A little late on a reply, but I put a set of VZ's on my full size Canik stingray. The holes do not line up exactly. They are maybe a mm off. Just enough to where I couldn't get the thread started easily and I didn't want to try any force and strip the threads. I opened it up the hole in the...

I've owned a few RIA tacticals. The hard chrome AC has much nicer machine work than RIA's I owned. I never had any issues with the RIAs other than all of them were a little tight with the extractor tension. I do believe RIA is a much more established company now than Metro Arms currently is...

Get both. I've always wanted a true commander and everyone needs at least one full size 1911. David

I had a satin nickel tactical for about a year. I believe the GI version is the only one you can get that is polished shiney. I treated my RIA like all my other firearms and never had a problem. Nickel plating must be some what durable because the TNW AR piston conversion I bought had the...

$425 is a good going rate for a 75B that's in a shop. CZ's have jumped up in price greatly in the past few years. Mostly because everyone is finding out that they are great shooters and as accurate as most of us can shoot. You will find your internet detractors, but most of use that own them...

I would definately shoot the P99 first before buying one. I've owned a P99AS in 9mm and a 40 in QA. I've also had an FNP USG in 9mm. I was really amazed at the amount of felt recoil the P99 has compared to the other pistols I own. The P99 AS was extremely accurate and the P99 felt great in...

I've owned 3 RIA's. 2 tacticals and a GI. The extractors were on the tight side in all three. After adjusting the tension they were all flawless with the checkmate mags that I use. There is a reason why we all rave about them. David

This is what I suggest. Lots of good features at a good price. David http://www.spikestactical.com/new/z/st15-midlength-le-carbine-p-443.html

I picked up another 40 compact. Seems to be a good shooter with fullsize 40 mags. David

I've had a 30-06 since 2006. Works for me. Only got about 100 rounds through it though. David

rd2007 Take those sig mags and throw them back the in the box in the attic. Mine were junk. David

My semi compact is by far my favorite CZ. They are of course the Jerry's special which like others have said was a special order by a distributor. I bought mine for $330 NIB in 2005. The dealer I got it from said no one was buying them because of the full size frame. That is what I like most...

I would guess that the FBI has a contract that had specific requirements for the service pistol they originally ordered. When the manufacturer changes the specs for the pistol then original contract must be ammended. My department had a similar issue when changing from the USPc to the P2000...

Here are some ideas for holsters used while sitting. The belly band pictured looks a little low in the photo. I still use a fanny pack I was issued 15 years ago on long distance drives. David http://magills.com/index/44/

Picture of a AK bolt on the left and SIG on the right. I'm bored waiting for the AC repair man so I thought I would snap a picture. Very similar bolts. The location of the charging handle and having the op rod connected to the bolt/carrier is probably the only other similarity between the AK...
