Majic
"I think we have to excuse Alduro because he just learned of the CZ in the last few months. Either he's been asleep for almost 30 years or lived a sheltered life."
Actually I've been shooting for exactly 3 years. Before that I have to say that I was actually Anit-gun. Thats right folks....Second amendment ignorant. I was educated in a public school, during the Clinton Administration, went to college, during his second term...watched Waco with a lack of understanding....etc. Statements like what Majic has said above pretty much "confirm" the "good ol boy" mentality of shoot snobs that I have encountered when I decided maybe I was wrong and it was time to learn somthing new, after all, pointing out the ignorance of others is the best way to get them to see your point of view . This is not meant to be a flame. He actually has a point. I am too young to remember CZ....its been around longer than I have...I was turned on to CZ by 2 things. First, those who shoot the CZ and are enthusiastic have been nothing if not wonderfully open minded, and even put up with some wide eyed kid once in a while. Glock and Sig owners that I have spoken with have not been nearly so patient as to explain the finer points of the weapon. Secondly, the gun was affordable. I would go to the range and see stainless steel STIs with guys talking about how they dropped 2 grand etc...Yet a rookie such as myself was keeping pace with a 400 CZ. I am excited to learn of such a fantastic weapon however and don't readily hide my enthusiasm. There may be a new shooter out there who is thinking of getting somthing he can afford...I recommend the CZ Since shooting I have owned in the last 3 years.

I also have trained with and carry a Sig 226 or 229 dependant upon mission.
I have shot countless guns...the CZ is the ONLY gun that has consistantly shot AND felt good. The Sigs I have shot have never had a problem and are accurate, even as accurate as a CZ in many respects, however the CZ just felt right. As it happens I am getting rid of all my CZs due to restrictions in carry on duty and therefore off duty. Its not somthing I like to do...
Either way....good thread, I was wondering if others felt as I do about this great gun.
