lunker

I was kicking myself when I saw one for sale here too late and missed out on it. Actually, weren't you the one that bought the one that was for sale here a few months ago? dam you! Nope. I was the one who sold it then regretted the sale so much that I went out and bought another one before the first one even shipped. The consolation I can take is that I got a great price on the new one and my it uses the Ghost ring sights (although I have it off now because it blocks my red dot).

RayRay, I have a Ruger PC-9 that could be contributed towards the effort. It is easily one of my most favorite guns, and super accurate too.

I know I had that weak reload issue with my Colt Gold Cup. Thankfully that gun came with an extra, reduced power, spring for shooting wadcutters. The weak reloads I brewed up at first caused me to need this. If those will be what you're shooting in the future, maybe one of these reduced power Wolff springs would work. http://www.gunsprings.com/index.cfm?pag ... D=1&mID=26

Classic Lee Turret.

I always thought the XDs had better ergonomics than the brick-ish Glocks. The large frame Glocks (G20, G21) don't work for my hands at all. That said, I wouldn't get an XD because I feel like the bore axis on them is higher than any gun I've ever seen. Hopefully the new generation Glocks can make the large frame smaller in my hands.

My question is... Will it make the large frame guns like the G20, G20SF, G21, and G21SF smaller? I got rid of both a 20SF and a 21SF because of the size. I know I should have learned the lesson from the first one, but I really wanted it to work for me. I am waiting for the Lone Wolf company to make its Glock compatible frame for the big guns. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/

I think autoindexing is overrated. A quick flick of the thumb after each lever pull, and you've indexed.

Sorry Matt. The CCO is an Officer's frame in alloy. The new Bobtail Guardian is only in 9mm and is alloy. And the all-steel V-Bob has a MSRP of 2k.

Oh! the way John Moses Browning meant it to be! Actually, JMB was forced to add the grip safety by the Army. His original design didn't have one. He was content just with the thumb safety. If you want to get hardcore about it... Novak makes a mainspring housing that eliminates the grip safety. It's called "The Answer".

And it's still shiny stainless. I haven't blackened her yet. Matt, your window of opportunity to try her the way you like her is shrinking. :twisted:

You and I will be fighting for stray 10mm brass at BA. That stuff is as rare as hen's teeth.

Tim, Maybe we can make 10mm autoloaders the latest trend on NJGF (prior ones include Remmy 700's, Marlin Lever Guns, etc). I have been checking the list of current and past 10mm guns. After having read a lot about this, it's my belief that the 1911 design is not suitable for the full power 10mm loads. I'm sure people disagree, but there are a lot of Kimber and Dan Wesson 10mm owners that have complained on the internet about the beating their gun takes. The original Colt Delta Elites were notorious for cracked frames due to a bad design in the slide stop notch. A stronger recoil spring is not always the answer. Yes, it prevents the slide from ramming back all the way. On the other hand, that same spring strength forces the slide to be rammed into battery really hard. The solution, that the Glock and the S&W 10XX models employ, is using a really heavy slide in conjunction with a stiff spring. The heavy slide dramatically reduces the beating. This leaves the EAA Witness, Glock 20 (or 29), and the TC single shots as the only currently made 10mm to buy. I would like to have a gun that I could take into the woods in Pennsylvania, so a single shot is notwhat I'm looking for. At some point in the next few months, VLTOR systems will be bringing back the Bren-Ten. That looks like a cool gun. I owned a Glock 20SF, and the full-size Glock models (20, 21) never fit in my hand very well so I sold it. The S&W 10XX models are really strong, but they are no longer made, so parts availability concern me (and they only hold 9 rounds, which is lame for a gun that big). That's why I am looking at the Steel Witness. She's the only one left (and has a capacity of 15 rounds). I have to say I am psyched to start reloading again in 10mm. You can make some real fire-breathing loads in it.

The Mighty 10mm Witness has definitely gone on my list. I really like that "Wonder" finish. It's much nicer than the dull steel look of the older models (kind of like the S&W Stainless semi-auto guns).

I'll see you all there tonight. I'm bringing the Mosin and the Dan Wesson CBOB. I just need to brew up a batch of 45ACP reloads before I head out.

Hopefully the SCOTUS decides in favor of the second amendment. While NJ assult weapon law may not ban an entire class of weapons, the case could clearly be made that it is an entirely arbitrary list. The fact that I can buy a Colt Match Target and not a Colt AR-15, when the differences between the two are mainly cosmetic, helps make that point. The flip side is that gun banners will use that same argument to try to tighten the law.

Seeing as how everyone is expressing love for thier HKs, I got this e-mail this morning from CDNN. I have bought several guns from these guys. They have near wholesale pricing. And I agree with JonF about the HK P7. Selling my P7M8 was the second stupidest gun-related action I have ever done, next to punching myself in the face when holding a pistol-gripped shotgun a little too high. CDNN Sports, Inc.

Excellent news. That last group buy sort of flopped.

I hope you get your dad's rifle. That's a keepsake that could be passed on for generations. If you decide not to make the call... For $600 and about an hour of paperwork, the Civilian Marksmanship Program will send you one US Mail. See the link at the top of the page. It's easy. The worst parts are getting a form (that they provide) notarized, and having a range officer somewhere certify that you can safely handle firearms.

I would be more inclined to say that it is people interested in snatching up the last of a model that will no longer be produced. If this model hadn't been discontinued, I think that $1350 CBOBs would not move off the shelf too quickly. I guess we'll all get to find out when the new model VBOB (MSRP $2050) http://cz-usa.com/products/view/dan-wesson-v-bob/ and Guardian (MSRP $1500) http://cz-usa.com/products/view/dan-wesson-guardian/ come out. The Alloy framed Guardian at least closer in price to the CBOB, although some people will only want a steel frame in a 1911.

Here are the descriptions I got it on my e-mail: Next we have Sig Sauer P225's that were recently imported from Germany. These P225's are not P6's. They are trade-ins from the Zurich Switzerland Police. All of them bear the Swiss shield stamp on the slide and most were manufactured in Montage Switzerland and bear the "Montage Suisse" marking. They come with various sight configurations, but the ones with night sights are mostly dead due to the age of the pistols. These feature the somewhat rare European heel magazine release and come with one factory 8RD magazine. The PW Arms import mark is tastefully done on the steel slide. Very Good Grade: $439.95 Good Grade: $399.95 Fair Grade: $369.95 http://www.topgunsupply.com/sig-sauer-p225-handguns/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, the highly sought after P228's from the Zurich Police. These are very nice old school stamped slide P228's that were manufactured in Germany. Most of the night sights are dim at best and come in a variety of Swiss markings. Some also have Hogue rubber grips that were changed by the Zurich PD armorers. Comes with two 13RD magazines. All in all, a very nice batch of guns! Note: For our California customers, we are substituting one brand new 10RD factory magazine for the two 13RD used magazines.

I feel your pain. I sold my Colt Match Target to get a Rock River A4 Varmint. I decided I was more interested in distance shooting with it than I was in using it it to defend my home (That's what the short barrelled Mossy 500 is for ). I'm not much of a "tactical" guy. I'm lucky in that I chose Colt. They seem to maintain their value well, or at least better than some others.

I just got it in the mail today (fast shipping!). The eyepiece does not rotate sideways.

I have bought two Glocks from these guys and found them to be reputable. Their used P225s are on sale. http://www.topgunsupply.com/sig-sauer-p225-handguns/
