The CZickness XLI and on to what's next

[gmcttr]

I'm running adblock and usually don't have a problem posting a link or viewing them. However this is the second time in several months that the INGO system changes a hotlink to a media insert and since it's not, nothing shows. The system starting working again last time after a day or two.

Picked up a good deal on a 700 series Heiser, somewhere between 1907 and 1924 from the button. It works well with this Colt Scout even though it's probably 50 years older.

That bench has been as low as $240 according to camelcamelcamel.

Nice set. I love the "checkering" on the pistol grip.

Yeah, you have to really watch or use a 3rd party service as you mentioned to see what best pricing is even by some 3rd party sellers on Amazon. I bought a standing desk and it dropped $50 a bit after I bought it. I got reimbursed for the desk anyway through a couple of programs at my employer, but was also able to get $20 of the $50 difference refunded by the 3rd party seller. Amazon themselves have no price guarantee these days.

I may have to read up on the bench and check it out.

 

[Benp]

That seems like a good price for that bench, especially if it is sturdy.

I hope CM will allow this. If not, I'll take it to the Long Guns section.

Does anyone have experience with CZ shotguns? In general, are they as well regarded as CZ pistols and rifles? I'm looking at a 20 gauge auto-loader for a present for my sister and BIL, for black bear protection. Some crazy lady on their mountain in Carolina is feeding the bears, and they're hanging around more than is comfortable. I know bears have rights too, , but my sister would like to at least have some protection if they become aggressive.

I know the 12 gauge is probably betterer, but my sister is 100 pounds, so I'm thinking 20 gauge slugs for her. She carries a 38 spc revolver now, so any shotgun is an upgrade.

Thoughts?

No experience with the shotguns but have to say first thing they need to do is stop the lady feeding the bears. I'm sure the conservation officers look down on this behavior.

2 3/4" 20 ga slugs will certainly stop a bear at less than 100 yds. I'd be most concerned about fit to the shooter and reliability. Do not know a lick about CZ self defense shotguns. Did not even know they made them.
Self defense situation calls for 100% reliability. Inertia driven Benelli or an 870 would be my choices.

The shotguns are made in Turkey by Huglu, the last I checked. Huglu used to have plenty of quality control issues, but to my knowledge, that has been improved. For slugs, I'm not sure I see a point in 12ga other than "I don't own a 20." Most (all?) of the 12 gauge slugs I've seen have been 2-3/4" or 3", same as a 20. More weight for the same shell length - less range. With a modern 3" 20 gauge, I'd just plan on that for a slug gun.

I'm a lefty, so I run Ithacas for pump shotguns (no autoloaders for me... yet). New Ithacas have a 3" chamber for 12 and 20 gauge guns. I love them, though I'm no guru on shotgunning.

I was told from a friend who did some backpacking that bear spray is "more effective" than a gun. I imagine that's true for a 9mm, but a hard sell for me regarding proper ammunition.

 

[Leadeye]

Brown truck brought me a deal on ammo of all things today. 10 gauge 3.5 OO. I've taken a serious liking to this in an SBS shotgun.

 

[JEBland]

I got some goodies in as well. My P226 mk25 barrel and springs arrived. Then a lat USPS delivery with magazines from Greg Cote including for my CZ P-09.

They've been round and round with the crazy bear lady, who claims to have stopped, but the evidence indicates otherwise.

This summer marks my 25th year anniversary with my company. I need to do a project gun. My father got a pair of matching Rolex watches for him and my mother when he hit 25 years. Coincidentally, his watch is on my wrist right now. I need to put something special together for this milestone. Right now, I’m leaning towards a P226 all tarted up but a good 1911 would work too.

Whatever it is that I build, it needs to be something that one of my kids will be happy to carry some day just like I am happy wearing dad’s watch

Can't go wrong either way, IMHO.

Yes, super-special is warranted !

I made a new dog friend at the cabin! His name is Jack, and he belongs to a neighbor (who I haven’t met) up the road a piece.
I sent the photo to my caretaker, who filled me in on the facts about my newest visitor.

He was shy at first, then stuck to me like two coats of paint !

Hey fellas anything CZ or just gun related. I have stepped off.
You guys are posting up some seriously cool stuff in here. Carry on.

But I still hate G****s.

Two coons at 0100 this morning. One in the live trap and one coming back to check on him.
Happy Monday!
