It's been a while, but one fellow in a neighboring lane missed his target and hit the target carrier in my lane. You could hear a pin drop as the RO announced an "all stop firing", and escorted the offender out of the indoor range. I was moved to another lane and repairs were scheduled for the...

I have learned to live on less than my takehome from the paycheck. I put $X into the working balance of the checking account, and the balance into the "recreation fund". When I write a check, I always subtract more than the check amount from the working balance, and drop the difference into...

Two Saturdays before Christmas, one of the denizens from my favorite watering hole and I drove downto the Cabela's store. While he was looking for a Remington 700 ADL in .30-06, I found a great deal on a CZ75B in polished stainless for $439 ($639 tag price, less $100 for applying for the...

Do we have a nomination for Honorable Mention in this year's awards?

Sounds like you have gone the same configuration I have on my favorite HP (FM frame, FN slide, small enhancements to reliability, accuracy). My Frankenpistol has the laceur on the frame with a blued frame and some wear marks (character marks??) to add tothe patina.

A while back, I stopped by a local gun shop and found a used FM Hi-Power for $212 out the door. The Argentine clone of the Belgian product became the base for one very accurate project pistol.

Absolutely on a new pistol/revolver before the first range trip. I also do the same for any used firearm before it goes to the range with me. Better to find out about something before the fun is ruined by a broken part.

I've been thinking about having one of my early Transitional CZ75s done in NP3, but other things have gotten in the way. Now I know how much of my recreation fund can be set aside for the project. Thanks for providing answers on a project I've had bouncing around in the dark recesses of my...

I know that at one time every CZ75 going down the production line went through an automated "break-in" by being cycled 750 times(correct me if I'm wrong on the count) in an oil bath prior to being test-fired and packaged for shipment. I've gotten some really smooth triggers on some of the older...

I purchased a box of .22lr ammunition (I thought it was ammunition) at a gun show. Turned out to be dummy rounds. I probably have a lifetime supply. If anybody would like some, drop me a PM and I'll pass 'em aound until the supply runs out.

For your extra magazines, check out ammoclip.com. They have quite a selection of Colt 22lr magazines, pre and post WW!!.

A while back I acquired three 1911 magazines in 9mm. Guess what is at the top of my "next to purchase" list?

You consider John Moses Browning a Higher Power.

Just proves that the CZ line is not only habit-forming, but given the opportunity, they will breed in your range bag. Thinking of that, I better czech my range bag, there might be a new arrival that I haven't discovered yet.

Lately, I've been using a fellow at a pawn shop that charges $20 (plus state sales tax) for a transfer. Previously, I've used a shop closer to me that now charges $35 (plus state sales tax). I figure I'm getting the same service, why pay more if I don't have to?

have you checked out Fusion? The fellow that previously owned Dan Wesson is now making his own 1911 parts, pistols and kits. The address is www.fusionfirearms.com.

You might consider the CZ 40B as an option. You have the .40 S&W chambering, two 10-round magazines (provided somebody hasn't filched one), the 1911 profile with the CZ75B trigger mechanism, no accessory rail, but can get night-sights on it. If you absolutely must have the accessory rail...

I also own and shoot both the BHP and the CZ75B. I find the BHP has a slightly lower bore axis, and seems almost an "elegant" point to it. Mine has the magazine disconnect still installed, and with enough shooting the trigger will smooth out. Before I get too off-target, mine is a Belgian...

Czech out the CZ 75 Kadet in .22lr. Spooky accuracy, scarey reliability, fun as all get-out.

Yet another breakdown in the victim selection process...don't you love it when that happens??
