Re: You have 30 days to buy one handgun.

I'm a bit biased toward my CZ 75B mainly because I like the feel and weight of a steel gun. I've shot Sheepishlions P07 and it has a very nice feel and trigger. I think it has the Omega trigger which is a newer design than on mine. The CZs really improve with use, dry fire and live fire improves the smoothness and you can't go wrong with either choice. It probably comes down to if you want a classic type heavier gun or a more modern lighter gun. Under the right conditions both could be carried and concealed. Both would be fine range guns too!

Hah. I wonder (idle curiosity of course) if there is an IWB arrangement compatible with a belly+spare tire physique.

My 1911 carries IWB at 5:00 quite nicely despite my plus-sized body type.

As long as your pants have some room in them, and you wear your belt at your actual waistline rather than under your stomach, then IWB works fine if you are heavy. The key issue is that your pants (and belt) need to be a little bigger than you would normally wear.

If your pants are snug and you are on the next to last belt notch, then IWB would probably be uncomfortable. I am overweight but have lost some recently so I have room to carry IWB if I want. Personally I prefer an OWB high-ride pancake since even with IWB I still have to wear my shirt untucked or a jacket to conceal it, so there's no particular gain for me.

I have tried a tuckable IWB but find that I just end up with a wad of shirt material crammed around the gun and little confidence that I'd be able to draw effectively if I needed it.

Congrats! Break it in first before tempting to go for mods. You may find it won't need anything but lots of fun range time! :beer2:

I looked at the roster link posted by fknaus and looked at the recently decertified guns that can not be bought sold or made in sunny cal and my advice is move back to Colorado. What they have against all of those revolvers is beyond me.

I looked at the one list and when I saw the K38 M14 Target Masterpiece I couldn't look anymore, I hope shinzen likes his new CZ.

It's really pretty absurd isn't it?

They say the CZ trigger really starts to shine after about 1k rounds, so I've got some shooting to do.

Make a dummy round and spend several days dry firing constantly. It'll do the same thing a whole lot faster and cheaper.
