Did you and your buddy ever come up with a suggestion of the .45 I'm going to buy? Tried to call,

but no answer.

CZ 97B if you are man enough.

I've qualified with the M1911A1 about a dozen times. You reckon the CZ 97B requires more of a man?

How many times have you qualified with a .45, Harry?

I'm taking my 85 year old dad to the shooting range next week to shoot some pistols. One we'll take is a 1911 that he hand built. Match grade barrel, adjustable trigger, etc. Very accurate. The military grade ones are puposefully set up "loose", they rattle when you shake them, but it's on purpose so they don't jam with a grain of sand. This one is tight and more accurate, and is sweet! He's been promising it to me for years, but I'm in no hurry for it. I hope he gets to shoot for sor many more years before it passes to me.

I've been reloading some lately, and need to burn through some .38's that are reloads I don't like. I'll load them back up with something better. Reloading make the .45 much more reasonable to shoot at the range as well! The 9mm Makarov is super cheap when you buy in 500 round quantities, and good for plinking.

My brother's trying to talk me out of the Colt .45 idea and into a Browning Hi Power 9mm. He's got
me thinking about it, that's for sure - especially when the cost of ammo comes up. How much would it
take to get started in the reloading process?

more than you really want to invest,. John. If a guy's gonna go out ad
burn up a few hundred rounds at the range, then re-loading is a good
option. But otherwise, if you're just going to have a side arm (or
rifle) around and not planning on using it unless need be, then it's
not worth the set up etc.

My .357, 44 mag etc. I dont' go through a box of 20 a year. I figure I
know how to aim and shoot them . Why burn up brass for the heck of it?



He can stash the reloading gear in the closet, next to his guitar.
