THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[T-DOGG]

Morning everyone

Morning all...

Found a Beretta 1934 at my LGS. I may go back Tuesday when they open and pick it up. Someone talk me out of it.

"...talk you out of it..."

Mkay, Kirby - "it's a Beretta"

 

[hANNAbONE]

I shot the Deacon's Xdm, and it seemed solid to me.

It is - and - you did.!

 

[hANNAbONE]

Good Morning : My People.!!

Hope your day is stellar.

In the next few days we will be 105 in the breadbasket...(*with 100% humidity)

I will wilt.

I want a new gun, but I don't "need" a new gun. Today I've been thinking about 10mm again.

Another option is find a Tanfo Witness in 10. You know how to mill, and you know you can make it one sweet shooter.

I have the same Witness Elite Match in .40 S&W. I knew I’d like it but ended up liking it way more than I expected. It’s heavy and comfortable and makes .40 recoil feel mild. 10mm in it would be a lot of fun! If I could find a 10mm barrel for mine I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Morning All

The sickness (not CZickness) is going around our house. 2 kids down and wife not feeling great. It’s what’s going around.

That is nice.

I did a little perusing this morning and some additional thinking. I think for a metal framed option, I still like the Magnum Research (Bul Armory) 1911 that I fondled recently. I'm not saying it is or isn't the same quality as a Dan Wesson, but it sure feels like one in my hand, and the fit and finish sure are nice. I found a retailer online with one in stock for around $800 with no tax and free shipping.

I'd probably add an extended mag release, magwell (might pony up for a Chen) and different grips (magwell cut).

Sorry to hear that. A sick house is never a good time.

I forgot that. Last time I ordered I added a few boxes of 38 special to the case of 9mm. Received it 2 days from the time I ordered. For me, there would have to be a heck of a discount to get me to drive the 35 minutes plus each way mostly in 465.

Next order will most likely be this:

Armscor 9mm Luger 124gr FMJ 1092 FPS Value Pack 100/box [16 boxes] 1600 Rounds FREE S/H

Armscor 9mm Luger 124gr FMJ 1092 FPS Value Pack 100/box [16 Boxes] 1600 Rounds FREE SHIPPING

www.aeammo.com

I was going to order some of the Armscor 124 but then remembered that I had forgotten the reason why I remembered something about this ammo.

Google to the rescue.....a long time ago this ammo got a bad rap for hard primers and a long oal causing some feeding problems in autoloaders. Anyone have any recent experience? I tend to discount what I read on the internet....unless it is here.

If you like that one, you might like this one a little more. I know the Deacon has one and I was fortunate enough to get to shoot it at the last FGE, great piece for the price. You would need to call BulArmoryUSA for exact price and availability. They do have other models too that you might find interesting.

I've shot a good bit of blazer aluminum and brass without issues in the past. Lately I have tended to keep back my blazer brass while I clear through the WWB and federal champion I've bought, as I consider the blazer brass better than those 2 (maybe that's not the case).

I was refering to the Armscor 124 9mm.

I have had good luck with Blazer....can't say that I have ever tested it head to head but it seem reliable and shoots within my (increasing) margin of error.

Not available in 10mm. But yes, I'd rather have an all SS like that one.

No 10mm on that one at least as noted on that page.

Ah, sorry. Agreed, haven't shot any Armscor and was giving it the side eye at aeammo last time I was down there.

You might call them to confirm that. Or @AllenM is only a phone call away.

Edit: sorry I forgot you were looking for a 10mm, my brain is still a little soggy..

 

[mcapo]

Springfield Ronin or Kimber Stainless II make the list?

I wouldn’t mind you getting the Kimber just so we could see what production is really like. :-)

Just remember, life is too short to buy an ugly gun. As for Armscor, buy a case and we will test it in multiple gun at the FGE….
