Re: CZ 82 holster

For CCW, I find the H715 Don Hume IWB that fits my Makarov PM also fits my CZ82.

Re: FEG RK59 question

I have used a couple of hundred rounds in my RK59 9x18 and more in one chambered for .380. All the former rounds were S&B milsurp and Norinco, all 95g or less. No problems but they are a bit stout on the hands. I much prefer the SMC918.

Re: Just traded into an R61

These are my favorites of the non PM guns. Small light and fit in a PPK pocket holster. A handful to shoot repeatedly but good basic pocket defense. Enjoy.

RUSSIAN PM MAKAROV

Not a bad price. I got one about 2-3 years ago on GB for around $450 OTD.

Replacing two boxes of ammo is cheaper than replacing a gun.

AMMO for reduced strength spring PA63

I put a new hammer spring from Wolff in my PA63 to improve the trigger pull. I know I have had problems with some old Russian ammo and hard primers in the past with such spring change. I have used Winchester without problems. What have you guys used for ammo with these reduced strength springs and s...

charter arms

The quality on the newer "Charter 2000" is hit and miss, so, the only one I have kept is an early one with the new shrouded bbl, blue frame, nlk or SS cylinder (it looks ss), and old style checkered wood grips. I have several old style Undercovers, snub Police Bulldogs and Bulldog .44s. Be...

P64 or SMC 918?

I have tried two P64s and must have had two lemons as neither was a keeper. I have several SMC918/380s, R61s and RK59s all keepers. The SMC is my favorite pocket pistol. I bought 5 pair of grips panels years ago from GPC with the flat left, necessary as I am a southpaw.
