Mainly cause I have always liked having a thumb safety. I know it’s probably nit-picky, but hey, it’s what I’m comfortable with.

Nuthin wrong with that reason.

[davetex]

I was going to suggest the CZ, but I have no personal experience with it so I felt I couldn’t comment.

Me too!! I’ve heard so many good stories about the CZ’s and the ammo. But I’ve just never had the chance to shoot one.

[mylife]

I love the CZ75.
Here is the compact.

[umgud]

ditto on the CZ

100rnd Beta Drum mag; never jammed but it was too heavy & clumsy

That's what I thought. Just the weight seems prohibitive.

I have passed on 40rd mags because I thought they may be prone to jamming and went with the 30rd at the shot show across the river in VA. Now I'm thinking I should reconsider the 40rd mags before they get banned and if they are reliable.

[mylife]

I have the CZ, it’s the XD that I have not shot.

[mylife]

Dunno how AR 40 rounders do, but AK 40 rounders work fine.

[umgud]

[davetex]

One day we’ll fix that, I’ll shoot your CZ and you can shoot my XD!!

See, I’m a problem solver!!?? LOL

[Clint N. Suhks]

I really liked how the CZ 75 felt. Sold my full size Koonan to get the SCAR, they gave me $700 for it and I couldn’t say no, but I’m missing having one now. All I have are compacts so I may pull the trigger to get a larger one. CZ 75 may be the ticket.

[carriage_hill]

Bushy makes solid, reliable mags. Never had one jam.

[deoetdoctrinae]

Thanks for the info guys. I’ll certainly look into the CZ and XD. There are usually several private sellers that are regulars at our gun shows that are knowledgeable, honest, and not un-reasonable with their pricing. Hoping I can fill my need with a max outlay of $400 (less would be great). Should be do-able.

[mylife]

There ya go!

[mylife]

Really?
It is ergonomically perfect for me.

[mylife]

I am sure there are plenty of great options.

I would ask around and see if you can try before you buy.

[mylife]

Ooops, I misread you.
I thought you did not like the way it felt. LOL

I was like, Really?

[carriage_hill]

“...went with the 30rd at the shot show across the river in VA....”

Big ***DUH*** on my post #47; should have known you knew that, Clint. Sorry.

[mylife]

Both of those pistols are in the $400 ballpark

[mylife]

I apparently have ADD. ☺

[davetex]

Here’s a starting point for comparing prices.

[davetex]

I think I’ll get one of there for fun around the house.

The Mrs. hates flies!!

[mylife]

Oh yeah! I forgot.
Alfa6 showed me that!

[mylife]

That’s not what old man Welch was shooting when I was a kid! LOL

[davetex]

hehehe

Yep!!

[mylife]

I was just pickin blackberries LOL

[ebshumidors]

Anybody ever shoot a CZ82? I’m thinking of getting one on my CandR. The price is right and I already have have something in 9x18.

[smokingfrog]

Many years ago I did quite a bit of skeet shooting, but only tried trap once or twice. You really need to be into reloading if you’re going to do a lot of that stuff.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Does it work on bees and stink bugs?

[davetex]

MMM blackberries!!

[mylife]

Probably not stink bugs.

[mylife]

I am a big CZ82 fan.
Best darn pistol on the market for the price IMHO

[mylife]

I think 50 might like that "football bat" ☺

[Clint N. Suhks]

I can hit doves and ducks a whole lot better than I can those orange plates.

[mylife]

It’s all gone now, but I got a belly full back in them woods.

[davetex]

Yeah, that’s what a buddy at work told me. He told me stories of him and his brother reloading thousands of shells when they were kids on a shooting team.

[davetex]

Yes he would, I miss him around here.

Top 10 Most Popular IDPA Guns

[mylife]

I forgot about the S&W MP

[mylife]

Sometimes the interwebs just start eating into our time.

I have scaled way back.

[davetex]

That’s a very interesting list. Glock is by far the most popular weapon of choice. I’ve shot a Glock 19 and I liked it. The trigger is fantastic. Much different than the XD.

So I can see why it is the most used for IDPA.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Damm! Not one CZ.

Glocks galore though LOL!

I think I still want a CZ-75, I have enough Glocks ;o)

[davetex]

Yeah, me too. I just don’t have time anymore. Lately it’s been 55 - 60 hours a week at work, just fighting for our survival. Not making a ton of money, just trying to hold on to a job.

I do try to not miss your Gun Talk thread though. It makes my week!!!

[smokingfrog]

That and the availability of parts.

There are some improved triggers you can get for the XD.

[mylife]

Thanks to all who stopped by!

[mylife]

Yeah, but we should be glad that we are busy.

[davetex]

Sorry I didn’t get back to you last night. Had to punch out and get some shuteye. But yeah, I’ve heard some good things about the Powder River Triggers.

When I shot my friends Glock 19 I couldn’t believe how slick the trigger was. It gives you so much feed back, not like the XD at all. The XD trigger feels kind of like pushing a button, where the Glock is like shifting gears in a high end sports car.
