What trade in did he give you on the Horse?

Ruger Mark 2 22/45 trigger job, rail, and $300

traded with my brother who sold me the Ruger 10 years ago for $250. He know I was looking for a 97BD but found that 97B for $595 used

Lucky dog!

 

[Zaydok Allen]

I want a 10mm one from CZC, but still need both kidneys.

Oh well.

Do you really need both?

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Do you really need both?

Seems prudent to hang on to them both for another year or two.

Lucky dog!

I never get lucky! like EVER

I had a long bad stretch where I didn't find good deals on any guns I really wanted. But then it all changed and I got one after another. Last really good deal on a used gun was on my Jericho 941, which I got on GB from a pawn shop for $400. Barely fired, and it came with 5 mags!

 

[stanley_white]

Mine arrived.

I like it!

FYI -- if you like plain rear sights instead of dotted rear sights, I took the factory rear sight out and flipped it around and put it back in and things are perfect.

The white dots are now facing forward, but I hit them with some black sharpie marker so they are barely visible.

Sweet! Ya done good.

thanks! I kept wait and wait and waiting for the De-cocker model, but I know when to quit

I hate de-cockers, guns should fire when the hammer drops, but some folks love them.

I know what you mean. All these folks upset that there isn’t a decocker, or that the Tanfoglio designs can have the safety engaged with the hammer down... What good is a decocker? You can’t carry it cocked and locked like J. M. Browning taught us handguns should be carried!

Just stirring the pot. I know that different folks have different strokes, and some even like Glocks.

If CZ wanted the gun to be carried as JMB intended, they would have put the safety in a useful position like Browning did.

If they had, I’d probably be a CZ guy.

dang! never heard you say you hated anything.

Did someone hack your account l? lol

Wait... what? I put the safety right under my shooting hand thumb when I shoot, and it rides there nicely. Am I doing it wrong? How does everyone else hold it?

I carry hammer down with safety up.

Its too far back and high to disengage naturally for me, could be the several times broken thumb or my kinda mutant hands but I greatly dislike how CZ safeties feel and I can’t get them to go as instinctively as 1911 safeties. Same goes for HK.

You would like the CZ Shadow 2’s safety. it even comes with a over sized, easy swap too

and yes, 1/4 cock and safety up

Tried it, and most of the extended and modified options out there (one of my local shops has a good selection of CZs including some of the higher end ones). Just doesn’t work for me. CZs will be decocker only for me, and that’s just fine. I do really want a P01

I wish CZ would make a De-cocker safety. I’m a big fan of safety and decocking

That actually seems a little foreign to me, but of course everyone has different hands. I don’t actually like 1911 safeties all that much. They are in a good spot compared to my hand, but I can’t ride the safety lever as well because my thumb drags on the slide if I grip it as aggressively as my CZs or Tanfoglio. That’s actually probably the biggest reason I haven’t built a 1911 or 2011 yet. That, and where the safety transfixes the frame and meets the beaver tail, it’s shape just doesn’t seem to match my proximal thumb knuckle-whatever you would call that joint.
