I grew up in rural Indiana where shooting and hunting (mainly small game) were part of our day. I started out in the Army as an ammo bearer on an M60 team in the 82nd Airborne Division and eventually worked my way up to SGT/E-5 weapons squad leader before I ETS’d to attend college. I own a wide array of firearms, from a big flintlock/doglock horse pistol I bought from Middlesex Village to Pietta and Uberti cap-and-ball reproduction revolvers s to modern firearms. I don’t have a gun collection, exactly–it’s more of a shooter’s collection since the idea of owning a beautiful collectable piece behind glass is nice and all but at some point I’d be tempted to shoot the thing. I’m also into archery so if anyone wants to talk recurves and longbows and instinctive shooting, I’m there.
I’m a father and a grandfather–the grandfather part is new and weirds me out a little.
It was Twitter user “Tactical-Reviews.com” who advertised this forum to his followers, so here I am. Glad to be here. Nice to meet you.
Glad your here CZFAN! Welcome and thank you for your service!
Your handle leads me to think you have a CZ or 2 in your battery. What are you liking and shooting?
We have a early import (02) 75 and a P09 both in 40 and Cajunized. We would be happy with more, and are working on getting some Primary Machine or Custom shop slides and barrels in the meantime.
My favorite pistol of those I own is a CZ75B, which (in my view) has the best out-of-the-box trigger ever devised by man. It just melds to my hand and–most importantly–has never malfunctioned in all the rounds I’ve fired through it. I’m huge on reliability and rate reliability as the most important category when talking about EDC. The first pistol I gave my son when he turned 18 was a commie milsurp CZ52. So yeah, there’s kind of a pattern here, hence the ‘CZFAN’ monniker.
The TSO is a dreamboat. The guy who runs the outdoor range near where I live is a competitive shooter and he graciously allowed me to shoot his competition piece, a very finely tuned TSO. He loaded light competition loads for it. Holy cow but that pistol was a marvel to shoot. I’ve never fired a pistol so accurately in my life. I felt like Wild Bill Hickok with that thing. I just couldn’t miss.

I picked up mine and could barely put it down. It is still the most comfortable hand gun I have ever held.
