    The CZ-52's were cheaper a few years ago, the supply has dried up, now they cost as much or more than the tt-33's that are flooding the market for the dealer price of around $200.And the si-fy looking cz is no where near as classy as as the browning knockoff TT-33. Still would not recommend either for carry due to its cartridge. Well unless you are going after persons in body armor....

    The cz82's are nice, for a mutant macraov. A good cheap carry pistol if needed.

    Century arms so far has the best price for 7.62x25, bought the case of the cheap cracked neck stuff, late production, just had sizeing issues with the polish machinery I suppose. Works fine in all pistols, including my cranky C-96 broomhandel. Some short recoils out of my newish CZ-52. But the springs are rather new and the ammo is on the lighter end of the spectrum.
    As far as corrosive, the bulgarian stuff (in 16 round packs) is. But any ammo from the 60 and newer should all be (assuming it is eastern block) all non corrosive. I don't know,exactly what dates witch country switched over. I use gunzilla, takes out the corrosive salts and cleans the bore. a CLP that actually works!....

    Cool. I buy my ammo from different sources, but I like sportsman's guide, cheaper than dirt, Natchez, and aimsurplus. I only order non corrosive, I'm not big on cleaning my guns. I've had my shotgun 6 years, I hunt with it on every bird season, and I have yet to clean it.

    I'd rather have a TT-33. I don't concealed carry though. I was gonna go get a license, but I have no real reason other than cool factor, and cool factor is not enough. At home I always have one or 2 guns locked and loaded, and my wife is always prepared while I'm at work, but other than travel or hunting, I don't see a need for daily carry.

    However, if I did, I'd like either a Llama, or a Star. They are great trustworthy guns, slim, and dependable. Also, mini 1911 clones in a single stack are the best.

    yeah, i guess we need to make a different thread for Our Gunslinger Tools. If I make one, can you transfer the stuff from this thread that's not relevant?

    yes, only you got to clearly indicate to me the place where, in your opinion, you started digressing

    wow, that's hard. maybe two pages ago? someone posted a picture of 3 revolvers, and then it became a weapons thread. let me check it out and I'll post the link of the exact post.

    *edit*

    that's gonna be kind of impossible. we did alot of back and forth. However, I'm pretty sure the whole last page was our guns. If it doesn't bother you too much, we can just let be, and move on from here.

    Default Here's a closeup of how it looks on the barrel.

    I found this one on the net but I'd really like to see how it's placed on the barrel and in what direction because the only pics I see on this site seem to show that the mark is backwards(?)



    Thanks in advance!

    Interesting and COOL!

    Did you photoshop that image or did you actually beat me to engraving the sigul of the Eld on a revolver of your own?

    I actually had it laser engraved at a jewelry store. They also engraved a rose in the grips for me.

    I had a dream about this pistol 10 years ago. It was worth the wait.
    It's an EAA Bounty Hunter .45 SAA with a 4.5 inch barrel. First firearm I ever purchased for myself.

    You two are off to a really good start.

    Do not discount a used revolver. I got a lovely used blackhawk for around $300 in the box without a scratch. If there are any problems or the finish is worn, there are many ways to fix them. And that is half the fun.

    A good sixgun will still defend home and hearth quite well.

    lead dealer--ua didn't kill it; just a flesh wound

    ....i have knowledge the SK knew from whence he spoke concerning

    fanning the trigger
    (hint--goes to a gentleman of our world's post depression)

    drum roll----and that his guns were modeled after the Colt Lighting double action but with a swing out cylinder:a melding of two worlds.

    Actually this is the criteria the staff uses when determining if it's time to kill a thread: Did lead dealer just finish posting in it?

    Coup de Gras possibly?

    the colt lightning (double action) with a swing cylinder became the colt new service. At least according to the colt production line.

    This is what gun I'm going to try to get to have the etching put on.

    http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore...0256_large.jpg

    It's chambered in .45LC and is a SA/DA. When I think of Roland's gun, this is what I see with a bit more engraving on them.

    That is a good choice!

    Might not want the target model, they snag when clearing the holster.Big hi profile sights. Go with the non adjustable sights, more traditional, quicker draw...

    Do not forget about the rosewood grips!

    I picture Roland's guns as 2 PIETTA REMINGTON 1858 .44 with octagonal canon.

    Yes, but they are black powder "cap and ball" guns.

    But they certainly meet the size and ruggedness factor......
