Why Magsafe? First off, it's a compromise because I am living with relatives that aren't very comfortable with guns, and so my choice of the 12 gauge as home defense is out of the question. Second, what part of 2,300 FPS out of a pistol doesn't appeal to ya! :evil: I have used magsafe...

Well, took it to the smith today, he says had to be weak brass, gave the gun a clean bill of health. I AM however going to talk to Magsafe and ask them why the self defense ammo that I paid through the nose for failed on me. I am just glad I hadn't been shooing it for self defense, because...

Definitely a 7.62 barrel, and this was not the first round, just the first Magsafe round I have used in this caliber (never tried one with the old barrel) but I have put in the neighborhood of 30 or so rounds through since the barrel change with typical military plinkers, some corrosive some...

First off, this is a factory load, Magsafe round, and it is a maxed SAAMI +P round. Far as I can tell the barrel has not been throated or any such thing, but I want to show you this picture and get an idea what I am dealing with and what the potential dangers are. (the picture isn't...

Great! thx for the info, I think I will see if I can get some of that copper cleaner tomorrow. :cool:

Good to know, I have found that the V-max is really good too, the only thing I have really been testing is different bullet weights. Accuracy is paramount, but I also want the best chance of a smallish single entry as not to damage pelts (I will be back in Montana soon where it will be worth...

Agreed, I have done a lot of practice at the range, but I was just curious what others have experienced, I haven't have tons of opportunity in recent years. I'm just working with the theory that in the field, my barrel will be fouled especially when going for P.dogs, and it wouldn't be unheard...

Hello, I am looking for any information along the lines of the number of rounds shot before considerable accuracy degradation occurs. In other words, if I am shooting P.dogs all day, would I notice a significant loss in accuracy after say 100 rounds? I am asking because I am having some...

Ok, I Know it's been said, but IMO, the best pistol is the one that you: A) Practice marksmanship with (that you CAN shoot it well) AND survival tactics (punching paper does little good if you don't practice finding cover/concealment and taking the fight to the BG) B) Is practical in the...

Hello, My name is Dayn, and I am a Gun owner ... Heya all, seriously :neener: I have been away from the CCW scene for a while since I was living in Montana (don't really need one since the laws are more sensible), but got back on the horse again now that I am back in a bigger city. I spent 5...

I'd be fine with a .38 super with a 7.62x25 barrel, I'd just love a nice double stack that fits my IWB rig and doesn't go "bang" unless I want it to. :) I don't know enough about gun-smithing to know what mods it would take, but if I could get the parent gun for around $300-$400 and have a...

Yep, I am a firm believer in the Wolf Gold HP's here's some tests in gello! http://www.brassfetcher.com/Wolf%2085gr%20Copper%20JHP.html I did also enjoy that link to Makarov.com, ty! :evil:

Great tips, ty, but for some reason can't get the pic of your CZ to work .. :confused: I have a new modern firing pin, and soon I will have a barrel, rollers and new recoil spring, what spring would you recommend? Makarov.com says 16.5lb spring, another site recommends 18.5lb for their ammo...

great ty all for the information, got my new barrel and safety spring in route :) now I just need to decide which recoil spring tension I will need to be able to use both ball and high velocity ammo and order it from Makarov.com (unless there is an alternate source with better prices?)...

All I can say is I WANT ONE!!! :what: http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg138-e.htm 18 rounds cap, similar design to the Makarov, and has barrels available in 9 x 18, 9 x 19 & 7.62 x 25!!!!

Calling all fellow CZ 52 fans! (nutz like me:D) I'm just curious, has anyone actually fired Mag Safe rounds through their '52? Everything I can find on-line says it should cycle fine, and I'm comfortable with Mag Safe rounds in general, but I must confess this is the first caliber I have...

I'm in the market for a new barrel for my cz 52, not good shape used but truely new, and so far this is what I have come up with so far. http://www.e-gunparts.com/basket.asp I have seen the "original" but good shape used barrels on Makarov.com going for 2x the price, I'm guessing this is...

So my search is still on-going for a double stack 7.62x25, but here is a very nice "pistol" in that caliber :what: http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg153-e.htm Anyone have a nice trench-coat for sale? Gonna be a little hot to wear that in the summer tho :neener:

I'm glad to see this post! I will be having to make the choice to either carry mine in the near future (moved back home to help my father's recovery from an accident) if I am needed here long enough to have to change my residency (BOY do we need to fix the lack of a NATIONAL carry license...
