Well, I finally did it. I got me, my wife, our checkbook, and a trade-in to the gun store at the same time.
I traded in my Colt .380. During our last trip to the range, it misfed 14 times over 17 rounds. It's no longer a question of fixing the gun. Even if it was fixed, I wouldn't trust it. We decided to keep the Star .40 as a truck gun.
I lusted after a Steyr that they were trying to get rid of, but it was 9mm and not .357sig. So I didn't get that, I went with a 9mm, that I knew was good.
I know you're itching to know what we got. Well... OK...
I purchased a new CZ P-01. Their latest and greatest 75 model. Mine came with a target shot at 25 meters and every round is in a 2 inch circle.
Lexie bought a Taurus M85 snubbie in 38 Special. She tried out two Smiths, a Glock, a Sig, a Khar, and the CZ Rami and decided that the Stainless Taurus fit her better. The dealer even set her up with a pants clip holster and let her try it in the store (it was waaaaay after closing time by this point).
BTW: If you haven't bought a CZ new... they are covered in sealent/grease/whatever. It took me an hour to clean it... not including searching for the magazine base plate I launched across the room. My first launch, I'm so proud.
Here are some initial pics. I'm going to the range Thursday morning and will write up both pistols when I get back.
