THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[88E30M50]

Evening folks! My son is ferrying an airplane from Montana to Hyannis and stopped in Bloomington this evening, so we ran down to have dinner with him. I had a chance to sit in the cockpit for a bit. It's a neat old airplane.

On my work travels today I heard a radio ad for AE Ammo having a sale on Blazer Brass 9mm for $12.49/box. I had never heard of them before but that’s about the best price I’ve seen around. They were only a few minutes out the way on my route home so I stopped and picked up a few boxes. Neat little ammo store and fair prices, but no guns and no reloading stuff.

I saw a LGS, Atkinson’s (I think), around the corner. I stopped in there and handled a FN Reflex and 365X. Sadly, no CZs. Reviews and reading about Reflex peaked my interest. It’s a micro compact with an internal hammer design. Similar size to a 365. I had mixed feelings about it. Trigger is very decent for a Micro. Grip felt good. Nice sights. But the mag release was very stiff and the mag would not seat home unless smacked. Maybe the mag release and mag seating is better on others but that turned me off. The 365X was nice. Trigger was not as nice as the Reflex. I still have issues with my middle finger impeding the back side of the mag release when pressed, unless I adjust my grip. I need to try a 365 with WC grip module.

By the way was the Blazer Brass 124 grain or 115?

124. They didn’t have 115 gn Blazer Brass in stock. They had 115 gn Blazer aluminum case for a bit cheaper.

It's a Cessna 402 twin. His company flies both those and the new Tecnam P2022. The Tecnam is like a cargo box truck with wings, but it's got state of the art electronics. He much prefers the older 402s since they fly like a big sports car compared with the Tecnams. Passengers much prefer the Tecnams though.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info.

No problem. I’m curious, do you prefer 115 or 124 and why?

When I can buy 124 grain for the same price as 115, I'll opt for 124 grain. Generally carry 124 grain jhp for defense ammo, so closer to mimicking that. Not a big deal as I do shoot plenty of 115 as it's usually more common for low cost range ammo.

124 grain tends to cycle with a little more authority, but none of my guns really have any trouble with 115. Back when I was shooting Glocks, it seemed like the lower power 115 range ammo would bounce a little more brass off my head.

Also, CZs are supposedly optimized for 124 gr and I feel mine at least hot POA more with 124 gr vs 115 hr.

And if anyone on the Northside is interested, Academy Sports is suppose to have a soft opening on Monday with the grand opening weekend staring 8/25

I was trying to be the first responder, but my cat needed me.

By the time that I returned to the keyboard, WS and B2V had already given the perfect, eloquent responses !

I like ammo .... and it can be fun to photograph.
Most have probably seen this image, but the Underwood 'Brain Busters' ((I've temporarily forgot the real moniker) in .357 is hard to beat !

And a blueberry muffin.

Much better day today. Not 100% but better.

Anybody know why it is so hard to find replacement slide locks for CZ 75s?
