    I have 4 Cabela's boxes and none of them provides a reliable seal. And one deformed so badly that the cover doesn't even match the bottom part to form a seal. And I store them in a dry and cool crawl space in my garage, so the deformation wasn't provoked in any way. So, 50 cal. surplus cans are the best.

    I have Bersa Thunder 380 for a couple of years now. Overall a nice variation of Walther PP/PPK family.

    From the quality point of view I had an issue with the disconnector spring that made me send it for warranty repair 3 times. If you google the Bersa Thunder 380 and disconnector spring you'd see that it is rather common. But the customer service is good. I am not sure if I can trust my life to this but on the other hand I do not believe in selling firearms unless absolutely necessary :) All together I have about 500 rounds through it.

    I am a typical weekend shooter and it is more of a recreational activity to me than a real sport, however I always wanted to stop by and take a look at USPSA events at my club (Old Bridge) So, your perspective on these guns is way different than mine, but very interesting indeed.

    If my permit wouldn't be expiring in about 2 weeks I'd definitely explore the competitive aspect of it more. But since the time-frame is also a factor I will have to base my decisions on the information I am getting from you guys and I have to say - I really appreciate the advices I am getting and the different perspectives that I didn't even think about! Thanks!

    I would assume the Witness would be very close to CZ, and I am looking for a different platform. Not because I don't like CZ - just want to expand to another.

    I should probably try the wide body 1911 - maybe they would fit better. SIG's are out of the price range I have in mind as well as the higher end 1911s.

    I handled FNP at Firearms Guild and it fits well. Obviously I should try it first since the 1911 feels great too - I just can't hit anything with it :)

    And I think I still need to take a closer look at Stoeger Cougar. All steel, hammer, rotating barrel... sounds interesting.

    Thanks for the advice, I guess I would need to research a few more. CZ97 should be good - I already have CZ75 but would probably look for something different since I think they will be too similar. XD45 - tried it in .40 and wasn't impressed. I wonder if M&P would be very similar to XD, but will try it out. Beretta/Stoeger Cougar is something definitely worth checking out - somehow missed that.

    I am a member there. It actually was my first choice since it is very close to my house - less then 10 minutes. The outdoor range is nice, very few people on the weekdays and after 2-3 pm on weekends. Indoor range doesn't have the automatic reels, but I have never seen more than 3-4 lines occupied so usually you don't have to wait too long to change your targets. There are always some competition activities at the outdoor range in the morning on the weekends and this is a good opportunity for you to stop by and check it out.

    Actually always wanted to ask - should I try to clean the magazine in Mosin or K98 every time? Does the corrosive stuff get in contact with the the magazines, followers etc.?

    Another question - how do you clean the chamber? I spray it with one of the action cleaner sprays and follow with the usual routine while cleaning the bore, but not always sure if I cleaned it enough.

     

    Thanks!

    The First and Third Saturday of each month, Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club has a USPSA Tutorial at their Indoor Range. (SEE BELOW )

     

    OBCATS Web Site Here!!!

     

    "OBCATS also holds an indoor action shoot on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month. Set-up and Sign-in starts about 6:30, First Shot is about 7:30. This is an informal USPSA-like match shot on our indoor range. We run 4 stages and are usually done by 11pm. Cost is $5 for an Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club member and $20 for a non-member. This is an excellent place to get started in Action Shooting. We run a short tutorial to explain the basics of the rules, a bit of history and a little about scoring. We then give you a safety check and pair you with an experienced shooter to guide you through your match. "

     

    The Indoor Match Director is Eric Wiemer. You can contact him at [email protected] Directions

     

    Can you clarify - is it Friday or Saturday?

    I have Bersa 380 and while I like the gun overall it failed 3 times and required warranty service for a very same reason - faulty disconnector spring.

    I could understand if it happens once... but 3 times is too much for a gun you may use in self-defense.

    So, do your research before you buy!

    Actually if I'm not mistaken they have an "End of Evil Empire" event at Cherry Ridge on 30th. That would include a few different stages shooting everything ComBloc. Mosins, AK's, TTs, 1895 Nagants, Makarov's, SVD's, DshK's, T-34's, SS20's... the list goes on.
