I'm done with c&r pistols.....

[HskrVern]

I've had the worst frickin luck with c&r pistols! I've gone 0 for 2 on Cz82s (both have problems only discoverable at the range), 1 for 2 on M57s, 1 for 1 on 1895 nagants, and just recently 0 for 1 on P64s. That P64 that I just frickin picked up needs a new firingpin/spring, the dang pin rotates in the safety and jams the safety in whatever position its in at random. To make it worse because the nub on the pin is worn it will actually strike the primer of the chambered round if you decock it and put it on safe. There goes another 40 bucks i'll have to sneak past my wife.......

Did you pay the extra $10 for hand pick? I always have and usually got a better product. JMHO

Aye, every last one has been a "handpick". I just don't have good luck with the pistols.

That is a bummer I got a good cz82 and cz52 that way. sorry for your experience. Anyway it is all about sneaking new toys and their maintenance past the wives. LOL.

Don't give up. Stick with the tried-and-true classics that have proven themselves in combat.

That's too bad. I've had nothing but good luck with mine. Though I have bought most of my guns in person.

But, even the ones I've bought without seeing them have worked out good too.

Don't throw in the towel on "C&R" guns. And, keep in mind that C&R doesn't just mean Military Surplus. Anything older than 50 years old is a C&R.
