I have the "cousin" in a CZ82-83 and it is frankly amazing. It uses polygonal rifling, carries 9 rounds, and is both accurate and easy shooting. It is clazzically CZ, in that it has a very smooth trigger and shows expert crafting throughout. At 25 yards, rested, I can shoot a 2 1/2" group when...

Politics aside, one needs remember something. In the 1920's virtually all aircraft had two wings, even though single wing aircraft had been produced. In the 1940's most aircraft had single wings. Why? They were faster. Fast forward... Today, virtually every fast military aircraft looks like...

As long as we keep using the wheel, there is no reason to abandon Browning's automatic pistol by Colt. Both are old and both still work reliably...they are just getting a bit expensive, that's all.

Oka y. The 1911 platform is 111 years old (1911-2022). It still works. It is still dependable. It may not be as cheap as some of the plastic pistols out there, and it uses a somewhat dated cartridge, the Colt .45cal ACP. So... I have a 1911 in 9mm. I have one in .38 Super. They all three...

I would suggest any light color, simply because it will keep the car cooler without needing air conditioning to keep things comfortable. Yellow, or Tan, or Silver come to mind. Here's a hint: When you are looking at cars, try touching them on the roof. That will tell you whether the paint...

The Glock was designed for a purpose - raw trainees in an Army. The 1911 was designed to save lives by providing big bullets moving (for the time) fast. Both have a purpose, neither are obsolete.

Retire the 1911? Lose the brick? Shelf the single most developed ballistic, carryable, weapons system ever designed? Uhhh...NO. I have one. It's not new, but it's the single most reliable non-blowback firearm I own. It's not a standard .45ACP version, it's an older Canadian-made higher...

You might try using a thin washer on the bayonet-lock if you can get the thing apart. Washer will snug things up a bit. As for the stock, I recommend first light sanding and then a linseed oil rubdown. I've used a system of a light spray of LPS or similar on a rag, then using the rag to wipe...

Myself, I carry a CZ'83 in 9mm Makarov. Trigger is superb and the thing is accurate while being quite concealable. Makarov today is getting expensive, but it is more a 9mmLite round than a .380 (a bit more punch). Using Wolf or Fiocci for ammo Wolf FMJ, Fiocci Hp, both around 95 gr. Decent...

I have a much simpler way to deal with AR Malfunctions: it's called an M-14 or an SKS. I carried an AR (M-16) in Vietnam and to this day I will not give that house room. The damned thing nearly got me killed twice by jamming when we were under fire. The military may have kluged it enough to be...

Ahhh, no, they still make "4-inch pistols", they just don't call them four-inchers any more. I tend to prefer the 5-inch ones though, since that was the barrel length the round was developed for.

I do. Good solid fmj for practice and Winchester for carry. Works for me.

Like the .38 S&W Spl before it, the 9mm seems to be the most shootable round out there. It's just what people are most comfortable shooting. My lady thinks my .45acp stuff kicks too hard but she likes all my 9mm stuff, even the +P loads. That which the majority likes best, does best. P.S...

Had my old 1911 checked out and the ejector replaced. Finally got a proper front sight for my CZ 83 (9mmMak) so I don't have to do a six o'clock hold when I practice with it. Got new grips for my S&W Mod 10 (1922) since the old ones were getting a bit weathered and the "Hard Rubber" was coming...

This reminds me of yet another "Failed" technology, although this was the bullet, not the whole cartridge. I refer to Aquila's "Intelli-rounds" that were out in the late eighties. While the cartridge was plain-Jane, the bullet was designed to do one of two things when it hit something. If...

Why the "Appendix carry"? That is perhaps the most dangerous form of un-holstered carry, one "oops" and you're singing soprano for the rest of your life. Secondly, I've tried using a red dot on a carry pistol and in short, its worse than no sights at all. If you can't see your irons, get a...

Me? Schwinn Trike w/homebuilt electric drive. Gets me where I want to go and drives the cops nuts since it doesn't need a license plate. When I go to the range, its a 1967.5 Mustang California Special convertible, classic Ford forest green, and better than showroom condition. Nice car for...

Going by the illustration, it reminds me of hunting elephants with an H-bomb - just a bit of overkill. Going by the picture I can see one problem immediately: How to find the da*n trap & pistol assembly after the mouse is turned into hamburger... even a .36 Navy Colt could achieve low orbit...

Unless its due to a liability issue or something wrong with a product, expect a 48 hour delay at the least. Dangerous (as in potential liability issues) gets treated with first.
