A couple of new 9mm's
I picked up a couple of new 9 mm's this week. My dad has a Springfield Range Officer in 9mm that I've shot several times and really liked how accurate it is. I was going to order one for myself when I found this 9mm Target Model and bought one. Friday, I stopped by a shop I haven't been in for a year or so and was pleasantly surprised to find a CZ 85B in the used pistol cabinet that someone had ordered, shot it once and ordered something else. Made an offer on it and away I went. Should have time to get out and shoot them both in the next couple of days.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
CZ’s are real good shooting pistols, and I want a 1911 in 9mm so bad I’m ready to sell a few things off. Bet you’ll be happy with how they both shoot. Todd/3leg
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
Those are dandy as heck.
I've got the 9mm Range Officer but in Blue (black?). I haven't shot a lot this year, but it's a real dandy and I'd keep it over my Para 1911 .45acp.
Have you tried loading a mag for it yet?
Get an UpLula because unless you have the strength of Samson you'll need it for those single stacks.
I could sell these to friends and be confident they'd really like them.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
That's funny, I thought I was doing something wrong. Yes, they are a bit stiff. I ordered a couple more magazines for both of them. I'll have to order one of those loaders next time I need some stuff.BlaineG wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 2:06 pm Those are dandy as heck.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
I have a Springfield just like yours and four Glocks ,all 9mm. They are all good shooters but the Springfield is the tops.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
My son and I tried out about a dozen 9 semi-autos at a local indoor range. The Springfield 1911 was the one I did best with, by far. In the end, my son selected a Ruger revolver in 9 instead of a semi-auto; dad feels he's raised him well.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
The CZ85 is the best fitting handgun I've ever held! Had one years ago and foolishly sold it. Not even sure why, as I loved the feel, and accuracy of that gun. Never got around to finding another, but now my interest is peaked by yours and I better begin looking again!

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
Yeah, I've been on a bit of a tear lately. Life's been good, what can I say?
I picked this little beauty up last week at a little show. It's a Venezuelan FN 24/30 Cavalry Carbine in 7x57. Matching numbers, no import marks and a
perfect bore.
I love the South American Mausers, so many variations that you could spend a lifetime chasing them all.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
That's also likely a very accurate Mauser too! I've owned a few in 7x57 and 8x57, and all were very accurate, and well made.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
Looks like you got a real winner on that one. I have owned and shot a lot of Mauser rifles but not one in the safe now.

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
Big fan of the 7mm. I've had several but just two now. I have an 08/34 Brazilian Cavalry carbine that I have for years. I was very happy that one had survived the purge when I found what had happened while in the hospital. Fortunately, no one knew what it was or worth.marlinman93 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 12:08 pm That's also likely a very accurate Mauser too!

Re: A couple of new 9mm's
Ya done good on that.....most EVERY 7mm South American Mauser I've ever handled has been junk......when you find one with a nice bore, especially a carbine........you hit the jackpot. For a few years I was after a Rem. RB in 7mm and while I found a few that looked good...on the outside...the insides were toast.2ndovc wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 11:55 am I picked this little beauty up last week at a little show.
