Things that make you go "huh".

[Birds Away]

I was at a local gun show yesterday perusing the tables. I came up to a table and the dealer noticed my CZ t-shirt. He asked me if I was a "CZ guy" and I said that I am. He goes on to inform me that his EDC is a CZ Compact in .40 and how much he likes it. He pulls aside his shirt to show that he has it in an OWB on his right hip. I smiled and said that yes CZs are really fine guns. He tells me that the CZ Compact in .40 is quite valuable as it has been discontinued and I nodded and said yes for a compact in .40 you have to go with the P06, P07 or RAMI in .40. He then goes on to tell me about all of the feed problems he has with the gun and that he's lucky to shoot a couple of rounds without it misfeeding. I told him that although I have never had a Compact in .40 that I thought I had read on a CZ forum that there were fixes for these issues. He wrote down the forum address and I walked away. The question foremost in my mind was why in the world a person would carry a gun that he knows has feed issues, or any recurring issue for that matter? You might expect that from someone just getting into guns but a dealer at a gun show? I was dumbfounded.

It obviously shows CZ people aren't right in the head.

OUCH! Bazinga!

Carrying a gun that isn't reliable is definitely not the smartest move one can make.

This is why nothing is ever foolproof. There's always someone building a better fool.

You guys should hear what we CZ nuts think about Glock guys. It has been well documented that CZ has had trouble with both .40S&W and polymer frames, the worst being poly framed .40s. Early P-07s, Poly RAMIs and some .40 S&W steel framed guns are ones I would avoid. New ones from what I hear have been corrected and fixes for the older one (with the exception of the RAMI P which was discontinued) are available. Their 9mm pistols are some of the best in the world however.


Anyway I have never heard of anyone knowing a gun has issues and still carrying it.

Birds you are making the assumption that people selling guns at a gun show are by default knowledgeable about using guns for self defense. Gun owners come in every shape and size. There are gun owners and shooters, and no they are not always the same. I also know avid shooters or sportsman that do not agree with carrying a defensive sidearm.

Are you sure you don't know anyone who carries a 1911?

Guilty as charged. I guess I assumed if you carried it you would want it to work. Silly me.

Really? You just had to turn this into a 1911 bashing thread?

I definitely wouldn't carry a gun that I knew had issues. What's the point.

Who would expect a guy carrying a gun for self defense to know anything about it.........

The Cz is soooo accurate that w/o the occassional misfeed it wouldn't be a fair fight.

It's a metal framed gun, right? So it makes a decent club. Or you could throw it at somebody really, really hard.

Your name has been forwarded to Uhersky Brod.

I wouldn't have any plastic guns - not even ones which say Che Zet on them. God made the vz.82 and then he rested.

The man has a point.

That's odd. I don't have a CZ, and I had not heard of the aforementioned problems.
I do have a CZ clone though, and it's chambered in .40S&W. It is a steel framed, full-size IWI "Baby Eagle" and I've not had the first issue with feeding problems.

The only problem I have is keeping enough ammo to keep it fed.

You had me at "his EDC is a CZ Compact in .40 and how much he likes it", and then it got worse.
