Re: CZ-75 spur hammer, will it bite you?
My older CZ-75 has the spur hammer. The hammer spur hit my hand, but not painfully, but I ground it down a bit just to be safe. Now I can manually cock it but it doesn't hit the web of my hand.

Re: S&W 41: What it likes to eat
More recently I have been using CCI Standard Velocity. It shoots very well and has a little more impulse and cycles fine. I also occasionally shoot Green Tag, but it is more expensive.

Re: F-22 Pilots Dizzy at the controls
This seems pretty silly to me. We have been using OBOGS O2 systems for about 25 yrs. Why can't these bozos get this thing right? If they can't get it right, replace the damn thing with LOX.

Re: StG 44 in .22LR - How cool is this?
Cool, but the clones of the StG 44 which are/were made recently in a limited run were going for over $4k. I like to have nice centerfires with .22 surrogates. A bit spendy for this pair.
