This is certainly my heaviest firearm. It's an Armalite AR-50A1
chambered in .50 BMG. Without the 2 lb scope it weighs 38 lbs. I'm
going to take it to the 1000 yard range a few hours from my home. I
have to decide between a soft case or a Pelican case before I can take
it anywhere. No one seems to offer a holster for it.

Just put it in the gun rack in your truck. ;-)

Not nearly powerful enough to take down those prairie dogs, squirrels,
and ground hogs that plague Tim's farm. Real men use one of these:

I think the vid mentions the cost of rounds... $40 each.

Haven't bought any new firearms recently. My Walther pistol and CZ
Scorp, both 9mm, are pretty "quiet" with the suppressor affixed. The
Walther has a really nice trigger, and I'd rank the pistol the
second-best I've ever fired or owned, after the CZ Shadow SP-01. That's
the only one I've regretted selling.

$2.60.

Was your SP-01 capable of firing in double action mode on the first
round, i.e., round in the chamber, hammer down?

I bought my CZ new from the CZ Custom Shop and before it was shipped to
my local gun store, I had the Custom Shop convert it to SAO, among other
"customizations," so it had no "double action mode." You had to rack the
slide to put a round in the pipe and that, of course, would cock the
hammer. At that point, if you wished, you could flick on the manual
safety, and "carry" cocked and locked. I never did that. I carried in
Condition 3 when I carried. Usually, though, the pistol was kept in
Condition 4...no mag in the pistol, no round in the chamber, hammer
down, aka "idiot proof safe."

I happened to "fondle" a new CZ 75 the other day at my LGS. This was the
standard model, not an SP-01 Shadow like I had, and with a decocker
instead of a safety. DA/SA. Still a great pistol, even in fully stock form.

These days, when I'm not using my 9mm pistol at the range, it rests in
my side of the bed nightstand with a suppressor attached. It's a Walther
PPQ Q4 TAC M2 (ahh, nomenclature!), this one:

I put a red dot on the pistol. Very nice trigger.

No, ****-for-brains. I know "Stumpy" gave you the closest thing to a
woody you had in years, but he is no more. He gave his life to
accommodate the cabin's septic drain field. I suppose I could have sent
you a scrap of Stumpy so you'd have something to sniff.

Were you getting so lonely you could cry? Is that why you're back being a sweetheart?

I can see an advantage to carrying with a round in the chamber but
with the hammer down - as long as the gun has a double action mode for
the first round. How do you get a round in the chamber without
cocking the hammer? Do you have to lower the hammer manually and hope
your thumb doesn't slip?
