In October of 2006, my boyfriend and I went to a local gun dealer to pick up a beretta cx4 Storm carbine in 9mm. While we were there, I looked up and saw this beautiful gun on the wall, and had to hold it. Now, being relatively new to shooting at the time, I know absolutely nothing about CZ and had never shot one. As soon as I held it in my hand, I knew I had to have it. Now, usually, I want to try out a gun before I buy one, but I just knew that it was the one for me. I put some cash down and thirty days later paid it off and took it to the range. We go shooting at least once a week, sometimes two or three times. I know that alot of people consider this gun to be a safe queen, but I don't believe in buying a gun just to look at. I gotta shoot it. Since I bought this gun, I have acquired a CZ 452 Ultra Lux .22 and just ordered a 40 P. I can hardly wait to get the 40 and take it to the range.
