Rusty, I know what you mean. The last gun show I attended there was a FEG DA/SA pistol sitting on this guy's table. He begins to tell me it's a Hi Power through and through. I said no, it only looks like the Hi Power. The insides are designed after one of the Smith & Wesson models, the model 59...

Lots of good answers here. I also agree with those who talk about the extreme prices of ammo and firearms at gun shows.

45tex said: "I look at a gun as functional Art. I enjoy the lines and curves of even the most common gun. And the way the parts work together to do what they do. So yes sometimes I am bothered by the abuse of a gun that is not mine." Thank you 45. That is exactly my point. :D

When it comes to firearms, what grinds your gears? For me, its idiots who don't take care of their firearms. :banghead: I had a Bersa Thunder380 a while back. I really liked it for conceal carry. I only had one real issue with it and that was with the exceptionally long beaver tail. It was...

My signature reads as follows: “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed...

Barn, Baikal is under the umbrella of Kalashnikov Concern, the company listed in the EO 13662.

Ok. Thanks guys. Being of German Ancestory, thanks to my Grandma being born and raised in Essen, I believe it is time to get a nice German made gun. :)

What changes were made between the PPQ and the PPQ M2? Has there been any reliability issues with either model? Thanks

Thanks to everyone who have responded. I will consider many of the suggestions of some of the other pistols. Specifically, I've always loved the looks of the Sig 232. I've never shot one and I don't know anyone who has one. There is a range in the next town over that rents firearms, the only one...

Hello Home, the Bersa Thunder380 is indeed most similar to the Mak. I really should have kept the one I had as it was the Thunder380 Deluxe. :banghead: Like I said to another poster, hind sight is 20/20. Sorry to tell you, but I currently have no plans to sell any of my beloved Maks...

Hello Lucky, I've shot my friend's 42, P938 and LC9. I've owned the P238, the 2075 and the Thunder380. I should have kept all of them. You know, hind sight is 20/20. Thanks for responding.

Hello Ron, I have indeed shot the Shield. It's alright, but just not what I want. Thanks for responding.

I've carried my Makarov PM for several years now. Every time I'd try something different I'd always run right back to my Mak. I've grown fond of the little 9x18 round and I've never felt under gunned with it. However, as time goes by I find the sights on the little Makarov a little more...

Actually, the rail on the P-01 is quite handy when it is used as a night stand gun. No need to worry about trying to search for a flashlight and a pistol in a time of need while trying to awaken from a sleep state. After all, you don't want to start throwing lead around in the dark, right? :eek...

That's a good point Ed. I just assumed that the original finish would be taken off first. I'll look into it some more. Cerakoating over the finish might just be the ticket in making a boring looking gun into something a little less boring.

I am considering trying another Glock 19. My first Glock 19 was customized before I even shot it. Needless to say, it sucked. It suffered 5 light strikes out of only 280 rounds. The only thing I liked about it was the look of the customization. However, I was at my lgs this past weekend and...

Absolutely Y. I love Hi Powers. It doesn't matter to me what brand they are, FEG, Browning, Arcus, others. My two favorite types of pistols are Hi Powers and Makarovs.

I have one word for you; Makarov. I can't believe I am the first to suggest it. :evil: The "Circle 10" Bulgarian or Russian Makarovs should still be available for around $300, give or take. The East German and the Chinese Norinco versions will be higher in price. They are all very well made...

I'm looking at maybe purchasing an Arcus 94, if I can find one. After we replaced the recoil spring on my friend's 94 I got to shoot it and was quite impressed. However, on the left side of the slide of his 94 is a label that says Miltex Inc. La Plata, Maryland USA. Is this just the importer...

I'd take a new CZ 75 Shadow SAO and the rest on a gift certificate. :neener:
