    Browning Hi-Power Mk III: Is This Normal Trigger Wear?

    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...

    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.

    Back with CZ

    I took the plunge and ordered a NIB CZ75B from the fine folks at Damascus Gun Shop. They shipped super fast to my FFL, and I got to pick it up today. Some observations on newest production CZs: They no longer come in a small blue plastic box with an outer cardboard box. Now they ship in a...

    Please Help With Value of Hi-Power Mk II

    I've searched on the auction sites but I thought to also ask the resident experts on THR. I'm trying to determine the value of a Browning Hi-Power Mk II with original finish, four mags, three factory 13 rounders, and one aftermarket 20 rounder, original box and papers. I would rate the pistol at...

    Finding a NIB Hi-Power: Easier Said Than Done

    I've been on a quest for a NIB Browning Hi-Power at a reasonable price, but so far nada! I found one at a local sporting chain but they wanted $899.99 plus tax. For kicks I asked to see it. The surly sales guy pulled out the mag, sling shot the slide on an empty chamber, tried and tried to...

    Is a Browning HiPower Worth $300 More Than a CZ?

    Comparing prices on GunBroker and places like Buds, NIB Browning MkIII HiPowers average $300 more than NIB CZ75Bs. I understand manufacturing costs, labor costs and taxes add to the Browning's price, but from a consumer's point of view, is it worth spending the extra money for a Browning?

    What's The Reason for the CZ Shortage?

    Most of the distributors are out of the steel full size CZs, especially the 9mm DA/SA CZ75B. My local FFL has been looking for a CZ75B for weeks with no luck. Is CZ filling a large military contract or did they decide to focus on other platforms?

    Value of CZ75 Pre-B?

    What would be the approximate value of an all matching numbers, excellent condition, early 1980s, non-import marked CZ75 pre-B with two original factory mags and original waffle grips but no factory box. If it matters mags are numbered but the numbers don't match the CZ.

    Need Help with Decision: Unissued Mak or Slightly Used Mak?

    I can't make up my mind between purchasing an unissed MilSurp Bulgarian Makarov or a slightly used MilSurp Bulgarian. The unissued comes with one mag and black rubber import grips. The slightly used one was purchased unissued and fired around 50 rounds, it comes with two mags, one serial...

    Chamber Open Damages Makarovs?

    Does keeping a Bulgarian Makarov's chamber open damage anything? My buddy stores his Makarov with a plastic chamber plug in place, it holds the chamber slightly open and the hammer in the cocked position. It looks like this might stress the mainspring, but I'm no expert.

    Who Makes an Affordable 9mm 1911?

    I'm wanting to get into a 1911, but honestly I can't afford the price of 45 ACP right now. Does anyone besides RIA makes an affordable plain Jane 1911?

    Question about CZ's Recurve Trigger

    Anyone own a CZ75B with a recurve trigger? CZ started using recurve triggers on models like the CZ P06 and CZ SP-01, but since last year CZ75Bs also started shipping with the recurve triggers. I've read conflicting accounts of increased trigger slap and pinching with the recurve triggers...

    CZ75B Questions

    Questions for anyone who's bought a recent production, late 2009 or 2010, 9mm DA/SA CZ75B: Are they shipping with standard flat panel grips or with the military-style thumb rest grips? Does CZ still proof the barrels, slides and frames? Are the barrel, slide and frame all serial...

    Conversion Kit or Dedicated 22?

    The raising cost of ammo has me looking hard at a 22. I can't make up my mind whether to get an Advantage Arms conversion kit or a dedicated 22 like a Ruger. Any reason why one's better than the other?
