The CZickness VI

[Birds Away]

I have to use sunglasses when I look at it.

That one should be on the CZ photo thread.

 

[bjenkins]

That sure is a purdy gun

Yep that is very purdy Scott!

Yup

I'd love to have one of those but worrying about scratches would probably drive me crazy.

To "Bling" for me but it is a very pretty piece.

I'd love to get a matte stainless, but that shiny one is awful purdy...

Heck, I still haven't decided if I want to carry the 85. It's just too pretty.

 

[churchmouse]

I feel the same way about the CopperHead.....I would really hate to scratch that one.

Guns are meant to be carried. Scratch happens.

I have "Scratchable" ones.

 

[wtburnette]

At least I don't have to worry about my CCO, since the finish is already fubar...

 

[Birds Away]

This is a great time if you like old CZs. They are popping up all over the place. With how the Beast, the 85 and the alloy Compact have turned out I might never buy another new gun.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I love the Beast.

I seriously doubt I will be ponying up for anything new again.
Paying that price and then putting hundreds into it just stopped making any sense as if it ever did.
Well at the time it did. Not anymore.

Yeah, now I buy old pieces of crap and give them new life. It is much more satisfying to me and I end up with a better gun.

This seems to be the right path.
Going to take a butt kicking anyway at re-sale as folks want to pay bottom money and always retort the gun has been modified and therefore looses value...

Yeah, I really hope to not be selling any but, it happens.

Yeah I know.
I want to stay pat with this hand.

 

[Birds Away]

I actually value some of these Cajunized surplus guns more than the new ones.

Man, I'm bummed. I really hope this Orlando shooting doesn't throw a monkey wrench in things like the Sandy Hook shooting did. I bought my first gun in April of 2013. I didn't start hitting the range until that November. I remember the cost of my gun was higher than it would normally have been and also that ammo was scarce and expensive for months after I started shooting. I think it was April or later before 9mm became more widely available and came back down in price. That was over a year after Sandy Hook.
