Believe so. I'd have to look. Ive had it a couple years and it was old then, lol

Have you ran it much. The early ones were reported to have feed ramp issues.

The following message contains counterfeit . If you have a weak stomach, look away.

Can you say Sarsilmaz.





Hmmmmmm, these two look related...



This thing is a tank. It's beefy, the grip is a lot thinner than I expected. It shows that it's not up to CZ standards, there are tooling marks, its a little rough around the edges. The controls could have been finished a little nicer. The trigger is actually decent, DA is heavy but pretty smooth. SA is decent, it could use some lovin. Fit and finish over all are pretty good for the price point. It feels really good in the hand, loaded with a full mag she is hefty. I'm very happy so far, hard to beat 15 rds of soul killing 45 on tap. Gonna run her this weekend.

Would you say better then expected?Pic looks pretty nice!

That thing is a Tank Rusty.......

Congrats Rusty! I've always had a soft spot for a good CZ clone. That spot may be between my ears though, as I keep selling them at a loss. Looks like you bought yours right though. I can't wait to hear how she shoots.

Yes I would. I was skeptical, but when into this with an open mind. Reading all the rave reviews I figured it couldn't be all that bad, that helped push me over the edge to buy one sight un held. It points natural, sights are pretty nice. The slide release and safety could be a lot better, they look like they belong on a child's toy (ok I guess it is just a toy for me...) I'm very pleased though. Got a TLR-1 coming for it and it will be replacing my RO with 10 rd mag as my HD/bedside once it's run in and I'm confident with it.

The pic with the RAMI makes it look huge, here's a better comparison. Without getting calipers out and measuring. The grip is the same width as a 1911 with standard thickness grips and Pearce fingers. Slide is very close in thickness. Almost exactly the same length beaver tail to barrel.







After a wipe down and oil, racking the slide is butter smooth. I like it. Plastic grips leave a lot to be desired, but there are wood available, I'll order when I recoup a little bit.

Congrats, Rusty. Looks like a winner.

You guys are making me feel like I just won an academy award. When in reality, all I've done it brought home a heavy Turkish broad.

We're just happy you brought home a broad for a change.

It certainly is different. Still kind of reminds me of the DOGG.

I will be very interested in seeing your first impressions at the range. Have you priced magazines for it? Are there night sights available?

I actually ordered 2 spare mags from Greg Cote for $25 a piece. Got them last week. From what I read, night sights are available in Turkey, but for some reason have not been imported here yet. I'm going to use some glow in the dark nail polish for now (contrary to popular belief, I will have to make a visit to the store to pick some up). With the growing popularity of these, I am hoping the aftermarket jumps in at some point.

Cool, let us know how she shoots.

I wil be sure to keep it a secret. I'm sure it will shoot like crap. Quality is terrible. Way overpriced. 45 kicks too hard. Capacity is low. I would advise not buying one.
