It's kind of a rainy day today so I figured I'd take a run over to the GS to see if they had any of those new Ruger 1911's. Wasn't intending to buy one today because I want to wait to see if they come out with a parkerized version. Just more or less wanted to see how well there constructed .
While I was there a guy asked to see a CZ 75B in a 9mm. Now I've been gazing at them to on the net, and thought from all the reviews I've read about them that they must be a pretty damned fine pistol. I can't remember reading anything bad about them. So I let this guy handle it a while and I started to talk to him about it and the guy working there was chiming in from time to time on what he thought about them. His thoughts were also very positive. I took that with a grain of salt though. I asked the guy if he minded if I took a look at it and held it. He didn't mind a bit. So I'm turning this thing around in my hands looking at the sights, racking the slide and asked the guy who worked there if he had any snap caps for it so I could feel the trigger. I hate dry firing any pistol. He didn't but said go ahead you won't hurt it. So I did with his blessing.. I fired it in DOA and SA. Now I'm really interested in this pistol I'm lovin everything about this gun and it's only $480 out the door and it's brand new. So I hand the gun back to the guy who was looking at it first and started looking at other guns as if I really wasn't all that interested but in reality I'm dieing inside. The guy really likes the gun but hands it back to the guy at the counter to put back in the case. Now I'm going crazy inside so I ask the guy if he going to buy it? He says not today. I've already got my hand on the money in my pocket so I asked him again if he was sure and he said yes I'm sure. This is all I needed to hear I had $500 out on that counter before the guy ever got done saying I'm sure.. I wasn't going to give anyone else a chance who was listening to this conversation jump in there and buy it, it was the only one he had in that price range. Needless to say the other guy was shocked to say the least.
Gentilemen this CZ 75 B is one sweet pistol. I did not fire it while I was there because there was just to much oil on it for my liking and I wanted to clean it first and get familiar with it before I did. As soon as I got home I had that thing apart and was cleaning and relubing it. I can see why these pistols are used by so many PD's in Europe. These things apear to be built like a Rock, and also has that 1911 feel and balance to it. I have got to get out there and shoot this thing one day this week.
