Oh, Lord! A topic that can start fights. I am a 45 ACP man. In truth, they are both good self-defense rounds. Both have pluses and minuses.

To me this is a perfect example of why they need to acknowledge an individual's right to carry whatever they want, however they want and mind their own business.

J&G Sales has 440 rd tins for $82.00 And they have 500 rd cases of soft point for $217.00

It's all listed at the sight he linked to in the OP. According to the price list, a semi-auto handgun, plus one mag is $169.00.

Sharp. I may look into that for the P-220 I've carried since 1985.

Are you talking about one of the German police unit M1's?

The thing about Century Arms Cetmes is that almost all of them could be made reliable, if you didn't mind fiddling around with them, and sometimes replacing worn parts. They use a lot (but not all) of the same parts as a G3. Mine had problems with the recoil rod hanging up and locking the...

Most aftermarket Cetmes have synthetic stocks. If it has a wood stock, chances are good (but not 100%) that it is a military surplus weapon. These are good weapons, assuming the particular gun is not worn out. Sythetic stocked Cetmes are primarily from Century Arms, built by putting imported...

I go to gun shows knowing what I'm looking for. Then I research ahead of time to find out what the going price is on the items I want. I never go to a gun show just to see what I can buy with the money I have available. That's how you get ripped off. On very rare occasions I have run into things...
