I have the P01. Great compact pistol. The only downside is that it's left side only. If you're a lefty, you are using the weak hand to de-cock. Trigger pull is roughly equivalent to 75B trigger, perhaps a little worse. All standard cz triggers have that little hitch where a cocked hammer travels backwards before striking. Replacing the hammer with the new style target hammer becomes a great trigger job.

You would need to check a powder burn chart. I know that Bullseye, W231, and Unique are pretty fast powders. I prefer using Blue Dot when I can.

Most often it is a primer with no powder just like a kaboom is a double powder charge. It is one reason I like slower powders. They occupy more volume in the case, making it easy to spot a no powder situation and making a double charge impossible.

Seeing as how it needs to be pinned to be legal in jersey, why not go classic Russian Red from Timbersmith?

My wife likes my Browning Buckmark so much she declared it was hers. I had to explain that it doesn't work like that in Jersey. It was the only time I was thankful for our retarded gun laws. If you want a gun to pass on to your grandkids, look at the Browning Buckmark (not the camper version).

M14S types are. These are the Norinco/Poly clones.

There us a great deal on federal upland loads in 20 gauge. $59 on sale. $115 is normal pricing. I'd buy some if I didn't already have two flats of it.

+1. +10 over a Commander length 1911 like my CBOB.

I have owned half a dozen 10mm guns, and the Glock 20 handles heavy loads better than any of them except the Single Action Ruger Buckeye and S&W revolver.

Hates Glocks, but loves it in 10mm.

M&M is the nicest sporting clays facility I have ever been to. My favorite by far. You don't have the staff shadowing you everywhere you go like at Lehigh Valley. You can actually skip a hole and come back to it if the group ahead of you is playing slow.

A lot of military surplus rifles don't have chrome lined barrels. Especially Yugoslavian stuff because they didn't have the natural resources for it.

My wife.

+1 Welcome

You can always go higher end too. Look at Beretta, Remington Wingmaster, Winchester autoloaders are sweet.

Get something you won't mind getting wet. Extra fancy grade wood is out. You probably want a gun with a 3" chamber that can handle 2 3/4" and 3" shells. If you want an autoloader, look at the Remington 11-87 or Mosssberg 930. If you want a pump, a REM 870 or Mossberg 500 would be a good bet.

I believe they are the biggest cz dealer in US.

Cz75B - $497 Lots more

I don't know much about the man except his ability to land in the tabloids. I was thinking along the line of Paul Jr and Sr on OC Choppers. In my opinion they are hacks. I hope he can make something interesting.

I suspect this will end poorly since he will be relying on the expertise of others. Hope he didn't really put all his $$$ into it. I also hope he knows to surround himself with people that do know the business.

Great gun. I've never seen one with shorter than a 26 inch barrel though.

The Winchester 1200/1300 shotguns have the best and smoothest racking action I have ever felt. The Ithaca 12 gauge comes in 2nd because even though it is nearly as smooth, it seems to require more force to rack with certain brands of shells so there is more variability.

It looks like the Winchester is the only lever design chambered in 45-70 that has top eject (i didn't check the fancy ones like Chiappa). The Rossi and Marlin both have the side eject. Is this for strength of design reasons? My Rossi 92 has top eject, but that design is for pistol calibers.

Hot 44 mag is child's play compared to a medium 45-70 load. Forget about hot 45-70 in a light carbine. Ouch.

You may want to do a search on Benelli Supernova 922R compliance. It is a federal regulation specifying the minimum number of US Made parts on a foreign gun that was imported in sporterized configuration. The AK guys all have to follow there rules when converting Saigas and thumbhole stock AKs. I would just be guessing, but increasing the capacity of your Italian made gun to more than 4 in the tube might trigger this requirement.
