Why NOT milled checkering?

[SI VIS PACEM PARRABELLUM]

But vertical lines are 80s. Time for Cz to get to this century.

I think we've covered this base before. CZ is in this century with the P10 line. If anyone thinks they are going to undertake major changes in the metal framed lines you probably will be disappointed.

In principle I agree.  SF guns have in a marketing sense superceded DA/SA guns.  However, this is not a major change.  Glad to see CZC doing this work - just didn't make sense with folks putting beauty cuts in the frame and not checkering the straps.

At the 9:30 mark, the guy in the video states that the "barrel crowning pushed all of the carbon, muzzle blast forward and has a very compensated pistol feel while shooting".

Am i just out of the loop or is he talking nonsense?

I vote nonsense.

 In my opinion barrel crowning looks cool and "finished". It can also remove any manufacturing or user induced damage the the muzzle rifling and potentially reduce future occurrence. I'm not a firearms engineer or gunsmith....just an engineer and garage gunsmith so take my comments for exactly that.

The frame is thicker in the middle, if you try and wrap the checking around into the sides it cuts through.  Hence why its only done in the middle.

Not a major change? The frames are cast. . .I would think it a very major change.

“but its compact size and the reduced weight due to its forged alloy frame”.  Not cast.  Even so the lines feel machined, and cutting a set of horizontal lines in CnC shouldn’t be a big deal in 2020.

This thread has discussed both aluminum and steel frames, I was thinking steel at the moment. CZUB can't keep up with demand as is, I wouldn't expect them to add a step to production unless they absolutely had to.

[briang2ad]

True.  But my point of the thread was based on:

1.  ANR designs milling the frame at the rails for aesthetic reasons.
2.  Didn’t ever see anyone do the straps which have some functionality.

Thanks for pointing out that CZC does this.  Not sure why folks jumped into steel frames with no serrations.

The market is crazy.  Things that did not even have a demand are hot.  Ridiculous right now.  Heck there were new P01s going for under 5 bills not that long ago.
