    Questions on the CZ-75 / TA-90 safety

    I am afraid you are identifying the wrong gun. I have a TA-90 with the frame-mounted safety just like the CZ-75 guns have. Your exploded parts view looks like my earlier Tanfoglio TZ-75 with the SLIDE MOUNTED SAFETY. But thanks anyway....

    Questions on the CZ-75 / TA-90 safety

    Hi all. Recently I acquired one of the ex-Israeli TA-90 pistols. Was in fine shape except for the wood grips that I just this week replaced with a new set..My only question is, now this: Isn't the safety supposed to click into position? Like SNAP it's now down and off ...or conversely ...SNAP...

    What is the deal with the "disappearing" combat trigger guards???

    The early Beretta 92 pistols had the more aethetically pleasing round trigger-guard. All ix of my Beretta 92 variations have the round trigger-guard....both of my Taurus 92/99 pistols have the hooked trigger-guard. I can work with either style.....but my preference is the rounded TG. If you...

    What do y'all know about this??

    I have two Zastava pistols and I consider them quite well made. I have a very old original military M88 (acquired used) that has held up well to use over a dozen years with ammunition most people can't fire or won't fire. The CZ-99 I have owned longer and it has held up and worked like a champ...

    Initial thoughts about KelTec P11

    Carried Kel-Tec from before K-T CALLED it the P-11!!! Over the past 20+ years, I wore a Kel-Tec 9mm for up to 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, year after year. My auto pistol is so old it has only a 3-digit SN...... ( It's in the 400 range ) Over the years it has fired 1200-1500 rounds..... not...

    Got drunk and bought a gun on GB....

    The C.O.P. is from a California company (now out-of-business 'surprised? ...not me..') called M&N Distributors.I worked with the M&N people for some weeks in the mid-70s to invent, develop and build a rimless extractor system for the COP to allow it to be made in rimless calibers.....380 acp, 38...

    Colt Commander v. Lightweight Commander

    According to my postal scale, The Combat Commander weighs 34.5 ounces empty with mag. My 1969 era Commander weighs 26.5 ounces......eight ounces i a LOT if you're carrying all day, every day. Good holsters can help, but when the weight difference is that of two loaded mags, I'll carry the...

    9mm JHP Thread

    Right now...as for many years, I load my carry guns with a mixture of old Gold Dot +P and Canadian FMJ ball. The mix starts with maybe two Canadian ball (more if hi-cap) loaded one FMJ then a HP, another FMJ, and the HP to the capacity of the mag. So we can have the penetration of the FMJ should...

    DWM Luger P.08 Collector's don't even know!

    With clean photos I believe I could ID your Luger. 1) true commercial guns had NO letters - only numbers 2) What caliber is it? 30 Luger or 9mm? 3) Many 1920 Commercials were sold with the stock lug ground off befor finishing this should look exactly like a pre-1914 Luger that never had the...

    It's down to two - help me choose

    IMHO you could not go wrong with either of your choices. I must admit I prefer the Beretta 92 (older ITALIAN made 92 guns like the 92, the 92S and SB) more than the US manufacture guns. I find the finish finer and the operation smoother. And I buy used guns much more often than new guns. Beretta...

    Are HK pistols worth the money?

    Are HKs worth the money? I own two HKs....a VP-70z - THE ORIGINAL POLYMER PISTOL and a P9S ...... and have owned a third (the rare precursor to the P9S - the P9). Both of these pistols were bought for the cost - or less - of a Browning HP when they were bought. No, I've never had a failure to...

    My Walther P38 Exploded today.

    The P-38 has been known to occasionally crack one of the spring 'fingers' on the top cover and eventually the top cover comes off during recoil and "BAM"....it's time to find the up to five parts that disappear into the weeds. First, you need a new, strong, UNDAMAGED top cover. Second, a rear...

    Opinion Of Sigma?

    I was wandering at a local gun show a year or so after the S&W Sigma came on the market. On one table Sat a Sigma SW9V for a cheap price. It was what I called a 'grey ghost' - a Sigma SW9V with two hi-caps with a stainless steel slide and grey grip frame - and it was LNIB at $235. Everything...

    V Bernadelli P1

    Never seen a Bernardelli P-1 in Stainless..... all my PO-18s and P-1s are blued. Great guns, however. Parts could be a bit of a problem, but now their being made in Turkey and I bet most of those parts will interchange. Spare magazines have been a problem (unless Pro-Mag is your mag......not for...
