    Baby Eagle Jericho Grip Choices

    There aren't any that I'm aware of. I've talked to a couple guys that made wood grips for CZ pistols. Both would need me to make a mold of the baby eagle and I'm not all that comfortable with dipping my jericho in paste. It's definitely a niche market that could keep someone busy.

    "Best for Bears" caliber poll

    460 S&W since I already have one. I would feel ok with any 44 mag and up. It's not really and issue for me anymore. I'm not living in bear country. There have been some sightings in the south. Nothing substantial though.

    Whats your daily carry gun.

    I carry a CZ Rami 9mm alloy frame. In a Crossbreed supertuck. I occasionally carry a S&W 19 or a LCP if it's the summer and I'm in shorts. I've been carrying my full size RIA a lot more now that I've gotten used to carrying more.

    how many guns do you take to the range

    I make sure that I spend time at least every other week shooting my EDC. Most of the time those trips are only spent shooting the EDC. If I go to the range any other time I tend to take 3-7 firearms. Depending on the day and range I'm going to.

    How do you describe yourself as a shooter?

    At different times in my life I've been each. In my youth I shot only shotguns and just for hunting purposes. Joined the military and lived the rifle for 6 years in the infantry. After I got out I got interested in handguns and shot primarily handguns for 6 years. Now I'm back to being a...

    what is your go to gun?

    My go to firearm is my FN SLP police & SCAR. My handgun would be my CZ-75. I have a ton of magazines and lots of 9mm defense ammo. I would be comfortable with any handgun I have in my safe though. I wouldn't keep anything that hasn't been reliable. __________________ 12 gauge ammo

    Most accurate? Revolver or pistol?

    Fixed barrel, single action trigger, perfect balance (for me 5"). I really like the Performance Center S&W 327 I have. For auto's the 1911 and Sphinx are very close to a revolver for me. I would say that which ever you practice with the most, will be the best for you. __________________...

    Guns colt should start making again.

    Only when/if the economy rebounds, would Colt be able to sell enough revolvers to turn a profit. Even with the current economy there is a market for a Colt 2" 38spl/357 mag. I know I would pay the premium for a new Colt 2". As long as the quailty is on par with the classics I would be willing...

    Whats on your wish list?

    I really want to get a StG 44 replica. There is a semi auto version that I got to shoot this summer. Finding ammo will be pretty tough but it's on my short list of firearms I really want to have. I also need to get a Stainless CZ-75 & a CZ 97. After that there isn't much on my list of...

    How many of you own ONLY 100% reliable semi-autos?

    I've had a couple handguns that weren't 100% reliable, but I quickly got them fixed or traded/sold them away. I've only had 3 that were problems though.

    Build A Glock?

    I thought about building a steel framed Glock just for the fun of it. I ended up being lazy and just picked up a G23. It might be cheaper to find a police trade in to work on and then go the direction your heart desires.

    .380's?

    Any of the models the OP listed are good options. I went with the LCP as my backup. I looked hard at the Kel Tec but was willing to pay a bit more for the better finish of the LCP. I really only carry mine in the summer. Now that the weather is getting a bit cooler it's been moved back to...

    How Much Ammo on Hand?

    I keep around 1,000 rounds of factory fmj of each caliber that I commonly use. I also have around 300 rounds of jhp. I purchase 500 rounds of whatever jhp I'm going to carry/use and run a couple hundred rounds through to check function. I used to keep more ammo on hand but now that I reload...

    What will the next big advancement be?

    It will be quite a bit in the future maybe 30-50 years, but we will see rail guns eventually. They are going to be ship based first and then will move to vehicles, and then handheld. Rail guns offer cheaper ammunition and the ability bust walls and heavy armor. We just need nano batteries to...

    Accuracy:1911 vs. S&W Revolver?

    As long as you compare apples to apples I would lean towards the S&W revolver. If you put equal amounts of money into each you are going to have a handgun that will probably out shoot your ability. Real accuracy comes from years of practice with a single model whichever you end up preferring...
