Czechoslovic weapon. Under rated. CZ's quality control is born of Arsenal of Bulgaria's history. If I'm not mistaken, CZ's barrels are hammer forged. Same barrel technology H&K and Styer use. CZ just recently entered the synthetic (plastic) framed weapon arena to compete with the other high end manufacturers, though not nearly as pricey. I haven't heard anything bad about them tough. They are popular with INTERPOL and other European agencies.
Older CZ pistols had that weird European rear heavy thing going on. Kinda like the Walther PPK and Makarov.
If you have one in a non European caliber like .40, it would be a nice choice.

The world, as much as we'd like to wish, isn't going to regress in technology. Unless we end up nuking ourselves back into the stone age. A gun is a tool just like anything else. When I need to dig a hole, I grab a shovel. When I need to fix my Z28, I roll out my Snap On box.
Blades aren't a bad way to go. But "I'd hate to get killed for lack of shootin' back". California, huh? I bet your doors stay locked. hahaha
The things that are wrong with the world usually right themselves by attrition. Sooner or later, people pay for rotten things they do. In a world like that, you only do what you have to do. You fulfill your responsibility in and to your community. No more, no less.

Anyway back to guns - How does the famous saying go? Guns don't kill people, people kill people... Something like that I think.
Oh, and yes I keep my doors locked at night and in the day time, cars locked too, even back and side gates.. I just had a transmission stolen out of my back yard 4 months ago and my yard is in the back of my gated house too.. The transmission was broken and used but still, someone with big ***** came into my back yard and picked up the 90lb and walked right out with it... UNBELIEVEABLE!!!... I'm only 30 minutes away from South Central LA and Watts but I do live in a good area other wise... Santa Monica, Ca... I'm a white guy too
Sorry to get off topic, carry on lads..

I've personally never owned one. I have put a CZ-75 through the works though. Nice balance, mag changes are easy, and the stock sights are effective on the full size models. Like I said, INTERPOL likes 'em. They can't be too shabby.

Well said, and I tend to agree with ya.. However, when we run into food shortages, and other stuff just because there are too many people in the world what then?.. Medicine is better and people live longer, no more world wars and massive virus's to take out millions, more natural resourses are being used, more of everything is being used..Etc. Etc.. Now how do you fix that problem that is growing and creeping up on us rapidly?

I was in Bronx New York during the late 70's "fuel crisis". I actually watched people in gas lines shoot each other over 77 cent per gallon gas. Recently, we've just sucked up to paying over 4$ per gallon in some places without killing each other. I'm still wondering what that means.
Me? I'd laugh my *** off over that stolen tranny. What else can you do? It's amazing what people will steal and what they will go through to steal it. The thief's back must be killin him. ..and then to realize his "prize" was broken after all that effort.

No, actually it was very cheap...It was the original tranny out of my SC400 Lexus, which I blew under a big nitrous shot one day, it gave up the ghost in second gear under the juice.... Used Lexus SC400 trannies are about $300-$500 at local wreck yards.. The used parts are pentiful and cheap as a lot were sold and made over the years... I got a used SC400 tanny and slapped in their for $500 complete, runs perfect...... I was thinking of building that broken Lexus tranny up to support the LS3 swap, but not happening now..... Going with Chevy tranny and motor combination instead in the Swap....

Like I said, you take care of you and those under your care. God & Karma will take care of the rest. I'm not sure what you could do about a food shortage. I wouldn't kill anyone over a loaf of bread. But that doesn't mean someone else won't. You just have to trust that everyone will do the right thing and be ready for them if they don't.

Remember size is what matters, small or big you've gotta be able to handle it and conceal it comfortably.
I say call it a day and invest in a Taser! Or a Vadge Badge... no one likes a Vadge Badge...

Get a Kahr P9. Its a thin so it's easy to conceal and Kahr is one of the top rated handguns for concealed carry. A 9mm will stop someone if you actually aim and don't just spray and pray.
