My GF and I went last year and shot the .50 at a two for one price. They let her shoot free. Everyone shot at the same target. We went again this year, around 4pm Saturday. It wasn't crowded at all. We were short on money this time and limited ourselves to around $50 or so. I've got .45s at home and neither of us have shot a 9mm so we rented a CZ 75 Compact; and since last year we shot a Bushmaster AR15 and Armalite AR-10A4, and my own first AR15 isn't quite done, we rented the S&W M&P15. If we'd have had more money to spend I'd have shot one of the FN rifles and their shotgun, a CZ rifle or two, and some other CZ handguns.
I can shoot better with my .45s than I did with the CZ75 9mm, but I liked how the CZ felt and it's now on my "considering to buy" list. I'm very curious about their .45ACP model 97. It's a bit large in the grip but I like the solid feel to it. Their model 83 in .380 Auto looks and feels like it'd be fun to shoot.
The S&W jammed on the first shot, first magazine. The first shot was fine, then no ejection. Case was stuck and required a fairly heavy pull on the charging handle to remove it. Rest of the mag was fine (I was loading them to 20 rounds). Second mag, first shot, failure to eject. It was hung up crooked, but a light pull on the handle and it came out. After that there were no more problems. We shot 4 or 5 boxes of Winchester through it. Besides those problems, it was a pleasure. I can't judge it in comparison to any other ARs since the only other one I've shot is that Bushmaster last year. I felt good about the accuracy of it. I'm waiting on my Noveske lower to complete mine. I've got an LMT BUIS on the way from a member here. I've already got my Sabre Upper and my NHMTG mags. When I had the S&W I didn't check the brand of magazine. Maybe the jams were nothing to be concerned about, but I mentioned them to the rep, just so he'd know. He didn't ask for details.
