I've shot about 500 rounds of the ZQI through my 17L. No problems at all. Accurate as anything else.

No mean feat to figure that out, your vote doesn't matter enough in the grand scheme for the bigwigs to worry about. Your dues are more valuable than your vote. You=1 vote, your dues=5 or more votes. One of these days, I'm going to write down my stories from my union days. Be a masterpiece of...

Unions are one of the main fundraising arms of the Democrat party. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Billions of "working man's" dollars going to those that want to destroy what the "working man" is supposedly working towards. Outside of fundraising for the DNC, unions exist to benefit...

Seems a lot of union members want to say the don't vote the "union way". Guess what, you are in a minority (if you're being truthful). For every member that doesn't vote the "union way" there are probably 10+ that do. On top of that, you are buying even more "union way" votes with your dues and...

10/22 and 870. Cover everything I would ever need.

And we soon reach the point when that production turns to full-auto or select fire. Sporting guns and handguns will continue to become C&R eligible, but will be priced according to availability. These were not produced in near the numbers as milsurp rifles. You will be paying for them based on...

The days of C&R guns are rapidly coming to an end. About the only ones on the market in any quantity are MNs. After the bolt actions, most of the world's militarys went to full auto weapons. Those are never going to be C&R (in fire-able form). There may be some handguns shake loose in the future...

A lot of anti gun BS has been proposed by Chicago dems in the past few weeks. My take on it is that they are scared of CCW passing. They want bargaining chips on the table and input on the CCW law. On another topic, guns (and thus discussions on guns) have become a very political topic. It's...

I tried it once. It was either a penny or a dime (can't remember which) stuck on the side of a stump. Coins make a very interesting noise flying back at you at a high rate of speed.

Why do people spend several hundred dollars on a gun then complain about spending $8-$10 on cleaning supplies that will last a year or more?

So, you weren't firing from a designated firing position? You randomly chose a place as to avoid the mud? Whether or not he was rude, it sounds to me that you were in the wrong.

The majority who are "adamant" about correcting others on this issue are full of themselves. They try to impress others with their "extensive" gun knowledge, which often amounts to the usage of magazine v. clips.

Thanks for all the input so far. I'm leaning towards the CZ 75B right now. I'm also going to look at a Beretta 92FS before I purchase. I guess I'm over wanting a plastic gun. :evil: Will let you all know what I end up with.

I wish I could. My local shops may have a couple of the listed models in stock at the same time. I'm going to call a pretty well stocked shop when it comes time for the actual purchase. It will be an hour drive (one way) but they should have them all in stock. I know that it will boil down to...
