First off, harry krause has not fired any of these weapons, so you can ignore anything he says as I am aware you have done your own google search. Second, if you can I would find a shop locally like our local store. For 225 dollars you get your safety course, pistol permit and five hours in their indoor range to fire anything in the case, you buy the ammo. After your course you can spend 5 hours firing as many weapons as you like till you find on that feels right to you... and that is in my opinion is as important as any other aspect of using the tool. I go back to my first guitar. I asked my Promoter friend what to buy, he said I can't tell you. So I got more inisitant and told him were and how I was gonna' play, what style I wanted to play, and even noted certain songs I wanted to play.. Again he said, I can't tell you. He continued by saying. Look Scotty, you need to go to a shop and play a guitar, then another... Don't even buy a guitar till you have played... say, uh... at least 20, yeah 20 guitars. You will not play well, and probably not play at all, if the guitar you buy doesn't feel right in your hands.. Like shoes, shocks, guitars, golf club, any tool.. The more comfortable you are with it in your hand, the better it will work for you... Just my .02... Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! |

Limp wristing is associated with a semi-auto failing to cycle properly. Dumb little ****. |

He's about convinced me that he and I want the guns for different reasons, and that I may be better off with something other than the S&W he bought. He bought his purely for home/personal protection and won't be shooting it much. I want one I can take to the range with the grandkids and shoot some targets. So I probably won't go with the S&W. Looked at a CZ75BD Police 9mm today, along with a bunch of others. I've decided to go with 9mm, even though it has less 'stopping power' than the .40 cal. Just have to shoot a couple more times!

You won't have to shoot a couple more times with a 9 mm if you aim properly. Also a 9 mm will cycle faster. I test fired the 75BD for 50 rounds at a range south of Springfield, VA, and it convinced me to get a custom CZ. Mine is SAO only, with an ambi safety, which I prefer to a decocker. Field stripping a CZ for cleaning is a little different than it is on competing pistols. The slide rides differently, too. I use Sellier & Bellot 115 gr FMJ for target ammo. It shoots a lot cleaner than most of the other practice ammos I've tried, especially the Winchester "white box." |

He bought his purely for home/personal protection and won't be shooting it much. I want one I can take to the range with the grandkids and shoot some targets. So I probably won't go with the S&W. Looked at a CZ75BD Police 9mm today, along with a bunch of others. I've decided to go with 9mm, even though it has less 'stopping power' than the .40 cal. Just have to shoot a couple more times! This is the one I'm thinking of:http://tinyurl.com/b9sfjwp Besides, Prague is probably my favorite city to visit in Europe! Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! You won't have to shoot a couple more times with a 9 mm if you aim properly. Also a 9 mm will cycle faster. I test fired the 75BD for 50 rounds at a range south of Springfield, VA, and it convinced me to get a custom CZ. Mine is SAO only, with an ambi safety, which I prefer to a decocker. Field stripping a CZ for cleaning is a little different than it is on competing pistols. The slide rides differently, too. I use Sellier & Bellot 115 gr FMJ for target ammo. It shoots a lot cleaner than most of the other practice ammos I've tried, especially the Winchester "white box." Czech loads for a Czech pistol. Makes sense to me... I don't mind cleaning a pistol, so I won't be investing big bucks for target practice. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! |

Have fun.. let us know if you take a few whacks at the Desert Eagle:) Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' answer to a lost argument! Well, now I'm having second thoughts all around. Wife's car needs new brakes and tires. Talked some more with my brother, the one who bought the S&W SD40VE. He's about convinced me that he and I want the guns for different reasons, and that I may be better off with something other than the S&W he bought. He bought his purely for home/personal protection and won't be shooting it much. I want one I can take to the range with the grandkids and shoot some targets. So I probably won't go with the S&W. Looked at a CZ75BD Police 9mm today, along with a bunch of others. I've decided to go with 9mm, even though it has less 'stopping power' than the .40 cal. Just have to shoot a couple more times! This is the one I'm thinking of: http://tinyurl.com/b9sfjwp Besides, Prague is probably my favorite city to visit in Europe! Salmonbait If you are looking for something to use with the "kids" I would pick a .22 in the Ruger Mark ??? line. If all you want to do is punch holes in targets then the .22 would be the most cost effective. The secondary purpose of the pistol would be home/personal defense - in case some asshole starts using my head as a basketball on the sidewalk! Remmington 870 Isn't that a long gun? Yup. FWIW, I've decided to take your advice, and that of my brothers - both Smith and Wesson fans. So, I just placed an order for this pistol. You'll note that it is 'Made in the USA'. http://www.gandermountain.com/modper...view&from=grid or: http://tinyurl.com/bk46w3v Thanks to everyone for all the good advice. Salmonbait You will enjoy shooting the .40 S&W. |
