    I grabbed one of those CZ50s from OWS also. Never ordered from them before. So I hope I don’t regret it. Been wanting a CZ50 since I got my C&R tho. Will post an update as well when it comes in.

    I just pulled the trigger on a CZ50. I've been in the market for a C&R pocket pistol type gun (this or a P-64) and this is a decent price for what I've seen. Doesn't seem to be a ton of them on the market anymore; I was tracking a good looking one on GB that went for $290 (and charging $40 for shipping vs. OWS $15) and a quite rough looking one on GunsAmerica that went for $230 w/$30 shipping. I can report back when I receive mine.

    Waiting on an email response from OWS regarding providing a copy of my C&R. Did they allow you to scan and email it?

    Let's hear about those CZ50s when they arrive. I would be more eagerly interested in them if they shot a more effective round but then again, I haven't found the P-64 to be too harsh or the DA trigger pull to be too difficult to manage. If I was bothered by the DA pull, however, I would re-profile & polish the trigger or something like that rather than give it a weaker spring. Anyone ever shoot a .38 S&W detective special? The DA trigger pull is also stiff as it is supposed to be for safety's sake but like the Radom, the SA pull is quite acceptable, especially for a more powerful round in a more concealable package. It would certainly be nice to have a very comfortable range gun but I haven't found .32 to be priced as competitively as .22LR, assuming you can locate it at all.

    Earlier on, if you did some looking you could find 32acp, Geco, for $10 a box. Can reload it stupid cheap.

    For the P64. I mean, not saying DA is impossible. But it still sucks. One was not a terrible as the other one. But both ran to 25lbs or so. Only about 5lbs and fairly crisp on SA.

    My Cz50 is probably around 7-8lbs DA and 3.5lbs SA. Very smooth for the former. Extremely crisp for the later.

    Im thinking of ordering a couple, nice discounts in quantity. Anyone get one trying to see if the select grade is worth it especially if ordering multiples.

    Those CZ75s they have are nice, shame they are not C&R and require an HQL.

    When your CZs arrive, please post a review. I had seriously considered getting a CZ-82 instead of another P-64 for the extra mag capacity but the fit & finish of the ones I looked at was not even close. I know you can surely get a nice one but the CZ-50s I saw often had cracked grips and the CZ-82s I viewed looked like they were painted out back with krylon by metal shop students in between cigarette breaks whereas the Radom factory produced a very nice even blue on all of my P-64s and Tokarevs. I would like to own a CZ as I know they can produce good weapons there and I could stand some diversity in the collection.

    Anyone know the skinny on the Royal Tiger Carcanos?

    Are they worth it?

    DK's web site shows "Sold Out" of those.

    Dang. They were the cream of the crop in regards to what came in. Indian springs firearms or some similar name apparently also got purpose built carbines in. I'll have to see what I can find for the info.

    ---Edit---

    Here you go: http://store.indianspringsarmory.co...lvary-carbine-65x52-w-folding-bayonet-3311380

    Apparently, if you call them up and specify what you are looking for (specific date range, etc.) they'll do their best to accommodate you without charging any extra.

    They're from Ethiopia. TFB did a video on their Ethopian Enfields a couple of months ago. He ordered five. Out of that lot he was able to piece together two that might work; both had problems.

    Buyer beware. They're down to the bottom of the pile now.
