I do! I do!
While I won't admit this to Rob, there is a good reason for departments to go to the simple Combat Tupperware. They are reliable, not idiot proof...but almost (well, as much as you can get a firearm to be), and they are like tinker toys to work on. And it doesn't take much skill for an armorer (yes, looking at you, Rob) to work on. You can get Youtube videos that will tell you about everything. You don't need skilled armorers or gunsmiths with them to keep them up and running for the department. Simple, cheap, and easy.
Sorry Rob, you have many skills and much experience, but you know my attitude on Combat Tupperware.
Lol'd. Agreed on all points.
I can make a really mean grilled cheese sandwich.
Pics. of your grilled cheese or it didn't happen.
you can buy several fine 1911's for the same money as a cz. i paid about $500 for my Remington R-1 several years ago and she is a fine weapon.
In my opinion, the weight of a double-action trigger would take as much effort to learn as racking a slide. I don't think my daughter would have trouble with either.
I hear your pain. But, I live in a municipality that follows the law and I get my permits with the 30 days. Other townships drag this out to over 9-12 months I have heard from a colleague. As far as hollow points, you can buy and own them, and i can use them on the range, but not have them in a gun ...
Having been around for awhile I started duty carrying a Ruger Security Six .357. I was the last hold out until the department transitioned to that damned tactical tupperware Glock. I hated it then and I do to this day. I was lucky enough to then go to a department that started out allowing the carry of the AUTO (damnit) of your choice as long as it was on the approved list. I switched to the CZ and was in love. I carried that pistol until 1998 when we transitioned to the Sig P220. I liked it but never really loved it. Accurate and smooth yes. But just did not fit my hand. Next up was the USP in 9mm. A very meh weapon. In the last 4 years we switched to the M&P 9mm. Still not into tactical tupperware. Plus we had two of the weapons suddenly disassemble them selves in a very violent manner at the range. NOT a good thing. Dont know why but still, I raise an eyebrow. In short I am still a revolver lover. But...if I go auto I would go with a CZ or one of the excellent and affordable clones out there.

Very nice. I’m waffling between that and a Glock 19x, since I don’t have a Sig or Glock, then there’s the Walther PPQ..........I want them all.
..........I want them all
I hear you! It's a great time to be a firearm enthusiast.
I disassembled the pistol, cleaned and greased it, and reassembled. Feels solid, a lot more so than I expected. The ergonomics are fantastic, and the trigger feels really crisp. Hopefully we'll have a chance to get to the range soon.
Thanks again to all you guys for your insights and suggestions.
Congratulations! I hope it works well for you.Here it is! Sig P320 full-size, 45 ACP, with night sights
Great guns in this thread, had most of them, Sigs, HK's, S&W's, 1911's, Kahrs, Berettas... you name it.
The #1 pistol that I've been recommending for shooters, newbies, experienced, home defense, carry for many years... is a Glock 19. Dubbed... COMPACT PERFECTION by many.
Absolutely reliable, always fires, low recoil, parts available galore, easy to clean and work on. To me it's the VW Bug of pistols... will run in any weather, any condition, any environment.
If leftist NJ has mag restrictions, get the ten round mags. Or even get the Glock 26. Me... I carry a lightweight CCO 45ACP 1911 or a Glock 19. The Glock is my bedside pistol pictured here in a cordovan Milt Sparks NLG holster.
Have fun, enjoy and be safe.
