No affiliation.  Heard about this on the radio today.  Saturday, July28, 2018, 10 am - 4 pm.  10% off all CZ firearms in-stock or ordered.  Not sure if prices are good or not - never been there.

Wow!

When I went to their grand opening years ago they had ZERO (0) CZs and hadn't heard of them.

They technically are my closest LGS/range, but I prefer FAF.

They are the only indoor range in Houston which has a range for shotguns.  Their members-only lounge has a cappuccino bar. Think expensive!

Too bad I have to go out-of-town today as it might be interesting to see what they have to offer.

Where I'm going though is near a small-town gun show at a venue that I've never been to before.

Those are usually where I can find the C&R CZs.

Show in Pasadena this weekend.  Usually a lot of CZ choices there.

They could have made a sale today.  Rude sales staff that ignored me for 10 minutes. 4 sales guys standing around BSing with each other and then looked offended when I asked for help. Guess I don't look like "their kind of people", too bad they lost a sale on a Tactical Sport Orange. 

Maybe I'll drive out to Pasadena tomorrow.

I might have to go by there after work some day and let them know that they missed out on making a sale.

I had similar issues when I went there on their grand opening. Perhaps they're judging by appearance since I do not show outward signs of opulence--especially when I go to gun shows or shopping in LGS's.

BTW... the wife and I went to a small gun show in Kerrville, Texas.  We were in that neck of the woods.  I saw a few CZ's there: six factory new pistols (none that I didn't already have), one refinished CZ82 in 9mm Mak, two CZ-452's in .22 LR and one CZ 550 in .458 Lott.


It would have nice to add that safari gun to my collection, but I don't know where I would go to shoot it (other than Libby, Montana).

I checked on the .458 Lott ammo...ranges from $5.50-$7.00 per round on Midway USA.

I guess blue jeans, a rather loud Columbia Omni-shade fishing shirt, Tiburon reels hat, and deck shoes isn't the right look. Could also be a balding redhead with a short pure white beard doesn't scream MONEY to the sales staff. My wife always says I tend to look like a Parrot Head that's still half on a bender or a guy that got lost looking for a tackle shop. That could well be true, when I walk into a tackle shop or boat place I seem to always attract a bunch of sales people.
