What to get the guy who has EVERYTHING!

[bobjones223]

Ok so here is where I am at.

Every year I am tasked with the mission of getting the owner of our company a new toy for Christmas. Everyone in the company pitches in and I am left with around $1,800.00 to spend to get him something that he doesn't currently own...(He already owns most of the common stuff.)

Well this year I am kind of drawings a blank. The only thing I have found of interest is a KelTech CMR30. He already has two of the pistols so I thought this would be a good companion other than some bad reviews I have seen here and there. He has also talked to me about trying to find him a CZ-97B (he has good tastes) but I have been having a hard time putting my hands on one.

I would love to be able to get the 97B and get it Cajunized before Christmas but that is proving tough to do. Any other ideas that you guys can recommend for (unipue and fun) firearms or does anyone have a source on a CZ-97B?

Thanks

You can get the accurized 97B from the CGW site and it will come fully tuned. It might be pushing it to get it by Christmas, though.

If you call up CGW and they can't get you one by Christmas that's already customized, I heard there's a stock one at Bradis. Then you just have to find someone local to do the custom work. Alternatively, check with CZ Custom.

Get a 97B and have the Wizard do the work on it. He's every bit as good as CGW at installing the guts and polishing them up. Only thing you won't be able to have done if you go this route is the 1911 bushing mod that CGW does.

I was told that the pricing at this LGS has gone up. A lot.
I do not go in there anymore as to some issues we had but I have heard this from more than 1 person.

I have the CopperHead from CGW with the bushing and yes, it is deadly accurate.

That said the standard bushing in a well tune 97 is also pretty deadly accurate. I have owned both a couple of times.
Saying the 97 is one of the most accurate hand guns I now own is a terrible understatement.

How about the gift of training? Like a course at Thunder Ranch or one of the other major training facilities?

Here you go. Look around:
CZ 75 SP01 Shadow Custom BLACK 9mm Adjustable Rear Sight

I think tuition for GunSite is an awesome idea as well. They have on and offsite courses. $1800 you could schedule a pretty cool little mini vacation package.

A Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock! And you'll still have money left for all that other stuff.

Training would be awesome along with ammo and mags.

Prices have gone WAY up with inventory going way down. Plus the customer service has gone into the proverbial ****ter too. I was in there a week ago and will probably never go back. And this is from someone who has been shopping there since the mid 80's. I even bought a chain saw from them!

I agree on the training. That would be a nice alternative most any firearm owner would appreciate.

I'll just put this here.

I like the training idea but he would never go so that one is out the window.

Called one LGS that was mentioned earlier....anyone know of another LGS that has a CZ-97B that is not $100.00 over priced?

What are the regulations on buying a handgun in Tennessee? My brother is working down there and I am not sure they are down with the CZickness yet?

Get him a Pre-ban Norinco Type 56s/56s-1. Bet he doesn't have that.

Reloading press?

Nope...he has two of those already.

He would rather just buy cases already loaded than spend the time reloading.

Give him a STD, the gift that keeps on giving. Apply purple as needed.
