Makarov .380 semiauto pistol
Another trade-in at Chigger Ridge. Really nice, and compact, this .380 Makarov is in wonderful condition and comes with two magazines. I’ve even got the box and owner’s manual with this one. Great for concealed carry (Fobus makes a holster for it) or for a night-stand gun. This one has adjustable rear sight, too.

IAC Regent 1911A1 .45 ACP
Manufactured in Turkey, these have the nicest fit and finish for an inexpensive “Army” .45. Wonderful accuracy and a great trigger enhance this fine semi-auto pistol. There’s really nothing like a “good ol’” .45.

Maverick M88 12ga HiCap Pump Shotgun
Maverick (by Mossberg) has come up with a real winner in the home defense shotgun world. Holding 7+1 of mean little 2 3/4″ shells, this cylinder bore shotgun can be “coon dogged” (that’s Ozark speak for “accessorized”) a lot of different ways. Dual extractors and twin slide bars make this a slick-functioning action piece, perfect for home defense.

Smith & Wesson 22A1 4″ bbl, .22LR
Smith-Wesson-22A1-4
I’ve been using these 5 1/2″ barrel models for training in my classes for quite a while, and now have stocked a few of these slick little 4″ barrel models. They still have the adjustable target sights and the neat rail on top for red dot or holographic sights, just a shorter barrel. I have some folks who keep one of these in their vehicle for “just such an occasion” as they might need it. Davidson’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee comes with it.

M1 Carbine, Winchester, cal. .30 carbine
Winchester M1 carbine. cal. .30 carbine
A really nice action in an upgraded stock. The Winchester manufactured caliber .30 M1 carbine is a fast action piece designed for CQB. Close quarters battle. So it’s perfect for when the zombies are at the door, or for some really fun times at the range. It has a nice, shiny sport stock and great peep sights. 15 round magazine.

SCCY CPX-1 9mm semiauto pistol
In stock now. SCCY has a winner in the CPX-1. It’s a double action 10 round capacity small frame pistol that I’ve tested personally. Like any other decent small handgun, tho, these have been hard to get. Smooth trigger squeeze and easy to shoot, these received a great rating when reviewed by Concealed Carry magazine (I’m a member of the USCCA). Comes with a trigger lock and two magazines, with extended finger rests at the bottom of the mags.

Kel Tec P32, .32acp semiauto
Kel Tec P32, .32acp semiauto
In stock now, one great little double-action-only pocket pistol that is ideal for concealed carry or a backup piece. The .32acp rounds are still available and a little less costly than the .380, but don’t let that smaller caliber fool you, as the .32 is a devastating bullet. Just ask James Bond ‘007′. Pocket clips are available for left or right handed shooters.

Revue on CZ82 in 9 x 18 Makarov
CZ82 in 9 x 18 Makarov
While they are still available, y’all might consider takin’ a closer look at the CZ82 semiauto pistol that’s becoming more and more popular. I can’t seem to keep them in stock.
Why? Because it is a great shooting mid size pistol with a nice, easy trigger squeeze in both double and single action, it has a good capacity (12 +1), it’s an all-metal frame and slide, it’s designed so it fits both large and small hands with a web friendly grip high on the backstrap, ammunition is inexpensive and readily available, it’s a good caliber with plenty of stopping power without over-penetration, and personal defense (jhp) bullets are available.
Boy, that was a mouthful, wasn’t it?
The pistol has enough weight to absorb a good portion of the felt recoil and these fine handguns are extremely accurate.
Looking down the bore will be a little concerning, though. The lands and grooves are almost invisible. I’ve had several folks tell me “Boomer, this thing’s all shot out!! I can’t even see the rifling!!”
Well, no, it isn’t. It has what’s called a polygonal bore and the rifling is hard to see unless it gets really dirty. Believe me, it’s there.
Many of these surplus guns will show some honest wear from holster carry, but inside, where it counts, they are in great shape. So don’t be afraid of buying one that’s graded average to good.
Take down for cleaning is real easy, using the trigger guard slide release. So, it’s easy to maintain.
I’m trying to keep several in stock, but it seems like I’m ordering these just about every other week. Who’s buying them, you ask? Everyone from the gals & small frame guys to the big guys who want an inexpensive backup piece. They’re a great CCW handgun.
The 9×18 Makarov round lies just in between the .380 acp (9×17) and the 9mm Luger (9×19), so I’ve found it to be a great fit for high capacity, good power and little risk of over penetration.
Come out to Chigger Ridge and we’ll put a few rounds through one on the range. I’d bet you’ll be surprised.
CZ 82 semi auto cal. 9×18 Makarov
CZ 82 semi auto cal. 9x18 Makarov
I’m trying to keep these in stock but folks just keep buying me out. These have to be the best buy in a semi auto on the market. They use the powerful 9×18 makarov cartridge which is readily available here and many other gun stores. These have a 12 round double stack magazine and are a double action model. They are reliable, extremely accurate, and have a relatively light trigger pull so are perfect for the folks (some gals) who don’t have the hand strength for and 9 or 10 pound pull.
