I did it again!
I have budgeted some money for a carbine for HD and fun. I was looking at the Mini-14, M1 Carbine and some revolver caliber lever rifles, and leaning towards the lever rifles.
So, when I went in today to pick up the CZ 75 Compact, they had something I've wanted a long time in the case for less than it usually costs online. It is something that is often not available, and when it has been available, I was either in the market for something else that I felt I needed more, or I didn't have the budget for the gun. So a gun that is sporadically available, that I've wanted for 15 years, at a good price, and I have the money set aside for a gun (albeit for a different gun), of course I jumped on it.
So, I filled out the paper work and just started the 7 day waiting period for a CZ PCR.
For years I wanted it, about 2 years ago I went to get one and no one had them so I got my P01. I just picked up my 75 Compact today. And now I also own (and will soon possess) the PCR. I'm not really surprised, and I'm quite happy about it.
In case the PCR has the same trigger slap my P01 has, I'm already taking a look at sending it to Cajun Gun Works for some trigger work. Heck, even if it doesn't, I may decide what work I want and send it out to make it exactly what I want. Time to start saving for some customization.
*Still unsure what I'll do with the P01. I don't love it so I don't know if I want to spend the money to fix the trigger slap issue, or I may just sell it now that I'll have the PCR. On the other hand, the gun shop says I should try some 115gr ammo. I usually like mid-weight ammo in my 9mms and they say that going with lighter grain ammo often fixes trigger slap issues. Can't hurt, if it works it will be a low (no) cost solution that might save a gun for me that I had high hopes for. And one of the reasons I never loved the gun (other than the trigger slap) is that I
really wanted the PCR and settled on the P01. Now that I'll have a PCR maybe I can come to appreciate the P01 for what it is.
Now, at least until I decide what to do with the P01, I have all the main CZ 75B compact models- the PCR, P01 and 75 Compact
.
All I need now is the RAMI (9mm, 9mm with decocker, and .40) and the ones with the Omega triggers to fill out the collection .
