. His preformed equally well.

I own a Firestar in 9mm and I love it. It is one of the most fun and functional handguns that I own, or have fired. Its barely larger than my Walther PPK/S yet it holds the same amount of ammo and in a more substantial caliber. The solid steel construction is nice as well. I'm not a big fan of polymer frame firearms (personal preferance only) and I like the fact that it feels like a beefy gun for as small as it is. That feature also helps to greatly reduce felt recoil.
I have also had pleasant experiences with a firestar in .45acp that a friend of mine owns. They are generally inexspensive when you can find them and very reliable. The only downside is if you need replacement parts they are hard to find in some cases. Magazines however, are not as hard to find or exspensive as one might expect. At least the last time I checked anyways.

Hate to necropost, but after firing one of these with the Saudi NG (they're using it - though they haven't been in combat since the Battle of Khafji) the other day I came here first for any info.

To be honest, and I'm sure others who have fired it will relate, I felt like I was at a county fair shooting the star out of the middle of the paper. It's cute, but I'm glad I don't have it as MY primary weapon.
