I have posted 100's of times about what a great gun the 915 is. Each time I declare it to be one of the best value guns ever made and state that it is "everything you need in a combat sidearm and nothing you don't". I know this because the 915 was my very first duty gun. And while I only carried it for 3 years (before the department mandated we all carry the G19) it will always be one of my favorites. I shot that 915 all the time. In fact I stopped counting at 15,000 rounds. I shot duty ammo, reloaded ammo, re-manufactured ammo, bulk ammo, surplus ammo; it ate it all and just kept on running. And that 915 was dead on accurate. I used to put screws in golf balls, tie on some string, hang them from a fence and shoot them at 15-20 yards. I called it the Eyeball Drill. The 915 never failed to impress and was going to stay in my collection forever. That was until it was stolen out of a LGS about 6 months after being pulled from service (it was in for some milling and brand new Novak sights). And that was that, no more 915.
Then some 22+ years later (last week) I was given the opportunity to buy an LEO trade in 915 in mint condition for under $250. I snatched it up and here she is in all her glory. I already ordered some new night sights, but this time I am installing them myself. The more I handle the 915 the more I remember how awesome of a gun it really is. I can't wait to get out to the range so I can out it through its paces. I might even go pick up some golf balls! So the next time I comment on a 915, I will be doing so as a proud owner.
