Nobody has any new guns?

[3Hummers]

There is a reason why they have sold 40 million of them. They say that 10% of the firearms in America are AR-15s. By comparison there are some 24 million AK variants in the US.

I settled on a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x illuminated optic. It was very reasonably priced and in stock. I get to bring the rifle home on Wednesday.

I did pick up a Sig Sauer P229 Legion today in 9MM.

 

[LagunaH1]

I'm heading out to camp and shoot my new rifle this weekend. Should be a good time.

 

[3Hummers]

Pick up your brass. One day reloading may become affordable again.

Got to shoot the new rifle today. I now see why AR style rifles are so popular. It was very easy and comfortable to shoot. -Gotta figure out something for optics though

I would suggest looking at a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8. Well made and price is reasonable. Effective as a red dot up close or out to 600 yards.

 

[MilamJR]

The 66 and 77 are very similar, 66 has a tube magazine and 77 has a removable 10 round mag.

My Dad had a 77 that nowbl belongs to my son.

 

[3Hummers]

I love the 77. Odd little gun but cool.

I got the 1-6 strike eagle. Good scope. I do, however need to get a thing from scopeaid.com for both this scope and the one I have on my Browning 6.5 CM bolt action rifle.

 

[MilamJR]

You can definitely spend a lot more money to get a little better performance but I think that same money is better spent somewhere else. Now that the 1-8 is only $100 more that is why I got it instead of the 1-6 I was originally looking at.

This trip was also, coincidentally, the first time I shot my 1911 and CZ 75 compact back to back. I was pretty surprised by how much smoother the 1911 is in terms of recoil. I know, comparing apples to oranges.

Looked at the scopeaid.com website. Looks like a good product for those who wear glasses.

Hard to beat a quality 1911.

 

[3Hummers]

1911 is my favorite model to shoot and reload for. I have 3 Colt 70 Series Gold Cup National match 45cal pistols, nothing compares for me.

I have used them in the past and their product works well.

 

[LagunaH1]

I fear scopeaid.com may have gone out of business. It's not possible to place orders and they have been unresponsive to emails and voicemails. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[3Hummers]

Did you ever get an answer on Scopeaid?

 

[LagunaH1]

No, they are not responding to anything

Oh yes, the only handgun known to have shot down a Japanese Zero during WWII.

There's a good store just 10 minutes down the road from my new place here in Idaho. I went there yesterday and looked at a Sig Sauer P365 AXG Legion. Anyone here have any experience with that gun?

 

[3Hummers]

I have one Mikkel but haven't shot it yet. The Legions are a step up from a great gun. My Legion 229 is a fantastic gun. A definite upgrade from my regular 229.

 

[LagunaH1]

Where do you guys get magazines from? Now that I can have standard capacity mags in my pistol, I'm looking for a 15 round mag for my CZ 75B Compact. Its turning out to be a bit of a struggle to find anything in stock. I've looked at Gunmagwarehouse, themagshack, ammunitiondepot, cheaperthandirt and mec-gar and have had no luck so far

 

[3Hummers]

I get tons of e-mails from outfits that sell mags and everything else. Instead of deleting the next batch I will pass them on to you. Just curious, have you tried Dillon?

 

[LagunaH1]

I have not tried Dillon.

I think my challenge is the fact that my CZ is kinda old -ish and not so common, so there's very little after market support for it.

Apparently Christmas is in August
