This thread about lack of activity on the forums being one of the most active threads on the forums is starting to get weird.
Been thinking the same thing for a few weeks. But since I started it I was just keeping quiet.
I've got quite a few CZ pistols. The last two or three years I've been buying other brands and just can't make one of them shoot like a CZ, so maybe a small part of the blame is on me (for not buying more CZs that outshoot all those other pistols). If I'd continued buying CZs I'd have contributed more threads on new pistols with pictures. Somehow, I just don't see me being able to buy another CZ that outshoots the P07/P09 (even though I have several Compacts/P01s and a couple full sized metal framed CZs). I keep thinking maybe I need to just bite the bullet, get the P09 .40 milled for a red dot and use it for my daily/around the property carry. I'm about burnt out on the other brands vs. their on paper lack of performance.
Before you ask why the P09 .40 vs. the P07 .40 I conceal carry every day let me tell you it's a dirt/crud thing. Quite often I need to come in the house, field strip and clean the daily carry pistol due to the outside work I'm doing that puts dust, dirt, mud, rain, sweat, grass, sawdust, etc. all over my pistol/magazines. Sometimes I find I need to run in the house, wash up some, change clothes and run down the road to buy something to finish the job I'm working on outside. Having two carry pistols gets me out of the house and down the road without having to clean the one I was carrying outside.
I've not put a red dot on a single non-CZ pistol in the last 10 years. Four CZs. Nothing else. Been holding on to a couple red dots waiting to see what is worth the cost of the milling/back up sights/slide refinishing and the red dot. Pics when it happens (not soon, trying to get stuff straight after buying the new truck a couple months back.)
Reloading season (cooler temps in the shed) is about here, so more load development work on the 124 grain hollow points in 9MM and the 180 grain hollow points in .40 will re-start.
