The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

[mcapo]

I’d like to think so. The cz community has been one of the most supportive, welcoming, and knowledgeable groups I’ve ever been in. G***k people stay busy arguing amongst themselves trying to justify spending 4k on a $400 gun, meanwhile cz guys tend to just go “Woo cz!!!” every time someone posts one. It’s great.

$4k on $400 gun?

Pfft. Rookie numbers.

I hear you. As for holosun prices, carry optics run you roughly $300 last I saw, plus optic cut. Theoretically doable. I do know I will have it shipped off for trigger work at one point, I just want to make sure I train with a “bad” trigger before I go spoiling myself. (I’ve never considered da/sa triggers to be bad, they’re what I’m most accurate with, even da.) So mechanical upgrades are probably first. Then grips, more mags, train, get a light, train more, then get an optic.

Also concerning the optic, I’m not proficient with them. Hardly ever used them in my lifetime, really. It’s not too late to start, though. And yes, I am a youngin, I wasn’t even half way through high school before the pandemic hit if that tells you anything..

I’ll echo what Ditcherman said about red dots. I’ve tried several cheap dots ($100-150 price point) and they are junk. Each one got promptly returned. Unclear windows with parallax problems, dots were not crisp and threw light to edges of the window. You get what you pay for and in my opinion Holosun is the cheapest dot that has acceptable performance, especially for an EDC. I actually prefer Holosun to other comparable dots because their dot still looks crisp to me despite an astigmatism. I’ve stuck with Holosun just because I know it works for me. Which brings up another point: Everyone’s eyes are different and see dots differently. You need to try several brands and models out to see what works best for you. Get with some friends who have dots or some of the guys here and try different ones. You’re always welcome to shoot any of mine if you want to get together. Some stores even have display models of different dots that you can handle and look through. Find out what you like and save up for it.

I have tried a 507c which I did like. I also have astigmatism so that’s good to know. I was probably going to get it k/rmsc cut if/when I do, and go with an eps carry from Holosun most likely. Time will tell though.

I would also add the newer Sig Romeo Pro 1 red dots seem quite nice and direct mount to a CZ 75 slide nicely.

Stop by Range USA, they carry most red dots and have them in a display case. Ask and you can look through them.

The 507"c" will require a plate on your gun but, as you mention, an RMSc will direct mount.

Hey y'all, does INGO have a specific place for sort of breaking new? I ask because there were apparently threats made to a middle school in Greenwood, and was wanting to potentially make a post so people are aware. General Political Discussion is the only place I can think of to post it. I've also already submitted a tip to GWPD

Threat to Shoot Up a School in Indiana Tomorrow (Sept 16), Possibly in Greenwood

This is unverified, being on X (Twitter). The school mentioned is CPMS. Only match I found online for those initials was Clark-Pleasant Middle School in Greenwood.

Okay good, someone already posted it. I just saw the screenshots 20 minutes ago.

Makes you wonder what these kids are going through to end up like this. Sad times.

Unchecked mental health and being written off is one heck of a thing. While I'm at work I have those true crime docs on YouTube play in the background, and then I'll look up some of the case files when I get a free minute. And the paper trail/straight negligence is interesting to look back on. So many warning signs to begin with.

Can’t argue with that. If I hadn’t had a support system I’d likely be dead by now, to put it plainly. A lot of my issues could be traced back to times where I was neglected or left alone to my own devices, along with social media. The digital age and its lack of tactful integration/monitoring in my opinion has lead to much of our problems interpersonally. A lot of these kids don’t see the people around them as their peers anymore, it just doesn’t click with them. A lot of them don’t know how to reach out if they need help or are told not to, and they don’t know how to interact face to face. It’s pretty sad.

I remember when all we had to worry about was the Russian nuking us while at school. We were trained to duck and cover. I am sure we would have been fine had they attacked....I was at the very tail end of such events. By the time I had reached middle school, these drills had been re-named to "tornado drills".

Once MindfulMind was on the job, it didn't take long for the Russians to give up.

In my opinion the internet is to blame for near everything.

I mean that slightly in jest but just slightly.

We should start a boycott!!
Maybe an email blast?
Maybe start a web page?

I agree with you, just trying to use humor to express the futility of the net we’re caught in.
Where do we go from here? What’s next?
