The CZickness VI

[wtburnette]

I decided a long time ago that reloading isn't for me. I am not meticulous enough anymore. I would probably blow myself up somehow.

Ironically, I feel pretty much the same way. Luckily I have two close friends who reload and I occasionally go in with them to make a case or two of ammo on the cheap.

I've been looking for .38 spl since I shot up several boxes last weekend. Found a good price on CTD. Only $14.50 a box + $16.39 shipping.

Morning

Lets see.....
-Reloading. Nope. Not enough time and no space to set up the way I would want to.
-New purchases. Will have to be something very unique. As I have 2 really sweet "Steel" guns and a few Really sweet 1911's and an outstanding 97. Like BA, I just do not see much that blows my skirt up right now. Having found the Phantom a new home there is nothing else in the inventory I wish to move.
-Ammo. Yup. Always a need.
-Mags. I have plenty. Having located the lost mag for the 97 (thanks Wiz...) I am pretty good across the board here.
-Practice. Yup. When I get through the current home improvement projects I want to get out early mornings to MCF&G like 88 does and concentrate on 1 particular piece at a time. The spouse wants to join me in this. The 9mm custom I picked up for her is a sweetheart to run. 1911 Commander bobbed. I will be putting a rail on it for her Laser. She likes to point and shoot. Eventually muscle memory will be set up and she will not have to rely on the Laser.

I am comfortable with what I have.

I find that my time is worth more to me than saving a few cents a round.
Absolutely no knock on those who do reload. If I started doing this my addictive personality would consume me.

I'm comfortable too, although I'm still trying to figure out the perfect truck gun from what I already have. I was an idiot and sold my model 10 snubby that had that role previously. My RAMI would be good for that, but it's too pretty, especially once I put on the stag grips. I've ordered brass grip screws that should arrive any day.

What about that Blued Snubby you had at the meet&shoot...???

That's going to be my carry gun.

 

[Snapdragon]

It's kind of stupid, but I don't want to keep my RAMI in the Jeep. I'd rather buy something cheaper and uglier.

I have a brand new PCR that I've had for maybe a couple of months. Fully upgraded with all the bells and whistles. It rarely goes now because there are just too many that come before it. I have a 75B that I've had for quite a while. It has one of the nicest triggers of the bunch. It sits in the safe most of the time as I always seem to have something that "must" be shot. It's hard to justify a new gun when I have such nice ones sitting at home being neglected.

Perfectly understandable. I have made that decision a few times.

Rusty, that's too pretty to be left in a truck.

That is a good point. I still have not touched the pieces I took last Sunday. No time yet to sit and apply the cleaning and love they deserve.

Will I have another project gun..........possibly.
When I get the SA-LW back and finish tuning it up I am just not sure.
Am I tempted.....you bet I am.

 

[churchmouse]

I did not get to run that but I did see some smiles from folks who did.......

It's easy for me to talk myself into another one. But, I have to be realistic and say, okay, if you get in a pinch what do you want to part with? The answer is nothing. So, I need to save my nickels for a rainy day.

 

[Birds Away]

For example:
9mm CZ75 CM Compact Missing Parts Numbers Match : Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com

Would be pretty easy to talk myself into this. The parts missing, The Wizard looked them up yesterday, come to a grand total of $19.

I find I have a butt load of .308 ammo that I will never use unless I end up with another semi-auto.
I have that nice bolt gun but it deserves good stuff.

I took the Phantom out last night for a little range shooting. I was having trouble with trigger reset last Sunday. Gave the gun a good cleaning and Lube ran 72 rounds through it and no trigger issues. Was using an IDPA Target all rounds in the a Zone IE zero points down.
