Who's Got a CZ? The Guilty Pleasure

[GOG]

I sent my PCR slide to @Velzey and had him install a set of Dawson Precision night sights I got from Cajun Gun Works. And as usual he did a nice job.

The first two pics are the new sights and the third and fourth and the stock sights.
The new rear is much less angular and has a slightly lower profile, the tritium dots/vials are tiny and the front's a tad bigger as it should be. They have pretty good brightness.

Dang! That one looks good enough now to take to the Prom!

Yep, I lOVE my 1911s. I seriously like my CZ. 1911s for .45 CZ for 9mm. Makes perefct sense to me. LOL

CZ now owns Dan Wesson. So you can now get a nice 1911 in .45 from them too:

I had one of the early D.W. Commander Bobtails. It was by far my favorite 1911 ever and I've had some pretty good 1911's.

CZ owns Dan Wesson?!? Wow. Didn't know that. Obviously have to crawl out from under my rock once in a while. LOL

Does anyone else own one of these CZ 52s? I love mine, if just for the noise and recoil!

I do

Shoots a pretty quick round too.

 

[Pops1911]

Lovin' my CZ 75pcr 16+1 goodness.

Just picked up the P-10C today, those damn CZs keep on multiplying

 

[Pops1911]

OMG! It is true. I have been leaving my 2 CZs in a dark safe. Don't tell me they will make little CZs! Better yet, maybe they will have a litter. How will I feed a litter of CZs? Can't satisfy their parents as it is. LOL

 

[GOG]

You'll just have to start separating them at night.

 

[Pops1911]

LOL. Good idea

 

[Hun Shooter]

Just wanted to add that as an owner of a Loaded Champion and MC Operator I love Springfield Armory 1911s but their XDM is junk in comparison to the P-10C

 

[RingingEars]

I just bought a PCR from Black Sheep last month. Took it to the range to run a quick 100 rounds through it to see how she shot. Ended up putting 300 rounds through it and couldn't stop smiling. It's by far my favorite...

Welcome to the addiction my friend!

Nice collection. I really do prefer the CZ75's as far as aesthetics, function and fit. Mine are all Tanfoglio's 9mm and .41 AE in the CZ75 style. One day, I will find a CZ that I can't live without, probably when they make one in 10mm, other than the Dan Wesson's.

The 10mm is kind of rare.

I've been tempted getting a surplus Jericho/Tanfoglio but I decided not to do it because CZ parts don't fit and as soon as something breaks I knew I was going to be SOL (I had a bad experience with a BTA90). CZ's have excellent support for parts and upgrade options (Cajun Gun Works, CZ Custom etc)

That surplus BD Police I have was all rusty inside when I bought it. I am guessing it had a hard life as a duty weapon and was never disassembled in the past 18 years. I was able to find all the fire control parts new for cheap, including springs, sear, hammer, grips etc. Now it's like new or better because I polished all the parts.

For that reason it's worth paying a little more for a CZ over Tanfoglio

My TA90s and EAA Witness use the same parts and are easy to get, except for sights. My Dad was the Tanfoglio fan and I ended up owning a few of his. He never had problems getting parts and a competent gunsmith can find and fit aftermarket sights. Tanfoglio is still very big on the competition circuit.

When Tanfoglio started making copies of the CZ75, all of the parts were interchangeable. Tanfoglio went one way and CZ the other way and now are pretty much two different guns, except for styling. Both have good features, and Tanfoglio makes several different 10mm.

I really like your CZ-97B.
