The area right under the extractor that looks like it might be flaking.

I'm thinking about bidding on a Ruger Mk II 5 1/5 inch slabside barrel. I'm concerned about the visible wear to the area below the extractor. See picture. Is this normal wear? What should I expect to pay for a Mk II 5 1/5 inch slabside in mint condition with box, papers and two original mags...

Is wear to the rear of the trigger normal on a Browning Hi-Power Mk III? Please see pic, it looks like the finish has been worn down on the left side of the trigger. The right side looks fine, it's only the left that has the wear. I'm thinking of acquiring this particular Hi-Power, but I'm not...

Looking for information and value of a CZ 75 pre-B, no import marks. It has a custom ported barrel and bobbed hammer. I don't know who did the custom work, but it looks professionally done. Thanks for the help.

CDNN, MidwayUSA, Greg Cote, and 1StopMags all have great prices on MecGars, with Cote and 1Stop being the least expensive. All of them are first rate companies, but I haven't seen ten round mags at their sites. You might contact them directly but prepared to spend extra as only factory mags...

Outstanding work! I wish I was half as talented as you folks.

I don't know if Dr Lunde ever posted on THR, but he's the undisputed "fill in the blank" king. I remember him posting pics of his impressive collection of SIGs, CZs, Browninigs, 1911s, Glocks, HKs, Berettas and lots of other brands. He was also one of the humblest and nicest persons you could...

CZs have definitely climbed in price. Not too long ago you get a CZ75B "Military" for $349, and then CZ75Bs for $416. Damascus had CZ75Bs for $478 recently and they flew out the door. They sold their stock in less than three days. Hopefully CZ won't raise the price on the P-07s. They were...

I've seen newer P-07s with P-09 hammers, but not the trigger yet. A P-07 with a P-09 hammer and trigger would be awesome.

Anyone own a CZ P-07? Have you had any issues in terms of reliability? Are extra mags hard to find? I'm seriously considering getting one.

Too bad. They were an affordable alternative to their striker fired offerings.

Congrats! At one point I owned an EG, unissued Bulgie and commercial Ruskie, but stupidly I sold them all. I wish I had kept at least the EG as prices get higher every year.

Agreed, all manufacturers can have recalls even if they euphemistically refer to them as "upgrades." But the issue with these Taurus pistols seems especially worrisome. I know it's just movies, but if anyone wants to get a sense of policing in Brazil check out Elite Squad and Elite Squad:The...

They should've stayed with the PT92 or gone to Glock 17s like their special operations squads.

Got a chance to visit the range today. This CZ's amazing, incredibly accurate, smooth and reliable to a fault (hope I don't jinx myself). I was with a friend who's an experienced marksman and he was amazed by its accuracy. The trigger's also getting a lot smoother. I was a little concerned...
