Like Goldilocks and the 3 bears...
« on: March 21, 2018, 07:32:01 AM »
Last Sunday I took 4 of my 5 brothers to the range to let them try a select few of my CZ's:  Bren, Shadow 2, Phantom and 75B Omega Convertible.

One brother, my youngest was already afflicted with CZ, bringing his 97B and his 75B Omega.

The comments from the other 3 brothers after shooting all of them was kind of like Goldilocks and the 3 bears...each of them thought that the 97B and Shadow 2 were "too heavy" and the Phantom "too light", but the 75B's were "just right--not just in heft but in accuracy".

I can see why the 75 has become legend--it is the optimal handgun for all shooters. 

Of course, I prefer my Shadow 2, Phantom and 97BE over all of my other CZ handguns, but then I started out with my P09 and developed greater arm and grip strength through exercise and practice.  Someday I hope to have grip strength akin to Jerry Miculek whose has been compared to that of a silverback gorilla.  He's coming to Texas in April and I hope to meet him then and get to shake his hand.

Interesting observation on preferences...wonder how a P-01 would have fared!

Would love to meet Jerry Miculek and shake his hand..and hope some of his alien skills rub off on me. The way I?ve  heard his surname pronounced, it sounds like it?s Czech (Mi?ulek)?

I "czeched" with my mother who went to school with Jerry's mother (they talk often on the phone) and found that his mother's maiden name is also Czech.

Both of Jerry's parents are of Czech descent.
