Thanks y'all, it's been a trip!
« on: March 09, 2020, 08:46:04 AM »
This past Saturday I sold my last CZ. I've been an avid collector of CZ pistols for over a decade, but circumstances changed as I have gotten into my 70's.

From my very first CZ, a CZ 52, I started a personal challenge. The challenge was to acquire at least one CZ in every caliber that they have ever made. It took years, but I did it! From a.22 Kadet all the way to the 97B in .45 acp. I got them all...now they've all been passed on to others who will enjoy them. They were all shooters and I hope all of the new owners use them for their intended purpose!

With the sale of my polished stainless 75B with a fitted Kadet kit and a ton of accessories my journey has come to an end.

Thank y'all for your support and insight over the years.

Otto

   Sure hope you'll be sticking around the forum !  History like that can still be inspirational to newcomers. I'm right up there with you, and all the carrots in the world aren't helping my grouping anymore !

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

Otto, sorry to read that circumstances changed but  I commend you on 2 things:
 - setting a collection goal and achieving it
 - making the tough decision to sell-off*

*something many need to do as they get up in years and not leave it for family to deal with...IMHO

I hope this isn't going to keep you off of the Forum though
Just 'cause you don't own one, doesn't mean you're not a CZ Fan !

You haven't sold your 1911-2011  Commemorative 1911, with the Inlaid Dimes have you ?
