Dleong,

Interesting grips, and interesting options at their website! How do you like them? The price is certainly decent!

Bill

Oh, and, killer picture... nice work!

wlchase,

Thank you, sir!

The Trausch grips fit my hands perfectly, and I have them on all of my 75Bs. The moulded checkering on the sides are "grippy" enough to ensure a solid grip with sweaty hands without being overly-aggressive, and the raised rear increases the contact area of the backstrap with the palm of the shooting hand, helping to spread the recoil impulse.

All in all, I find them to be exceedingly comfortable and practical grips (even more so than the CZ factory rubber grips, which are already darned good!). However, several of my shooting colleagues have commented that the Trausch grips felt funny in their hands, and they did not quite warm up to the wide rear.

For that reason, I would strongly advise against obtaining a set of these grips "sight unseen" until you have actually had an opportunity to try them out.

Trausch's website certainly has some interesting finish options for the CZ 75 grips, but I'll stick to Basic Black, thank you very much! :D

More fun with the new PowerShot S3 IS:





Both images of my CZ 100 above were taken with the S3 IS in the "manual" mode's "macro" setting. There was insufficient lighting for the autofocus mechanism to function correctly, so focusing was also done manually.

When there is sufficient lighting for the autofocus to work correctly, the results are pretty decent, as the following image demonstrates:



All images were taken with the S3 IS mounted on a tripod, with natural lighting from an adjacent window.

Those are some excellent pics Dleong. Almost looks like I could pick the pistol up off the screen.

Nice!

I gotta say, that 100 sure grows on a guy!

(Maybe I'll have to put off the 52 purchase! :lol : )

Howdy!

I'm not sure if y'all saw this one.  It's my recoated 40P with my CZ Bayonet!! (the color on the 40P is really more of a tan, called "Dark Earth".  It matches my "Desert Tactical" 75B)

armoredman:

That is "experimental" Czech Republic desert camo.  The design was apparently made for the Czech army during Desert Storm, but according to some camo experts, never went much beyond some early production and was not issued to the Czech troops.

The actual item that the 40P is resting on is a small duffel bag made of this material that I found over on Ebay.  Occasionally you'll find a hat or jacket made of this same camo, but it's pretty rare.

armoredman and wlchase,

Thank you for those kind comments. My reason for taking the picture was to show off the gorgeous grips by Omega. They are truly a work of art. :D
