Hi everyone, I'm a new member of the club! Bought a CZ-75B with the Omega trigger last week, and I'll be picking it up this weekend. Can't wait to shoot it, given all I've heard about these guns! Does anyone have any tips or links on care and maintenance? I've got a 1911 that I'm familiar...

Funny you should ask. I'm a certified noob. On my first gun, only 300 rounds through it, just learning how to aim and shoot. Anyway, I'm spraying bullets all over, covering an area about 24" by 18", starting below the '10' but centered left-to-right. While reloading, I notice the fellow next...

That reminds me of a sci-fi book I read once. (Heinlein maybe?) The constitution they used was a Jefferson Mk 7, which had at its base the assumption that anyone who wanted power was exactly the kind of person you didn't want to give it to. Thus the president was picked randomly from a...

Thanks so much!

Howdy, New gun owner here. I've been learning to take down, clean, and reassemble my 1911 from youtube. Its very handy, but as you can imagine not ideal in many ways. I have some very basic questions I need answers to. 1. How much oil in the barrel? Some people say "none! that's...

This. The depth and breadth of knowledge here is amazing. Combined with people who are wiling (and eager) to share. Amazing!

Before I spout on the internet, I should say I have never fired this weapon. I'm recommending you look into it, not get it outright. But it was one of the front runners when I was looking to make a purchase myself. Check out the Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact. Its kinda got everything. *...

I don't think he's saying "everyone" KB. I'm often amazed how tunnel-visioned some people are about 2A rights, keeping themselves blind to other issues concerning rights just as fundamental to America. I appreciate the comment.

I agree, of course. By the way, did I mention that this thread is awesome!

Ya, but of course the response is that the 2A says the military should have guns, not the populace,. So feel free to start the amendment process if YOU want "all the terrible implements of the soldier". :D

"A right not exercised is a right lost." I know its harder to do than to say. Trust me.

Hey AA, I am aware of the deficiency of the simple statement. I appreciate you pointing it out. When arguing 2A I find it easier to simplify so as not to be distracted by the intricacies of nuance. Yes, it is a poor choice of words in that it is not accurate. But it keeps the argument away...

Indeed it is! It is my understanding that at the time it was written the definition of "militia" was (forgive my paraphrase) any able-bodied man under the age of 40 who was willing to fight to defend freedom. Of course in a modern society we realize that more than just males under 40 are able...

Personally, I'd rather have the 7.62. Bigger bullet, more stopping power. Of course, my answer involves a "training issue". I'm not much of a shooter, so I'm not hitting anything at long range anyway. $0.02

I'm more accustomed to talking with liberals than about them. Care to educate me on the terminology?
