Sometimes used may be a better choice after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kliegl 304 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Could well be, but that's his call, not mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koljec 37 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sometimes used may be a better choice after all. Point taken. I think I'd need to know the seller in order to buy used. Otherwise, even if the gun looks in good condition, I'd worry that I might have bought someone's manufacturer repair. And I might not have the benefit of the warranty -- like with S&W, the nifty warranty doesn't transfer with ownership. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, even if the gun looks in good condition, I'd worry that I might have bought someone's manufacturer repair. And I might not have the benefit of the warranty -- like with S&W, the nifty warranty doesn't transfer with ownership. Most of my guns have been bought used. And I've only had 2 bad ones. Well...it depands. If you bought a used police gun than chances are its more used on the outside then the inside. Most of the time these guns are fired for qualifications and maybe some range time. They will have more holster wear then parts wear. If you but a regular used gun that some Joe Shmoe traded in and it turns out to have problems you have a few options as well. 1) find out if the shop stands behind what thy sell. My shop does and they will take the gun back and refund you if it turn out they sold you a defective gun, even if its used. 2) If the warranty is out have the shop send it in. Most companies will fix it for free for the shop since shops buy in quantinty. This was the case with my Para Ordnance Warthog. It would not eject a live round if you wanted to clear the gun. Para does not transfer their warranties. However I had the shop send it in under their name and Para fixed it for free. 3) If all else fails trade it in on something else at the same or different shop.

Koljec 37 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the input. I ended up going with a make and model I hadn't initially considered: Bul Cherokee 9mm Fullsize The price was right, and I can't find a bad review. Magazines might be hard to find. Will give a report once I get it to the range. Edited January 7, 2011 by Koljec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arik 565 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Never even heard of that gun till just now. Looks like another copy of a CZ. Maybe CZ mags would fit. Looks like PO7 or PO1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rock 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 A+ on the BUL CHREOKEE 800rds not one problem.Very comfortable and accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koljec 37 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) A+ on the BUL CHREOKEE 800rds not one problem.Very comfortable and accurate. Glad to hear it. CDNN has them for $339 at the moment, $357 with shipping. Very hard to pass the deal up considering the great reviews the Cherokee gets. If anyone's interested, I placed the order with Seth. I think CDNN sells a smaller kit than other places -- only one magazine, not sure on cleaning kit, etc. It's definitely a CZ clone.

kdbutler 563 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Congrats on your choice. The BUL looks like a CZ clone for sure. I love the 75b I bought 2 years ago. ETA- I thought I had seen BUL handguns before! Academy Sporting Goods stores here were selling a polymer-framed, double-stack 1911 called the M-5 a couple years ago. Purists might hate 'em, but I have to admit having 13+1 rounds in .45 on a 1911 sounds sweet. Edited January 7, 2011 by Kevin in Texas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Koljec 37 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 GET THE STYER! :super: I like 'em, but they're relatively hard to come by, too. There was a decent-looking used one for a good price on Gunbroker, but it didn't include the lock keys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The Israelis don't fuck around. With guns, or anything. This should be good to go for you. +1 I have a Baby Eagle .45 and it is a beast! I have never heard anything about the pistol you ended up purchasing so I would say no news it good news right? As everyone mentioned Glock...I had a G19 and loved it until I got my Sig P226. I can tell you that even though it is a police trade in it shoots like a DREAM! I can almost lose sight alignment and/or sight picture and I will hit damn-near center mass on a man size target under 25 yards. I duracoated mine OD Green and put Hogue wrap around grips and have never looked back at Glock. oH, BTW a Sig P226 is SOOOO much more quiet then a G19 suppressed too. Respectfully, MCASSgt New River P.S. Get a muffler for that Bull will ya? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koljec 37 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I got the Cherokee to the range and it made it through 50 rounds of Federal and 50 rounds of Remington without problem. I need to work on my aim, though -- always aiming low. For those of you with Cherokees -- what sorts of magazines do you use? The Magnum Research ones are hard to come by -- I was wondering if there are any other compatible makes/models? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koljec 37 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Following-up: After some research and help from CDNN Sports, I found out that Magnum Research's Baby Eagle 15 round 9mm magazines are compatible. I ordered a couple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
