I wish they would come out with a CZ 75 Compact version in matte stainless.

+1 on the Stoeger Cougar handguns... Never tried the .40 or the compact 9mm, but love the full-size 9mm and the .45 ACP (8000 and 8045), and they both fit my hands better than the 92FS. The 92 does have a slightly better trigger, though, and a lot more parts available, and certainly a track record. The Cougar would make a very nice "cheap" home defense gun and is probably one of the best values out there, certainly in the DA/SA platform. I actually prefer it to the seemingly better engineered Storm. I also think there is a place in a home battery for the double-barreled coach gun. It is simple to use, relatively short, and two loads of 12 gauge should be able to handle quite a bit. And its quick to reload and a no-brainer. No short cycling the action, etc. and its easy to check to see if its loaded. Not to mention, it would probably shoot just about any shells put in it. And, if there was ever a scenario where you didn't have two functioning arms, it would be a plus over a pump. But, its real value, I think, would be that it would be a handy shotgun for a vehicle due to its short length. I'm not going to run out and buy one, but if I find one at a nice price, I would pick it up. I don't know anything about the semi-auto shotguns.

It might be that the newer "green" ammunition has a much more finite shelf life than older ammunition, and it might not make sense to stock too much of it away, or at least to look into it. Why would anyone with an agenda want to create ammunition in this fashion?

I am interested in the following: CZ 75B stainless CZ 75 Compact CZ P01 CZ magazines CZ grips

What is the going rate for one of these?

I miss my Australian Cattle Dogs. It's almost time to find another four-legged friend (or two).

Ramsey Outdoors in Ledgewood has one.

It's also good to get firearms that look similar and NEVER have them in the same place at the same time. That''s another plus for a Glock. You can have a 17 and a 19 and a 23 and, yet, it appears you only have one gun if only one is seen. Also, get revolvers that have the same finish... stainless, blued, etc. For the most part, ammunition seems to be under the radar.

Looks pretty sweet, and I certainly wouldn't mind having one, but in my opinion, you would probably be better off with an older one that seems to be made better, unless you NEED a takedown model. If you are in the market for a new one and If it was only a few bucks more than a regular one, then what the heck, I'd splurge. However, keep in mind that Ruger has been flooding the market, lately, and most Ruger products as of late seem to have some growing pains.

Just ordered the conversion parts and tested in GEN4 gun w/ GEN 3 kit and it worked flawlessly with the right ammo.

Happy Easter, all. The older I get, the more I enjoy the springtime.

I wonder if there is a school at that church ("behind the school")? Remember.... Clinton Happens. And you better be careful, Bloomberg will be watching you. Still, I'd go get a lock for my shed. http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5310-1.pdf

By the way, the FNX is still there... http://www.fnhusa.co...F059&gid=FNG001 Where you talking about the FNP line?

My guess is they don't want any competition for the new FNS, the sales of their guns have not been great, and there were some teething problems with the FNX. If they retain the FNP USG, and I am sure they will retain the .45 version, then you may see that it will resemble something more along the lines of the FNX in the future. The problem is that they have messed all of it all up with mag incompatibilities, etc (And, for us, that they didn't bother to create a magazine that was NJ usable for the FNX-9). FN should have taken the playbook out of Glock and designed their guns around one awesome magazine and varied its size, etc. If I could purchase a new FNS-9 and use that magazine in the FNS-9 Compact (when it is released), and then I bought more of the magazines, eventually, I would have picked up a hammer-fired one to use them with, too. But, since they are all over the place, discontinuing at will (their awesome FNP-9M... case-in-point), I am not as thrilled about getting one of their products even though the FNS is probably a better product than a Glock (and it should be, otherwise what was the point). If I want a striker fired one, I'll put my money on the Glock GEN4 (that should have bugs worked out by now) if I want that style gun. I'm afraid a lot of other people will, too, unless the FNS really does rock. FN will really have to have these at a competitive price (lower than the Glock) to really get them to take off as well. And, what about the marketing. Why do they market their products so poorly?

Imagine if you did that to your wife? That seems incredibly inconsiderate to say the least, not mentioning it to you.

Interested in any trades?

Which one? Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas Jefferson We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

Not recommended.

For your first gun you should get a defensive gun in 9mm, and look for something like a Glock 19 or Ruger SR9C. But there are many others... an M&P 9, Springfield XD 9, FNH FNS-9. My choice would be a Glock 19 GEN4 and then consider getting the Advantage Arms conversion kit so you can practice with .22LR. As far as revolvers go, consider a Taurus 992 that handles both .22LR and .22WMR. Also, looking for something used at a good price and in good shape would probably be a good idea for your first gun. And, lastly, you should be able to apply for more than two permits. I would strongly suggest you get 3 or 4 when applying. That way, you can trade if what you have doesn't suit you. And, you can also get a defensive 9mm and a .22LR practice gun.

It would have to be Braveheart... It's got everything... an amazing and hauntingly beautiful music score and an intense story, though maybe not too historical. The hero is a natural leader, an underdog with a humbleness and resistance to seeking power... Although the violence is a little excessive it captures that time in history and is tempered by the softer moments of deep humanity here and there in the film, and within the setting of the beautiful Scottish countryside. Braveheart is full of grand and beautiful scenes, intense battle sequences, and it has the love story aspect, the struggle of all time between good and evil, and the resistance of the underdog and the individual against tyranny. The total package is amazing. And, the message of the movie is very inspiring!

I cannot limit myself to just one... The top "two" would be: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Braveheart But, there are so many others as well... Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Vision Quest; The Dead Poet Society; The Godfather II; Star Wars (first 3), The Terminator, Christmas Vacation, Roxanne, Apocalypse Now, Citizen Kane, Schindler's List, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Unforgiven, Hang Em High, Good, Bad and the Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, Back to the Future, Gran Torino, First Blood, The Last of the Mohegan's, and of course The Patriot.

I would probably prefer the stainless Single Six w/ the conversion cylinder from .22WMR to .22LR, or the Single Ten, especially if one comes out that allows for the two calibers, although the Bearcat would make a nice kit gun.

AA has come out with an add-on recoil spring and guide rod assembly to safely allow the use of an older GEN3 AA Kit to be used on a GEN4 frame: http://www.advantage...ry_Code=GKParts A+ for them releasing this to support their customers!
