I love my unfluted 686+

I knew that wouldn't last long...Every CZ family needs a Rami BD in it.

I thought this was the model you were buying when I bought the Rapide Dusk from you…man that is nice.

Thanks...and I certainly agree with milling being the way if a feller was carrying with an optic on the streets. At this point I don't think I would ever pay to get the slide milled on that Sar. But if my affinity to optics on a pistol grew to the point that I believed carrying with an RDS would benefit me in the streets I'd pay to get that done to my P01 and call it money well spent.

That makes me feel a little better....cause what you called presentation drills is what I've been doing since I took it out to shoot...and it is getting better. My cat Frank Castle Mclovin probably thinks I've lost my mind drawing down on imaginary bad guys all the time...

I was in the exact same boat....there was no way I was gonna drop a ton of money on a guaranteed "carry worthy" optics ready pistol and a high dollar RDS without some experimentation. And I ain't even thinking about modifying any of my "streetable" carry guns to experiment with. What convinced me to "pull the trigger" on the purchase was the clearance sale... It made me feel like I could get a larger portion of my money back selling it used if I just hate it. But so far I don't...

The trigger is pretty decent...it was a little gritty feeling but that went away after just a little shooting. It is a CZ clone and the trigger really reminds me of the P01 that I used to have that was unmodified when it was new....and it got better the more I shot it. Of course the trigger on the Cajonized P01 that I still own is far superior. So yeah the trigger is what you would expect from a double action CZ trigger. All in all it's a pretty nice gun especially for that kind of money. But yeah so far so good on the little O Sight S it zeroed well has held it fine (so far) and I've messed with it a bunch without using the charge hood just to get a notion on how long it's on board charge storage lasts (since it technically doesn't have a battery) and there seems to be no issue with worrying about charge life as it's consumed less than 20 % in the 6 weeks that I've had it and I've messed with it alot and I mean alot. And the hood will recharge the optic 3 times on a single charge via USB C which doesn't take long. Closed emitter...the glass is clear no fish eye at all. I didn't "torture test" it but I did put it under water for about 15 minutes to see if I could detect any water getting in it...and I didn't.

So on a whim I bought a SarUSA P8S stainless on clearance from PSA like $299. Not for any specific reason other than to just mess with it. I've been wanting to try a pistol optic and possibly someday a suppressor. I confirmed with a dude at SarUSA the existence and availability of a threaded barrel and he was cool as heck and confirmed the 4.3" threaded barrel they sell can be had without ports so if I do decide to get a suppressor I should be good.There was some "drama" getting a functional plate...The nice dude from Sar sent me to Galloway Precision who had one that replaces the rear dovetail...not good at all...sent it back ended up getting one on SarUSAs website that works fine for what it is. But both companies did answer the phone and tried and I got what I needed and a no hassle return on the mistake...so good on both them. I picked up the Osight S on the cheap cause I can't afford to go "buy once cry once" on a concept that I may just hate. I just wanted something cheap and a donut of death as my astigmatism is problematic with dots. I really like it. The auto brightness seems pretty doggone good even in shade looking out into sun. So far everything with it has worked like it's supposed to. I on the other hand I am struggling a little. I think I'm getting better at it but if I'm aiming down I have trouble finding my donut...aiming level no trouble...aiming up no trouble. I'm sure if the slide was milled and there was even a sniff of cowitness that I wouldn't have the problem. But if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's rump everytime it took a jump...

I don't know if you ever come east. If you do I have a Model 10-3 heavy barrel. Mechanically sound...bore is nice.

Dear Lord…if I hadn’t have just bought a Kimber Rapide Dusk just a few weeks ago I’d be slapping that cabbage down square on the barrel head.

I thought the exact same thing. That thing is cooler than the other side of the pillow.

Pm sent…

Oh heck I had forgotten that I traded with you before until you mentioned visiting your parents. I love my little model 60 you sold me I carry it every day. I'm sure someone will scoop up that little Kimber for what you are asking but if that doesn't happen by the time you do come for a visit I'd like to have it.

I don't suppose you ever come towards Ktown do you?

You are killing me Smalls...as always lingering here in the East getting left out. Tercel always selling the stuff I'd buy in a second at rock bottom prices.
