Happiness is a new gun 2

[Barth]

Well, function checked the CZ 75 Compact with 50 Federal HST 124 +P, 50 Winchester Ranger T 147 (Plus ~20 HST 147) and 100 124/147 FMJs.
Gun ran flawless right out of the box!
Seems to group better with 124 gr ammo.
Very soft shooting with the steel frame.

It's another case of do as I say and not as I do.
I always say "shoot the stock gun before you start doing modifications".
Then I'll buy a gun and start buying third party stuff before even getting the gun

Put the SS CGW guide rod in the gun.
The CZ Custom OEM rubber grips didn't fit?
I think the PCR guns come with rubber grips.
And the aluminum frame is a little thicker than the steel.
Oh Well.
Also got CGW Short Reset Kit and Slide Stop.
Almost ordered their hammer kit.
But after shooting the stock gun I'm thinking I'll just leave it alone.
The DA is a bit heavy, but the single action is crisp and clean.
Should have waited.
And I knew better.

But the gun feels and shoots great!
I also really like the safety.
And am seriously thinking of carrying cocked and locked.
Very happy I got the - all steel classic DA/SA with safety CZ 75 Compact
Already got 6 Sig DA/SA aluminum framed de-cocker guns.
This CZ, cocked and locked, is kind of like an inexpensive 2019 Commander 9mm
Oh, It actually came with NS too!
Not the best, but they work.

Bottom Line:
Very impressed with this classic CZ handgun.
It's nice to get back to an all-steel, hammer fired gun from the plastic fantastic striker stuff so popular these days.

congrats on the CZ. The targets that came with mine showed they test fired it with 124 gr. S&B and mine runs good with it too.

If you Put the lighter hammer spring in (I think it’s the blue one) you’ll like the DA better. Then if you take some 1000 or 1200 grit sand paper and lightly smooth the flat surfaces on the hammer sear, the trigger bar, and the flats on the sides of the hammer and with the lighter hammer spring the single action will be slick as ice. I’ve reduced my CZ collection to only 3 now, a P-01, and 2 aluminum frame CZ clones that take CGW parts. One is a PCR clone and the other one like a Jericho 941 clone with an aluminum frame. One advantage of the safety version is it is much easier to work on.

Those CZ75 Compacts are really nice.
Both mine had the steel frames.
Both my sons were thrilled to get them for Christmas.

I've already bought a bunch of CGW parts for the gun.
It shoots great out of the box.
Was thinking I'd just leave it alone.
But I've read so much about how the trigger can be improved.
That after a night's sleep.
I just broke down and decided to go with all the Cajun Gun Works stuff.
So, fingers crossed, it comes back improved.

For now, you guys keep posting 1911 stuff.
I only have the one, but it's a blast to shoot
Took it out this morning for some more fun!
I'm running the VZ Tactical Slants Palm Swell grips for the range.
And keeping my "Bawanna BBQ Grips" pristine for Special Occasions

Close range, free hand, 24 rounds of 230 gr Sellier & Bellot FMJs

I did see a Para Ordnance LDA 45 on Gunsamerica.
The frame was green which made me think of a member here - LOL!
I thought about picking it up.
But had just ordered the CZ 75 Compact and let it go ...

My first pistol was Glock 17. It was fascinating moment of purchase. I was happy as a child.

The Glock 17 felt satisfyingly heavy in my hands, a cool metal counterpoint to the nervous excitement bubbling in my chest.

The drive to the shooting range was filled with a nervous anticipation. Would I handle it well? Would the recoil be too much? These questions danced in my head, but they were quickly overshadowed by pure exhilaration as I loaded the magazine. Each click was a tiny victory, a step closer to unleashing the power I held.

Leaving the range, a wide grin stretched across my face. The nervous energy had melted away, replaced by a deep sense of satisfaction.

The green finish on those doesn't hold up for beans. Officer at the PD had one and in no time it lookes like it'd been drug behind the truck. Para didn't want to do anything about it.

Wow, I'm glad I didn't jump
Thought I'd recalled you had one and liked it?

It's funny, I think I remember many of us, including yours truly, saying No More Guns this Year
What a joke!
We haven't even made it to summer, and I think I've bought at least three new handguns already
My name is Barth and I have a problem - LOL!

I have 3 LDA's and love them but they are all stainless. Actually the one is two tone, black and stainless, looks cool. That's the one my son got. Actually that's a bald faced lie to, my compact is stainless. The double stack P13 is blued. Just never had a green one myself.

Well you ain't lived if ya 'aint had a GREEN/BLACK one. The finish I used was DURACOAT, per Nate at Ahlman's, the DURACOAT holds up better than the CERACOAT.
