Just picked up a mak!
Academy in BR, on Airline has ammo. Monarch brand, steel case, made in Russia. The lacquered case and headstamp looks identical to the Brown Bear ammo, it's just repackaged. I looked a few days before Christmas and they had about 8 boxes; this store tends to keep it in stock. I haven't seen any... -

Refinishing a CZ 75 in Baton Rouge?
Hi, I recently picked up a rather scruffy looking old CZ 75 from Cole's Distributing on gunbroker. It seems to be in good functional condition, but looks like it was the old enamel finish, which chipped; and looking closer at it, it looks like someone did some home "touch ups" with some black...- sc00by

Where to find used holsters in BR area?
Right now, I'm looking for something to pair up with a Star model Super B, I know 1911 holsters work well. I have a number of other pistols, such as a hi power, several different CZ models, a 6 inch Hi Standard sport king, a pile of easten European makarov cal pistols, etc. I'm really looking... -

Where to find used holsters in BR area?
On any number of forums, you come across the comment that a local gun shop has a bucket of old, used holsters for cheap. I came across something like this in a pawn shop about a decade ago (and now that store is gone), but recently can't find anything. None of the actual gun shops I've been to... -

BUG / Pocket Pistols
Nobody ever wants to be that close, but it happens... a lot. Don't think so? Next time you go get some gas, take a look at your line of sight regarding the pump. Take a buddy with you, and tell him to circle the pump while you fill up; even when you know he's there/coming, you'll be stunned at... -

Found 22 LR ammo
I got the Cabelas deal on the Blazer, it was 500 rd brick, $27.99, $38 shipped. Considering that Cabelas is around 45-50 miles round trip and I have no other needs from them right now, I'm ok with the shipping price. I put in the order friday, and got a shipping confirmation today. Was a limit... -

Botach.com
I have read a lot of negative reviews (after googling around some) about botach. My experience, for what it's worth: I found them about a year ago, when they had some great deals on boots. I picked up a pair of Bootistans for about $40, and I absolutely love these. I simply can't wear them...- sc00by

High capicity .45
Was weight a factor in the final choices? If you want to consider steel (which is heavier), the CZ 97B seems like an excellent gun; based on the CZ 75 design. Every review I've read praises it highly. On the negative side, it may be pretty heavy to carry; on the plus side you should be able to... -

Number 2 for the CZ collection
9x18 is a hotter round than .380, and way hotter than .32 or anything else like you normally see in a small blowback pistol. They are some snappy little shooters. I own 2 other makes (an East German Makarov and a Hungarian PA 63), and the CZ is heaviest and mildest of the bunch. The PA 63 stings... -

Pistol of choice.
I keep my CZ 82 nearby while in my truck. Perfect combination of size (small), capacity (12 rd double stack), build (all steel, reliable and solid as a tank), and price (under $200 fully dressed). On my nightstand is my CZ 75 pre-B with an 18 rd mag. Got an old Eastfield 916 12 gauge pump with... -

Number 2 for the CZ collection
Congrats on the 82- I love mine. Smaller, but solid as a rock. I also got a 75 pre-B, and it remains my single favorite in my collection (it just feels perfect in my hand). It still amazes me that I was able to pick them both up for a hair under $500 combined :D CZ's are dangerous- they're... -

Number 2 for the CZ collection
Look around for the VZ 50 and/or VZ 70, they are in .32 ACP. Used to be fabulous bargains, at or under $100. http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=53911.0 -

Number 2 for the CZ collection
Wow, I passed on these back in the day (I ended up with 2 Tokarevs instead, for $150 and $75 respectively; and proceeded to grab Makarov-chambered pistols instead of further Tok ones). Regardless of the big price jump, it's a solid steel gun with good heritage, you should be pleased. I might... -

Beretta 92SF Police Trade-in at JG... worth it?
Updated- I ran the serial through Beretta's site, and my pistol was made in '95 and issued to LAPD. I made a couple inquiries and got the following information- the LAPD requires a 30 rd qualification every 2 months. So, if the pistol was in "active duty", that means a minimum of 180 rounds... -

Beretta 92SF Police Trade-in at JG... worth it?
Mine made it to my FFL on the 30th, and I was able to go pick it up today. Was in need of some serious cleaning up, which I did. Internals looks good, sharp rifling. There's moderate wearing of the frame finish along the edges, including one fairly large scuff. The slide looks good, maybe some...
