Not surprised. These are kinda rare as they're no longer in production. The only reason I came across it is that my local gun store has two of them in their Class III cage.

In case anyone here has a Ruger LCP and isn't already aware, there's a recall out on some of them. Ruger - LCP Product Safety Warning and Recall Notice

I didn't build one but purchased a complete AR in 6.8 spc cal. from CMMG here in Missouri. They sell all the parts to build your own. Certainly some or many come from DPMS and if you haven't checked out their catalogue, it is a good place to start.

Have you guys heard about the Blair Holt Bill yet? It's H.R. 45. I found out about it when a friend of mine sent me an email going around about a bill that will require us to list all firearms we own on our federal income tax returns beginning next year. Now, according to snopes, this tax return thing is false. A proposal to require gun owners to list their firearms on federal income tax returns was in fact part of Senate Bill 2099, way back in 2000, but it didn't make it through committee. snopes.com: Handgun Safety and Registration Act

But in researching this, I came across Blair Holt. According to the email going around, it has a bunch of insidious provisions, including registry, fingerprinting, submission to physical and mental evaluation. There is a provision stating that you must keep your guns locked up and inaccessible to children under 18, and the government has the right to come and inspect how you're storing your guns. If you're not storing them correctly, you can be fined and imprisoned for up to 5 years.

Now, according to snopes, the part about a federal registry is true. But the part about physical and mental health evaluation is false. You have to certify that you'll keep your firearms inaccessible to anyone under 18, but the part about the government's right of inspection applies to firearms-related business only, not ordinary households. There's still a lot of info to digest though. I recommend looking through the article as well as the actual bill.

Here's the snopes article:

And here's the actual bill:

Hey guy's, I'm new to firearms. I'm in the process of getting my restricted so I can purchase a handgun. I'm interested in IPSC/USPSA run and gun shooting. Anyone here practice or compete? Any advice on which gun for production division? I'm looking at the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow or maybe a Glock. Here is a link to the Shadow Ceska zbrojovka a.s. - CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW

Nice gun , very reliable in function.
But-Slides were breaking off, if the ammo that was being used had to much power.(but I believe that was just the Military using to strong an ammo). I not sure but Beretta may have corrected that problem, with a stronger slide/updated model.

Can you be more specific? What do you want to know about them? I used to own one.

10-14-2009, 05:14 PM

How are they? Good guns? Im not sure if I want the 92 or just get the 96 for the .40
