    Makarov or Bersa Thunder .380

    I like commie guns, but if your goal is concealed carry the Bersa in its CC configuration is very hard to beat - it carries more rounds than the Ruger LCP and with it I can consistently hit a 6" target at 15 yards. It is thin enough to be a real pocket pistol and just light enough that it...

    Home-Defense and Gun Confiscation?

    Rather than one $1000 gun, two $500 guns should be the way to go if you're worried about confiscation - that way you've got your back-up when homies' friends come looking for you after the police leave.

    Selling my CZs! Zed wasn’t so bad friend but there are better ones

    So, ummm, since they're such crappy guns and all, you should want to let go of 'em pretty cheap right?

    Do You Think BATFE Baits People On THR Or Other Forums?

    Certainly there are memories of BATFE informants soliciting illegal weapons modifications in Boundary County, Idaho. No reason to think it doesn't happen in other places too. Good job staying aware of the law.

    Best Pistol for $800 or Less... Thoughts Wanted

    I have to second and third the folks recommending CZs on this thread - they will fit all his criteria and then some. If he's interested in carry - the P-01 or PCR in 9mm. If he wants a gun for the range/home defense then the 75b or SP-01. In any case - congratulations on the new shooting buddy!

    My new P-06 And a Special Present!

    Puppies are cool and all, but the P-06 rocks! When looking for a .40 I rented XD, Glock, and Sig, but ended up buying the P-06 without test firing based on my 79b experiences. Haven't been disappointed. Current project is to turn it into my carry piece- thin aluminum grips and flush-fitting...

    I feel like ******bag of the year

    I have to echo everyone's statements about the lunesta/ambien and other sleep aids classified as hypnotics. My own personal experience was talking my wife through a frankly terrifiying set of auditory hallucinations. She used to work a very high-stress job in a drug rehab clinic and was...

    How is Sugarland, TX?

    I live in Sugar Land now. The Gander Mountain you're talking about seems well run, though a bit over-priced for the area - especially ammo. Check out Bayou Rifles or PSC (Pearland Shooting Club) for private ranges in the area. American Shooting Center has a public range 15 minutes to the...

    CZ quality control going down hill?

    Very sorry to hear about your experience. I've bought a P-06 and a 75b from them in the last 9 months and been very, very pleased with the performance of both. I think that like some others here, the observation that CZ in general has a lot of experience with full-sized steel weapons is not...

    Calling all CZ owners

    Don't leave out the P06 - if you like the P01, it's the same thing, just bigger bullets :) Seriously - I have a 75B and P06 and love both. For a compact .40 it's amazingly accurate and has no significant recoil to me. Under-rated, but a really sweet gun. If you get the chance to try one you...

    My P01 and it's bigger bore brother the P06 are among the best pistols I've ever fired.

    What if you need to fire in a very crowded area?

    If you have to fire in a crowded area your best strategy is to retain a good lawyer. As others have pointed out - you will be held accountable for your bullets, as is the case here: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nb/heights/news/6487475.html It was a good shoot that stopped an armed...

    Lessening in the scarcity of ammo?

    In the burbs of Houston it's yes and no - Academy has found a reliable supplier of Monarch 9mm for $10.99, but Academy, Gander Mtn, Wally World and Carter's are all chronically short of .380 and .45.

    Mythbusters..

    @longdayjake Historical accounts from the age of wooden ships and iron cannonballs indicate that a passing cannonball would leave bruises across the backs of sailors, and there were always rumors of 'the breath being sucked from their lungs' but never any dismemberment... I suspect a...

    Mythbusters..

    For a late-term baby, gun fire is definitely something they would hear, though I suspect you would not worry about damaging their hearing. Our baby could react to voices and our dog barking at 8 months.

    Most progun movie ever, The Strangers?

    Where to buy EAA Tanfoglio Match in .45?

    @EdLaver- Never seen one at the Gander's in Houston. They are, however, terribly over-priced on other guns. I'll go talk to their gun counter and see how much to order one - thanks for the tip!

    Where to buy EAA Tanfoglio Match in .45?

    Yeah - I pass by Gunbroker pretty much every day. I don't think I would use a 10mm (plus there is a good bit of discussion about frame cracking with the 10mm). Reed's has the Match in other calibers, but not in .45, and there appear to be no .45 conversion kits either. oh well, guess I'll...

    Where to buy EAA Tanfoglio Match in .45?

    I'm a sucker for good, low-cost guns. Interested in the EAA Match in .45 after trying the CZ 97 but found the grips a little too stout. Looking at the EAA's, can't for the life of me find someone that regularly stocks them. Any ideas?
