THE CZickness LII....Autumn or Fall? No matter...season is right for a CZ!

Is anyone else having trouble with "Shooting Illustrated"? The lastest copy arrived in the mail today and none of the links worked when I tapped on them.

Since I'm in InfoSec, I don't tap on the links, but I have struggled with the pinch to zoom function in magazines. I can understand it not working on the old magazines I got years ago, but it doesn't work on the new ones that come in the mail either. This is 2023 for crying out loud. Pinch to zoom works on my phone that's only about 4 years old. Magazines have been around for countless decades though, so plenty of time to get that working there.

Being their caretaker isn't an unworthy calling. Finding another worthy caretaker is the challenge. Have you considered asking the NRA museum if they'd be interested in making an offer?

Nothing I have would be that interesting to them, I'll just sell to the next guy down the line.

the carry gun trigger weight discussion is interesting. Lately if not a compact metal Cz, I’ve been carrying a p10m that has what feels like a 15 lb trigger dry firing, but when shooting it’s easy to shoot and has been accurate.

I definitely have things I don’t carry because of trigger and same for house guns I have in small safes for the wife. I don’t think it’s a weight thing just a feeling or opinion that this would lead to double taps when adrenaline is thrown into the equation, so they don’t make the carry or house gun cut

And here I was thinking you were reading the PDF copy that was emailed to you and you were having an actual issue.

I have to tilt my head up and look down my glasses bi focal area to get the pinch to zoom to work. Pretty fancy, and no touch screen required. I figured I should thank Steven Hawking for that invention.

I've always preferred a 4 - 6lb trigger for carry purposes. Anything much heavier and you could have accuracy issues and anything lighter could cause unintentional double taps. This is one of the reasons I prefer to carry a striker fired polymer gun. That and there's no safety to F with things if gets real.

Of course this is just my thoughts and what someone else likes or chooses is up to them. We all take responsibility for our own actions and decisions. I won't gainsay what someone else chooses to do as long as it's done with a reason in mind.

Right now, it's either my PCR or one of the P229s that I'm most comfortable with. The P229 seems like the best blend of everything right now. Decent SA trigger, smooth DA and it points well for me. My only real gripe about the PCR is the rear sight. I don't want to spend the money on the full set of sights just to get a night sight rear and don't want to give up my Night Fision front. Other than the rear site, the PCR is about as good as I could ask for in an EDC gun.

You need a P229!

Most of my handgun triggers are 3-4lbs. Carry guns are striker fired and in the 4-5lb range. Lightest pull on a handgun is my SW22 Victory with a Tandemkross trigger, it's 2lbs and it's lighter than what I like, but I've gotten use to it and being a 22 unintentional double taps isn't an issue.

Began working on machining a custom rear sight for the K12 from steel.

Still need to:
- cut notch
- cut rear serrations
- mill off sides to get width correct
- shape/contour sight for appearance
- cold blue

After that I will begin making a custom optic cover plate from aluminum.

I hope whomever ends up buying this gun appreciates my efforts.

The bourbon sampling at the auction is genius.

Keep adding fufu to the coffee until it doesn't taste like coffee of maybe hit a coffee shop and get a 6.00 coffee. They line up to buy that stuff and that baffles me.

If you know the recipes you don't need to go to Starbucks.
I don't drink coffee, but do enjoy Chia Latte teas. I recently saw the recipe for Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Chia Latte. A few changes, and it sounded pretty good to me. Remove the Pumpkin Spice, and it sounded pretty good.

About 10 years ago, a well-meaning neighbor gave me a $10 gift certificate to Starbucks. It's still sitting in a drawer !

I have won like a dozen Starbucks cards. I keep giving them away to friends.

I may have an extra set of tfx tfos laying around.I’ll look today. The pcr is my absolute favorite. I hate rails but somehow managed to pick up a p01 and not a pcr.

Good morning all! If your Cajunized CZ 75 carry gun trigger feels to light you can install the heavy firing pin block spring, heavier weight lifter arm spring and you could also put the stock trigger return spring back in. The three springs mentioned would not raise the DA break like changing to a heavier mainspring. If you decide to go above a 15 lbs. gold CGW mainspring you would need to go back to a stock firing pin return spring. Just play around with the springs to get the break weight in the ballpark that you would be comfortable with.

Been there done that...

Dude…. That rubs me the wrong way. We had that raffle to help out one of our own and to keep a momento of our friend in the group- not for us to profit from.

If you don’t want the gun, that’s quite all right, let me give you your ticket cost back and I’ll draw another name.

…but the raffle came with no ownership stipulations or required length of ownership periods, and it’s a free country, so you do you.
