Just like most of CZ's lineup, it had to be special ordered...only took a couple days though and I finally got to pick it up tonight.

 

DAMN...is all I can say! It fits my hand like a glove, which I can only say about a few guns including it's big brother, the 75b. My 75b was lonely until I brought this bad boy home. It is a huge pistol, weighing in at 2.5lbs made of an all steel frame. It feels like a REAL pistol should, you hold it and you think "wow, this is what I am talking about!" I will be looking forward to putting some rounds through it, hopefully this weekend.

 

Oh, and Hooter's was giving out 5 free wings per person tonight for "the recent good news" hahaha. Hell yeah! Free wings and Rutger's babes, can't beat it!

 

Some pictures included:

 

 

 

 

 

With it's little brother the 75b:

Congratulations! That's a damn nice gun!

Very nice blaster!

Thanks guys! I am really happy with it so far, will be even more happy once I shoot some holes inside holes with it!

 

Now, there is one issue...more so with the new holster I got. It actually fits perfect, but the possible issue is with the trigger.

 

I know for either IDPA or USPSA, or both, the holster must cover the trigger.

 

The pistol is cocked and locked in this picture (SA), although in DA the trigger can still be barely touched.

 

So....is this no good for matches?

 

Congrats, thats a sweet chunk of a pistola!

 

I'm thinking about getting a Shadow Custom from the CZ Custom shop. Its a bit of a chunk of change but its a damn fine gun with a super slick action.

Yea that's a no-go.

Just found out Bladetech and Highnoon make holsters for it..and all of them cover the trigger guard. Solved that quick!

Any of CZ's custom guns are friggin incredible. I'm trying to meet up with a guy off my CZ forum to let me shoot his custom 75b he got made for him. All of them can put a big dent in your wallet, but you said it right, and that is they are all worth it. Personally, I would only get one if I was seriously getting into match shooting...but if I had the money, I'd get one anyway and use it for matches that I shoot every now and then.

Congratulations on the new gun, Just picked up my CZ 75 TS this past weekend. They sure are nice guns.

Nice looking shooter and good pics! I shot a 9mm (don't remember the model), but it was a great shooter.

They are indeed. I have had an SP01 custom for about 4 or 5 years now but am looking to get a new Shadow custom to specifically shoot in production class since my pistol isn't legal for it. Prices have unfortunately gone up substantially since i bought my last one so long ago so i'm having a hard time getting off the fence on it.

Another forum member and I had a late-night range session tonight, and we were friggin ON! We were producing some nice groupings at 25yds. My 97b ran flawlessly through 100rds, reloads and factory ammo, and I can say I had a smile from ear to ear the whole time shooting it.

 

Here are some crappy cell phone pics of my targets:

 

25yds - first two 10rd mags using factory ammo

 

25yds - next two 10rd mags using reloads

 

7yds - one 10rd mag

 

I was happy, with my new pistol as well as the targets

Nice targets! Except.... those first two targets look like they have more than 10 holes in them...

Haha good eyes! I knew that...just typed it wrong!

Nice pistol! Now you should get with Hakan again and dress it up with some nice custom grips!

Congrats! ...and you're welcome! LOL!

Hahaha, yup, thank's to YankeeFan for letting me try out his 97 a couple weeks ago. Right after I put that first mag through it, I knew I wanted it!

 

njluger - I actually told Hakan in my last 'thank you for my 75b grips' email that I was planning to get a 97 and I would probably contact him in the next few months for grips for that too. To be honest, I am not even sure if he makes them for it but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I plan to, right now just saving money for .45 ammo haha.

Haha good eyes! I knew that...just typed it wrong!

 

Now you can get some of the NJGF targets to fine tune your shooting.

I'm seriously starting to regret getting the Arcus over the CZ. That's a nice looking pistol!

Hakan got back to me. He said that he tried doing 97b grips when he started his business but they didn't turn out as nice as he had hoped. Until he can borrow a 97b to do grip measurements and such, he won't make them.

 

Damnit.

Damn! I like CZ's. Now I want one. Get a legal holster and shoot that bad boy in Limited-10.
