Academy in BR, on Airline has ammo. Monarch brand, steel case, made in Russia. The lacquered case and headstamp looks identical to the Brown Bear ammo, it's just repackaged. I looked a few days before Christmas and they had about 8 boxes; this store tends to keep it in stock. I haven't seen any...
Hi, I recently picked up a rather scruffy looking old CZ 75 from Cole's Distributing on gunbroker. It seems to be in good functional condition, but looks like it was the old enamel finish, which chipped; and looking closer at it, it looks like someone did some home "touch ups" with some black...
Right now, I'm looking for something to pair up with a Star model Super B, I know 1911 holsters work well. I have a number of other pistols, such as a hi power, several different CZ models, a 6 inch Hi Standard sport king, a pile of easten European makarov cal pistols, etc.
I'm really looking...
On any number of forums, you come across the comment that a local gun shop has a bucket of old, used holsters for cheap. I came across something like this in a pawn shop about a decade ago (and now that store is gone), but recently can't find anything. None of the actual gun shops I've been to...
Nobody ever wants to be that close, but it happens... a lot. Don't think so? Next time you go get some gas, take a look at your line of sight regarding the pump. Take a buddy with you, and tell him to circle the pump while you fill up; even when you know he's there/coming, you'll be stunned at...
I got the Cabelas deal on the Blazer, it was 500 rd brick, $27.99, $38 shipped. Considering that Cabelas is around 45-50 miles round trip and I have no other needs from them right now, I'm ok with the shipping price. I put in the order friday, and got a shipping confirmation today. Was a limit...
I have read a lot of negative reviews (after googling around some) about botach.
My experience, for what it's worth: I found them about a year ago, when they had some great deals on boots. I picked up a pair of Bootistans for about $40, and I absolutely love these. I simply can't wear them...
Was weight a factor in the final choices? If you want to consider steel (which is heavier), the CZ 97B seems like an excellent gun; based on the CZ 75 design. Every review I've read praises it highly. On the negative side, it may be pretty heavy to carry; on the plus side you should be able to...
9x18 is a hotter round than .380, and way hotter than .32 or anything else like you normally see in a small blowback pistol. They are some snappy little shooters. I own 2 other makes (an East German Makarov and a Hungarian PA 63), and the CZ is heaviest and mildest of the bunch. The PA 63 stings...
I keep my CZ 82 nearby while in my truck. Perfect combination of size (small), capacity (12 rd double stack), build (all steel, reliable and solid as a tank), and price (under $200 fully dressed). On my nightstand is my CZ 75 pre-B with an 18 rd mag.
Got an old Eastfield 916 12 gauge pump with...
Congrats on the 82- I love mine. Smaller, but solid as a rock. I also got a 75 pre-B, and it remains my single favorite in my collection (it just feels perfect in my hand). It still amazes me that I was able to pick them both up for a hair under $500 combined :D
CZ's are dangerous- they're...
Look around for the VZ 50 and/or VZ 70, they are in .32 ACP. Used to be fabulous bargains, at or under $100.

Wow, I passed on these back in the day (I ended up with 2 Tokarevs instead, for $150 and $75 respectively; and proceeded to grab Makarov-chambered pistols instead of further Tok ones).
Regardless of the big price jump, it's a solid steel gun with good heritage, you should be pleased. I might...
Updated- I ran the serial through Beretta's site, and my pistol was made in '95 and issued to LAPD. I made a couple inquiries and got the following information- the LAPD requires a 30 rd qualification every 2 months. So, if the pistol was in "active duty", that means a minimum of 180 rounds...
Mine made it to my FFL on the 30th, and I was able to go pick it up today. Was in need of some serious cleaning up, which I did. Internals looks good, sharp rifling. There's moderate wearing of the frame finish along the edges, including one fairly large scuff. The slide looks good, maybe some...
yay- mine's in the mail (FedEx actually, in Memphis). Per the invoice, it's "good" condition. I guess they grabbed a more worn looking gun from the batch (said G to VG condition when I ordered). No complaints, I wasn't expecting it to be LNIB. As long as it's in good working condition and not...
Shipping was $27, so maybe a bit on the high side. As I commented, the prior time I bought from them, I did a purchase of several surplus CZ 82s. The price was good, and we did have one gun that had a problem detected AFTER test-firing, and they swapped that pistol for free.
JG Sales has trade-in Beretta 92SF with 1 magazine for $329, in good to VG condition. I guess the question on value is more "was it worth it", since I went ahead and ordered one :).
Just curious if this is considered a good deal, or if I could have done better. I already have a CZ 75 pre B...
Thanks, they look nice, and about what I'm looking for (a rugged, 1911-styled 45). You ok with the mechanics and function of the design? If the gun in question functions, but simply looks "old" (as I'm certain it will look), does $300-ish sound good in your opinion? I've read the steel and...
Hi all, I've come across this time and again, and it has tweaked my interest:
http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/colt1911a11930original-bestgrade-1-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx
It's a Ballester Molina, worn and with faded finish but supposed to be functional, $299. Note- I have no NEED for it, but I have always...
