THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[gmcttr]

Speaking of crash rates, mine is about 3 per hour today.





Didn't crash coming down this...



Also met a new friend.



On with the ride.

Been doing a lot of day drinking this week on PTO. Beautiful weather for it...

So boys and girls. For today's lesson we look at gun math. What do you get when you take a 45 acp 1911 and mash it up with a 9mm CZ75?

The CZ40B:

I'll bite, why is it pie day?

Because I bought pie for my team today.....do so @ once a month.

About 3.1 per 100,000 flight hours.

Don't know but I am a googlepert and the Osprey appears statistically similar. Sure isn't what the media would have us think?

For every 100,000 flight hours, the Osprey has had 3.2 mishaps involving loss of life or damage exceeding $2 million, Marine spokesman Capt. Ty Balzer said in an email. That compares with a rate of 2.98 per 100,000 flight hours for the CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters the Ospreys are replacing.

Marine from Spokane killed in military plane crash

SPOKANE — The mother of a Marine killed when a military aircraft crashed in Hawaii says her son joined the Marine Corps because he wanted to “do something bigger and better.” Michele Barron, of Spokane Valley told The Associated Press that Joshua Barron loved to fly, loved his job and was...

“The 10-year average mishap rate for MV-22′s is 3.16 per 100,000 flight hours,” Hernandez wrote on July 8. For comparison, that rate is lower than the AV-8 Harrier jet, variants of the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the F-35B fighter jet and the CH-53E Super Stallion. The 3.16 Osprey mishap rate is near the total Marine aviation platform average of 3.1 per 100,000 flight hours, the major wrote.

A follow-on investigation showed technical issues, not pilot error, as the cause of the crash.

Great info. Had to attend quite a few funerals, so it feels like there was way more incidents, but objectively, the numbers seem right.
Last week was the anniversary of the only guy I lost on an Osprey. The rest were friends or guys I knew. Still messed me up.

I must have missed the group invite.

 

[Born2vette]

Had a great day shooting with @indyblue and @ditcherman at Ditcherman‘s range. Great setup and really appreciated the invite.

Next time I’ll being burgers to grill and beer for when we are done!

 

[indyblue]

Yes, ditcherman deserves a big, thank you for the invite and hospitality, not to mention a chance to shoot some of his pistols (and born2vette’s cajunized cz).

Other than the occasional 30 mile an hour gusts, it was a picture perfect day for this outing.

Congrats on bringing one home

One fingered typing, pain starting to set in but worth it to fix the problem.

 

[Leadeye]

Rural renewal project complete, contractor did a good job. Druggies will have bring tents if they try to move back in, but I was told by the local grapevine that the last one is back in jail.

The CZ40B:

I thought this is what that combo yielded


But that looks damn cool, though admittedly I'll have to go do some reading on CZ40B to learn more.

Sup, peeps?

The 40B is an interesting project with colt which became a marketing debacle and resulted in a failed platform. It’s unfortunate as the gun feels great in the hand.

The DWX, to me, is a mash up of all kinds of guns - CZ75, 1911, 2011, P220 and a P320. I want one. Badly!

 

[mcapo]

Ending another night of baseball (no softball games tonight).

Might go fondle my new 40b and dream about the days when I used to shoot from time to time.

Definitely looks interesting and I want one as well. Not sure what these will actually go for once they are available in numbers.

Puts me very much in the mind of some of the Wilson Combat models.

Does anyone know if the DWX compact (without rail version) would work in existing CZ75 holsters? Sounds like it takes cz75 mags and grips.

What happened with the marketing on these?

 

[mcapo]

What happened with the marketing on these?

Short story is Colt took it to Washington retrofitted with a smart trigger.

Killed any chance the gun had. Colt backed out of the deal and the Colt Z 40 became the CZ 40B.

The incompetence of prior Colt management.

 

[drillsgt]

Not CZ but picked up this H&R (PSA) M16A1 retro. I had one of the Brownells retro ones and sold it to CM who sold it someone here, forgot who but I like this new version, seems well put together.

Tomorrow afternoon, Bachelor Week concludes.
It's been a good run !
