Feeling it necessary to be in an armed militia for "survival" passes for nutjob imo.

I'm taking my new cz p-01 to the range tomorrow. Dry firing, the DA is gritty and extremely long. How should I practice the DA pull? one smooth, non-stop motion? or I could take the slack out then finish the pull in kind of a two-step process. I'm thinking of trying to master the one-smooth-pull but I could tell just dry firing that its going to take some serious practice not to jerk the weapon.

Hi Robert. I think that maybe with your handguns and shotguns you are prepared for most contingencies and maybe you want a rifle for fun or other perfectly good reasons. Someone mentioned a 30-30 lever action and I think that is a great suggestion worth consideration. Especially if you any desire to hunt or if you have a son or someone to whom you would pass the rifle down. An AR sounds fun if you are looking for a hobby. Many say an AR is never done, and I think that an AR as a continuous project sounds fun. Especially your budget which gives you freedom to accessorize. Maybe start simple and add on slowly? I have experience with the m16 for infantry training with the Marines. On my own time I shoot rimfires and am currently purchasing a deer rifle. I don't think you are interested in those applications. Good luck.
