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

[T-DOGG]

Another off the chain night here at the estate, with wife out of town.

Some fishing in the AM, some edging and weed trimming, trip to the hardware store, grocery store, frozen pizza for dinner, cleaned the 15-22 that my daughter and I took to the range last weekend, now surfing INGO.

What's up with you fellas?

Completed a project this morning that required the mill. Napped. Hung some new pictures up. Resized 6.5CM brass and now installing primers. Sprinkle in some periodic looking at guns throughout the day.

I want a new gun, but I don't "need" a new gun. Today I've been thinking about 10mm again.

Hump day is over. Barb is about a mile from home coming back from the glass festival in Elwood. Two more days then some hard work on the farm to recharge.

Sig X-ten make you tingle at all? You'd have to shoot it better than I do.

may be a bit over budget but scratches several itches.

I wasn't nearly as industrious as you younger CZickos, but still enjoyed my day.
The insects were uncooperative for my macro-photography endeavors, but I still managed to put together a solid, level stage. The submenus are deeeeeep on this camera, but I'm bending it to my will !

That price would have to do a lot of scratching...

I liked the one I've fondled and it's on the list for plastic fantastic optics ready options along with the SW M&P and SA XDM-Elite.

1911 platform is the other side of the list, but not optics ready (* see below) and I don't know that I've shot a 1911 with a red dot before, how they look or how I even feel about that?


*Yes, mcapo, I know I have a mill.

It's about double the budget. I get really twitchy when handguns get close to the $1k mark.

This XDM is interesting in that it's in stock up here at SW and comes with the gear up package that includes a total of 6 mags. And it's optics ready.

$629 plus tax and I have a coupon and points that will get me $54 off that. I had an XDM in .40 years ago and liked it, except for a stiff mag release (maybe something else, can't remember?). High bore axis, stupid grip safety, yada yada yada.

I was with you on twitchy about $1k guns, but then you lost me with xdm.

 

[MindfulMan]

I shot the Deacon's Xdm, and it seemed solid to me.

Good evening CZ fans. Getting excited for the FGE!

 

[MindfulMan]

49 Days until the 2023 FGE !

On the list.

Pros
Suppressor height sights
Price

Cons
Trigger is very "meh"
Plastic optics plate, aftermarket needed

Another option is find a Tanfo Witness in 10. You know how to mill, and you know you can make it one sweet shooter.

To be honest, not 100% what I do like in 10mm, just know I don't like the XDM.

I need to shoot some 10mm's.

I think you could easily slick up the factory parts and move the trigger from “meh” to “ehh” or even better.
