FK Brno 7.5mm at the BackUp Gun Match
Forgotten Weapons

5m 6s
The FK Brno is a take on the classic CZ75 pistol made in the Czech Republic. It was originally released as a boutique steel-framed gun, and then later as a much more affordable polymer-framed model. I have one of those polymer framed ones, with barrels for both 10mm Auto and the unique 7.5mm FK cartridge designed for this pistol. I decided to use the 7.5mm barrel for the BUG Match today, which is a 95gr bullet moving at 1800 fps. It should definitely knock down steel...if it can run long enough to get there.
Note that I am in "Big 5" division, for pistols too large to be considered "backup guns". The rules for this division dictate magazines loaded to only 5 rounds.

Primary Arms just recently announced their HTX-1 red dot, and it sounds pretty cool. From a technical perspective, it has a lot of good points - a clever adapter plate mounting system, two different reticles, and a fully enclosed emitter. However I think the more interesting (and less appreciated...
