CZ 75, Which one?
That will be tough to do. Only a few were released so far as I know. Soon though. While the availability on CZ products is tough... they are amazing values.

CZ 75, Which one?
Not too sure on the CZ DA, but the omega triggers I have played with, was not a fan. If you want something on the smaller side, don't be afraid to look at their polymer guns, the CZ P07 and the new P10c.

Springfield Armory and RRA are traitors to 2A
My understanding, at least the very very brief look, it would prevent them from manufacturing unless they go through that licensing too, so not just sales in IL. Will try to reach out to the folks who were at Springfield to find out, if they are still there.

Springfield Armory and RRA are traitors to 2A
I doubt it is a publicity stunt... but A is likely. More than that, I think their statement is true. They are part of the association, and likely hundreds of others. They cannot control what the association spokesperson says. It would be like saying ANJRPC speaks for EVERY manufacturer and FFL in the state.

Springfield Armory and RRA are traitors to 2A
Here is the thing though, put yourself in the CEO's position. Would anyone shut down their business in order to stand up for it? While Springfield and RRA are the biggest there, it effects all gun manufacturers. How many thousands of jobs would be lost while fighting the anti's? Look, avoid Springfield or RRA for poor products or what not, but for doing what they think is best for their employees? Tough call. Looking being just the IL gun manufacturers, how many thousands of others would be out of work who support Springfield products down the pipeline. The gun marketing people, the distribution chains, etc. Think of the manufacturers that support the shooting sports. While I handled the sponsor stuff for USPSA, Springfield was the FIRST offer guns for all the matches, without even sending shooters or demanding anything. Springfield also sent the most swag out of anyone and that helped ensure that everyone got something. They also take care of folks at Shot Show and matches... want 40% off all hosters and accessories they offer? yep, gave out discounts. Springfield was, at the time I worked with them, the most generous manufacturer when it came time to support the shooting sports, even though their products were not all that prevalent or popular. And let's be honest, Smith & Wesson and Ruger also sold out the gun communities. Kimber, and all the other NY manufacturers too? Be pissed off at the Anti Gun crowd that forced gun manufacturers into that position in the first place.

Springfield Armory and RRA are traitors to 2A
Unfortunately most gun owners won't care I think? I think they were doing the right thing for the owners of the companies and what would help them in the short term. in the long term, they are just hurting the 2A community. In either case, I would not be surprised if they left the state shortly. 9 firearms transfers per year? Damn, that is a slow month for some members here. lol.

Boxing Fans?
I was excited about heavyweight but you have everyone ducking Luis Ortiz, and well, Wilder is a nobody. Am quite excited about light heavyweight although am still quite pissed off with the completely rigged call on Ward vs Kovalev. In what world is a challenger given the decision after getting knocked down by the champ and never actually doing any harm? Robbery. On the flip side, I actually think Jacobs beat GGG, as much as I love GGG.

Resale values shocked me
This is where I would say you need to develop a relationship with a dealer and subscribe to the marketplace here. Plenty of really good used guns out there and if the FFL knows what you are looking for, they can shop for guns with you in mind. To give you two examples, right now on the forum you have a Ruger GP100 Match for $550? whereas I just saw it new for $750 or so, and Tactical Training Center has 3 guns listed in their section, used, like new for quite a bit below market value.

Resale values shocked me
Heh, try looking at Colt revolver prices. =)

Does anyone even get replies for "Firearm Price Request"?
Orange, it is an issue and part of it is that many vendors are not in your part of the state. Am working on a solution to this. However please note, there are not 19 FFL's on the forum, many of those are just accessories or trainers.

44 Mag Desert Eagle problems
First gen of Desert Eagle was in 1985? Wow... time flies. lol... I was 3 years old. For some reason I keep thinking of the DE as a modern gun, ie late 90's on.

Best fixed stocks for ARs ?
Nope, I had to google it too.

Best fixed stocks for ARs ?
Forgot to add, one of the best I had was a Vltor fixed stock. Here is the new version. https://www.vltor.com/shop/ar/stocks/arm-rifle-stock/

Best fixed stocks for ARs ?
I had both, the Ace and now the Magpul Fixed Carbine. For a shorter guy/gal, the Magpul FC is pretty nice. Good build quality for the price and has a shorter length of pull. For a smaller rifle, ie 14.5+ brake and lower and on the lighter side, not a problem. With heavier rifles, you will have a big balancing issue. The Ace, I had the fixed full length, was a great stock. A pain in the butt to slide on the foam piece, but was good. A tad long for my taste... but solid.

ATF Reverses Its Stance On Shouldering Stabilizing Braces
I never got the point of the pistol ARs. Even at this year's shot there was the HK MP9 pistol clone thingie.... did absolutely nothing for me. If you want an SBR... just build an SBR... (outside of socialist Jersey ofcourse).

Winchester U.S.A. forged 9mm
Worse than the older CCI or PMC Blazer aluminum cased stuff? How much cheaper is this ammo? One issue with such ammo is that the case does not form as good a seal as brass, thus lower power, more FTE and fail to cycles overall. While I never had an issue with Wolf (when I bought it), I did find Winchester WB to be quite dirty. More than that, I still vividly recall an incident with Mike Hughes (top shooter, was on Top Shot), rushed to a USPSA match, bought some WWB ammo at Wally before the match... a few rounds in, round is stuck in the gun. Turns out... some of the ammo that was made did not have flash holes in the brass, thus when the primer went off, it just lodged the round in the chamber.

Gun Pictures..... Lets What Ya Got
Awesome. 2.0 is a nice gun, especially for the same money. the trigger on them is far better than the original. The serrations.... eh, not a fan... just feel like a little too many cuts.....

Gun Auction - Alderfer
I will agree with that. A few weeks ago they handled a huge auction to get rid of the inventory of a closing NJ FFL, Tips? I was considering going but their prices were through the roof, not including the buyers premium.

Striker fired HG
Both are terrific guns. Personally I like the HK more but I believe the PPQ has a nicer trigger out of the box. As far as the mag release.... folks with smaller hands suffer from this all the time. Personally I don't believe it is a big deal, just shift your hand a little bit.... or get a slim grip 1911. =) Personally I think with an oversized, or easy to reach mag release you are more likely to inadvertently hit it. Go shoot a few guns and pick what you like best. More than likely you will own them all one day anyway.
