The CZickness #XIV....It continues

Point Blank is running a special on range time this weekend. $5 for a half hour, $10 for a full hour, free second shooter, and targets for $0.50. I am meeting friends on the northside of indy for some board gaming, but before meeting them, I am heading to the range.

Morning folks!

Question for you all. I recently acquired an SP-01 in .40 that came with three 12+2 Mecgar magazines. It seems like when they are loaded with all 14 rounds that the mag will not drop free. Are they bulging slightly with the 2 extra rounds? I've tested the gun with other plain 12 rounders and it seems to work fine.

Also thanks for the O-ring advice. I finally picked some up today and have been pulling DA all evening. My fingers and arms hurt! Hopefully this helps smooth some things up before deciding if I want to put some Cajun goodies in it.

That pistol cannot be fixed. You need to find someone that will take it off your hands and give it a good retirement home. I might know someone that's still into .40 that would be glad to add that to the museum of .40 pistols. Just PM me and I'll arrange the pickup.

What this whole year of giving you speak of? You must not be married?

He’ll get to see them once a year on his birthday.

You're in luck, I happen to have 2 of them! In all seriousness I put a set of calipers to the magazines and results confirmed what I thought. An empty mag was .798"-.801" wide, while a mag with 12 rounds came out to be .806"-.809". When I put the extra two rounds into the mags, they swell up to .812"-.814". That extra 3-5 thousandths is enough to have problems dropping the magazines. Sometimes they will fall out, but often they are slightly hung up. Looks like my options are to only load 12 rounds or try to sand/polish the magazines to fit a little less snug.

Nice guns, good use of props and if you were following last nights random topics, your feet must not be a size 15...

Sure do like those wood grips!

The quality of the picture is lacking, but the picture isn't lacking quality. Bacon and guns are two things that make me smile

Family Pic Update

So if this is a family picture does this mean that bacon is the head of the family and the CZ's are it's children? Asking for a friend.

This is a test....anyone know what I am talking about without using Google?

Close, but no cigar huh !

Yep. Tejay Van Garderen was in third down six seconds going into Stage 9. Now he is 30th. I think there are only 5 or 6 US riders in the race?

Lance et al killed the sport....I watch a little but hard to really get into it anymore.

I am a former runner (well more of a stumbling slow fat guy joggnig but runner sounds more impressive) and did a little riding. The physical abuse those guys put themselves through makes running a marathon look like a rest day.

Hope to get the running shoes back on in August.

Slow Sunday for me ..... but in pistola related news, I'll be receiving a new Galco leather magazine holder for my Sig 220 mags in today's mail. Winning !!!

Both wheelers are with me now. Very nice pieces. I am anxious to get the 581 down to Boss Hoss for a tune up.

Those 581's are often very very good shooters.
