  1. Just picked up my new sissy gun from Specialty Arms. CZ 75 Compact P01. I challenged the guy to sell me something else, and he didn't even try.
  2. kelemvor, Got a couple of good service pistols. Think I'll call around and see if there are any compacts on the shelf.
  3. Krull, The .40 S&W whipped the FBI's tail. :-) I can shoot my big 9's all day. Want something smaller that I like to shoot. Some extra weight doesn't bother me, because most of my carry will be the two pocket guns.
  4. Empty chamber, but I'm changing that after reading this thread. The lady in my security system tells me when a door opens, and which one, so there's time to chamber the gun. With that said, I'm thinkin' no warning is the best policy. Did y'all just hear that "clack clack"?
  5. Looking for a compact 9mm. I prefer a metal frame and DA/SA with decocker. Can anybody share their experiences with the CZ compact and sub-compact 9's? Already have light, small, and kicks like a mule covered with my 637 and LCP. Trying to add a little more quality to the statment "this is gonna hurt you more than it does me".
  6. Left or Right leaning, journalism is in the toilet these days. Cronkite is gone, and was replaced by Pee Wee Herman

    ARvsAK

    I will probably go for both, but the AR will be first. I hear thru the grapevine that AR's are coming down, and that's what i'm waiting for. friend of mine saw a Bushmaster M4 at Academy in Nashville a couple of weeks ago for significantly under $1k.
  8. The way I read it, it's about tax exemption for Interpol... Executive Order 13524 - Wikisource Public Law 79-291 - Wikisource. maybe I read it wrong.
  9. BTW... Specialty arms had both last time I was there. Good place to get both of them in your hands if you haven't already
  10. Here's a Randy Wakeman review on the Chuck hawks site. Ruger LCR I have handled the LCR and dry fired it (with permission). It feels good.
  11. I have a 700 long action in .270. Don't have any recommendation on chambering, but get the Jewell trigger. Best trigger I have on any of my rifles. Came factory set at 1lb., no creep, and no overtravel. May have to Dremel the inside of the stock some to make room for the safety mechanism.
  12. Funny stuff. Hope the crease heals
  13. That was fast. Now off to renew my NRA membership. Another bunch that really deserves my money.
  14. This is a great site. I'm new, but signing up for benefactor status now. I appreciate David's good work
  15. Can't go wrong with either one, so it's what you like best. I own a 637, and have played with the LCR. I like external hammers, which is one of the reasons I bought the 637.
  16. How do they go about disarming us if they get their way? "I would gladly give you my guns officer, but I misplaced them. I'll call if they turn up."
  17. I have a 637 and it kicks like a mule. I bought it because my favorite small revolver of all time was a Model 36 that I sold 20+ years ago (and have regretted it ever since). I shot it last summer with sweaty hands, and the Uncle Mike's grips were slick enough to make it difficult to control. Swapped the grips to the 36 style wood ones, but haven't had a chance to shoot it since. They feel a lot better. The S&W site says they're making the 36 again. Quite a bit more expensive than the 637.
  18. The LCP and, for that matter, the 637 aren't fun to shoot. No sane person could argue against any Glock if you can carry it comfortably. My fun guns are S&W service pistols (59 style), but they keep falling out of my back pocket :-)
  19. I had feed problems with my LCP when I first got it. Same thing, it would jam when hand cycling the action. Tooling marks on the feed ramp and inside the chamber were obvious. I just polished the feed ramp and chamber using the procedure for the P3AT (the LCP is a knock-off). Fixed the problem. The problem wasn't characteristic of the LCP. I just got a rough one, and was too impatient to wait for Ruger service at a time when they're making pitols faster than Congress is printing money. QC can be an issue with the best manufacturers these days Ruger won't void their warranty over a polish job, so it was safe to do. Don't know anything about Sig's policies. Just sayin' it could be an easy fix by a good pistol smith. A semiauto is worthless if it isn't reliable
  20. I have a Ruger LCP and a J frame Smith (637). Both are reliable and deadly, but the revolver has a lump. The LCP is smaller and much flatter and can be carried in your front or back pocket.
  21. There's some good stuff here while you're waiting for a reloading manual... Reloading Page

    What are these?

    The Browning is an SA-22. I bought one new this year, but they've been in production forever. Still listed on their web site. Designed by John Browning himself.
