Well, I WAS going to wait until Christmas...
« on: December 22, 2008, 07:05:53 PM »
...but my loving wife was having a very bad day. Christmas time is rough for her, too many memories of loved ones lost around this time of year, so it can be a time when she needs more love and support.
Santa Clause had made an early delivery.  Just for her.






She'd always liked my PO1, and wanted one just like it, and so a little help from Santa brought her a new P01, with something else brand new - the pink pearlike grips from CZ-USA. I buffed up a pair of brass grip screws I'd had for a while, and it was a winner. She ooh'd and ahhh'd over her new CZ pistol, and asked me to post pics here and everywhere.

I love you, honey.

Howdy Mrs. Armoredman,

I hope your thoughtful gift went a long way in improving your day maam.  I certainly think you found yourself a keeper - and your P-01 will serve you well too  ;D .

Merry Christmas to both of you, and have a great/safe holiday period.

P.S. I am a bit like an elephant at times, lol.  I am very slow on getting some things done, but I don't forget them either  ;) .  This will make more sense to hubby than you maam, but both of you will smile later.

What a super Christmas gift!  The P-01 is a wonderful handgun - I enjoy the heck out of mine.

Merry Christmas and very best wishes for the new year.

PS. Where do you get those flat, metal magazine bases?

Thank you all, we took it out briefly today, and it shoots very well indeed. The mags are the older style 14 rounders I collected a few years ago, I like them better than the plastic based ones.

Twoguns, being cryptic again.... ;D

Twoguns,

 Thank you very much for the Christmas wishes.  ;D   I will never forget the people who are or were important to me. It's hard to let the hurt of loosing a parent or loved one. I had alots of respect for my dad and I miss him. I miss my mother too. I don't miss what was wrong with either of them.


  I toasted to my mom on the 20th. I will toast to my dad on the 29th. Thanks again everyone.

Pretty grips. Did they feel slippery at all? Do they make checkered ones?

 Welcome Karen.Thank you. No they don't feel slipery at all. They feel like I am shooting with custom grips. I am not sure if they do make checkered grops like mine. The factory grips are checkered.

 They are plastic but they are not a cheap plastic. They are pearl like grips. My  gun does not cause my hand to sweat or slip out of my hand.

Karen, make sure you get one of the new CZ catalogs when they come out, there are a bunch of new choices in there.  8) And thanks for coming to CZF!

Even after Shot Show each year. The new catalogs usually take a while to come out.

She can probably just order them through CZ-USA.

1-800-955-4486

Also, I think that P01 pic (smaller) would make a great banner for this section.

May the CZ Shot Show be with you all. I like the banner. I am proud to own a 2075 Rami 9mm. I am also proud to show it off when I can. Thanks Kev for the advice I do appreciate it. She is a new member of the CZ E's family.  8)
