What was I thinking!
« on: July 23, 2016, 12:37:52 PM »
I convinced myself late 2015 that .45 ACP needed to be my carry round.  Bought a Glock30s and have been putting weekly rounds through it and not shooting anything else.  My P07 was demoted to my daily car console gun and nightstand gun once I got home.  I keep a shooting log and noticed today that I had not shot the P07 since February.  Put my 30s in my IWB holster, put the P07 in the range bag and met my son earlier this morning at the indoor range where we are both members.  My 9mm handloads are SNS 147gr FP coated NLG over WSF.  After my first 5 shots I thought I had missed the target completely.  Pulled the target in and saw 5 holes within the 3" green/red center. Still like my 30s but have never been consistent with anything like my CZs.

If you shoot the CZ best I think I would relegate that back into the primary carry role. We know good shot placement is far more important in a defensive situation than caliber size. A 9 between the eyes beats a 45 past the ear every time.

Sound thinking and that's what I have done.  Cleaned the Glock and put it in the safe. Still amazes me how well CZs shoot.

Last year my wife decided that my P-07 Duty was her house gun. I still took it for range trips until she asked me why I was taking "her" gun to the range. Well, my G43 is being replaced under warranty and hasn't arrived yet so I've been carrying my CZ's again. I took the 07 to the range and it was like being reunited with an old friend. Like the op, I'd forgotten how good it was. Time to get a gen 2 so she can have "her" gun back.
