Has My Girsan Regard 9mm Held Up?

It has been about two years since I took the first shots with the Grisan Regard 9mm pistol. How has it held up?

I purchased my Girsan because the price was so good. I have since ditched my Glock 17 and have switched to the Regard as my battle pistol and my every day carry. The other day I purchased the Beretta M9 A4. I still cannot believe that the $1000 dollar M9 needs upgrades to it to match the trigger of the Regard!

[@CloverTac]

i do have a Beretta 84 in my EDC rotation but not sure i wanna carry any of my full size 92 stuff. but whatever works and yeah, i agree, you really gotta go pretty high end Beretta to get something as good as the Regard.

[@chaff5]

My understanding is that Girsan is so closed to the 92/M9 family that the LTT trigger in a bag will drop into as well. I might need to jump on this band wagon. I wish they would make compact though.

[@CloverTac]

there are a lot of Beretta internals that will pretty much drop in... minor fitting at worst

[@DeimosPC]

@@chaff5 You can still find beretta compacts under 400, you've just gotta look around.

[@wheelguns4wheelmen802]

Good video and glad yours has been chugging along just fine. I just posted my 2000 review of my Regard MC Sport Gen 4. Much better than many factory Betettas. Great value given the price. The only mild annoyance stemmed from Girsan changing the distance between grips screws and changing the specs of the locking block (which as you noted was for a reason). But most parts are still interchangeable.

[@CloverTac]

i hear ya on the grips and hopefully there will be some aftermarket options out there soon... been trying to help make that happen for a month or so now

[@paulwalker7202]

I only shoot 147 grain hand loads suppressed. this is an AWESOME suppressor host. I bought the trigger spring kit, beretta hammer, g parts kit ( mine came with a safety instead of decocker), and a metal hammer spring cap. I have a cgs mod9 with a griffin armament camlock. this is the sweetest setup for a 9mm pistol.

[@CloverTac]

well, mr fancy pants over here 🤣😂❤

[@paulwalker7202]

@@CloverTac well, after getting hosed by the government for a $200 tax stamp I was trying to get a budget friendly 92s. all in all i spent an extra $90 and came out with a real beretta hammer, a better trigger than a beretta and the decocker. we won't talk about what I spent on extra mec-gar mags

[@BaddFrogg777]

An amazing platform and design. Excellent thorough review. Extremely well executed.Thank you for taking the time.The GIRSAN and the CANIK have an exellent place in the US market. And rightfully so. Quality at an amazing price. Stay safe, Cheers

i am yet to own a Canik, though i have shot them on many, many occassions.... and yeah i agree, they are pretty solid

Huge Girsan Regard fan, they are amazing!! I own 3 flavors of the regard! I also have the Taurus and Beretta 92 style guns... they are my favorite! thanks for the video, and glad to see everything is working great at 1000 rounds, looking forward to the 2000/2500 update!

do you know of any conceal holster for the girsan mc r9?

[@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074]

@@mitch5114 Order for the Beretta because you won’t find Girsan listed. I have a compact version with the rail so I just order the Beretta equivalent. Fit is perfect. Concealment Express make a decent holster, a little cheaper than a Tier 1 or TRex.

[@RidersRange]

Thanks for the nice quick update.

[@Capt_Killingfield]

After that fourth round I said, "Wow." Good shooting! I haven't really accuracy tested my Regard MC on paper, but I usually hit what I aim at. My personal Regard has slight barrel wobble while in battery that kinda disturbs me, especially since the sights are on the slide and not the barrel. We'll see..

[@CloverTac]

yeah the sight wobble thing is weird

[@kritizismmusics9737]

I changed the barrel lug lock to fix it and when my wallet wasn't dieing I got a nice barrel beretta made

[@kritizismmusics9737]

​@@CloverTacI don't normally see wobble unless it's 1 outa like every 10. Or maybe I'm oblivious

[@Conradtactical1]

The Girsann Regard looks like a decent and reliable pistol. I just bought a Girsan Regard Yaviz 16 MC. The quality is excellent. The first thing that stood out for me was the mag release and mag drop. It's much smoother and faster than the Beretta 92. The slide is smoother as well. I really think it will take a part of the market just as Canik surprised us.

[@CloverTac]

well considering Girsan has been knocking it out of the park now for many years... i was say if you are surprised it is only because you are late to the party 🤣😂 same can be said if someone was to say that about Canik, right? so welcome to the dark side my friend.

[@RickNethery]

The Beretta M9 is my all time favorite pistol. I had always wished it would become a firearm that was produced by many manufacturers like the 1911 and AR 15 were. Glad to see at least two companies are making copies. Another pistol I really like is the Beretta 84 Cheetah although those are hard to find and expensive when you do.

[@CloverTac]

heck yeah, gotta 84 in my EDC rotation, love it

[@wbwills2]

84s are nothing but the truth as far as 380s go .IMHO. Hope to find a good deal on a surplus one some day. Love my plain 81(not a BB or any of those variants) 100% reliable with recommend 71 gr.ball. beautiful condition,dealers choice (don’t pay extra for hand pick .you get what they grab & put in the box I think)+ came with brand new looking beretta grips swapped them out for red&black LOK thin checkereds. Same set going on 84 when I find one. I know 80(70s series.?.technically I have heard.??.)a 32 & all about stopping power scenarios. Bears on meth ,PCP ect. . I have all the what if’s bouncing around in my scull too….just like most. in my opinion I have 2 words that trump all that. Shot placement. I carry my 32 some & am ok with it. That’s just me. S/D decock would be better. Don’t care fir safeties that can & do switch themselves on so if you have one that you carry you need to train like safety is on. . Like frame mounted decok the most. If I have a choice that’s it. This brand has some high value 1911s im hearing.I want 1st 1911 & going Clasic GI 5” style. As far as carrying. Shooting all sorts of guns is fun but having 1 Cary gun or at least the same design & function is good. Bad stuff happens fast. Don’t have time for fiddling around with extra switches ect. Everything same place ,same stuff. Takem easy

[@Qwijebo]

Very nice gun, I had two. But since I currently live in Canada I had to sell them before they were deemed illegal. Couldn't take them to the range or anything. Paperweights really. But a nice, clean and precise firearm. Up here the Beretta was priced at $2900, so I opted for the Girsan. Can't wait to move back to Ohio.

[@CloverTac]

hope you get the opportunity to get out of that place quick as you can my friend... i would not know how to live without firearms in my life

[@Qwijebo]

Funny enough when I was living in Ohio I had a nice collection. Moving to Canada was a mistake. The restrictions and rules are insane. @@CloverTac

[@CloverTac]

there were bad a long time ago, have friends up that way BUT yeah, they definitely ramped up lately though

[@scottthomson9813]

?? They aren't illegal in Canada. You can still own pistols and go to a range whenever you like.

[@gcanada3005]

What are you talking about, "couldn't take them to the range or anything". That's an absurd statement. Yes Trudeau has stopped transfers of handguns, but you are very much allowed to take your guns to the range. If you had them before the freeze. Or if you have a restricted license and borrow someone else's. So not sure where you are getting your information or if you really aren't Canadian. Are you trying to make the situation look worse than it is. Either way please stop spreading blatant falsehoods, it helps nothing especially our(not your obviously) cause. I'm so tired of people lying online and calling it truth

[@hothamandfauri]

I just bought the Girsan Regard MC BX with a Dark Earth finish. The gun seems awesome and it shoots great! I have only run about a little over a box of ammo through it so far. But i have noticed that certain areas on the gun already have wear spots. Spots where the paint has already started chipping. They are all wear spots, so that is understandable. I am just curious as to how well everyone elses finish has held up after shooting alot of rounds through it? Will the finish hold up over time?

[@CloverTac]

i have no wear on mine i would not consider normal given the circumstances. finishes are a big problem now days across all sorts of manufacturers. in the old days you had bluing/parkerizing (various forms), stainless. anodizing and plated (say nickle plated). those are all much more robust methods of finish than the application of "paints" that you see now days. if you want a variety of cool colors, just something that you sorta have to deal with i guess at some point.

Nice shooting

[@desertstvrm]

I just got mine yesterday, haven’t shot it yet but I seen reviews on it that sold me on it. I want to get an optic put on it. Now I see on their website they have the mount, but how do I know that will fit on mine without the mount? And does anyone know of other mounts that fit perfectly?

[@CloverTac]

so to my knowledge (and EAA/Girsan are friends) they do not use mounts, the slides are milled for optics. the only other way you can go to add optics is to use a dovetail mount and i don't know of many of those that look good on any model handgun, let along something with all the curves that the Girsan has.
