Anyone shot a CZ?

[spareparts]

thanks for the info, I'm looking at a 9 for punching holes in paper, I've got all the other needs taken care of thanks to Colt(& WIlson), and Springfield. I have a Hi Power that I enjoy shooting at the range, its in great shape, and I'd like to keep it that way( have you seen what a high power is selling for now?!!!!), I'd like to have soemthing that I can run a lot of ammo thru on a regular basis( the range is less that 3 miles form my house). I've seen the CZ being used more and more in the limited and production catagory in compitition( advertising and sponsership works), I know they are far from stock even in these classes, but they seem to be right there with every other major manufacture in the end. I looked at their new model (SP-01) and liked it, but I was not too crazy about the look of the finish, its done nicely, just a little heavy( nothing looks better than deep blueing)> I also looked at the armorlight AR-24(CZ copy), it looks about the same, both being priced about the same. It seems like everything out there is priced between$525-$650. I've shot a SIg, not doubting their quality, I just didn't like the feel. I'm not looking for a primary weapon, just looking for decent quality guns to run some ammo thru. Any other suggestions are appreciated

The S&W 910 is a very good value for the money.
I have their 4013TSW in .40 cal and is very solid.

If you only want it for "running ammo thru" why don't you use a .22?

Cheep to shoot but you still have to use good form to hit your target. The handgun that I shoot the most rounds out of is my Ruger Mark III.

I have an Italian made Beretta 92F 9mm that is a really sweet shooting gun. I have never had any problem with it and I have run 1000's of rounds though it since 1988.

The Glock .40 I carry @ work took some getting use to, but I like it now. The best part about it is not the shooting, but its light weight when carrying it 12 hours a day.

Most of my department switched to Sig's last year. During my 2 day firearms in-service training week before last, the armorer had to come out and fix two of them, the take down lever breaks during shooting. It will still shoot, but the free swinging lever would cause the gun to get stuck in the holster. The range officers said they have had several others break so far.

And the guy next to me had at least 10 misfires, I had none.

Not very good for building confidence with the new gun/holster combo. I'm glad I stayed with the Glock.

allready have a 22, got Ruger MKIII, got it too hot the other day from shooting and the rear sight fell out of the dovetail, took it home and steaked it in place, gun never missed a beat, kept on shooting, I emptied a box of 550 that day.

i did see a Smith 910 for a reasonable price, but it was in 40, I would prefer teh 40 over 9 if it was gong to be for defensive purposes, but I want one for targets( the paper kind), you cant beat 9mm ammo price for a center fire.

I have been lookig at the 92 also, just haven't found one in the right price, people are asking "new" prices for used ones

I have run across a couple of deals, just not what I'm looking for at this time. I found a Dan Wesson 357 with three barrels, all the tools in pretty good shape for $750 asking( I think he might take $600), and found a Colt Trooper II in great shpe for $425. I've got to limit myself, or my shooting habbit will eat into my boat habbit

Only look for an Italian made Beretta made in the 80's, the US made ones are POS from that time. I have a 98ish 96F that is US and works good, but it is not as nice as the Italian one.

Spare - When I got my Mark III I went to sight it in and it was shooting all over the paper at 50'. I was thinking that I just suck at shooting and the problem was me. Later that night I was cleaning the gun on my workbench and touched the front sight and it moved about 1/8". I put some locktight on the screw (after cleaning the threads) and went back to the range. Shoots like a dream now.
