Duppie

I own a CZ75 which pretty much mirrors or even surpasses a 1911 in weight with a full mag so I'm inclined to believe that weight was not a factor in my opinion.

I am well aware of the stats and the effect of training, but If you noticed I based my opinion purely on the ability of the round to instill confidence in a new shooter. Isn't confidence a major part of being able to either survive or perish in a tense situation?You of course is looking at it from a purely analytical viewpoint and I'm sure all the facts support you..but stats don't always save your life.

I understand this particular debate has been contentious for awhile and as a newer shooter with friends on both sides of the coin I would like to offer a neophytes view. I like 9mm and own 2 pistols in that caliber,I like .40's size and snappy retort,I love .38 and .357 and own a HD revolver for it's ease of operation and maintenance......However after firing a basic 1911 in .45 recently I would have to say I would have to choose .45 as a round I would be confident is neutralizing a threat quickly and efficiently with my limited experience. Now I'm not sure how much of my opinion is actually based on the gun as opposed to the round but at this juncture, if in a SHTF situation I was offered a 9.mm with 15/17 rounds and a .45 with 7/10 rounds, I would choose the latter. I must stress that this opinion is based on nothing more than a seat of the pants feeling and limited exposure to the venerable .45 round.

Alive in my house also,got the wife, a niece and a good friend into the shooting sports in the past year and now the wife's friends have expressed a keen interest also.

While I got fed up and turned it off after a couple episodes early into it's 2'nd season,I have been keeping up with this tread however.I have not followed the written or illustrated series either but it would seem to me that in order to offer something more than a limited, close ended story as well as continue the oratory on humanity and hope,to have everyone already infected and in essence on the path to inevitability would make any further episodes moot. If The Walking Dead is to continue and for viewers to care about this rag tag group,hope has to be offered,does it not? it's not like the CDC is still around to offer a viable cure or perhaps it's all a bad dream like Dallas an eon ago.

Thanks....you will keep us apprised of the result ?

I ask because I have dry fired mine too many times to count just to get used to the break on the DO trigger and have perhaps 850 rounds through her now. I haven' t fired it much since I got my CZ and promised her to a friend who wants a light weight CCW gun.

A broken hammer? how old is the gun and approximately how many rounds through her?

+1

I at first thought it was a mag issue but it only appeared with S&B ammo in all my mags, Since then about 500 rounds through it with no problems. Perhaps it is the firearm.Check the Sig blogs for some further insight.Pull the trigger housing out and check the alignment of the retaining spring,it has been known to kink.

I had the same issue with my p250 9mm awhile back and it turned out to be a bad batch of S&B ammo. The casings were tacky after being shipped and transshipped half way around the globe and they finally exchanged it with no further issues.

It does now!!!!! can't seem to fix this glitch...this glitch...

The left coast has always been contrary,No more foie gras soon because they have a duck and goose lobby apparently and smoking anything, anywhere is next even though they have more Marijuana dispensary's than any state. Time for the big one.....

Thanks Boss......You know I only visit about once a month or less but now I have a reason to shoot more with the CZ just breaking in and my good friend loving it.

Thanks Phil, I do appreciate your input and I will be joining Shore Shot in the near future. Check your PM's will you?

Some things just needed to be said Ray... We're all thinking it, I'm just the one to verbalize it..Good day to you Sir.

For your information Ray, I most probably will patronize Shore Shot in the future while still asking the question as to why?. If it doesn't matter to you either way then why rabble rouse?stay out of it and busy yourself with posting endless inane topics to occupy your time and attention.

Thank you.

I just received an answer on Shore Shot's Face Book page stating that they are no longer offer a discount on walk in range time for NJGF members but will still offer membership discounts.Not quite sure what membership discounts entail but at least we know and can make our own personal decisions as to how to proceed. Why no notice on NJGF and no word from Maksim still puzzles me.

I agree. Taking a page from a good friend's book.every threat may not be neutralized but with preparation every threat can be minimized.I keep 2 of my pistols loaded in the house,strategically placed and known to only myself and wife, we don't so much run drills but cover scenarios in the event of a break in with and without me at home at the time.While no one can say how they will react at that critical moment,I'm confident we at least have more than a clue.

Thank you raz-O for your comprehensive,intelligent and concise explanation. I was especially informed at the car theft reports.Thank you again.

Whoa there Hoss....you've already professed to not having a stake in the game but now you want to light torches,pick up pitch forks and march upon Shore Shot? Look we already recognize you have way too much time on your hands and is wound a little too tight but perhaps you had better leave the fight to those of us who actually lost something in the deal and not run off escalating the issue....Please.

The Castle Law in NJ has so many caveats as to a victim's responsibilities in the event his home is breached that it is entirely possible that he ends up serving time along with the intruder and end up losing his property to the same in a civil suit.By all means....protect your family but be prepared for what comes next.
