    The CZ Club

    Scored a used CZ85 at a local gun store; frame/grips/finish is overall quite good, looks like some minor wear on the top of the barrel near the chamber end.

    The Gun Trafficking Prevention Act Of 2015

    A-freakin'-men. Enforce the existing laws; don't burden the American people with yet another law that politicians and their appointed bureaucrats are too lazy and/or gutless to enforce

    How Effective Are Machineguns vs. Tanks?

    In a theoretical, "anything's possible" sense of the word, then, yes, a machinegun could, conceivably pose a threat to even a Abrams. A very heavy MG (think light auto cannon, really) could manage a mobility kill; exposed optics and commo gear (just the antenna[s], really) might get...

    Restaurant (w/Liquor License) & Indoor Gun Range

    I appreciate the links, folks; they're actually helping me out on another forum, in which some hard-line antis are castigating this as the worst idea imaginable, with typical "Doom! DOOOOOM!!" hysterics. My responses, essentially pointing out that this particular case is hardly "new...

    Restaurant (w/Liquor License) & Indoor Gun Range

    I know I made the poll public, but I'll admit that I chose "Maybe." I would want to have a look-see for my own self, to see if the management is actually adhering to and enforcing their stated policy, before patronizing their establishment.

    Restaurant (w/Liquor License) & Indoor Gun Range

    Florida officials OK booze-serving gun range — because they think it will be safer than others Sorry for the lurid (and inflammatory) title, but that's a direct quote of the article's title - so you can probably figure out on your own what the reporter and editorial staff think of the idea...

    Are Glocks Ugly?

    #7. And I do look at aesthetics, but it's not my top priority in any firearm.

    Are gun owners getting more senseless, negligent, or is the media covering guns more?

    In the late 90's, I read a really good scholarly book, an anthology I guess you might call it, composed of lots of articles and snippets from lawyers, doctors, statisticians, psychologists, etc., about the psychology and science around the gun control movement; a very well balanced piece that...

    Let's hear from the Walther P99 owners......

    My P99AS isn't necessarily the last 9mm I will ever buy, but it is certainly the last 9mm I need to buy; I have not found its equal out-of-box.

    PSA encourages kids to steal parents guns and turn in to teachers at school

    The video has been changed to "Private." I'm not familiar enough with YouTube; what does "Private" mean?

    First 1911 all I can say is wow

    I'm holding the line at three, but I can't pass up a gun case at a store or a table at a show that has 1911s without I stop and give 'em a once over. I usually see at least one that looks like it wants to come home with me, and, inexplicably, my wallet materializes in my hand somehow, and I...

    Texas proposes alcohol sales at some gun shows

    One of our local gun shows has a concession stand with a 3.2% light beer on tap. Has had it for 6+ years. The world has, so far, continued to spin on unconcerened. ETA: I've had a beer with my brisket basket (real good brisket for a basic concession stand!) for lunch while attending said...

    Ferguson, MO: A New Twist?

    Uhm...no, I'm not. Re-read my OP. I'm reporting on some things I'm reading on the internet. Someone else is using the shooting, the aftermath, and response, in a circular argument to make an anti-Second Amendment case. The argument basically goes: 1. Because of the Second Amendment, the...

    Ferguson, MO: A New Twist?

    I'll preface by saying that I don't watch network news. I get most of my news from a local talk-radio station, and gleaning by context from various internet sources. Having said that, I have been paying attention to the events transpiring in Ferguson, and surrounding communities. I'm a Field...

    The Walther CCP?

    Good. Let Ulm stick to the top-end guns like the -99 and PPQ.

    Which gun would you chose ? A 1911 or a Striker fired design ?

    Well, I can be stupid about 1911's so it'd definitely get a look. But for EDC, my love doesn't extend to the extra weight.

    What To Buy Next?

    For the 9mm a couple of different pistols will do you right. So, in my order of preference: 1. Walther P99AS, or Walther PPQ (M1 or M2, your preference). Striker-fired polymer gun, great ergos, and best out-of-box trigger in a striker-fired pistol. The P99 and PPQ M1 use the paddle-mag...

    Ok 1911 freaks, what's the downside to paying $699.00 for the Sig Tac-Ops on Slickgun

    Looking at the ad, the pics all lool like stock photos anyone could crib from the internets. I, personally, would want to see some good, hi-resolution pics of the actual firearm being sold. Don't get me wrong; if legit, this appears to be a very sweet deal. Again, my reservation says...
