I felt like shooting some .45 ACP today, so I packed up my CZ 97B and my Springfield Armory 1911 this morning in my little range bag. I also brought my P-365 in a really small bag, just because.
I got a "Winchester White Box" ammo box out of the trash, put it on the berm (40/45 yards away from the picnic type table under the awning) in one of the long pistol pits. I sat on the picnic table bench and banged away at it.
I bounced it around OK with the SA,
but really knocked it around with the CZ.
I like my old SA 1911, and it has been a good pistol, one I have had a very long time, but the CZ 97B out shoots it and I shoot the CZ 97B a lot better. A THR member walked me through installing the Competition Hammer in the CZ and it is sweet. No creep, a crisp, very predictable let off, and light but not too light.
Another nice thing about the CZ 97B is it dumps brass right next to you so it is easy to pick up.
After shooting up the .45 ammo I got the P-365 out and loaded it with ten rounds of my 124 Gr plinker load. I used 1X reading glasses to shoot the SA & the CZ (1X doesn't clear up the fuzzy sights completely, but helps), but I did not use glasses to shoot the P-365. I hit close enough to move the box (Splatter dirt against it) three times, actually hit it once (Saw white fly up), and never missed by more than a foot. At that distance with no glasses and a 3.1 inch barrel I'll take it. (I love this P-365)
