9mm Carry Recommendation
Reasons for not getting the 10mm -

1. The 10mm wouldn't be my hunting pistol. I have a scoped .41 Mag for any pistol hunting.
2. I have no reason to believe a 10mm would be more accurate than a 9mm in our monthly shooting competition at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 yards.
3. The purchase was for a cc weapon. No reason to believe a 10mm profile would have been smaller than a 9mm.
4. If someone breaks into my house and I hit them, twice, center-mass, their first question isn't going to be whether I used a 10mm or a 9mm on them. They are going to be asking for their momma.

Reasons for getting a 10mm -

1. To wave it around saying, "look at me".

If I was half as old as I am, I'm sure I would have bought it.

Forgot to mention. I went ahead and bought the Blade-Tech Total Eclipse Ambidextrous Holster. I changed the set-up to an FBI cant. The gun is very comfortable in the 4'oclock position when driving, etc.

I checked with one gun shop to see what it would cost to install an Apex trigger. I understood him to say $156 plus labor of $100. That is almost what I paid for the pistol. No chance I'll do that.

I fired the gun again today and the trigger pull didn't seem that bad. (Funny what a high replacement price will do.) I fired a ported M&P 9 Shield, with a better trigger right afterwards, but it didn't feel that much better to me.

I fired a 50 with five shot groups at 6 yards, with both weapons. Nothing special, but at least the heavier trigger pull of my gun didn't pull me out of the 10 ring. I'm a recreational shooter, so my requirement isn't as high as you serious guys.

No question, that guy is a rip-off artist of great magnitude.


All The Best ...

It is a great pistol.Although I carry a 1911,I keep a CZ in my bedside drawer.I have 2 + one is still for sale W/night sights.(shameless sales pitch but true).


I've had a CZ for years, love it.

My EDC is a HK P2000. Great pistol.
