That Tanfoglio bears a strong resemblance to a CZ. I have a Tanfoglio CZ-75 clone from when you couldn't import the CZ and the quality is fantastic.

 

hmm... I have small hands and have found for me that the thin grips flat mainspring and short trigger work great...

the small hands thing got me the narrow tight jobs as a mech....

Someone on another board owns a EAA in 45 ACP IIRC and says he loves it...

thinkin price wise plus accuracy and reliability reports on the EAA might be the way to go for many calibers?

 

EEA is good for the money. Been looking at a 10mm from them myself. The hunters look nice.

 

only thing for me is my hand size might make em a nonstart kinda thing? But all reports claim they are good firearms and think I saw something about making em multi caliber... as in slide and barrel changing... like 10mm n 45acp... same frame...

 

What grain of .356 are you using?

 

I have to wonder why this thread is in the Humour, Games, Jokes and Diversions Forum instead of the Firearms forum or The General Survival and Preparedness Form??? The only monkeys to give replies with the levity to be expected of the HGJ&D Forum were @Gator45/70 Home Defense | Survival Monkey Forumsand @GOG Home Defense | Survival Monkey Forums

In keeping with the OP's humorous, gamester, jokey, diversionary intent....

 

@chelloveck I decided it was a diversion. Not sure how members would respond but I am really enjoying the answers. Many have taken the question seriously as I was hoping they would. I have really enjoyed and learned from some of the posts.

 

Besides razor sharp knitting needles what is your go to round?

 

And remember, ballistics gel is meant to be a "standard" to test bullets side by side, not any any shape to be a realistic substitute for what a bullet will do to a human/target.

 

The grip on the EAA looks like it came right off a C&-75. It naturally isn't as small as a single stack, but to me it is by far the nicest double stack grip. I have wide hands and shortish fingers and the CZ grip fits very well.

 

It's all good....entertaining...and informative is all fine by me.

Nobody but Jehova's Witnesses ever knocks at my door....and even they don't stay very long....but theoretically speaking, .357Magnum....it would be the most powerful calibre I could legally own....it will also fire .38special, has a range of loads and projectile options...and will feed .357 magnum long arms as well.

Appears that the 10mm is firing a not quite depleted uranium slug.

 

If I can get them cheap, 125gr .356 bullets otherwise 124 or 125 9mm bullets. Don't shoot it a lot as my two tend to toss the brass forward of the firing line on an indoor range (and they don't like me going forward of the firing line to police my brass ) as for 9mm, there is all sorts of it available if I can't get my own and the CZ is dead nuts accurate.

Am I the only one that recalls 1911 shooting prior to Bullet proof vests & Chest Plates? (Hollywood, Nickolas Cage "Windtalkers" )

Prior to bullet proof vests, you dropped your 1911 into what would be called the Traditional Target Stance and only afforded the opposition the slimmest of human target. Photo A.

Once Bullet proof vests & Chest Plates became Standard Issue, every one wanted to expose thier chests. Photo B.

Now shooting on the rise, as in out of a holster with an arc, has far more inaccuracies than dropping your sidearm down with a corresponding step of the gun arm's foot. Premature detonation while dropping your 1911 down equals a centered head shot. While premature detonation while rising equals a round low and off center in the dirt. Poor (Excess) timing while dropping your 1911 down on target equals a belly or crotch hit. Poor (excess) timing shooting on the rise equals an over the opposite shoulder miss.

Now as I'm not in the habit of going to bed with body armor, duty belt & sidearm on. When things go bump in the night I can roll off the mattress while snatching my 1911 and use that WWI,WWII,Korea,& Nam 1911 Old Skool shooting style. The further your firearm is from your center line,the more bad things can happen. (Hollywood, Kighthawks Billy Dee Williams vs Rutger Hauger)

Yup, drop that shotgun down giving the opposition nothing more than a shoulder to aim at................Devastating......JMHO.

 

Whatever you are using, practice, practice, practice is the key. I'd rather be dead nuts accurate with a suppressed Ruger .22 pistol than fumble fucking around with a pump action shotgun trying to remember where the slide release switch is so I can make that really tacti-cool racking sound. Again, whatever you have, have a light on it.

 

Hey, 5.56 for the Win!

 

If some one has broken into my house ,I'm not giving my position away, either by shining a beacon to give my position away or racking a slide to give my position away.
It's bad enough the gun has a muzzle flash , but hopefully the only sensation the perp will have before falling asleep.
The perp has no intention of giving their victim warning ,neither should the victim give warning with prexposing a defensive strategy.
I do most of my shooting practice is on aluminum soda cans and steel bean cans .
They tend to be very responsive to being shot, and support my aim small miss small strategy.
When those cans are too perforated to respond to being hit from the side, I make the end the target, THEN I recycle them,, easier to crush.
If one is dependent on a long arm to defend with, inside of a house, it is significantly difficult to shoot around corners, where as a hand gun is quite adequate for this purpose. It pays to learn to be ambidextrous .
If your primary hand is injured, are you going to just let the perp kill you ?
Inside the house I don't need a flash light , I have battery powered motion sensor lights through out, except the bed room.
If motion sensor lights, out side and in, do not dissuade a perp from entering a home ,chances are racking a slide won't either.
Trying to scare some one racking a slide is a poor habit/mentality to develop .
Ever heard of buck fever.
A green horn, upon seeing his first buck, starts cycling the bolt and empties the magazine, and not fired a shot.
Had it been a perp in the house, they would know that the victim is emptying his defense.
Muscle memory has every thing to do with responding to aggression, and KNOWING what you've got in your hand .
My guns are guns because they are loaded , if they are not loaded they are inert paper weights.
I do have a few paper weights, not inclusive, to the useful guns in the collection. .
