My wife got it 4 days after I did.Hate to hear about the Covid , glad you are feeling much better. Some good shooting with the CZs! I've not shot any of my 9mms in a while. My SIG P226 and Glock 34 are my best shooting 9mms.
My wife got it 4 days after I did.
The the good news is that she started smiling at me again Sunday & by Monday she really improved.
We had both our birthdays the last 2 Sundays which was the wife's worst birthday in 50 yrs, since she tested positive for Covid the day before!
The CZs do put a smile on my face & I'm glad I've held onto both of them.
I've not had the Glock 34 or a Sig 226.
If you have any range pics, post them for fun!
50 yds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great to hear your wife felt so much better from Sunday to Monday! I tested positive last January and just felt totally drained like I was running on 10% power.
Those CZs look great , really like the Shadow with the SA trigger. I would definitely hold onto to them! I need to take out my P226 , shot this last March shortly after buying the P226. Even though the group is right a little still the best target I have shot at 50 yards with a 9mm. Not shown in the picture is the optics slide with Romeo 1 Pro.

No beauty pictures of the guns propped on the shooting bags? This is a travestyHad a blast today shooting 4 of Zachcz's pistols.
Two were the Palmetto Dagger, that I've shot before, but with a new front sight
&
a Glock 43, which it has been years sent I've owned one.
On the top row, the Dagger continues to shoot well.
If I spent more time with it, I'd get all rounds in the red 1.75" x 2.75", but I didn't want to use much of my 9mm supply up.
In the middle, the Glock 43 shot fine for 1st rounds & with more targets, I could do better.
On the bottom left, the Taurus GX4 green slide with the black slide on the bottom right.
I recently bought the green slide from Zachcz, just b/c I like green, haha!
I'll sell the GX4 with black slide after having my fun comparing both.

How could I forget my love of posting the guns I'm shooting?!No beauty pictures of the guns propped on the shooting bags? This is a travesty
Came close to buying a G43 not long after they came out but ended up with a Smith Shield instead. Since that time I have added a P365X and Glock 43X MOS. Both now have identical Holosun sights and I plan to have an accuracy shoot off between them once I get around to loading up some 9mm.Had a blast today shooting 4 of Zachcz's pistols.

No wonder it seemed easier to shoot than I remember!You shot my 43x yesterday at range. Not a 43
Aeammo in greenwood is a site supporter here. They are selling 1k rounds of Norma 9mm for 250. May be worth checking out. I’ve had a lot of problems with Herters 22 and with a super small sample size of one box in 9mm but had some problems with it as well. Don’t recall exactly what it was but was enough for me to swear off the brand and haven’t used since.Only thirty days to go, no more Fishers to the southside for me soon. So, I will miss Parabellums range and lunch special 12-2 weekdays with a free target for only $8.
I have also been to Range USA in Carmel, on Thursdays and its $15 a session., bring your own or buy targets.
But their yearly shooting records update fee turns me off, and the range ammo like everywhere else it seems is outrageous. The best I could do is stop at the Avon Rural King and see if they had any reasonably priced ammunition.
So, since I will soon be joining the "doddg club" with SS, Military, and Federal pension. money only coming in to support my habit, I needed to find less expensive 9 and .40.
The "Boss" at home says go shoot once a month, not twice a month like your pre Covid years.
Hmm what to do?!?
Well, some have said, Indy Arms was a good place to go, so on Friday I packed up a Glock-26 Lonewolf 9mm hybrid, I got from a fine FT Wayne member here, and headed down I-69 and Binford Blvd to check them out.
Not a bad range, $10 M-F 10-2, special, nice!
Ammunition I saw was $31 a box of 9mm, so I will have to shop around or buy in bulk when I can find it sub $20 a box.
Recoilgunworks has some ammo specials going on, and Free Shipping to old Veterans like me.
I got two boxes delivered in two days of Federal 115 gr JHP (9BP) at $22 ea. (+) tax.
Anyway, on to the show, I took a box of Herters 115 gr 9mm in and the range was well lit and nice, placed my target out to 20 feet, and started to blast away.
Doing 10 rd strings I quickly noticed A I had one fail to extract jam, and that my Ameriglo Bold rear sight was about to fall off the slide.
I had gotten them in October during the GSSF match at the Atlanta Conservation club. The installer said my dovetail was a bit big, and put in a shim, but that he did not have any blue Loctite to use.
Well, I squeezed the sight back on straight, ad finished the box, but had another failure to extract.
I think it was ammo related, as it has never hiccupped before.
Ten minutes left and an x tra target I brought along, I then got out my trusty old Gen3 Glock-22 .40 service weapon and put three magazines of Winchester 165 gr FMJ.40 downrange during the time I had left, with no issues whatsoever.
My only other issue at Indy Arms was no table to hold your range bag and stuff while you shoot. I could and did hang up my heavy winter coat.
Back home, I cleaned both pistols of course and re centered the Ameriglo Bold rear sight on its shim in the rear sight dovetail.
I have one more box of the Herters 9mm FMJ, and since February is next week, I will return with the Hybrid, a couple different magazines, and see if I have any jams and if the rear sight stays on.
Maybe my Gen 2 G-23 wants to go too ?!?
Stay tuned...................us retired folks may show up at a range near you once a month!
You may wanna check out grayfox munitions. They are in southeast side and very reasonable prices on their factory reloadsThanks, I can only afford to shoot 100 rds once a month!
Those $7.49 a box of Remington 9mm back in the pre covid years, when they still sold it Wal-Mart days are long gone.
I hope blue loctite , holds the rear sight on now.

Tighten the dovetail. If the rear sight is within tolerance you have a couple of options. Be cautious however, I have experienced a bad Trueglo front sight that was not manufactured to spec. You don't want to tighten a dovetail on a sight that is undersized.Thanks, I can only afford to shoot 100 rds once a month!

They don't do any business out of a storefront if I'm not mistaken. They only do online sales and ship. Is that right?Thank you, as I mentioned earlier, I got some Federal 9mm 9BP 115 gr JHP for $22.99 a box (brass cased) (+) tax, from Recoilgunworks in Salem IN.
As a Veteran shipping was free. Took only two days to Fishers.
Not the best JHP out there, but reasonable. I have used a lot of it back in the day and it was pretty accurate.
Currently I see Blazer brass 115 or 224 9mm for $11.99 a box on their website.
