    9mm vs 380

    I'm 65, so behind you but not a lot. I got rid of anything greater than a 9mm except for a revolver. I carry either a Sig P238 in .380 or a Sig P365 in 9mm. The P238 is heavy enough that recoil is ok. Might have to look at the Kimbers though.

    One 9mm

    I also have several 9mm's. If I had to cut it down to one, it would be the VP9.

    Your Most Valuable Gun

    I think I understand the concept of valuable in this thread. My most $ cost is a low end Shadow II I paid $1,100 for. My most sentimental gun would be my dad's Browning 12 gauge shotgun custom made for him by a gun smith in 1954. And the pistols I depend to save my life as an EDC is either a...

    Hoppes no.9 can you use it on stainless?

    Yeah, I'll walk in from the garage and my wife will wrinkle her nose and say "you've been cleaning guns again, haven't you?"

    What ammo are you finding and for how much?

    This may have been posted, as I didn't read every single post. I've been to gun shows and 9mm target ammo runs $40-$50 for 50 rounds. I found 9mm JHP ammo for $80.00 for 50 rounds, for the same ammo I paid $30 for a year ago. I was talking to an employee at Academy last week, and he said to...

    Frightened & Defenseless

    I like the locks, dog, and gun (22lr or more), but agree with a previous post that the most defenseless of women will turn into lions to protect their children.

    Armslist Disfunction

    I wasn't too happy about the armslist charges, but needed to sell a couple of firearms to finance yet another purchase. I also received the message about my request for an account upgrade needed to be processed, but it took about 3 minutes.

    CZ Shadow 2

    So, I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Shadow 2 online. It arrived at my FFL today, and like a dog in heat (and when you're 64, heat doesn't happen often), I raced to the FFL only to have my application delayed. It's happened to me before so I'll be good by Saturday.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Ruger SR22. I love the gun looks, and have owned two previously. It's kind of a love/hate relationship, so currently it's a love.

    What's yall's "the dogs are barking gun" ?

    My dog barks at everything, so no firearm. Now, if the doorbell rings, my CZ SP01 is in my right hand.

    How do you price and gut check a new gun purchase?

    I love many of these responses, and will add that I've my worst deals by trading on armslist, and my best deals at gun shows and pawn shops.

    What firearm fired today?

    I shot my CZ SP-01 CZ P-07 Sig P320 Sig P365 The CZ's were very nice to me. The Sig's were not quite as accurate, but still good.

    CZ P07 New Springs

    It took me a bit to get the kit installed by a gunsmith. The reviews show the SA trigger pull after installation is about 2.5#. I would not argue with that--very light. Very smooth pull, but I'd probably prefer a pound more on the SA.
