CZ-P01... Just sayin. Instead of the G19. Or a Browning High Power as they aren’t making them anymore. From your list, a GP100. I like the new Rugers that I have handled better than the new Smiths. I like a 3-4” Barrel for versatility. I want a Wiley Clapp someday but that day can wait. Good luck.

I hope to have it in the safe when I die so my wife can fund part of a new car. Gotcha. I wouldn't make an offer because even though I did fairly well on this I can't afford another anytime soon.

I actually KNOW i'm right this time.

It was a deal I couldn't resist. @45Doll If you have any history on the pistol, shoot me a PM.

That's a first.

Such a beautiful piece. I’m honored to own one. The trigger really is as nice as I’ve heard. The bluing is a mile deep. The grips and assorted small parts all seem original to the gun. No box/papers but it does have the letter from Colt’s archives. Built late ‘71 or very early ‘72. Shipped in Feb ‘72 to a dealer in NYC. I am the third owner. It’s had a very easy life. Maybe a few hundred rounds thru it. I plan on adding a few to that number. No too many, but a few.

Thanks all. I'll take a look at Dawson and LPA.

Thank you sir. Much appreciated.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the sights on my P-01 aren't amazing. I shoot the gun a bit and like it, and trust it enough that it's my "HD" gun. But the sights are not awesome. Part of that is that I'm for sure suffering a downhill slide in vision. Getting older and wearing glasses more and more kinda proves that out. So I'm beginning my sight shopping. I'm looking for something that is somewhat low profile, but can be hooked on clothing to rack the slide. And I'd like something that is illuminated. Tritium is an option. I figure, by the time it wears out I'll be ok with buying another set of sights. However if there is something else out there worth looking at, I'll look at it. I also like 3 dot sights and want an illuminated rear sight. I don't want a black, target sight, rear sight and an illuminated front. Some kind of illuminated rear is a must. My light is heading out for repair. I normally run a light on the pistol, but am not sure when it will be back from Streamlight. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I have intentionally been NOT looking at the weather.

I sent a text and haven't heard back. Any movement on this?

Do you have any salt? My foot is rather bland.

You need a reloading setup... Maybe not the same names are used, but I have loaded .223 from screaming hot to subsonic. The option is definitely there.

Exactly what I would expect... Awesome.

It's all good. I have two friends that are electrical engineers. My other buddy, that's in Mays Landing, is offering to help via face time. Ray Ray is offering to help as well. Everyone is just busy. I will get it running. It's just gonna take time.

I switched names as I'm starting something. I like the 6's and 6.5's. They're awesome. However, shooting steel at 750 is almost too easy. I have not had an opportunity to go further. Hence my new fascination with the "sub" calibers. 17's, 20's and 22's. Shoot one of those at 300 in a nice group and it's something to talk about. Additionally they're inexpensive to load and it's "winner winner pollo dinner!"

I'm in Bergen County by Paramus

Hey Shane. Currently rifle-less. I sold my 6.5x47 in order to finance some build parts. We’ve chatted via PM a couple of times. I used to be Topher.

I'm just mentioning what my wife told me. It's an exemption from taxable income. It's NOT an additional $3k added to your refund, if you're getting one. It works out to be somewhere around $150 dollars added to your refund, if you claim it. My wife is a good deal more intelligent than I am. Sorry I don't have more for you.

IG = Instagram @ballistic_therapy is my IG handle.

Actually, he does it pretty often. Not cold bore/1 shot, but he hits steel at 1k with a .223 on the regular. You should look into social media Frank, stop staring thru a little tube with glass on either end of it at tiny targets far away and you can see how other people look thru a little tube with glass on either end of it at tiny targets far away. I'd go shooting if I had a rifle...

6mm is the minimum caliber... for what? For competition? Maybe so. But you and I both know that 223 is a viable caliber for shooting 1k. Not ideal but that doesn't mean it's not viable. Better calibers for the job? Yup. Still not the point. It's viable and it works. I'll drop this guy a line on IG and let him know his .223 isn't a good cartridge for this kind of stuff...

Depending on bullet used. It's not about the cartridge, it's about the bullet.

It's an Earned Income Credit. Translates to about $150. It's something, but it's not 3k. Just a heads up.

You’re missing the point. The point is to make it more difficult to increase the window for learning. I will tell you from experience that shooting a fast 6 or 6.5 is almost like cheating. Wind calls under 550-600 yards don’t exist. And, given where we live (I know Rob is in Fla and can’t speak to it) learning anything about wind is all but impossible. Building a 223 and shooting at even 300 can be a challenge given how much the bullets get blown around. Which is exactly the point.
