Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the SPS Pantera?

The SPS Pantera is a 2011-style, double-stack 9mm pistol with a 5-inch barrel and a 21+1 round capacity. It's known for its hand-fitted craftsmanship, smooth operation, full-length dust cover for balance, and a crisp trigger that facilitates quick follow-up shots, making it ideal for competition.

How does the Beretta 92 Elite LTT differ from a standard M9?

The Beretta 92 Elite LTT is an enhanced version of the 92 platform, featuring a significantly improved double-action/single-action trigger with a smooth pull and crisp reset, overcoming the M9's reputation for a less refined trigger. It combines the best elements of various 92 models for superior performance.

What are the main advantages and disadvantages of the Tisas Regent BR9?

The Tisas Regent BR9 offers the classic look and historical significance of the Browning High Power, a pioneering high-capacity 9mm. Its main disadvantage is an ergonomic flaw inherited from the original design: a gap near the rear sight that can bite the shooter's hand, especially with a high grip, and a slick front strap that can cause the gun to shift.

Which of the three reviewed handguns is considered the flattest shooting?

The SPS Pantera is highlighted as the flattest shooting of the three. Its substantial front-end weight, provided by the full-length dust cover and a 21-round magazine, combined with excellent balance, helps it return to the target quickly after each shot.
