Got a new pistol today!

I've been wanting a CZ P07 ever since I shot a friend's 75 last year, so I broke down and went to Larry's today and traded in my Kel-Tec on one. I only put 50 rounds through it before I got rained out, but I love it. Great shooting gun, seems like CZ really has their stuff together. Here she is..

Sweet :)

Had to look em up....

Composite framed gun?

Interesting

Yeah they're not as popular as some others, but they're great guns. Czech made

Nice :gj:

Can't go wrong with a CZ:gj:

interesting... i'm not familiar with them, but they sound cool. i'd love to get one of those springfield XD's as well.

anyway, nice gun!

Jeeze! No wonder people just get randomly shot. Is there any real need for a gun?

DYING for a Springfield .45ACP

It has nothing to do with NEED, it has EVERYTHING to do with WANT and a constitutional RIGHT to bear arms (carry a gun). This coming from a proud southern gun owner!

Why would you want to? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Another one brainwashed thinking guns kill people. Sorry to say but a state that allows Concealed weapons has a lower crime rate than those outlaw it completely..


yes if i have the right to own a gun then yes means I SHOULD.

Sorry but this is a battle you will never win so give up on it.

I shot a couple XDs and they are great guns, I was planning on getting one until I shot a CZ 75. Most accurate handgun I've personally ever shot, so hopefully my p07 will be too once it's broken in.

I have no problem with anyone who chooses not to own a gun, the problem arises when they attempt to force that choice on me. I have guns not to randomly shoot people, but for personal protection and because shooting is just so dang fun

I'm not one to argue in favor of gun control, but Florida has shown that CC can in fact lead to severe increases in crime. Every state is unique.

Yes and each state has standards on how to issue them as well. If background are not ran thorough then well you get criminals with guns legally. And thats what gives us guys that follow the law bad names.

i saw this bumper sticker once that said this:
"BLAMING GUNS FOR CRIME IS LIKE BLAMING SILVERWARE FOR FAT PEOPLE."
lol i know its just a bumper sticker but i strongly believe in its message.
in japan where im from, guns are illegal (only military personnel legally owns one, not even cops) which makes killing people a little harder and yes there is lower crime rate (which i think has nothing to do with guns but how we are raised) but when murders do happen, its pretty gruesome. when someone breaks into your house and all u can do is either beat him to death or cut or stab the crap out of him to protect you, your family, and your possessions, it makes YOU, the victim, the homicidal maniac because robbery is a lesser crime than killing someone. but if you have a gun in this situation, all u have to do is point it at him and theres nothing he can do unless he just wants to die.

I like guns, to bad I'll never have the money to own one :rofl: .


Oh well.


Still cool pick up.

funny the cultural difference between Americans and some other countries... to each their own - but you certainly won't sway any of us away from our guns. all the 'statistics' for either side can be wiped out by the other side's.

Because guns are alot of fun, they help us defend ourselves and shoot for recreation. It's our right as free men to be able to defend ourselves from crime, nature, and corrupt government. Heck if I wasn't cheap as hell I'd own one.


Besides kid you could kill someone with a pillow (Smothering ring a bell?) or a cast iron skillet. Or a hammer. Do you want those to be illegal to.

Edit: Don't wanna risk rudeness

You would be surprised at the quality of CZ guns. I bought a cz452 american .22 just for plinking and man I can hit a 2 inch sqaure at 200 yards with it almost every time. I was looking into getting a 75 but went with the Springfield XD instead. There's just something about these composite framed guns they are just great. Looks like you got a great pickup there

:hijackd:
I just had to use some of your own logic on you here bud. Just because you can own snakes doesn't mean you should. ITs personal preference and I take offense to comments such as "Jeeze! No wonder people just get randomly shot. Is there any real need for a gun?". All of my guns are locked in a safe about the size of your refrigerator not to mention I poured a 2ft thick slab under my house and brought lag bolts up through the floor and into the safe. I take pride in my gun safety. I go out to a shooting range and shoot at some paper targets or fruit or whatever im in the mood for that day. I really don't see a problem with it. If you have something better than childish comment to add then go ahead if not just stay out of threads such as this one. You knew the thread was about a gun and you still took time out to click it and make several comments which do not pertain to the original topic, and in my opinion are you way of taking a cheap shot at another forum member.

to the op how much did you get that for anyways I may still pick one up someday. :salute::salute:

What did you get yours chambered in? And how much did it run you if you don't mind me asking?

And i fully understand the desire to own a gun! They can be fun (just like snakes). They can be dangerous (just like snakes). They come in so many variations (just like snakes). And once someone finds out you have one questions or comments are sure to follow (just like snakes)!

Hi,

Just to interject that DarkSean is also from the UK and we have just had someone perpetrate our worst shooting spree for over a decade.

It's probably amplified the existing cultural differences somewhat in regards to gun ownership.

lol nah, its because you nuts americans are stuck in your ways so choose to ignore any real sense. You can state your pointless facts, what are the stats in realtion of population size and actual crimes related to guns? Thats why these types of argument are pointless.

Also how the hell did we get from guns, to snakes? Guns were designed to kill people, and they are just treated them like toys and then someones kid ends up getting into their gun and shooting someone else.

Of coruse I don't expect to sway anyone, I know thats even more pointless than anything else.

Also my mums american, so don't call me anti american lol

Stay classy. :rolleyes:


Proud to be a "nuts" American. :salute:

Thats sort of my point. You guys will be proud of pointless traditions, "just coz".

dude, why don't you try to be a little more hypocritical... geez. just what this forum needs, an intolerant biggot to come stir the pot. :rolleyes:

Im neither intolerant or a biggot, come on, you are just being a drama queen now.

Sorry to hijack but I'm curious. Not looking for an argument more of a discussion.

But you say that you have guns for "protection" but aren't you just protecting yourself from other people with guns? I was also curious about how easy it is to get a gun in the states? Is it really like bowling for columbine (sp?) and you get one for making a new bank account?

In Canada I went through a 48 hour course to be able to hold a gun that isn't mine to shoot an animal. I still have more tests and courses to go through until I can legally own a rifle or shotgun. I am very scared of guns (as most everyone I know is). The guns I have used I am very cautious with and would never imagine carrying one around with me.

in my whole life I have never seen a handgun unless carried by a security truck worker or a cop.

And about the people kill people not guns I would have to respectfully disagree. It is so easy to squeeze a trigger and have your problem go away then to have to think about it. Like stabbing or strangling or something. Takes a lot less brain power for a boom then getting your hands dirty.

I own a few guns. They are for hunting and recreational shooting. I don't carry. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don't think that gives them the right to insult others with differing opinions.

A responsible gun owner does not treat a gun like a toy, nor would they put themselves in a situation where a child could get access to their guns.

By the way...it will be easier to "sway" people when you learn to spell...

Says the guy who lives under the "rule" of a monarchy with no real power. All your royal family does is cost you money to no real purpose. Guns are not pointless - they exist for varied purposes from hunting to self defense to plain recreation. (Ever shot one? It's fun, at least in the context of clay pigeons or paper targets.)

To the person who said guns for protection exist only to protect from others with guns, I have to say that's not true. You find yourself at a distinct advantage vs an attacker with a knife or other non-gun weapon if you have a gun, whereas you'd be mostly helpless unarmed. (This argument presumes you're not a black belt in some martial art, etc.) Also, the police can't be everywhere at once - carrying a gun is simply a decision to take responsibility for your own safety. I don't own or carry at the moment, but recent events in my life have led me toward the position that it might be a good idea to start.

To the OP: does the slide ride inside the frame on your CZ? It looks like it might from the photo. I'm not sure if I like the look, but it's definitely unique, and as long as it shoots well and you're happy with it, it's all good, right?

my home protection right here... you can choose to be a victim or you can choose to defend yourself.

Isn't it true that in the UK people are unable to watch football without engaging in violence and hooliganism? Shouldn't football be banned as it is a pointless tradition?

the oddest thing ive ever seen was a car dealership offering an ak-47 with every car purchase... but that was right after bush was no longer in office... many went scrambling for ammunition and firearms right after he left office. it is my right to own a firearm just like its my right to have no censorship on my internet. i hunt and i have taken my safety course for it which was a 2 day course on firearm safety and other assorted hunting knowledge. you seem to think that people dont fear guns any more than you canadians? false its the same. hell... right here in pennsylvania. and many other states. you DONT even have to cc. you can open cary in many businesses. walmart is even pro gun. i can walk into walmart right now with my pistol on my hip and the employees arent allowed to say a word to me about it. ( i dont personally like walmart however. walmart destroys hardworking businesses around the globe.)

It is better to have and not need then to need and not have.

I would rather take responsibility for protecting my family in my house than to depend on the police that are at least 10 minutes away.

In my country, at least for now, it is my right to chose if I want to own a firearm. "NEED" has noting to do with it.

I have never understood people who fear an inanimate object.

GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! :salute:

Nice! I like CZ's shotguns also.
Shooting pistols is a blast!
