Maybe the cleaning kit is the import? It's a NATO Stock Number for a cleaning kit which was produced en masse in Germany, which has showed up with everything from G3s to P38s and so on. Usually they see a little use then get repackaged with other weapons. Here's a document titled "Information...

I think I read or heard somewhere that SA and other manufacturers have started just recently to include more info about the specific factory where the handgun (only handguns) was produced, in compliance with legislation they were anticipating in the near future. I don't know of any recent laws...

I donno what it is, maybe it's just all the buzz around new toys, or the high-pressure subliminal sales tactics, lol, but it certainly happens to the best of us. Heck, I hate Kimber. I've never had an enjoyable shooting experience with one of their pistols in my hand, but they make this little...

I'm also a huge 6.5 fan, but I've never used it for hunting, while I have hunted with more 308 rifles than I can name, and I've never been disappointed. Right off the bat I'd have to recommend 308 for that reason, but more importantly for availability and economics. The best factory 308 vs. the...

I donno about that. It's illegal to use the .22 Hornet for deer in my state, and for good reason, IMHO. As far as using it inside 100 yards, I imagine the only folks with the skill to do that consistently are the ones who have had practice doing it by limiting themselves to "ethical ranges", and...

Cool idea, but if I could offer any advice, unless you want to surprise him, I'd just talk to him about it. Never know where his preferences might run. Glad to see you're encouraging the art by passing it on to another generation! Good luck!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.5%C3%9755mm_Swiss There might be some helpfull information if you scroll down to the chart titled "Variants Overview" But I honestly have no clue. A lot more data here.

Funny you should mention this 'cause in my experience I'm usually faster with a peep sight than most other configurations. I follow the method detailed in this video, it might help you, too. And that's a lovely rifle. I've always had a certain affinity for tube magazines, makes me think of the...

Yeah, I have a 1911, I didn't know that was possible! Awesome, thanks for the info, that's another thing I'll be checking out.

lol, priceless

Personally, the CX4 is a little too "spaceage" for my tastes. Maybe I'm old fashioned? It just feels a bit odd for me to shove a sleek, pretty handgun into something that looks like it belongs on Batman's utility belt, lol. It probably functions great, and Berretta has the kind of rep you can...

Din' know that. We'll be sure to keep it practical then. ;)

Wow! lol. I've considered something like this before but quickly discarded the idea after I took my meds! lol, jk. That's pretty sweet. Reminds me of the scene in Godfather, lol. Also makes me wonder about all the musicians I used to see on campus...I -knew- there was just no way there were that...

Tacticool vs. Practicool lol, yeah. I think it's the "tacticool" factor that attracts a certain audience. For myself, cool is fine, but I prefer "practicool", if you will. As far as the complaints you may have heard about pistol calibre vs. rifle calibre, yeah, that's to be expected, isn't it...

Sorry for any percieved attitude, none intended. I just like to get to the point. Appreciate the help, though.
