My new-to-me CZ-70

I've talked about it on some other forums so I'll leave out the gory details here.

I had a Dr. appt in the early AM yesterday so I decided to take the whole morning off and get down to the range. I needed to 1) Sight in a laser on my PF9 2) test out the chambers I polished on a IJ 22SUPERSHOT 3) Break in a brand new NEOS 3) test the function of my new-to-me CZ-70

I knew I'd be spending the majority of the time just running rounds through the NEOS so I only took the three mags I had for the CZ-70 pre-loaded.

Well, 24 perfect rounds of Fiocchi and I am duly impressed. 3 targets at 21". Took me 1 target to get the feel for the gun but all the rounds stayed on paper. After that I was plugging all rounds in the black. Wow. If I were to spend any quality time with this gun I could probably teach it to tear a ragged hole in the bull.

I only fired in SA. It has a ton of slack but draws decent enough after that is taken up even if it is pretty heavy. I don't know why people complain about the recoil. It was a lot lighter recoiling than a Makarov and downright pleasant compared to the PF9 which preceded it in my hands.

I officially like this gun. Now if only I can tame that abysmal DA trigger weight! If I can get the trigger weight down to "normal human" range and still be reliable, I will bling up the grips. I'm thinking "white pearl" or "imitation ivory."

What kind of coating did you use on that p-11? It's different.

It's a custom Duracoat color ("aged copper"/bronze) by Don Haney.

I love the good old Pistols. Nice.

I wish I could find a CZ-70 somewhere. I think SOG has them, but unfortunately they're not C&R.

I had to hunt to find that one. I got a pretty good deal on it considering the condition & extra mags.

No, the '70 is not C&R (more's the pitty) but the 50 is and it's nearly the same gun.

Century has both. Their '50 is $200 and is C&R. Their '70 is $150 so you'd have to pay FFL fees plus any dealer markup. Still, you might be able to get it from >=$200

PS,
I'm going shooting with a friend tomorrow morning at Vandalia Range and Armory, 10AM (when they open). I'll bring the '70 if you want. You supply the ammo, I'll supply the gun.
