Seriously though I used to be of the don't sell unused firearms you'll regret it later school of thought; however my accountant of all people changed my mind and I have yet to feel a pang of regret...that being said I now have a lot of optics that aren't being used ...

You don't want to sell optics but you don't want them to go unused. Thats why you lend them out to your mates when they get their AR sorted out Your mate from apc lol.

Why on earth would you want a Norinco when the real CZs, from basic models all the way up to the Shadow Orange, are so easily available?

Cuz they're cheap and cuz I can. I'll probably get a real CZ too. Cuz I can.

Cuz I can, I find is a very good reason for alot of decisions!

That could be correct, or not.

I think the clue is in someone who doesn't even have a B endorsement already deciding what they are going to import.

If they were any good, there would be people importing them already.

I haven't seen many Norinco CZs used at Level III or IV IPSC matches in the last few years (although I'm happy to be proved wrong). There's probably a good reason for that.

Guess I better not buy a P38 or TT33 either then. Can't imagine they're too popular on the IPSC circuit.

Don't be offended @Beavis, it's just that most people without their B endorsement plan on buying Glocks and Deagles. Not, surprisingly well made, pistols like Norinco's that probably cost more to import than buying locally the pistol they're a copy of

Or just enjoy the sport of shooting, and don't care about the winning bit, or being at the top.

I have been at a reasonable top levels of a couple of sports, and now with shooting, I do it because I enjoy it. I find it a relaxing activity (strange as it seems with the strict safety etc...) and part of this is having a slightly different approach to the norm. Yes I have a competitive gun etc... but I also have some non competitive ones, and I enjoy shooting them probably more.

Each to their own. And I have nothing to prove - because I don't have to in shooting. Do some business with me, that's a different story.

*You are allowed up to 12 pistols on your B endorsement, who's to say I wont own anything competive

*Maybe I don't care about wanky grades and divisions and just want to shoot shit and have fun
