    Is there a 45acp....

    I was going to suggest the PPQ45, but it comes with a polygonal barrel, so if you're shooting lead, that might be an issue. Other than that, I second (or third) the CZ97 in non-decocker version.

    Describe battlefields you walked

    Marlin's post reminded me -- I was in Berlin not too long after the Wall came down and wandered quite a bit in the East section -- lots of building facades were still pockmarked by bullet and shell fragments -- weird.

    Side-by-side HKP7, CZ PCR pics?

    Does anyone have side-by-side comparison photos of the HKP7 and the CZ PCR? I'm down to these two. PCR great feel for me + 14 rounds + NIB with warranty + reported trigger issues that may require some smithing (@250 w/shipping) - P7 reported excellent accuracy ++ good feel +...

    p-06 v. 941 .45 mid v. p99 .40

    Yes, I know, three very different platforms, calibers, etc. However... with eventual CCW in mind, I'm soliciting comments from those who have or have shot these three pistols, or any combination of two. From research, looks and handling, I like each for different reasons and woud like to get...
