+1.. people like this honestly shouldn't have children as they are obviously not responsible enough

sh*t, i dont have kids and even i know that you dont leave a loaded firearm anywhere that a child can get to..

http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search_catalog_command.cmd?item1=IK-216087&rid=11&WT.mc_id=cj3946285&WT.tsrc=AFF is in stock right now.. no idea how long it will stay that way...

im concerned about the mpro7 oil on my CZ slide.. the inside of the channel seems to come off way too easily using the oil..

what's the best way to clean a magazine that has been pinned? (i.e. no disassembly possible)..

Hoppe's Elilte cleaner.. M-pro7 oil for lube.. but im new too, so i dont know if this is the best stuff.. (note that neither of the items smell, which is nice). I have heard good and bad things with Hoppes Elite, but seems M-pro7 is good stuff from most here.. Ive seen Ballistol all over the place online.. is that like CLP where its a bit of everything but a master of none? Just curious if i were to spray the internals of a semi-auto with it, does it leave too much residue in there to help build up gunk? still getting the hang of the cleaning thing and while i can taake apart the gun to clean it, im just not really positive what (other than the barrel/slide/frame) I am supposed to spray with cleaner.. (or oil for that matter)

in this current market, you pretty much have to be all in or not at all.. dabblers will lose interest quickly or be priced out..

anyone shoot the freedom munitions stuff yet? (the new stock, not the reload stuff).. just got 10 boxes of that, but havent shot it yet

i dont have a preference yet.. I have only shot Herter's and American Eagle in my CZ thus far (200 rounds total), so I cant judge anything just yet. I havent even been able to properly break in the gun to know what works better or worse...

This is a great topic. Being new to the "sport" (or hobby or whatever people think of it as), this obviously affects me greatly. Extremely high cost of entry. Purchasing my first gun in this market proved to be quite "interesting". Ultimately, i had decided on a CZ 75B, which as most know, are pretty rare these days. I overpaid for the gun I found/wanted when I did find it. A bit less than a few other had gone for, but more than MSRP. Once I decided on that gun (and after I got my FID and P2P's) I decided to try to start getting ammo for that gun (9mm). By then, 9mm ammo was impossible to find. I had also decided on getting a .22lr pistol with my other P2P as well as getting a 22 rifle. Thus, I began looking for 22 ammo as well. If I thought 9mm ammo was hard to find, cheap .22 ammo was nigh on impossible to find. I did buy a few boxes of 9mm ammo when i saw a "good" deal online. And by good deal, I mean less than $19 or $20 per box. According to those who have shot for years, the prices are crazy high, but I think that we may be seeing new definitions of ammo pricing. I got a total of 8 boxes of ammo, which as anyone can tell you, is barely enough to break in a new gun. Luckily, I found another 10 boxes online for a half-decent cost. I have only had my gun for about 3 weeks now, and I have only been to the range once (200 rounds, which at the time was half my stock). I did find a little bit of .22 ammo (Fiocchi canned heat) at what most would say a stupid high price, but its not as high as im seeing for Eley brand going for right about now. CCI Mini Mags? Yeah, right.. Winchester Bulk? havent seen any. Remington Golden Bullet? from what I have heard, no thanks. Basically, the only stuff I have seen online is cheap SE Asian brand, which is crazy expensive and Eley brand, which is even more crazy expensive. Luckily I do not have either .22 firearm yet, so I am not in dire need of it, but in the next month or so, I plan to get both the pistol and rifle, so I will want to be breaking in both, with almost no stock to do it. Basically, high cost of weapon, high cost of ammo (when you can find it, which is not frequent) makes getting into this now the completely wrong time, but since I am so fascinated by it, I plan to stay the course. Many other new shooters will lose interest when they can't actually shoot much, I fear. Some might not be as affected if they reload, but for the vast majority of us who do not, it just makes is hard, if not impossible, to really take off into it and get our feet wet. Unless you stocked up before the shortage, obviously shooting amounts will have dropped drastically.

where abouts Clintoon? Finger Lakes area?

try going to Ohio is you want some bad pizza.. its like a saltine with ragu on it...

Rochester D&C is as bad as any of the Anti-2A papers out there. Trust me, im from Rochester and my family (including my very pro-2A father) still lives there.

Havent had much North Jersey pizza since i've never really lived there.. but for my area, Luigi's pizza in Howell is the best pizza.. Ninos in Hamilton also isnt bad.. They make a great cheesesteak or chix parm pizza

GB = Gun Broker.. that's where I got my CZ 75B Matte Stainless.. Pretty tough to find (at least the stainless version is). As with loco, I paid a pretty penny for it because of the relative scarcity of it. If you can find one locally, snap it up because it wont be there long. I love the feel of it and it shoots great, even though I've only actually fired it once at the range (I just got it about a week and a half ago). As Maks said, the CZ and the EAA Witness Tanfoglio are similar guns (to be honest, so is the Browning High Power). they are all generally based on the same style. I handled a Tanfoglio a few weeks ago as well (another customer was picking it up from my FFL when i was picking up my CZ) and that felt pretty good and solid in my hand too, but i have only ever shot the CZ. As for your aim, im sort of in the same boat as you. my targeting isnt too bad, but im just slightly to the left. Note that I have only shot 4 times in my life, so correction really will be a function of practice. Now that I have my own pistol, I will be able to practice lots more and get much better. Good luck, your first pistol purchase is "special" in so many ways!

I think its a bit unusual for a dealer on GB to "never see" the firearm. Most have them in possession or else how can they sell something they dont have? (your case might be a big fluke). That said, as long as they are willing to transfer it to an FFL in NJ with higher cap mags, that FFL (depending on who they are) can block the mags for you to the NJ legal 15rd limit. FFL's will NOT transfer a firearm that has an illegal mag to you no matter what.

and since NICS is taking so long these days, make sure you ask the TRPD, when your permits are getting close to expiring, about extending that last one since you will never be able to use 3 in the 3 month time frame they give you..

wife's 640

my order was spinning for 15 minutes trying to submit.. i got tired of waiting and refreshed the page, and said nothing in my cart.. but then i got a confirmation email for my order, so apparently it went through even though it didnt show it..

ZOMBIES! they'll think your a prepper nut

Cabelas (when they have stuff in stock) is still keeping it "normal" pricing. Freedom munitions, the same. I ordered 10 boxes from FM last week when they had the 9mm in stock (briefly) for $16/box shipped and that should be delivered tomorrow. If the ammo is any good, i would definitely buy from them in the future. Even places like Natchez or Ammo to Go have sort of been keeping it at halfway normal prices.. they just have no stock.. but CTD? fugg 'em.. $70 for a box of PMC Bronze FMJ (50rd) or TulAmmo ? Get fuggin real

im going to shoot it again and see if it continues to happen. i will keep an eye on which mag(s) it happens with, but i do know it actually happened the first time with the factory 10rd mag.. i will also keep an eye on my shooting style.. im hoping it wont come down to me sending it back to CZ.. i do love the feel of this gun though.. and it is quite stunning visually.. heh

OK, so as some might know, I recently picked up my new CZ 75B Matte Stainless (GunBroker, yeah, couldnt find it anywhere else) from Steve @ Monmouth Arms (thanks for pinning the mags Steve).. First impressions were that it felt terrific in my hands. My wife was suitably impressed with it as well (her reaction was "damn thats a nice looking gun").. So, finally got to go to the range yesterday to break it in. First off, its much heavier than the other 9mm's I tried out (Glock and Sig 229), which of course helps with recoil, which is a good thing for a noob as well as for my wife who does not like recoil much. Loaded the 2 pinned mags and 2 additional 10rd mags (bought from CZ directly) with some of the recently available Herter's ammo and also brought some American Eagle and some Federal JHP (just a small 20rd box). First shooting impressions.. Great gun to shoot. Gun is way more accurate than I am (keep in mind, this is only my 3rd time and 5th gun that I have shot). The only issue I had was there were a few FTE's along the way. I ended up shooting a total of 220 rounds and had about 5 FTE's. I am not sure if it was my shooting style, the ammo or the break-in of the gun. I had them with both the Herters and the AE ammo, but the majority were with the Herters. I am thinking it was maybe a combination of all 3 factors (when I shot previously, I had the same shooting style, but never had an FTE). That said, it seemed to get better toward the end, I think my last FTE was at about 150 rds. I didnt think I was limp-wristing at all, but since there was no one else with me and no real RO at the range (is this normal at BA?), I couldnt really judge that for myself. I was surprised how few other people were at the range (only 4 others were there, and only one other when I was done) The good thing about getting FTE's is that I learned how to clear them fairly well. Since it was the first time I had one, I was a little bit nervous about it, but once I figured out how to clear it, it was fine. I will have to see if those go away with more practice or if its something to do with the ammo (although, that seems doubtful unless it was just part of the break-in of the gun). Note I did not have any FTE's with the JHP ammo, but I used that closer toward the end just to get a feel if that would fire differently. I also adjusted my trigger pull a bit toward the end to see if that would make a difference with the FTE's and also with my aim (im pulling to the left a bit). All in all, I had an enjoyable time breaking in the new CZ, and once I can get more ammo (i only have about 200 rds left, but have another 500 rds hopefully being delivered this week), I can get myself back to the range for some more break-in and training, and I can bring my wife with me so she can get a feel for it. Oh, and BA is charging about $30+ for a box of 9mm.. Crazy stuff.. Pics of my CZ and also of my target from the range (one of them at least). Don't laugh at the pink target or my "not-so-great-yet aim". Oh, and yes, i was aiming for the small box in the upper left side of the target for those that look like they were shot near there.. Was also aiming for the barcode on the upper right part with one or 2 shots, just for the hell of it..

i have the same situation. Going up to visit my family in western NY in a couple weeks and would loved to have brought my CZ with me, but NY laws say that you are not technically allowed to bring, possess or fire any handgun in NY unless you have a valid NY license.

1. Shotguns have no recoil 2. Handguns have no recoil 3. Rifles have no recoil 4. Semi-Automatic pistols do not eject casings each time 5. A shotgun blast will raise the victim up of the ground and knock him 6 feet backward each time 6. People can shoot a shotgun with 1 hand with no aiming issues 7. Good guys shooting in the general direction of the bad guy with one hand and no aiming will always take out said bad guy
