The Czickness LII….it is the grey time of year. Tungsten Grey that is…

Sorry. I asked my wife if I could get my weapon hard chromed and she is still laughing. I think that is no?

Guess you're going to have to settle for soft chrome.

I stumbled upon this unique CZ compact D (PCR?) on YT. Have y’all seen anything like this? I didn’t think CZ ever made a PCR style Compact D in stainless, but here it is.

Why do they not make stainless steel CZ pistols nowadays?

How much would that cost approximately?
Say a CZ SP01

Funny you say that. I had thought about hard chroming my sp01.

IIRC, all in, I think the finish alone was $500?? Two tone, small parts, etc.

I have no idea. I wish they would. Tanfoglio does. Sar even makes a stainless CZ 75 clone.

Well first trip with cheap 1911 was so so. Accuracy is great. Feel in hand is great. Hard to get through a mag. I suspect extractor needs bent a little. Will mess with it tomorrow during the day and hopefully hit range after work and it will work perfect

Good baseline to start from. That’s going to be a fun project. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I think you meant the extractor needs bent. But also check the ejector. I have a Citadel 9mm. Basically the same gun. Citadel and Rock Island are both made by Armscor, supposedly in the same factory and sold to different importers. In my gun the Wilson Combat mags sit just a tad higher than the factory mags and would contact the bottom of the ejector. I didn’t notice it until the tip of the ejector broke off and I started getting frequent stove pipes. I put a Ed Brown ejector in it and it’s happy now.

Don't tell Bcannon, but I prefer the Holosun that's on mine

Agreed, that thing shows the serious precision accuracy on the Shadow 2 compact
Nothing too new besides the usual Monday range trip where I shot that amazing Shadow 2 Compact. I got inspired by the forum so I ordered myself a kershaw leek over the weekend too.



No real updates on the HBI trigger, they have the new trigger machined and were waiting on the anodizing process right now. I'm excited to get it and put it in when its ready. Should solve all my problems but all this waiting makes one nervous. Though I have confidence in their customer support.

Morning folks! ️

I wish they would. Instead, they found that with the 'stainless' P01 several years back, that they could hard chrome a pistol, call it stainless and people would gobble them up and ask for more.

I assume it's cheaper to hard chrome a pistol than to just make one from stainless?

I don't mind some polished stainless on a gun, just not the entire thing. And certainly not the entire gun in hard chrome.

And possibly the wettest.
Morning all!
Recovering from cleaning a sump pit and replacing the pump yesterday.
And the first short session on the new cool rowing machine.
is next.

Aww, come on now. BBQ gun should be able to blind the competition at 50 paces on a sunny day.

I personally like a duo tone gun, stainless slide, and blued or black body. To me it looks classy.

Nice! I bought a rowing machine in 2023. Really like it...when I use it...easier on aging joints. 6000 meters and then a nap....lol

I need to start my day with a row...would be a good habit to develop.

I like them shiny, matte, dull, sweaty, pristine, dark, light, two tone, mono tone, BBQ'd up, duty rated and occasionally with a splash of color.

Storms woke me up at 3 am...been up since...no resleep in the schedule.

Reminds me of following a semi trailer with chrome mud flaps, at night. Nothing better than getting your own headlights back at you on the highway.

Morning CZ fans...

Storms woke me up at 3 am...been up since...no resleep in the schedule.

I woke up around 4 from the storm, then thankfully got resleep from 5 or so until 7:30.
