    Is a Caliber Conversion Possible on a CZ-75 ? ?

    IOW, can the 9mm be fitted with a .40 top end, or vice versa? I know about the .22 kit, but are different top ends even sold for the CZs, like EAA does for the Witness? Shiroikuma, please e-mail me if you see this.:)

    M-1 Carbine by Universal ?

    I don't wish to re-hash old debates about their utility. I know that this brand has NO collector interest. What I do need to know is if they are a safe, reliable shooter. Or, should they be avoided? I've seen several recently in $250-$290 range.

    S&W Model of 1989 625 N-frame $$ ??

    Yes, it is USED.:) Beautiful frosted matte finish stainless, in 4", w/Hogues. Appears to be in excellent shape, for $450. What do you think? I suspect that with its weight, it would be a very mild shooter, yes?

    ATF Purchase Form, and Proper ID?

    Went to pick up a pair of Mak's and a rifle today at *&* Sales here in AZ. I presented my DL, and CCW, which means that they can skip the telephone NICS check. I started the routine of my yellow form when the clerk asked me to remove both cards from my wallet for him to photocopy. The purchase...

    Question about Makarov safety.

    When engaged, does it block/lock the forward movement of the firing pin, as in the Walther PPK series? When decocking, is the pin shielded from a blow by the hammer? Thanks all.

    Just went to the CZ(Europe) site. Good news and bad.

    The bad: NO reference to the CCZ-75SA single-action(only) model. The good: the CZ100 is now supplemented with a DA/SA version, the CZ110. The gun is apparently set up like the Walther P99; but, its decocker was not visible in the picture. Having owned the 100, and shooting P99s in both .40 &...

    Owner input needed on Para Ord LDA please.

    Just fondled one of the new single stack versions at the local gun-pusher's. :) That trigger is sweeeeeeeeeet. Even shorter, and possibly lighter than the Elite triggered Kahrs. Anyone here who owns one with this unique trigger, or at least shot the LDA version? Thanks.

    Street price, & other Steyr M40 questions....

    A local dealer has it for for $459. I can't imagine it getting much better than that, can you? I noted the 45 degree bevel cut ahead of the chamber, but I forgot to check for a serial # over 10K. Is there anything else I should look for to have the best chance it has the latest upgrades? Thanks.

    Which Ruger is stronger: Redhawk, or Bisley?

    The Super Redhawk or Blackhawk 'should' be stronger, but I'm only concerned with the others. Specifically, the chambering in .45 Colt, for use with the warmest of loads. This will be a fun gun, but I do realize that the Redhawk DA action would be superior if pressed into defensive use. The...

    Why are there sling mounts on the BARREL???...

    I'm a TOTAL novice with 'hunting' rifles, so forgive me if this seems blatantly obvious to YOU. I was looking through the Ruger catalog recently, though this is not just exclusive to them. On the No.1/Express/Mag rifles, the forward sling mount is attached to the barrel. Doesn't this adversely...

    I just checked out the Beretta 9000, and I'm...

    a little dissappointed. The frame just doesn't seem 'right' to me at all. I've never really had any problem with the fit of auto pistols. Even large frame Glocks are quite manageable, though not necessarily ideal for me. The pistols that feel the best(to me) are the 1911, BHP, CZ75(& 100), P97...

    Mas 49/56 conversion in .308?

    I found one for $289, imported by C.A.I St. Alb Vt. I asked if they used a chamber insert. The dealer thinks the barrels have been set back, and re-reamed for the .308. He did admit to mixed satisfaction amongst the customers that have bought them. What do you think about the conversion, and...

    Questions on CZ 75 Compact...

    Found them NIB at $389. Is that a good price? Are 13rd STANDARD capacity mags readily available for them as with the regular CZ 75? Thanks.

    Questions on New S&W 3" 66 .357...

    I bought it USED, but it has all of their most recent upgrades: 1) Carbon hammer and trigger 2) Relieved thumb latch 3) Raised frame boss to block cylinder movement when ejecting 4) Spring loaded firing pin(in frame) 5) Uncle Mike's type grips, not Hogue's I thought that they...

    Taurus 7-shot "L" Frame M66?

    Does anyone have experience with one of these? It's not a Tracker, and I don't care for their triggers anyway. It is called a M66, 7-shot, with rubber "Hogue" style grips and the conventional detent latch at the end of the ejector rod. The 4" barrel has a full length underlug and is unported...

    Benelli Tactical Price Check Please

    A local shop has the straight stock, fixed sight, M1 Tactical for $795. Same with PG and GRs for $850, and the M3 likewise equipped at $950. The LOOOOONG barreled Practical model, with all of the accessories, was $1050. Does it get much better than that folks? [This message has been edited by...

    Anyone Have the CZ-75 Single Action?

    It is catalogued as SA-only, with the .40 style slide featuring extended rails. It also has a recoil spring guide rod, which the other models do not have. I'm curious as to how you feel about the trigger pull. Also, if the safety lever is at all cumbersome, or "just right". I've handled CZ-75s...

    Info On USP .45 Compact

    I saw one today in stainless, w/o the internal, keyed safety lock(ala Steyr & Taurus). The dealer says that makes it more desirable(sure). I researched a few past posts here w/mostly good input. The gun has been out for over two years, and seems to be reliable. My questions are for anyone who's...

    DOH! Just Got "Made" at Work

    I've been using an ankle rig for over 6 months. I used to pull my sock up and over it for extra camo. Since I started to get a bad rash, I've been putting it on over the sock for the past few weeks. Well, after 6 months, my so-called "observant" co-worker has only NOW just spotted it! Luckily...

    Please Clarify re: Short Bbl. SGs

    I am told they require a $200 transfer tax unless they are: 1)Factory made with a sub-18" barrel AND 2)Are provided with a pisol grip ONLY (not a pistol-gripped full stock) Those two conditions render them AOW(Any Other Weapon), meaning a $5 transfer. If provided with any sort of full...
