Does anybody out there own one of these?
I narrowed my search down to this gun, and was very excited when I got it in.
The Good - Solid. Feels sooo good. Looks awesome. It does shoot well (accurate).
The "Not so Good" - This gun comes with (2) magazines - a flush mount 10 round mag, and an "extended" 14 round mag. With 10 rounds in the 10 round mag, when you move it / shake it, it sounds like a pack of tic-tacs. Take one round out, and it's quiet. After talking to CZ-USA support, they said that this was normal for any gun of this size. Really??? Of my nine pistols, this is the only one to make any noise when shaken.
If this is CZ's stance, I will opt to carry it with 9 rounds in the mag, not 10. The guy on the phone actually asked me, "Do you think anybody else is really going to hear that?" I said YES - I WILL. It would drive me nuts before lunch time.
The "de-cocker" - It doesn't completely de-cock the pistol. It takes it from cocked to the half-cocked position. (I should've studied this more - I have a Beretta 92, and a 96 with de-cockers. When you de-cock a Beretta, it fully de-cocks the weapon, and then it is on safety. Same with my Walther PPK).
As you know, I paid a premium for this pistol, but I'm scratching my head now.
I am very pleased with the craftsmanship and accuracy of the pistol itself, just not so happy with the magazine, and a couple of the remarks from CZ-USA.
Anybody else have similar issues with this model??
Thanks! I'm new to THR, and thought I'd throw this out there.
