My CZ-40B Project

[midlife]

Here is a slide show of my CZ-40B that I purchased at a gun auction (NIB). It is a 2000 model and had never been shot.
I have had the barrel jeweled.
Purchased a IWB holster from HBE Leatherworks and modified it to an OWB in a way that it can be turn back into a IWB if desired.
Cut a dead Cedar tree from my back yard and made a set of grips for her. After finishing the holster with the Conchos I liked them so much that I inlayed a matching Concho into the grip on the pistol.
I have taken her to the range once along with her sister (CZ-75B SS) and she shot outstanding with no flaws, can't say the same with the CZ-75B, but that is another story.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.....

Nice grips ... what kind of finish did you put on the wood?

[midlife]

I applied 15 coats of Formby's Tung Oil finish letting each coat dry for 24 hours and then sanding with Beaver No. 0000 steel wool.

Quite nice, sir! How does she shoot?

Thank you for the compliment.
I have only shot her once and she shot fantastic with no flaws, more than I can say for my CZ75B SS that I also shot for the first time the same day.
The 75B has the worst trigger action I have ever shot. It is really long, gritty and way to hard both single and double action. After all I had heard I was really surprised it could be that bad. I have no idea what to do myself and I really do not have the funds to have it done.
