Am having trouble with the space time continuum thing and the cloning experiments have been a total failure, so my commitment to IDPA on that date will keep me away. Have fun all.

The CZ-75B is such a great gun I went out and got a second one, does that count

Yuppers! Now you need to try a CZ-75

Yup the moon it is.

Hi. So tell us a little more about yourself. Did you just move to the state? What do you like to shoot, ...... etc.....

Just took this a few minutes ago, sunset behind the trees in Randolph NJ:

Actually its the government involvement that has broken the insurance system, much as it has broken just about everything it touches. Prices would be much lower if we had real competition, not what the government has done. Insurance is regulated by each state and you get a different policy in each state which makes the system very inefficient. If there were one standard, with different levels of coverage, across the county we would have lots of companies all competing on equal footing for our business. That is what drives prices down.

Actually you are not, you have been working hard to lower it and have been very successful. Nice job!!!!

I'm with you 100%. I thought I loved my Beretta 92FS, until I bought a CZ-75B. I like my CZ so much, I bought a second one that had a bunch of work done on it by the CZ custom shop.

But insurance is the cause of hospital prices being so high. They mark everything up cause they know it will get marked down. Look what they charge you for an aspirin in a hospital.

DirtyDigz, you have missed my point. You (well at least I) are not qualified to determine which test you need. Sure you can see who charges less for a test, but that is not the issue. Will a blood test answer the question? Maybe it is an enzyme test that is needed? Perhaps a CAT scan or maybe even an MRI. That is the issue. If there is a 99.999% that the $20 blood test will give the correct diagnosis then why should some doctors be ordering the MRI at $5,000 (or whatever) to get a 99.999999% answer. That is the trade-off that needs to be made and the average patient does not have that ability. And yes I comparison shop, but if I am spending your money - well why should I both to comparison shop? That is the problem with the insurance system.

Publishing prices won't do very much, except for things like drugs which are finite known quantities and qualities. If doctor X posts one rate and doctor Y posts another, what do you do with that? You have no clue of the quality difference between the two. Maybe one should be charging three times what the other does. The same goes for tests, when do you use one versus another. A better doctor knows when the $50 test will answer his question and not order the $5,000 test for the same thing - if he does not have to fear that he will be sued because there is a 0.01% chance the cheap test might miss something. We all make these decisions everyday. You don't use critical defense ammo for a range visit, unless you are spending someone else's money.

The only way to reduce costs is to prevent trial lawyers from being the leaches of society. If they had to pay the costs of the winner if they lost it would eliminate many suits. It would allow doctors to prescribe tests that are needed medically, not the ones they feel they need to have for defensive purposes in case they get sued. Also make it so that when one sues they get compensation only, any punitive amounts get paid to victim's funds only and lawyers cannot touch those amounts either.

No it continues through the winter, weather conditions permitting. The first weekend static is what moves indoors with .22LR only.

Congrats. I've got one just like it, shoots great!

Is it true that the only one that has access to those scores is The NSA????

That is true, in theory it will go up - unless they change it, defer it, eliminate it, or raise it. We are talking government here, you never know what will change.

I shoot Freedom stuff all the time and have never had an issue with either the new or reman. stuff. Have shot it in 9mm, .38spl, .357mg, .40 cal and .45 cal.

Think you were trying to talk to jag07, I only order in lots of 1,000.

All of my ammo was lost in a tragic boating accident.

Here, $0.38 /round, and it always goes boom: http://www.freedommunitions.com/45-Auto-230-gr-RN-p/fm45r230r-b0500.htm and if you want some 9mm its under 25 cents a round: http://www.freedommunitions.com/9mm-115-gr-RN-p/fm9r115r-b0500.htm

I politely call my UPS driver "The Ammo Fairy" because she brings me lots of ammo Actually her name is Sue, and she also brings cookies for my dogs every time she stops by!!!

Yea, I know that - but getting them that fast is the closest thing you have to free in the PR of NJ

Surefire shot timer is great. I too have been using it for dry-fire. Unlike most timers where you can only use the par timer for dry fire, I have found on my iPhone5 if I turn the sensitivity all the way up it will pick up the hammer strike of my 92FS and CZ-75B. Great tool. What is Panteo?

Wow, almost makes it seem like you are in a Free State! Congrats.
