I watched this video which shows how well an AR-15 can handle mud due to being so closed off from the outside elements, which reminded me of an over the beach test I saw years ago from H&K, wherein the AR-15 kabooms. () While trying to find the video, I found this one: So now I am just...

Wow, I had not seen that website with the more inexpensive magazines before. Thank you very much; definitely helps the issue. I have 2 mags for the CZ. To Jim Watson, yes I know that the ammo and the fee will be an expense as well, but I figure it as sort of the same if I had gone to the...

Thank you everyone for the information and offers of equipment. I live in southern California, yep behind the curtain. The other pistol is a CZ97B which is very accurate and consistent. In my heart I know that it is the better gun for the job, but the money issue is what is keeping me, but as...

Thank you again for the good info. :)

Thanks ATLDave for the good info. The gun is a Walther post-war p38. A bit unusual, I know. But I can get mags for about $10 a piece and a holster for $30. I have a better gun option I could use for competing but the mags cost 4 times as much for each one and the holster I have been eyeing...

Thank you danez71 and cdb1. Very interesting about the barrel length not mattering. I would think that a rifled slug would spin better if it had more barrel and had not even considered barrel stiffness, so thank you both for the info.

Hi! I am thinking about possibly getting into competitive shooting and am completely green regarding that field. Not even sure if I want to, but am trying to figure out how much money outlay for gear would be. The pistol I have in mind takes magazines which can be had for a good price and...

A recent look at Legacy Sport International's website showed that the Escort line is apparently no longer offered? If this is so, are they still being imported from Turkey? I see Turner's in California still has the Escort Aimguard for sale, and am now wondering if I will have to spend around...

Thank you all for your answers. You've given me some things to think about. I was planning on using these flat point bullets https://www.berrysmfg.com/item/bh-38-357-125gr-fp The local gun shop sells jacketed bullets for about a dollar or two more, but they are hollowpoints, so I am not sure...

Hi, I am looking into purchasing the Lee Loader, a box of tools that lets you reload your ammo with a hammer instead of a press. The caliber I am interested in is .38 Special. I'm really jazzed about it right now, but I have a question about the powder scooper that comes with it. I am new to...

I didn't realize they did that so long ago. I thought it was starting from 2016 based on the way the catalog talked about it. It's the thin aluminum grips and fiber optic front that I meant.

I am looking for guidance in a potential handgun purchase. It's up between the CZ97B (California Old Model with the wood grips) or a 5 inch XD in .45. On the one hand, in 2016 they made some changes to the CZ that I don't like as much as the old model, which is still on roster here in CA...

I recently came across the CZ 527 at the gunshop and learned that it is specifically made to work well with steel cased ammunition. The manufacturer even goes as far to imply that the gun works better with steel, something I've never heard other manufacturers say. Is this a fairly unique...

Does anyone know if the Crickett Pistol from Keystone is exempt from the California DOJ roster? I know that some single action only revolvers are exempt, like the Rough Rider from Heritage.

I'm saving money to buy either a CZ75B or a Browning Hi-Power (both new productions rather than used/vintage) but I have a question regarding their triggers. I can't get to a gun store anytime soon to verify for myself, so I thought I would ask my question here. If I were to carry it, I would...
