More P-07 Duty Pics!

Some nice fotos from a CZforum member.
(click them for larger size)





They have been added to my Duty page on the CZ-Zone, but I thought you Blog
types would like to see them here.



I'll have to find a Duty to fondle at a local shop.
I'm sure that Nancy will be my side, and want to play with the
polymer wonder-nine, too.




She likes her limited edition Talo G19, so she just might latch onto a Duty.
In any event. This year will be interesting for CZ sales.

Safe Shooting,

KEV

CZ P-07 DUTYs in .40 out in 2010!

Word from CZ-USA is:

Look for the .40 S&W version of the new but steady selling P-07 Duty, to be out in 2010!


This will be good news for those wanting to buy a Duty now, but wish it in .40 caliber.

New CZ-USA Blog

Jason at CZ-USA now has a BLOG.

News of CZ products and other information, including coverage of the
recent NRA Convention in Pheonix.

Oh, How Sweet It Is! PCR IN ACTION!

We took a break and caught some welcome sun rays on Saturday.




As expected. Nancy's new PCR ran perfectly with the FTX-9MM and other ammo including Blazer.



Brass was in the cool crisp air as the dog's barked in Nancy's new Ford Escape.



We both did quite well with it being a new gun and all.


No complaints about the trigger, just some clean shots on the targets.
When i did my part, the gun could really deliver, especially with the
light recoiling Hornady FTX!!

Look for the LINK to my full Review.

Holsters for the Duty at CZ-USA Webstore.

P-07 Duty hits the cover! May issue of Guns & Ammo!

A good (maybe record) year for CZ sales so far. They should be even better as they get more
positive press like the recent cover of Combat Handguns and now Guns & Ammo
magazine!


CZ fans are starting to buy the DUTY.. and posting their observations and some nice
pics.



These are from Warmon.



The gun gets better looking each time I see a new pic!I really need to get one,
but the little missus ( otherwise known a Boss) just had to have a PCR out of the 2009 catalog.



More on the P-07 later .

CZechnology T-shirts & More at the CZ-USA Webstore!

The weather is warming up and it is time for me to start wearing CZ summer clothing.

Wearing a CZECHNOLOGY t-shirt always attracts comments.


I especially like the "CZimply The Best!" logo on the www.czub.cz t-shirts that I
have direct from the factory.

Only a few of those babies in the states right now.

However, YOU can get your own CZechnology t-shirts from CZ-USA.

SP-01 PHANTOM Makes COMBAT HANDGUNS Cover!

The CZexy as hell PHANTOM is now gracing the cover of the June 2009
issue. Like or hate polymer guns, the new line of polymer framed CZs is going to be hard to miss this year. The Phantom looks to be sweetness on rails, if you know what I mean:)

CZ fans are already screaming for a .40 version of the PHANTOM and P-07 DUTY.

HORNADY Should Be Bringing .40 S&W FTX to the market very soon.



I've liked the Phantom since the first time that I saw a pic.
They were running around Australia back then.. and those guys were
having some real fun with the latest toy from CZ.



Of course, the Phantom is featured on the cover of the 2009 CZ-USA Catalog as well.



The article inside by Patrick Sweeney is well worth the newstand price, or a request
from CZ-USA by phone or e-mail. 1-800-955-4486 or info@cz-usa.com

P-07 Dutys Have Arrived!

A few of the P-07s are now in the hands of CZF members and others.

The gun looks right at home with the RAMI and PCR!




Reportedly, the slide is a bit wider on the DUTY, but I like how low it sits!




After you order some spare 16-shot magazines.
Don't forget your Hornady FTX ammo!


VISIT the P-07 DUTY CLUB (LINKS) for more P-07 info.

The mags have arrived before the guns.

As you can see..the mags have unique markings, and are a bit bigger than
a 75B or Compact mag, but smaller than a Glock 19 magazine.

I've posted some images of measuring the the Duty mag and two other brands.

Look for my post in the P-07 Duty Club.

Pre-Order your P-07 Duty.

Word is that they will be in Mid-March.
That's sooner than initially expected.

I'm not selling these. Just thought that some of you guys would be interested.

CZ-USA Pricing For 2009: Polymer Framed Guns are Best Buys!

In looking at the new CZ-USA annual type magazine with the 45 page Buyer's Guide.
A bold new direction for CZ catalogs this year.

Other companies such as Glock and Mossberg have offered such Annuals for a few years, with S&W jumping aboard the concept for 2009, too.

With the recent price hike at CZUB and CZ-USA.

The POLYMER framed guns seem to be quite cheaper than the steel or alloy framed
pistols.

Starting with the soon to be hot selling CZ75 P-07 DUTY in 9mm.





CZ P-01: $672

CZ75 P-07 Duty: $508

$164 Savings


-------------------------------------------------------------






SP-01 Tactical: $820

SP-01 Phantom: $681


$139 Savings
----------------------------------------------------


RAMI $671

RAMI P $612



$69 Savings
-----------------------------------------------------------






RAMI BD ( W/Nites) $747

RAMI P $612

$132 Savings

The Decocker version with nites might be worth the extra money
if you need/demand the new BD model.

A RAMI P BD might be the best of both worlds:)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like the polymer guns might be the Best Buys in the CZ pistol line.


For those of you with doubts about anything 'plastic' from CZ.


While not such a great gun due to the horrible DAO trigger.
There has never been a problem with the CZ100 and it's polymer frame
cracking or breaking in any way. At least not to my knowledge.


Likewise..

The RAMI P and Phantom have been on the market and in shooter's
hand for a while now.

There is no apparent durability issues with the polymer frames.


KEV

Being sent several boxes of the newest development at Hornady: The FTX flex tip technology
round in 9mm Luger caliber.

Reportedly- giving expansion Every Time through clothing and barriers.
The FTX looks interesting for my defensive needs.

Usually, I try to get good pics of myself or others shooting, and of muzzle
flash, ect. My camera batteries were near dead, and I could only get a few
pics. Hopefully, I'll be able to do some further testing with FTX when the
weather gets warmer.



My GOAL: Function/ accuracy testing for use in my CZ and other 9mm pistols.

TESTING:

CZ2075 RAMI in 9mm: The Chunky Monkey Mini-Z.

7 yards.

8 rounds of FTX. All rounds targets chewed out center of bullseye, save for two
low rounds, due to the target being low on the hanger. I was able to correct
quickly and center punch the zippy FTX rounds thru the target.

Mild recoil with little muzzle flash or rise. No feeding problems.


(Note: Exactly what I want in a defensive load!)

15 yards.

14 rounds of the FTX through my RAMI. No problem with printing some tight groups when I
did my part.

Due to my health issues. I don't shoot much anymore and my shooting skills
have suffered, but I try to do my best.

14 more rounds down range. Accuracy on my part improved. The FTX seems to be much
more accurate than I am.

Low recoil. Little muzzle flash or rise. Superb reliability.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CZ75 (Pre-B) the stoic 9mm that the CZ pistol legend was built upon.

15 yards.

15 rounds of FTX. Showing better accuracy than the RAMI, but not by much.
Hampered by the tiny fixed sights, but still able to get some decent combat accuracy.

Excellent reliability.

15 rounds of Speer 124 gr. Gold Dot +P (carry load) which exhibited more muzzle
flash and blast, along with muzzle rise than the FTX.

I've shot a lot of this load in my CZs and know how it acts in my RAMI, too.

I guess that is the price you pay with the +P load. No feeding problems encountered

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLOCK 19 TALO Limited Edition:

15 yards.

10 rounds of FTX.

Fighting the Glock trigger and Glock sights. The FTX fed well and delivered decent accuracy.
I'm a CZ guy at heart, so a real Glock fan could probably get superior accuracy results.

Low recoil and flash, low muzzle rise.

10 rounds of Blazer 9mm.

Average accuracy, as much as you can expect from ball ammo. Moderate recoil and
blast. Moderate flash, but not a lot of muzzle rise. More noticable in all areas than
than the FTX. This lot of ammo tends to run hot in my pistols.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OBSERVATIONS:

The FTX showed mild manners and exceptional accuracy ( for me ) and 100% reliability.

Less recoil than the compared SPEER +P load, or the hot Blazer.

Controlled recoil with the FTX and other rounds, but the Hornady offering seems to be
the winner.

Low flash/blast also makes it a winner for defensive carry at night.

No reliability problems were evident. Something that I can't say with certain loads and
the RAMI.

Other testers may not agree with my experience, but I really like the FTX.



This load has met my requirements for defensive carry.

Thanks, Hornady!

Now it is up to you to decide!

New Ammo from Hornady : FTX Critical Defense

Hello all!

In recent days I've obtained a quantity of the new FTX round in 9mm from the
good people at Hornady.


I will hopefully be testing it in my new RAMI P when the gun arrives shortly.

Early reports show the FTX ( Flex Tip design ) to resist clogging up with clothing and other debris, and resulting in Expansion, every single time!

12 inches of penetration with the 9mm 115 grain FTX critical defense load
sounds ideal to me.

At a listed 1,140 fps. My hope is that is will preform admirably in the RAMIs..
and no be too hot for the Chunk Monkey's small/light slide.

Myself and others have had slide velocity issues when using +P or +P+
rounds, and the FTX will be put to the test soon.

As a big fan/user of the mighty 10mm round, incuding the superb Hornady XTP
bullet. I'm looking forward to seeing Hornady (a leader in ammo technology) offer
the FTX in this wonderful caliber.

Likewise, I hear that people are very happy to be carrying this in their
.380s.

I should be getting my Ruger LCP soon:)

New CZ items at SHOT Show 2009.

While the Shot Show reports have been coming in on different websites.

Most of the stuff seems to be old news. Products that have been on the market for some time now.

The CZUB/Dan Wesson line does have a few new things for 2009.

Firstly. Looking at the CZ-USA product line.

Pics of the P-07 Duty at the CZ booth have been circulating.

My my note of the adjustable rear sight to Dave, has brought me some
interesting information.

Basically, the new DUTY will be very user friendly,
and at a much reduced price over the comparable alloy framed
P-01. By $160 or more!

At 1.7 pounds (almost the same weight as the P-01's 1.71) Polymer framed with a 16-shot magazine capacity.

The Omega fire control that allows you to switch from traditional DA/SA or to
decocker..and your choice of fixed combat or adjustable
sights.. \\

Combined with a decent price.

What's not to like!


Other pistols in the new catalog are the BD (decocker) models such as the RAMI BD (alloy framed)and the big 97BD in .45 ACP flavor.

Of course, the smooth selling P-06 in .40 caliber is present.

I do not see a RAMI P in BD form yet. Hopefully some will follow later this
year.

As for the slick CZ83.


No 9MM MAK chambering for 2009, unless Alice wants to bring
a few in at a time.

There do seem to be plenty of surplus CZ82s on the market at places like
J&G SALES in Arizona.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dan Wesson will have the Concealed Carry Officer's model again for this year.

A lot of DW owners have cried for the return of the CC0.

Another newbie is the DW Pointman Seven in Desert Tan.

Looks like it will only be available in .45 ACP for the time being.

The other POINTMAN>>SKU # 1901 Pointman Seven comes in 10mm.

Then there is the Pointman 9. Looks pretty nice!

Also look for a Pointman in the ever popular .40 S&W chambering!

Look for something New Called a Pointman Marksman...no caliber mentioned.

Their CBOB is now available in two tone finish and like before..in .45
ACP and my favorite..the mighty 10mm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure what is new and exciting about the rifle line, but have concentrated on
the handguns for now.

Hopefully,

you can now get your FREE 2009 catalogs.
