Ya' know I'm thinking if that German gun had never been registered with BATF and gotten a stamp, it would have been illegal to possess, so how could they just give it back to her?

Good luck with yours.

I saw one with german marks for sale on line but it was at a premium, and really, something like that is more of a collector piece. I'm planning on shooting mine.

Thanks - I'm sure I'll be back to report on it as soon as I get it out to the range.

Built this back in the 80's when Para Ordnance was selling only frames. Frame is Para Ordnance P13 and all the upper bits are Springfield Armory 1911-A1.

I'm looking for something that can sit by my bed or be hidden in any little spot that will put someone down if i ever have to use it in that capacity. I have a shotgun but honestly im not going to be able to get it out,loaded and ready if i really ever need it so i want something thats easy to hide and have ready.

Ruger P85. Bought it when it first came out (had an FFL in the day). Haven't bothered to send it in for the recall yet. And no, that's not rust.

Get the CZ 75B. I have one. Tack driver. Will sell all my Glocks. Well, most. The CZ isn't the pistol I would choose for my CCW. Very few feed issues but in personal defense, any fail to feed, fail to eject, or fail to load is fail to shoot and fail to live. So, keeping my G23. But the CZ is my favorite.

Had a neighbor back in 89' (iirc) that went to show his wife how to 'uncock' it and boom.. almost shot her in the leg.. thankfully he only managed to kill his couch.

I own both and as much as I love the look and feel of my hi-power, in reality the cz75-duty is a better gun, mainly for the modern design, increased capacity and DO/SA and half the price. Cant really go wrong with those two choices

I own both a CZ 85B and a Duty, both in 9mm. Love them both

The 85 mostly goes to the range anymore, the Duty goes with me into the sticks

I may be the only one in this thread who doesn't like Browning Hi Power 9mm's. While they feel wonderful in your hand, I could never get used to how it felt when the shot actually occurred.

Perhaps some funky recoil?

I don't like DA/SA

First shot with a heeeeavy loooooog trigger pull?
I can deal with every shot being like that, but why?

Try a single action gun with SFS

Or carry Condition one

Buddy of mine had one back in the 80's.....he bought the ruger, I bought a beretta....I still have the beretta he has long sole the ruger....best part was, aside from the rattle when you shook it, was how he could flick his wrist and rack a round into the chamber.....that was a very loosy goosy gun.

The CZ75B is NOT DAO -- you can treat the CZ like a SA (rack the slide, set it up SA every time) and also set it up cocked and locked, condition 1, and keep it holstered like that. But, BONUS: if you're not comfortable with condition one, you can also carry it Condition 2, "Condition 2 refers to traditional Double Action / Single Action pistol with a round in the chamber, the hammer down" but not with the safety on because you cannot activate the safety unless the hammer is back. So, it really is the best of both worlds. I have a CZ75B and have never fired it double action, but if my gun fails to fire because of a light strike for whatever reason, I can fire one more time on DA before I eject the round by racking the slide.
