Happiness is a new CZ

I don't remember where it was at, CDNN maybe, but I was all set to buy a P-01 for a great price and it was only on green ones. I passed. I like it better than FDE, but not much.
 
Took my PCR to my local range yesterday. My shootin buddy, an old Marine, had to try it. He could hardly believe how easy double taps were (DA to SA, two rounds) and how easily he perforated the middle of the target. When I finally took it away from him after half a box of ammo, he was highly impressed. His Sig may be on the market soon.
 
A CZ PCR. A model 75D PCR. The PCR stands for Police Czech Republic.
I looked for one of these for a long time. I had read glowing reviews about their reliability, hand friendly grip and accuracy, all of which appear to be true.
I did not want a light rail but did want a compact aluminum framed DA / SA pistol for every day carry.
Finally found one online & a week later it was in my hot sweaty hands. (God bless the Gunshine state of Florida.)
Comes with two 15 rd magazines and some cleaning utensils. A couple of spring changes (to remove 14 or 16 lawyers from the pistol) and installing Tritium nite sights, I have an accurate easy shooting easily concealed pistol. I've had it almost two months now and have about 1000 rds downrange with NO malfunctions, hangups, problems. I have used 3 different brands of JHP ammo, three different cast lead bullet designs with my reduced power handloads, all with no problem. An interesting design of the PCR and other CZ DA / SA pistols is that after de-cocking, the hammer falls to a half-cock position making the first DA trigger pull much nicer. DA to SA transition is easy and double taps are almost instinctive.
Through the years past, with my EDC handguns, I have been through a full sized and three compact 1911s, one Browning Hi Power, two snubby revolvers (still have one) one Sig 229 and now the PCR.
Pleased with the new pistol, I am. Shoot it well, I do.
You do realize that CZ now owns the mother of all 1911s, Colt?
 
I've had this set almost 30years, got a bunch 9mm mags when they went cheap after the 2004 AWB "sunset."

Got the P 07 a couple weeks ago. Only shot once, 109 rds mixed ball/ hp flawlessly right out of the box. 18 rds in a package not much bigger and only 3 oz. more than my almost 30 y/o 6906. I might be carrying it next year if it can maintain 100% reliability for 500 rds. Joe
