Bit of a story, but there is a question in it.
I recently (a couple of weeks ago) re-acquired my old flame, a CZ-82. Long story short, the very next day (in fact less than twelve hours after I bought the CZ-82) my friend Todd gave me this call:
"Hey *******, someone posted a Sistema on Midwestguntrader.com. I've wanted one..." blah blah "... So I'm going to sell either my Sigma or my Ruger GP100 to help pay for it. If you want, I'll give you a good friend discount on either."
!
I spent $360 total for the CZ, two extra factory magazines, and four boxes of ammo. Here he is offering two guns that I'd been mulling over for a long time and he's going to throw in a discount. If he had said anything else this frustrating I'd have gone over to his house and beat him to within an inch of his life, or kick his smart-ass cat.
He wants $325 on the Sigma, $375 on the Ruger. My price, everyone else would have to pay $25 more for either.
This made me put my CZ up for sale. But when I gave the MWGT ad's some looking over, Todd's offer stopped being my number one frustration (the others being the Chiefs and the Rams). There is a Taurus 92AF for sale, and an EAA EZ9. I've been doing some research on all of them and the results are mixed. Mostly because Glock owners love to toy with us who [strike]are heterosexual[/strike] don't share their peculiar love.
I'm going to be using this pistol mainly as a range pistol. I want to hit things 20 yards away. At the same time, I want something I can use in the unlikely event that I'm put into a Self-Defense situation. Preferably something that doesn't have expensive magazines, that's where I struck-out on the CZ-82 as ALL magazines for it are $30+.
Since the CZ-82 is going to be sold tomorrow, I've got to ask, which do you guys prefer? I'm going to leave the Ruger GP100 out because it's the one thing Todd loves more than his girlfriend and I love bringing that up to spite her.
