    P-64/9x18 ammo/CCW thoughts wanted

    I carry a CZ 82. I use this ammunition: http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=220 To my way of thinking the 115 grain flat point is a good compromise between fmj and hollowpoint, for this caliber anyway. They are expensive, though.

    Your thoughts on the CZ-82

    I recommend getting several. FWIW, my CZ 82 is my carry gun, and I couldn't be happier with it.

    CZ-82 question

    Steel Feed ramp. Also steel everything else, barring grips, mag follower, and a few small parts. If you're still waffling, you can add my vote to the "get it now" list. Actually get 2 or 3.

    Appendix Holster Questions

    I carry my CZ-82 in the appendix position. My holster is a FIST # 17A. http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/17A.htm It is adjustable, but I have it set to straight drop, with a med-high ride.That works best for me.

    Selling guns, should I sell my extra mags and accessories with the guns or separately

    I'd include whatever came with the gun originally, then use the others as bargaining chips to throw in on a deal. than sell the rest on GB or Ebay.

    Value of Witness Elite Stock LNIB?

    I agree with joe. About 700 is what I'd look for, a little more is not out of line Stock is not equal to match, different prices

    Are HK pistols worth the money?

    I work at a range. I am by no means an expert, but I do get to see lots of weapons firing lots of rounds, and get to fire more than a few myself. My experience with HK's: Good: Some are extremely comfy to shoot (p30, p2000, HK45). Seem to be well designed and put together. Whenever I take...

    22 Target Pistol

    It depends on what you want to use it for. Both the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger pistols are excellent, affordable pistols that offer great accuracy and aftermarket parts support. Nevertheless, they are not as accurate in stock form as a S&W 41, or a Haemmerli or other dedicated match...

    Would you carry a gun you've never shot?

    JT- yes, they spend some time with the platform, i.e. M-16, M-4, M-9, whatever, but I believe he was saying that they may not get the opportunity to test the particular weapon that they are issued.

    Would you carry a gun you've never shot?

    I disagree. The OP simply asks if you would carry a gun that you had not shot. Makes no distinction on the situation. Oh? I'm not a soldier, nor do I play one on TV, but I doubt this is the case. I don't think insurgents bother too much about this, for example. Even if it were the case, the...

    Would you carry a gun you've never shot?

    It would not give me a warm fuzzy feeling to do so, but if the choice is unarmed or a gun that you are reasonably sure will work, then the choice is clear.

    Fun shooting an asprin with a 22 cal @ 22 feet

    I saw a few other holes in the targets, possibly from other attempts? Either way, very nice shooting. I work at a local range when I'm not in school, and on slow days we set up empty cases on the target frames and shoot at those. Depending on wind and how we're feeling we'll use anything from...

    Maximization of the Efficiency of Firearms Though Thermal Mechanics

    I was wondering about this too. Especially with a hypothetical setup like a hot-loaded snub-nosed.357 magnum, a significant part of the powder burns outside of the barrel, when the bullet has obviously left. Perhaps lower pressure rounds, such as rimfires would allow you to make this assumption...

    Maximization of the Efficiency of Firearms Though Thermal Mechanics

    gearhead- Yeah, I was just asking for demonstration. I've taken thermo courses, but not done any applications as regards to firearms, so was curious. Bullet would heat up too.

    an apology

    Howdy, I read your earlier thread but did not get involved in it. One thing you might consider is that many of the posters probably felt the same defensiveness you did towards your degree when you referred to Engineering as "Physics Light". I know I did, as an Engineering degree-seeker myself...

    Maximization of the Efficiency of Firearms Though Thermal Mechanics

    It would be helpful if you stated what constant values you are using, and to explain your variables. It's pretty confusing. 1/2 is also a fraction, but if half of your energy was going into heating the bbl, that's not negligible. I'm sure you know this, I'm just interested to see if you have...

    What do you do when a fly lands on your target?

    I've done this too, was just plinking, and the fly just landed on the target, begging to be shot. 7 yds, Browning Buckmark.
