THE CZickness XLIX....Tackling 2023 with CZ style...

[llh1956]

CZ!
Finally finished my project.
Not sure if I like the colors or not. I will probably decide to like them for a while, given my newfound respect for anyone who takes these apart and puts them back together for “fun”.

The main delay was discovering why we don’t use 7 year old Cerakote, and changing my mind on the colors couple times.

But it’s done, for now.

Good job DM!

Wee bit of cold this morning.. small hike. Some bison. Lunch in the truck to warm up. Then some backroad cruising to check out some more spots. Life is good.

The Victory is cleaned, lubed and back together. Ready for testing.

Getting chlorinated at Elkhart Swimming Sectionals. At least the smell isn’t too bad in this mega million dollar nanatorium.

Ouabache?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I need a couch nap after that. Dress shopping and lunch can be exhausting.

Are you familiar with Overland Bound?
Whether you buy into it or not, there’s a lot of good advice over there.

 

[RustyHornet]

Ouabache?

Yes sir. I can’t remember ever going. Been years for the Mrs. Kids have never been. Wanted to scout out some camp spots for the summer and introduce the kids to their 4 legged relatives…

I don’t think so. Here comes the Google.

Family is starting to arrive for the party tonight. Everyone is running around and the wife is not letting me help, so I'm sipping a bit of bourbon and watching. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

Steel frame compact. Ain't cheap but it ain't 2017....

This is a little cheaper and local (those of us in central IN can save shipping and transfer fees).

ummmm ... free shipping is listed, so you may save transfer fees, but that's up to the seller (Indiana Gun Club? based upon their GunBroker handle) ... you'll still get whacked for sales tax and the GB compliance fee.

Maybe hope this item doesn't sell and stop by IGC to pick it up from them directly ... save the 1% GB compliance fee for sure.

Steel frame.?

All the 75 compacts with a safety are steel frame. The decockers get into alloy frame with rare older steel frames.

They are generally easy to deal with In my experience. That exact pistol is listed as available in shop on their web page at $795 but I have found they will generally cancel their GB listing if no bids yet and sell at that price. They always have lots of GB listings (as of now they have 1100 items on GB). They were at the Tipton Gun Show today with lots of colors of CZs! A Chezchmate, blue SP-01 competition, P10F competition with the gold touches, an orange shadow and TS2.

Well my fellow CZ friends, I probably going to list my CGW SP-01 Tactical in the classifieds. It has less than 100 rounds thru and just sits in the safe. On CGW Site it sells for $1234.00 without night sights and this one has them. If you have a interest jut shoot me a PM. I would rather sell it to someone in the group.

Ahhhh. The good ol days…. Gotta say… not much like some fresh squeezed orange juice.

Hey @bcannon! I think someone is calling!

 

[Bennettjh]

Good evening, friends. CGW goodies arrived.

Per the conversation; I’d like to find a full size 75 with an alloy frame, but I don’t think it exists.

Pretty rough range visit.
For one, I sprayed my paint too thick- (farmer motto, if a littles good, more is better, and too much is almost just enough) - and I tend to use grease, so the slide was pretty sticky and had a lot of failures to feed until I liberally oiled it. I suspected that was coming as I had worked on removing some of the cerakote on the rails, was just hoping I had it. This can be fixed.

What I’m not sure can be fixed is the Eotech red dot. It would not adjust up enough to get me any closer than a foot low at 7 yards.
Got the 1st Eotech out that is on a p320 and it was shooting great until all of a sudden that dot went way up in the window. That dot won’t adjust at all.

Will be in touch with Eotech hopefully Monday.

The tl;dr, I’d advise avoiding the new Eotech dot for now.
