I agree with valnar in post # 9 above
"Self, I need a Ford F-250 pick-up truck with dualies to get my job done, but I'll buy a Datsun B-210 sedan because the tires are cheaper! In fact, I know where I can get some used Datsun B-210 tires almost for free, under a rotting tarp in the backyard! What a deal! See how smart I am!"
I think sometimes we're too smart by half. We put the cart before the horse. When it comes to guns that matter, we should always buy the best firearm with the best mags (and other needed accessories) that we can afford. Not only is the original price difference dwarfed by the price of ammo over time, but we always have a firearm that works properly and reliably. Sometimes, that is worth the price of your life or the life of a loved one.
Not buyiing the VZ.58 because it doesn't take AK mags is like saying to yourself:The VZ on other hand uses a different mag
So what? My SIG P220 doesn't take 1911 mags, my Kahr doesn't take Glock mags, and Rugers don't take Beretta mags. I don't understand the issue.
One could easily say that AK47's don't take Vz.58 magazines, which make the Ak inferior. After all, Vz.58 mags are technically better, so why does the AK get to be crowned King?
