I think many people find that their pistols prefer the added "push" of the 124 gr 9mm. It might make a difference when the gun is slowed down with dirt or in the cold. I'm not sure how they compare to the 115 gr in terms of IPSC power factor but it could be a consideration depending on the load. For the pennies involved, I stick with 124 gr myself. I've tried Wolf reloads, S&B and soon American Eagle. S&B is a good choice when they can be found. I bought AE only because my retailer (Lantz) didn't have S&B.

good eye!
Yah I bought alot of 115 grain for the Black Badge course.. sooo hopefully no malfunctions with that, switching over to 124 grain now though
Your wish will be granted, tonight around 11pm i'll do a little photoshoot with my Girsan and my IPSC gear
Prepare your minds for a massive post filled with glorious pictures.
to the point of the gun being a clone considering Girsan bought the building and the Machinery that Beretta owned and still is using for being a clone , for my opinion on that said if you look or even feel the Beretta and the Girsan at the same time quality wise hands down to Girsan and if anything I think Beretta copied Beretta lol .
trev82 can you PLEASE learn how to multi-quote people and edit your posts to put all of your thoughts into one post.
Nobody wants to see you post 3-4 times in a row.. Thank you.

Ok a little help...I'd PM it but in case anyone else doesn't know, here's a quick and dirty way to do it.
First for pics. Get a Photobucket account (or similar) and upload your pics to it. Once they are there if you look close you'll see the direct link box on the right. You can copy it and paste it into the box you get when you click on the Image tab on the reply toolbar (it's the fourth from the right, "insert image" appears if you hold your cursor over it). You can also right click on most images on the net and go to properties and copy the image URL from there.
As for replying to multiple replies you can just enter

Glad to help.
It can be a little confusing and sometimes a lack of knowledge and a little extra enthusiasm can result in unnecessary clutter.

I have Beretta factory wood grips on mine and they fit perfect.

I would like to attach a pic but i'm new to this computer stuff so have to figure out how to from file. It should be as easy to use as my Girsan.
upload it to Photobucket or imageshack and then use the URL in the 'insert image' box when you post
I use Photobucket which is easy when you get the hang of it. Once your images are uploaded, click on the one you want to post and then click on the image link which is one of the available options. That will copy the link and then you can paste it into the thread. There are several ways but I position the cursor and then press "Ctrl" and "V" which is the paste shortcut. For what it's worth, you can copy anything by highlighting it and then pressing "Ctrl and C" simultaneously. It becomes second nature after a while so don't get discouraged.
What is the frame of the stainless model made of? It is light compared to the slide. Is that aluminum? Is the frame material the same on both blued and stainless models? Is that durable enough to withstand sliding of the heavier steel slide if it is not real steel but some alloy? Just curious. Had a chance to handle the stainless steel one. Fit and finish seems superb.
Aluminium alloys are the alloys in which aluminum is the predominant metal, but not the only one.
There are many of the aluminum alloys out there though and the one that is used to make the frame must be very carefully chosen.
There is absolutely no surety that the alloy used for the frame on Girsan pistols is of the same quality, integrity and heat sensitivity as the one used by Beretta or SIG.
The most popular surface finish used on aluminum is hard-anodizing process. It offers greater corrosion and wear resistance.
Now, we also have not much information about the finish used on Girsan and we don't know if it is up to the level with Beretta.
From what I've seen it really isn't. Yes, it looks nice, but will it hold up? Time will tell.
