Just got first estimate for a sprinkler system. Five zones, front and back for $2950. That was a
surprise. I would have guessed $8-10K. That's with three year warranty. Surprise, surprise. Will see
what the next estimate looks like.

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

My Kimber works just fine. It's not on You Tube. If you're seriously considering buying a Kimber,
which is the only reason I can imagine you're doing Kimber searches on You Tube, please reconsider.
I'm sure you'd be disappointed in your purchase.

Me? I'll stick with my Kimber. Shoots anything I put in it very well.

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.

So far, Krause is the only one I've heard bad words from. Of course that's 'cause he doesn't own one

Yeah, the 22/45 Lite might be a good weight for you. The Hunter is in the middle of the Mark IV
pack. Although, the aluminum grip framed Target will save about 8oz. I don't find the weight to be a
problem though.

Well, I've owned that pistol you have in the Mark III version. It was a
fine shooter, but my experience since tells me that barrel length and
weight are not necessary in a .22LR pistol for me to shoot accurately
enough to please myself. Of course, when I screw on the suppressor, the
barrel length gets a bit out of hand, but it is a lightweight piece.

At the moment, only the 22/45 Lite has a threaded barrel.

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.


..45 is better in most situations. The 357 goes through the perp, couple
walls and kills or injure someone a long ways away. .45 has lots of knock
down power and will not travel a long ways. Best on a 357 for defense is
hollow base wad cutters loaded base out. Super hollow point. Friend was a
cop and shot at a robber and the shot upwards so would not hit any cars on
highway 101. About a mile later went through the sheet metal wall and hit
a women in the neck. She was injured but not killed. He has flash backs
every time he goes by the building.

I use Hornady Critical Defense ammo in my .357 MAG revolver, six in the
cylinder and six in this speed loader:

http://tinyurl.com/z5qjpxq

Here's a vid on the ammo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTWFbuzX-l8

I've shot a few of these rounds for practice, but when I shoot targets,
I use far less expensive ammo. The Hornady is about twice as much as my
ball practice ammo.

What is an example of the problems. My neighbor is a Kimber guy, he
has several and I never hear a bad word about them.


So far, Krause is the only one I've heard bad words from. Of course
that's 'cause he doesn't own one
and I do.

Have you ever heard him say something nice about another's
possession? Hell, he wouldn't even
compliment his BFF's brand new Bayliner!


I like the new Ruger Mark IV, but I wouldn't pick the heavy model
without a threaded barrel. The breakdown mechanism sure is an
improvement.


That's a random response to this thread. Did you consider starting a

Just about any center fire pistol shooting hard ball ammo will shoot

If I wanted a 1911 clone that fired .45 ACP, I'd get one. I don't like

The problem is reliable feeding of a rimmed case in a semi auto.
Certainly there are guns that pull it off but the semi rim seems a lot
easier to feed. The flip side of that is the difficulty of chambering
a semi rim in a revolver without moon clips. Some will headspace off
the case neck but then they can be sensitive to ammo.

Revolvers are OK and have rock solid reliability as long as you are OK
with keeping them loaded and only think you will need 5 or 6 shots.
SAs a faster to load, if you store it unloaded, carry more shots and
is flatter if you CCW.
I can argue both sides ;-)
I have both. My most accurate is probably my OM Colt .38 revolver.
Most instinctive to shoot is my 1934 Barretta and in a serious social
situation I want my KP90 Ruger. I also have a Saturday Night Special
double stack Ring of Fire 9mm (Bryco/Jennings 9) that was just an
offer I could not refuse. Surprisingly, it seems to work better than I

If I need more than six revolver shots for personal defense, then I
should have brought a rifle with hi-cap mags. One hit from the .357 MAG

my first go-to firearm for home defense is a shotgun.

My experience with S/A revolvers is that they are not faster to load

I always hear this but I was never sure why people think it is true.
Handling 2 1/2 feet of shotgun in the confines of a house is not
really that easy. You are just begging for having it taken away from
you unless you are just hiding behind the bed.

My experience with S/A revolvers is that they are not faster to load

I always hear this but I was never sure why people think it is true.
Handling 2 1/2 feet of shotgun in the confines of a house is not
really that easy. You are just begging for having it taken away from
you unless you are just hiding behind the bed.

My experience with S/A revolvers is that they are not faster to load
than a D/A revolver with a speed loader.


I guess you have never watched any of the IDPA guys.



I doubt I'll encounter one in a gunfight.

The point is if you watch the competitions you will see that even
these highly trained shooters take longer to load a revolver than a
semi auto. You also get more rounds in a magazine than a speed loader,
maybe 3x or more.

I think Harry thought you meant 'single action' when you used 'SA' way back when. Then Harry began
talking about S/A revolvers as though that's what you meant.

Surely he's not trying to say it's faster to load a revolver, even with a speed loader, than to pop
out and pop in a magazine in a SA.

I thought he was talking about single action revolvers, too. Loading a
double action revolver is faster, as is emptying the spent brass.

When I took my first firearms safety course out at a range off of Route
50 out near Dulles airport, the instructor spent a lot of time
explaining how to clear problems that arise with semi-auto
pistols...stovepipes, failures to fire, et cetera. I had a round jam
tight once in a rented Glock out at a range. I didn't want to mess with
it, so I put the pistol down, facing in the proper direction, and called
over the range officer. He was glad to take care of the problem for me.
You might have an occasional problem with a revolver, but it probably
isn't going to be because of the round.

I don't dislike semi-auto pistols, but if my life depended upon a
handgun, I'd prefer it to be a Smith & Wesson or Ruger .357 Mag double
action revolver. Pull the trigger and it is going to go bang. Knock on
plastic, I never had a problem with the .357s I've owned or just shot
from either manufacturer.

I wasn't comparing a semi auto pistol to a double action revolver.
