Mine are not for sale!!! But... I have a CZ P-09, P-07, Cajunized 75B, Cajunized SP-01 Phantom, and a SP-01 (my EDC). If you can wait a week, you can try them before you buy something you may not like (your ammo, of course). Obviously I like CZs. I live 2 miles from the Stones River Gun Range on Hobson Pike. Its only open on Fri, Sat and Sundays. I plan on going next week to try and sight in my new PSA Dagger.

SOLD

This is all true however the way they spoke to and treated her was unacceptable. Being decent to an elderly woman shouldn't be difficult.

Savage 1907 in .32 and .380. "Ten shots quick!" with endorsements from "Wild Bill' Cody and Bat Masterson. First double-column detachable magazine, and striker fired. Extremely reliable if you remember that early .32acp, especially European ammo, was hotter than modern SAAMI spec. Also endorse the original Remington 51 .380. A favorite of Gen George Patton and others. Very ergonomic! Finally, Star PD buffers are still available here: 10 buffers for $44.95 Made & sold by: Jim Dawg 5zero3-59one-51five9 E-mail & PayPal address: bigdawgguns (at) comcast (dot) net

A follow-up on this: The show was unbelievable. Especially todays session. Almost a sensory overload. I picked up a vintage Ruger Blackhawk "3 screw" in .357 that I had been looking for.

This. A 6+1 or 7+1with you is better than a 15 or more +1 left at home.

I do still have it

Plate carriers are sized by the plate bag size. If those plates fit correctly in the carrier then it’s a medium. A carrier will generally adjust up or down to most sizes and changing the cumberbund will allow you to get to the ends you need to get to.

I found a few deals: 14 rounds of original .455 Webley Automatic ammo, a spare Lewis Gun bolt for .30-06 (Rare!), and a nice MP41 mag.

The ten days and ten posts is just to be able to send a private message (not receive one). This was due to a lot of scam messages on new listings. If you are interested in something, ask the lister to PM you. Don’t post your phone number, that just gives it to possible scammers (IMO).

This is a hospital issue. Two hospitals released her and the police were called. They have no reason to believe both hospitals were wrong and she acted just like a drug seeker. She just so happened to have a real medical problem. There may or may not also be some history that we don't know about. I expect the police to take someone in need to a hospital, but in this case she had just been to two. How many hospitals do we want the cops visit in a case like this? It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't for them in a case like this.

Very strange, article says lady was first treated at Blount Cty Hospital & released that same day??? Where was her family? Lisa Edwards' death: Is someone to blame? | wbir.com

I've always been a cash guy. I have one credit card and its used mainly for internet purchases. I pay it off at the end of each month. If I can't pay cash, I don't need it. However, much of the younger generation already deals mostly in electronic money. They're used to it. Many use a debit or credit card daily for something as small as a soft drink at the local store. How many of you pay your monthly bills through automatic payment plans or receive direct deposits? No doubt at some point in the future cash will go away. Also bear in mind that the vast majority of "money" in this world is actually nothing more than numbers in a computer somewhere. If you want to make a large cash withdrawal, many banks need a couple of days to get the cash together as they don't have it on hand. BTW: they will report a large withdrawal to the feds. An all electronic economy opens the doors to all kinds of nefarious possibilities. Never underestimate the criminal mind. And that includes our elected criminals as well. May be a moot point anyway. Biden's EO simply authorizes a study into the possibility of an all electronic economy. Ain't nothing written in stone yet.

Either go big here, or keep it on you. The bolted box is where it's at. A cable can be cut in seconds. I never leave my pistola anywhere. If it can't go ( I understand the " work " thing, I'm retired though. ), I can't go. They don't call it concealed carry for nothin. leroy...

People will just resort to bartering. Of course somethings can't be handled that way.

While I agree that taxes would be a major point, it surely is not the whole point. Those kinds of proposals are insidious, and if you and I can think of ways that they could be used to benefit one political group over another, or to exert control over one group or another, then you can be sure that someone in government will see those ways as an opportunity.

The whole point to it would be taxes. If I sell you something, the government will be able to add sales tax. I would be taxed on any profit.

It really does relate to the 2A in a very fundamental way. If paper money goes away and is replaced with digital (and don't think that can't happen. Almost all your bank transactions and credit card purchases are digital) then Uncle Sugar will be able to monitor every purchase made by everyone. Data drives the modern world, and a fully digital economy would make it easy to see where you and I spend our money. The implications go far beyond the 2A, of course. I'm an old, retired guy. With the current ESG protocols it would be pretty easy to say, "Hey, that guy's retired, he sure doesn't need to fill his gas tank more than once a month", and set it up so that the gas station won't take my money card. I can think of some benefits, too, but those I can think of are not worth the downside.

I don't recall seeing the Star PD mentioned, I had one of these alloy framed 45 acp pistols around '89 -'90. Despite having to use it proprietary (edited for spelling) 6 round magazine and having to replace it's recoil shock buffer at least every 1000 rounds it was a great and very easy to carry little autoloader. IIRC it had adjustable sights but shot great with 230 gr "hardball" and 230 gr Hydra-shoks. AND it didn't have a grip safety! I liked that feature as it was a "trend" back in the day to pin the grip safety to ensure reliable function in less than ideal grip situations. Think entangled fighting and/or non-dominate hand use. It's thumb safety has a decent size and very positive in use. I believe Star stopped making them around 1990. When I first purchased this little gem I bought around 20 of the plastic buffers. Those buffers sold out (dried up) quickly when Star dropped this PD from it's line up. I regret selling it from time to time...but I ran several thousand rounds through it without a hitch. It was really a well made alloy frame pistol for the time. But without replacement buffers it's life/use would have been limited... I'll "defend" it for what it was at the time LOL.

A right delayed is a right denied.

When I have to leave my pistol in the vehicle I keep it in a keyed lock box. One like this, mine did not come wallyworld. The cable goes around the seat frame and the box is under the seat, out of sight. It is rare that I have to go unarmed. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scout-Safe-P-10-Handgun-Safe-Lock-Box-Pistol-Safety/861211557

I guess I'll be the resident A-hole here but where the hell was her family when she was discharged ? There's selfies with her and her daughter? posted while in the hospital bed. No way I'm letting them set mom on the curb and me not be there to get her. That's the first tragedy in this incident. Im not dismissing the actions that followed but for her family to come on after and point fingers is unsettling.

Took a short road trip last night to pick up this fine relic. Been watching a few YT videos to educate myself. Ordered a firing pin and rollers made of modern, improved material for eventual range time. Please share your experiences with this model if you have any. Thanks. Jay

I was thinking something similar but didn't want to expose my inner idiot as I am prone sometimes to do. The cummerbund and shoulder straps are fully adjustable up to like 12" of total movement.

In local news Miss Edwards had come to area months earlier by bus then showed up at at least two hospitals displaying drug seeking behavior Medical Doctors did what they could and released they. asked if she wanted a taxi she refused. Then refused to leave was asked multiple times Police arrived and asked her to leave area again she refused a arrest resulted while in route is became unresponsive and was again taken to another hospital. The DA and and independent counsel have determined no. wrong doing we have Great Law enforcement Firefighters and EMTs in East Tn and should be thankful for them Support your local officer’s the people you go to church with and live next door to. They sure could use it Nice hit piece but of course it didn’t tell but one side of story

My pleasure @Darrell. I was concerned about having 3K of primers that wouldn't work! That's why I tried them out on multiple handguns. I think that if I am meticulous about seating them they'll work fine for range use. My Glock 19 usually sets off everything just fine. Shield as well. I have to think I could have done a better seating job on that one example...or maybe it was just the primer... I know I have a Smith or two that likes Federal primers. So now I know I can devote at least 3K of my Federal primer "stash" to my picky Smiths.

Thanks for the review. I've been thinking of buying some "off-brand" primers, and it's good to read that these worked out for you.

I'll argue in defense of the smaller single stack self defense handguns. More rounds is better, but being able to comfortably carry and shoot accurately is more important. I have a soft spot for pretty much any of the Spanish pistols. I'd love an older Star Model S, or a French contract Spanish Ruby.

And somehow it's almost March. How y'all doing? Maybe March will be the time for a meetup?

Ha, my CZ70 arrived in that condition- took a soaking in mineral spirits to even budge the slide!

Thanks @Links2k, I found the long version too once I knew what I was looking for. What a terrible situation. I don't care what kind of information those officers were operating on, there's no excuse for treating an old lady like that. She was clearly not well and I'd love to hear how the ER justifies kicking her out and calling the cops on her.

I don't have one for sale either, but like @mikadosoft I also like CZs. That's a very generous offer of him to let you test drive his CZs. I hope you take him up on it and report back what you think. The ergonomics are great, reliability is legendary, and about as easy to shoot as anything I've ever handled. If you like hammer-fired guns, I'd bet you fall in love with them. Just be careful they tend to multiply. I started with a CZ 82 then over the years it spawned a CZ 52, SP-01 (owned this one twice, LOL traded then traded to get it back), 2 Phantoms, a Shadow, a 97 BD, a RAMI, a PCR, 2 Scorpions, and a P-01. I am an unapologetic fan-boy.

Hey guys. I’ve got a really nice, clean Kel-tec Sub2000. Takes Glock style mags, 2 15rd included. Less than 100 rounds through it. No box, but this one has seen very little use and is in pristine condition. Open to trades or cash sale. Must be legal to own a firearm. Valued at $425.00. Text is fastest for me, but contact me however you choose. 615-504-1491

That's one of the coolest guns I ever had. It wasn't very comfy, but I could shoot it well. It was a lot of fun too; loud and hot are what I recall most. So much so, that I started reloading milder rounds for it. I traded the gun, the aftermarket parts, extra mags, and reloading dies/supplies for an Enfield .303 that was so clean I never shot it.

I went with a vehicle-specific lock box that mounts with the OEM seat bolts kind of like this one. Several companies make them, but Bestop & Tuffy are the my favorites.

I am gona be an A hole as well, NO WAY AM I GOING TO LET MY MOM SIT AND WAIT!!! I could not watch all of the video, blood pressure and all.

I haven't been squirrel hunting or eaten any in many years. But I do remember Grandma frying up a batch now and then. Good eatin'.

I was told by a friend that refinished old furniture to use denatured alcohol, which is ethyl alcohol with some extra stuff so people wouldn't drink it. We used it on an old oak table and after a couple of goings over it removed the shellac with out removing the stain. A light pass with steel wool and it is ready for a new top coat. It does make it look lighter because of all the dirt and such that the shellac has collected and the natural darling of shellac. We just put a new top coat on and it looked great. As Leroy said try it in inconspicuous spot to test it may not be shellac.

Couple weeks ago I handled a Prodigy @ GT, liked it quite a bit. But none available. Last week a few landed at SMGA, so I treked up there to pick one up. Just the one.... Well, this happened: Its been a minute since I smelled new guns. Still sorting out how this happened.

P08 Luger. The original 9mm. If you haven’t shot one, you wouldn’t understand. I’m surprised someone doesn’t manufacture these today. Also, the 51 Remington was way ahead of its time. I’m speaking of the original; not the recent attempt to bastardize this wonderful and unique design. In my opinion, these are two of the most beautiful and ergonomic semi auto handguns ever devised.
