You’re more than welcome to try out my P10C sometime. They usually aren’t available to rent at most places, unlike the rest of your list which can be rented anywhere.
Everyone seems to love the CZ. Last time I was in Arizona I rented a bunch of different stuff. No CZ but my favorite pistol was definitely the 226

No reason not to love the CZ. :hubba:
The usual “negative” about them is the aggressive grip texture but it doesn’t bother me at all. Wifey refuses to shoot them because of the grips, but she owns more stuff than me so she has her options. :lol:

I’m thinking about buying parts to build an AR during beer flu quarantine. Aside from a lower since all gun stores and NJ NICS is shut down since they’re not essential. :disappoint:

Not in NJ, that I know of; mind you my research was based around the polymer 80 builds. But some people have bought them, driven to PA to finish, then brought the completed firearm back to NJ. Legality of that in NJ, I’m not sure of.

NJ gun laws are stupid and convoluted.

My next batch of permits magically got signed and approved after I left a message stating I’ve been waiting more than 30 days.

But our lovely governor has everything shut down... because NJ NICS and gun stores aren’t essential. :angry: :rage:

My parts order was finally complete yesterday... the distributors are 2+ weeks backlogged right now.

Put together this upper for my gen4 Glock 17 this morning from scratch.

Zev Omen RMR cut slide
Zev Ultimate Pro trigger, flat with red safety
Zev Pro upper compoents
Zev Optimized Match barrel
Trijicon night sights
Adjustable RMR with 1MOA dot.

I weighed it on my kitchen scale and with the RMR on it the gun dropped60 grams, or 2.11 ounces over the stock setup, so not too bad..

I think I'll start shooting 9mm a bit more now.

Oh yeah, if you don't have a good sight pusher I highly recommend the MGW Sight Pro. I've had it a few years and before that had their Glock only pusher. I always forget how awesome that tool is until I use it. I've got the shoes for Glock, Sig, and HK and this thing works perfect on all of them.

Still brass cased stuff?
Depending on what you’re looking to get for it, I could be interested in some 5.56 or 9...

I don't know... I never sell ammo anymore. Last time I sold any was 2008, but I was sitting on supply larger than many gun stores.

I never bought a .380, but if I had it and wanted to dump any, I would think about dumping that TBH. Most 9mm guns are small enough that I never considered a .380.

Unless you're like me and have a dedicated ammo room, I personally would rather purchase more ammo instead of selling it. We have no idea how the ammo supply chain is going to go, but history shows that when it is in short supply they do not recover quickly.

get rid of the ,380 and the weapons that use it and trade for 9mm.

.380 is such a dumb round

I dont think they compare much. This is suppressor and optics ready out box. Its also much larger to get those 15 rounds in. I also seem the FNX holding value well. Its just different than others and a great platform for 45acp. I do really like the new 2.0 :doe: and would buy one in 9mm.

Jersey doe so 10rd max and no suppressors. :jalepenis:
I’ve held the FNX before and it feels great, M&P feels great in hand too. I’ll have to go and try them back to back before dropping the cheddar.

Probably going to do a spring kit on it and the take up on trigger is massive. A course they do in 15 seconds take me about 30. They all have more skill and highly tuned guns. Image

Cajunize that SP01 and rock on!
