I don't own one but have shot their trap shotguns. They were fine firearms. Most of what I have read says the same.

I don't know a lot about guns but do enjoy a couple of hours at a range from time to time. Does anyone have any input on CZ guns? My brother in law builds them and I am thinking about getting one.
Hard to go wrong with the metal frame CZs.

This is the prototype pistol photographed and tested for the AH “Performance Center Fighting Pistol!” cover story nearly 25 years ago.

Love CZ. I’ve got a Scorpion that’s a lot of fun. Love the looks of many of their metal pistols.

Also love the one Garand that I bought from my wife’s uncle. He was a retired Chief of Police in a nearby Chicago suburb and was reducing his significant collection. Man the stories he told!

This is certainly Off Topic but thought I'd throw it out there anyway. I've found that it isn't unusual for Car Guys to also be Gun Guys. If you happen to be one of those people, Please share some of your most prized pieces. This is one that I picked up recently, Scope Rail, Green Dot and Custom Trigger are on the way.

Any fans of old west shooters?

Here are a few photos I have. The first two are of my nephews Remington Woodsmaster 742 30-06. The other two are of my daughter shooting his old revolver and his favorite Ruger 380. I wish I could own firearms but, because I did some stupid shit in my youth, I can't.

You could help her with that grip. The tea cup grip isn't in her best interest if she continues to shoot.

Come on, don’t exaggerate. Her grip will be fine.

And, if she ever graduates to “the most powerful handgun in the world”, she can switch to the Dirty Harry grip. :LOL:

Here's one of a few I may or may not have lying around....cause I don't go boating all that often.

FN M249-S

Here’s one for the “old revolver” crowd. It’s a family heirloom passed down from my Great Grandfather. Word is he toted it everywhere he went then it was my Grandfather’s truck gun for as long as I can remember. It’s possibly the first handgun I ever fired as a kid.
About all I know is it’s a Belgian made knock off of a Texas Rangers .38 from that era. They were imported in the early 1930’s from what I understand as a cheaper alternative to the big names of the day. It’s not worth anything but it’s damn sure not going anywhere either.

This is what I carry. It isn’t lethal but it will back someone up. Shoots .68 caliber balls of pepper powder that burst on impact!

Pretty sure they used to sell those (Texas Ranger) in the Sears Catalog.

We never looked too deep into it. It sits on the mantle in a display case….the case is probably worth more than the gun. lol
It’s nice to have a little piece of family history.
