Yup,Yup, I'm almost certain to retire sometime next year.
Truth be told I'm stocking up on guns and ammo now while I still have a six-figure income and paid health insurance.
Once I cross that line (retire) I truly am planning on trying to get by with the guns I've got.
Although I've stacked ammo fairly deep.
I've been shooting a lot lately and in retirement I'd like that to continue.
A few cases of ammo sound like a bunch, but we both know it isn't :(
May need to get into reloading.

Exactly, I need to stock up while I have some disposable income. When yo run the numbers, 30 years of regular shooting is a LOT of ammo.

Maybe Medicare should cover ammo? Good idea.

It’s mental health medicine, so yeah!

Dang, those do look good. Color me plumb jealous as can be.

I've always loved the grips on them.

The CZ Shadow SA trigger, is close to a tuned 1911 trigger, extremely sweet.
My full size is about 3.5# in SA.
Since I shoot a lot of nice 1911's, it works well for me. But...when I let friends try it, they often double tap with the light, short, trigger pull.

Yah, my Dan Wesson V-Bob is about 4.25# and is about as light as I can go for a carry gun.
My CZ 75 Compact, with an action job and CGW parts, now measures 4.0# SA / 11.0 DA#.
IMHO it's SA is 1911 like.
And I am getting occasional double taps with the light, short reset, trigger.
I did take note on your description of the full-size Shadow 2 trigger you have @ ~3.5# SA.
With that in mind, I've chosen to go in a different direction with my S2C.
I'm having an action job with the following kit installed -
Action Enhancement Kit for CZ Shadow 2 (apextactical.com)
It's actually designed to increase the SA while reducing the DA :)
Delivers a clean, consistent single-action style trigger break while providing a smooth stack-free double action.
Approximately 6 lb. DA with 4 lb. SA using Carry Mainspring.
With some trigger time, that should be about perfect for me :cool:

On Saturday I scratched an itch. Sportsman Guide had a Keltec SUB 2000 gen 3 in 9mm on sale. I know, I know a Keltec. Took it to the range on Sunday and put just under 100 rounds through it with no failures. Was a bit surprised at first with recoil. Zeroed the CT red dot for home protection.
