I know it's not a toy by any means, but as an adult it can offer me as much enjoyment now as the GI Joe's did when I was just a boy. Being an owner of quite a few guns, and having a young nephew at the house quite regularly, I know the importance of safe gun handling at all times. I was just stating that sort of like the old saying "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."

Now as far as the Vertec goes, I wasn't under the impression that it was replacing the 92FS, but I guess that's a possibility. They also don't have the curved grip that the FS has, it's straight down the back of it. I liked the way the FS fit my had better than the Vertec, and the price difference is another huge factor for me. I don't think anything will ever completely replace the original. Step in the wrong direction IMO if that happens. As far as their shooting and handling goes, I'm sure it'd be every bit as good as the FS, but don't have any direct experience. The way I see it, though - a company don't stick around for 500 years, charging what they do for their product, if their product is junk.
