Oh, you should definitely go for it...yeah... You know something about sprinkler systems? Now go to You Tube. Startling. https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...roblem+with+cz You call "About 861,000 results" only 'a few'. Wow. === I know someone with a custom CZ very similar to the one Harree claims to have owned. It's very reliable and accurate. I'm sure it is. I was simply making a point to Harree. 'Problem with Kimber' in You Tube gets "About 8,590 results" compared to "About 861,000 results" for 'problem with CZ' That's quite startling! Yeah, the 8500 Kimber hits have to do with problems with Kimber firearms. Almost all the 851,000 results you cited for CZ have nothing to do with CZ firearms. Hell, all guns can have a problem. My Ithaca Mdl 37 20ga jammed first time out pheasant hunting. Had a small piece of metal from the machining stuck in the action. Do not know where it was hiding, as I cleaned shotgun after buying. Then the worse POS I still have is a Remington semiauto 30.06. Is known as the jam-o-matic. I haven't had any serious issues with any of the firearms I've owned. I did have a short-term issue with my Mini 14 going into a sort of autofire mode, but I fixed that with a couple of turns of a trigger adjustment screw I had installed. I'm not a fan of the "1911" model or the .45 ACP ammo. The typical .357 MAG round is more of a stopper when you need it, and you can fire .38 Special rounds in a .357 MAG revolver. Some people can afford to have both and enjoy some variety at the range. BTW - .45 ACP ammo doesn't exist. It's .45 Auto. Oh, then I suppose this seller and many other sellers of .45 ACP ammo are providing non-existent ammo: https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/310-45-acp If I wanted a 1911 clone that fired .45 ACP, I'd get one. I don't like the pistols or the rounds much. The.357 MAGs hit harder in self-defense situations. If I were interested in the .45 ACP round, though, I'd consider a dual load .45 revolver, like this Ruger Redhawk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfcWPOecspQ The sellers are wrong and not providing non-existent ammo. The ammo pictured by this seller is labeled correctly - .45 Auto. A .45 Automatic Colt Pistol is a firearm - not a cartridge. I'm sure we can both agree that Hornady is at the top when it comes to quality ammunition. Try to find .45 ACP *anywhere* in their catalog: http://www.hornady.com/store/45-Auto In response to your rant - some people can afford to have several firearms for a variety of purposes. I have a few .357 Magnums and enjoy firing them, too. My Ruger SP101 is a great self-defense firearm and I prefer it over the J-frames. There's a lot of personal preference when it comes to guns and different calibers. I'm lucky enough that I no longer have to sell a gun in order to buy a new gun. |

I'm lucky enough that I no longer have to sell a gun in order to buy a new gun. I have an old trooper that I got right after the OM. Both are pretty much twins except the OM has a bull barrel and the trooper has the longer .357 cylinder. Both stay in the safe pretty much all the time. My go to house gun is the Ruger KP90 and I have the Barretta in a quick access compartment near the front door just in case something does come up and I want it in my pocket. My 1897 and M1A are in a quick open, locked compartment in the bedroom in case the philistines are really coming over the hill. For the most parts I still think of these as "safes" since they are hard to get into and pretty hard to find. That "building" stuff really comes in handy if you want to lose a few cubic feet in a place that is hard to triangulate on. ;-) |

I bought one used when a friend wanted my Ruger ..30 carbine pistol. The Ruger was an interesting firearm, but unless you were reloading ammo, was nasty to shoot. Huge fireball, and I understand it was the 3rd noisiest handgun made. |

I bought one used when a friend wanted my Ruger .30 carbine pistol. The Ruger was an interesting firearm, but unless you were reloading ammo, was nasty to shoot. Huge fireball, and I understand it was the 3rd noisiest handgun made. That is a common problem with pistols and carbines, going either way. The stuff I was loading for my Ruger carbine was nasty in a 29 Smith but it performed a whole lot better than the regular commercial 44 mag ammo, designed for a pistol. If you are really working up the load for a particular barrel length, you have to match the speed of the powder to the burn time before it gets to the muzzle. They complain about the SoCom M1A for the same problem. Regular 7.62x51 ammo is still burning on high when the bullet comes out and the blast is supposed to be brutal. My biggest problem with the 44 was, out of my carbine, it beat the crap out of my bullet trap in the basement. My chronograph was a home built, made from 2821 cards so I needed 120v and it is hard to find a place to shoot with power. I had to put a sheet or two of plywood in front of the trap to scrub off a little speed. Fortunately I knew construction guys then too and they gave me lots of small pieces of scrap. I am not sure where my log book is but I had lots of loads I played with in there. |

"The sellers are wrong..." because Alex the building supplies sales manager knows more than the big-time sellers of ammo. I get it. I don't have to sell a gun to buy a new gun, either. I'm not a gun collector. The only firearms I have and keep are the ones I shoot regularly...until I get bored with them. Have nice day. |
