Bang Shootie conversation

[GVF]

I have the Sig variation - P232 in stainless. Also have the Bursa sister version (Firestorm). in addition to the PPK I'd like to grab a Beretta 85 Cheetah. Basically the round up of .380 blowback guns. Completely impractical but cool as hell.

There was a Beretta 85 Cheetah at the Pawn Store/Gun Store here in Cookeville a while back. Strong possibility it has found a new owner. It was a sweet pistol. I'm a total Beretta fan. And came with a high price tag at that store as well ($800+). It was in excellent condition. The only thing I did not like verses other Berettas and other .380's was the racking. The Cheetah has an extremely difficult and stiff slide. I had trouble with it, but the 92FS was always easy to me. I have seen several Cheetahs on Gun Broker.

You’ve never seen one of those?
How do you work on and clean your firearms?

I have two shotguns and a pistol. I clean them by hand. When not in my hands, they’re laid out on a cloth atop a table.

Well the contraption is for 2 things. It works as a vise and you can shoot a target to sight it in.

I am looking at building a G19.

I thought about it but I’m slowly putting a 1911 together instead.
What caliber are you thinking? 45acp?

No, my friend. I was identifying.

Sidebar: Decades ago, I was in a jazz club listening to Eddie Harris perform with bass, drums, and keyboard session men. I was seated at a table directly across from Eddie. He did a percussion solo on the keys of his sax that stunned even the drummer. When he got around to playing his tune, Bad Luck Is All I Have, my table chimed in with a minor chord. He admonished us, "Identify. Do not harmonize." We obliged on the next chorus.
