10mm semi-auto handguns / Saw an RIA10MM today
May 07 2013 07:47:43 PM MDT
This store is near my Ma & Pa's house.  I was out that way seeing them today and I stopped in after seeing that CZ in armslist the other day just to be outraged in person :).

I was actually in the store, so I don't have a link to the RIA, but here's the CZ listed on ArmsList that is also in the same store:

I got my 1006 for around that at the end of summer.  I'm still smiling.

10 crazy  :P

I'm selling off some ammo on Broker. If all goes well I may add another  :o :o

What are you going to get?  If this Witness works out, I might buy one of the Polymer compact Witnesses...they are crazy cheap.

I just put an 18lbs recoil spring from a CZ 75D PCR (which is a compact model).  I don't think I would want anything heavier.  It was difficult to operate the slide.  Perhaps the CZ compact springs are longer than the Witness compact springs though.  I'm going to get the calibration pack and go from there:

Can't I just buy a 20 or 22lbs wolff spring?

So the buyer wasn't the original owner, but the gun was passed to him by his dad, so when the slide cracked, he ordered a caliber conversion kit, and this gun also has a 2nd spring around the first spring, and there were one of those Wilson Combat shock buffs on the guide rod, but you couldn't lock the action with that installed so I removed that.  I don't think anybody did any fitting of the slide to the frame, but I hope EAA (or at least Tanfoglio) fits the barrel to the slide.  Everything seemed good with the action.  No drag or anything.  Barrel lockup seemed about how you would expect.   I'm not planning on shooting this gun until I get it properly spung though, so what power springs does everybody recommend for a 10mm Witness Compact?

#10
I do, I'm adding another 10mm to the lineup.
#11
It's still the 'rounded' slide, and I'm not sure if it required any fitting...the guy claimed it was a new slide and barrel...so when the old slide cracked, he probably bought a conversion kit.  He was honest about the slide needing to be replaced from too many full house 10mm loads, so I mean either way it's not going to break the bank.  I'm a big CZ and CZ clone fan. I've been looking for a Witness to play around with for a while.
#12
Its a fairly recent looking Wonder Finish, but the guy who's selling it cracked the slide and replaced it (apparently) with a new slide and barrel (with adjustable LPA rear sight).  I'm getting a decent price -- about $140 under the best out the door new price I can find around here with the box and 2 mags. hopefully this thing checks out, and the previous owner has worked out any of the bugs.  I'll post some pictures after I get it.

Reloading 10mm ammo / New Hornady Press In Route

The lockout die is nicer than the powder cop because its stops the press from indexing if there is a high/low powder situation.

Ergo handle and strong mount

RCBS powder lockout die

I have the bullet feeder and the case feeder.  The case feeder is great.  The bullet feeder is less useful.

A guy on www.thehighroad.org is selling a nice S&W 1006 with 5 mags for $750. Not a great price, but considering the 3 extra mags (5 total) its better than what you might get from the auction sites.  Just passing this along.
