The CZickness III

$20/box of 50. Thats a good deal

Save about $40 off what you can buy 500 rounds at TargetSportsUSA, so yes, good deal

This might be a deal......https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...97170-remington-golden-saber-9mm-124gr-p.html

Depends on how old it is and how it was stored. Yes ammo can last years and years if stored correctly.

I use a bore laser when I dry fire. It is the no lie tell all.
I need to do some practice.

I bought a LaserLyte training cartidge for my 9mm, .40 and .45. Those really make dry fire interesting since it shows a brief spot of exactly where I hit. They make dry fire practice fun too. I spend half of my work days working from home while on conferenece calls. Dry fire practice while being paid to be on a call is pretty sweet.

Possibly but nickels and quarters.
I want to hit them.

Vision is part of this. I need to get my eyes checked.

I'm trying to improve my point shooting because I'm unable to improve my eyes. They just keep getting older every day. I like the theory behind point shooting and think it makes a lot of sense.

I disagree. In a defensive situation you are not going to be thinking as much as reacting. You are going to fall back on training, muscle memory etc... You shoot small groups on paper you have a better chance of shooting small groups in real life. Three rounds that graze an aggressor are not going to do as much as one well aimed shot to an organ. Another reason I like to train with photo realistic targets.

Sorry it's that whole Marine Corps training thing, one shot one kill philosophy as opposed to spry and pray. I see people do mag dumps at 7 yards on paper on the range all the time and none of the holes on paper would have stopped a person. And that is on paper that is not moving.

First the basic marksmanship training as a foundation where every shot counts.
I am no expert and I am not a self proclaimed "trainer" just my thoughts on how larger capacity magazines as opposed to 7 / 8 round mags have had a negative impact on defensive handgun shooting. Too many people think 3 or 4 rapid fire rounds from a 9mm are going to be better than one well aimed shot from a .45acp. I don't think that is going to work in real life situations.

Beyond 10 yards, I completely agree. Inside of 10 yards, and things may be happening faster than my eyes can aquire the sights. Even with a set of HDs, there may be times that I just cannot aquire them as fast as I need to. Practicing a consistent grip, trigger pull and point shooting all makes me a better shot whether or not I can see the sights.

That's a smoking deal on G/S

Started fitting parts to the ugly duckling today.
Damn it that thing is a rough one.
I did the slide/frame fit up on Friday and finished it up yesterday.
Barrel is an Ed Brown alleged drop in. It will drop in my other 1911's but not the U.D. Took a butt load of time to get it right. Had to almost make a link for it.
Grip safety was a bear as well and not a Las Baer either....
AllenM will cut the site slots for the night sites.

Very close to color time. Not sure what I want. Blank canvas.

It's always tough commiting to a color. My Kimber is currently blasted bare aluminum and sooner or later I'll have to choose a color combo for it. What about doing it in a scheme that's complimentary to the Copperhead?

Grey Wolf in Avon has a gorgeous high-polish 75B if anyone's interested. It's truly stunning.

They would no longer have it if I had ~$700 burning a hole in my pocket.

All the controls/safety's are stainless so I have to take that into consideration.

That is a bit salty for that gun is it not.....

 

[tbhausen]

Seeing it in person, I didn't think so. The entire gun and all the controls look like a mirror. It's amazing.

OK......just sounded a bit salty.

Those high polish bring more money than a standard 75b. I think it has to do with the amount of cleanup needed after staring at one for awhile... Those LGS employees don't work for free...

 

[tbhausen]

Do they come from CZ that way or did someone do that later? It's a work of art.

They finally found the second mag for that gun and it also comes with a leather custom holster (with mag pouch attached).
Its a nice gun but its used and that is a little high for a used gun. You can find them around that price new.

Used then it is a bit saltyt.

Hey, LGS's gotta pay the bills.

 

[tbhausen]

Used but never fired, they said.

No one has convinced me that the "gamer" way of shooting has any advantages in self defense. Simply stating that I "must change" because everyone else is doing it doesn't make the case. What I have learned is that the way I shoot seems to be a cause of angst for some people. So, I will just shoot with my few friends who make range trips enjoyable and don't talk down to people. Have fun and be safe.

I second that! Do you ever sleep Birds?

Morning folks

No one has convinced me that the "gamer" way of shooting has any advantages in self defense. Simply stating that I "must change" because everyone else is doing it doesn't make the case.

That's what it's all about. We buy the guns that fit us the best, we tune them and then we learn to use them in a manner that fits our personal style.

 

[Birds Away]

My body seems to have rejected DST.

 

[RustyHornet]

Mine completely accepted it. I woke up right on schedule without an alarm. Strange. Feeling much better, after getting my ass kicked since Wednesday, this flu/cold whatever thing seems to be on its way out!
