Title: Just got a 40p in trade
Post by: wtburnette on July 18, 2015, 09:00:00 PM
Got this sexy CZ 40P, 50 rounds of plinking ammo and 25 rounds of SD ammo for an M&P 45c:

Took it to the range earlier and it shoots very nicely.  I'm very impressed with it and happy with the trade :)

Took it to the range again today and was very happy with it.  I didn't expect this, but the 40P has replaced the P-01 as my favorite gun and I'm also shooting it better than the P-01, even with the grittier trigger.  Probably helps that the sights on the 40P are MUCH better than the ones on the P-01 (stock sights on both).  Just ordered Mepro's for the P-01 though, so we'll see how it goes.

Here are some target images from my range trip:

Not too impressive, but nice for me.  7 - 8 yards, using federal aluminum cased ammo.  All of the groupings are slow fire, with the exception to the far right, which was rapid fire, 1 - 2 seconds between each shot.  Extremely impressed with how controllable the gun is, especially for a .40  8)

Nice! You'll always be able to buy another SW, but a clean 40P is getting rare. No one wants to sell.

The best looking handgun CZ made IMO.

I agree that it's a great looking, fine shooting gun!   8)

Wish the newer CZ's had sights as good as the 40P.  They're easily the best of the 5 CZ's I own.

great shooting!  the shooter has a huge impact on accuracy!  and the gun is a very good tool! which makes you look good and the makes the gun look good too!      ps:  the 40b slide is a great piece of machining / and putting on a great ergonomic grip is just icing on the cake.

respectfully,

I've never fired a 40B, but a guy I know has one and now I'm curious...  :P

Went to a shoot last month with my son.  6 steel plates at 25 yards, and I had trouble hitting them with my M&P.  I ran through 3 strings of 6 with my CZ and hit all 18 shots. 
At this point I have close to 1k rounds with my M&P, maybe it was just an off day. Still, I had only put 200 rounds through the CZ.
