Does anyone know anything about gunsmithing on the CZ75 trigger mechanisms? I have a few questions: Is it possible to take a decocker CZ75 (like a PCR or P-01, say) and replace the decocker with a thumb safety? I'd really like to have one of the alloy framed compacts, but I don't want to give...

...have a good single action trigger pull. Shooting a handgun well is hard enough already. There's no sense in making it even harder with a crummy trigger pull.

Shooting a handgun accurately at 50+ yards is entirely possible, even under stress. Obviously it helps to practice at that distance and to use a handgun that's suited to the task. Also, I would argue that there are circumstances where shooting at an attacker even if you're likely to miss is...

The CZ Rami can be carried cocked and locked? Hmm... Can any of the other CZs be carried cocked and locked, or is it just the Rami?

I appreciate the info. You're correct, when I meant to say that short barreled 1911s are reputed to be unreliable. I've no doubt that there are lots of other tiny guns that work just fine. I handled a Glock 23 in the gun store the other day. Its grip was just about perfect - long enough to...

I've owned both M1A and AR10. Both are good rifles, but they're different. The AR10 is the better long range precision rifle. The M1A is the better all-around battle rifle, with the short barreled versions being especially nice. The AR10 is the better long range rifle. It's more accurate...

If you approach someone in an aggressive manner, shouting threats at him, shoving people aside to get close to him, ignoring his instructions to stay back, then you aren't merely "confronting" him. You've given him reason to fear for his safety. You've given him reason to defend himself...

I must be the only one who thinks your friend did the right thing. The attacker was obviously looking for trouble. He pursued your friend while shouting threats, shoved the girlfriend out of the way, and ignored repeated commands to stop. It's clear that an attack was imminent. If the...

Thanks for all the help so far. That SA Sig 220 looks promising. Thanks for pointing that out. My girlfriend recently sold a Kahr K40. I thought long and hard about carrying that instead of buying a new gun, but in the end I just couldn't make myself like it. It was too small for me to hold...

I currently have a full sized Dan Wesson 1911 that I love. Great gun to shoot, and a pretty good gun to carry. I haven't felt the need to buy any new handguns, 'cause this gun was everything I could ever want or need. Well, I now have a new job that requires different clothing, and much...

Can you document a source for this?

If you wanna go defenseless while you're at a ski resort, then that's fine with me. Feel free to ignore this thread. But the rest of us aren't so naive. Leave us to discuss the matter in peace. And for the record, I've been the victim of crime while at a ski resort. It DOES happen.

The advantage of building your own sporterized mauser isn't the cost savings (although you could do a nice job of it for under $400 if cost is an issue). The advantage is that you can have it built up exactly the way you want it, instead of being limited to one of the handful of configurations...

What's so stupid about being prepared wherever you are? Are you all really so naive as to think that ski resorts are magical crime free zones? The real problem with carrying while skiing is that you could seriously injure yourself if you fall and land on your carry piece . Land on your gun...

Why only for cops? She gets just as much commission when regular folks buy from her.
