The following is a public service announcement.

There is still a great pistol and ammo deal out there waiting for you. If you have waited too long to arm up, or if you want one more, look at the excellent milsurp CZ-52 pistol and 7.62X25 Tokarev ammo.

You can get a CZ-52 for about $200 at any gun show or at many gun stores. You can also find them by googling around the internet. The ammo can be had for as low as 11 cents a bullet in any quantity you want. Extra mags are from $12 to $20 each.

The milsurp ammo is full metal jacket, firing an 85gr bullet at 1,600fps. These will go through car doors, kevlar helmets, kevlar vests etc like an icepick through butter. OTOH, they will also go through one bad guy and maybe hit a good guy behind him.

However, you can buy hollowpoints ("Wolf Gold" with brass shells) for about $19/50, or half the price of comparable 9mm JHPs. My test "Wolf Gold" JHP ammo expanded to .60 caliber, the same as my test 9mm JHPs.

So for $400, you could buy a CZ-52, 1,500 rounds of assorted ammo, and a few extra mags. OR, you could buy about 2/3s of a "brand name" pistol, and no ammo.

It's just a thought. This is a great bargain. The ammo is cheap and plentiful at all of the internet catalog sites. Don't wait, the libtards will soon slam the door on foreign gun and ammo imports, and the prices will go way up.

Another benefit of this pistol is that it is very accurate, with very fine sights. WIth this flat-shooting ammo, you can hit at 100 yards with ease. Downsides are brittle firing pins (buy a spare, and don't dry fire) and a decocking function that you should not trust. Just lower the SA hammer like a 1911. The safety works like a 1911, so if you are used to 1911s, it will be very easy to use the CZ-52

Once you have a significant portion of your "portfolio" in lead, DO consider silver or gold. It's comparatively hard to transport your "lead currency" if you need to skiddaddle.

Also consider freeze-dried foods, long term food storage, alternative energy, etc, as preservation of wealth.

Here's a good list of things to invest in, considering what the present "powers that be" have in store for us:

I’ve been saying for several years that land and lead will help you weather the coming storm better than anything.....

The value of lead has tripled in recent years. In fact, a strong lead portfolio will also protect your gold and silver stocks. So it’s a win-win.

yummmmm....lead.. (Homer Simpson)

The lead is hyped and is overvalued Bravado.

Consider the case of the rancher in Douglas AZ......dead. Shot on his own ranch. They even shot his dog.

Of what value is his lead?

[Atlas Sneezed]

in harsh economic times, when gold and silver are so desirable, ordinary, commoners like myself just can’t afford to buy precious metals.

Maybe this moron should realize that buying gold is only for those who have spare money they wish to save.

And that includes waiting to save extra money after you have stocked up on necessities like food an ammo.

This article isn’t about gold or silver, it’s about saving.
