    Local Shop Owner: Sorry, I don't carry Kimber products anymore.

    Can't say I disagree too much; I'm kinda getting tired of Kimbers being held up as top-quality firearms simply because they're expensive; never have been impressed by them, I don't believe that their owners actually give a damn about guns per se, and their CS is legendarily (is that a word?)...

    CZ 75 Safety question

    Starter O/U's??

    Look into 2nd-hand Miroku O/Us - made in Japan and they actually made the shotguns for many respected names eg Browning, Winchester, etc. I have one made for Charles Daly by Miroku - an inexpensive Venture model, but it outshoots me.

    .308 based AR selection

    Darn - I have plenty of FAL mags, but I hadn't realized that the BCG, barrel, etc are specific to that variant. Thanks for the info :)

    CZ 75b or 1911?
