I've got another pistol coming...

[tnshooter]

Well...long story short... I've been wanting to add another .40 S&W pistol to my collection. I came very close to adding a Glock 23, but decided not to get another striker-fired one, so started researching hammer-fired (DA/SA) pisols. Finally got it narrowed down to 2... Sig P229 or CZ P06. The Sig was $200 more than the CZ, so the CZ won. I'll be picking it up saturday. Can't begin to tell you how excited I am right now...:)

Congrats, Those CZ's are nice pistols...Post some pictures when you get her home...

:eek: was it really that easy?:rolleyes: lucky dog:target:

The older I get it seems the fewer things really excite me.
Been there, done that seems to rule the day.

Handguns are one of the last passions I have.
I get excited just watching UPS tracking of ammo coming across the country - LOL!
And when a new gun is on the way I feel like a little kid at Xmas.
Can't eat, can't sleep, it's funny.

Savor these moments my friend...

Good luck with your new gun.
BTW it's strongly frowned upon if you acquire a new weapon.
And don't post pics with a full Range Report.

I will be sure to post some pics once I get her all cleaned up. One of my absolutes when it comes to new weapons is that they WILL NOT be fired until they have been thoroughly cleaned and lubed, so it will be a week or so before I get a chance to take it to the range.

More to follow...

I just sent my Sig P229 back to Sig for a replacement, and it wasn't another 229. I opted for a 220. They messed with the extractors, (went to a long one), and I sent mine back twice, and it still would not go into battery half the time with any shell that had a shoulder on it. You done good by getting the CZ..Mike

wow, one doesn't hearmuch negative sh-t on sigs. guess they are normal to --huh??

[Hognutz]

It is their new design. Bruce Gray, from Grayguns has figured out that they machined too much out of the slide. So when the extractor pushes against the shell, it makes for gross misalignment between the next round and the feeding ramp/barrel. It will shoot round nose ammo all day, but anything with a shoulder will jam.. They don't admit a problem, but I'm sure they know that they have one..It is just on the new long extractor modeled 229's..

Sorry to hear about your Sig P229.
Both of mine are outstanding.
Particularly my P220/45.
It's an older 1998 stamped steel slide, factory nickel plated, gun.
I bought it new in 1998 and it has never ever failed me. ---------- Shot this group with Winchester Ranger T-Series 230 gr HPs

That's what I opted for. A 220 Gen.2 SAS in .45. I know that it will rock..

My first .40 was a Beretta Cougar. Got it after a friend of mine died. Paid too much for it, but the widow needed the money. He didn't leave her in very good shape financially when he died.
Anyway, the pistol has never had any kind of failure, is very accurate, and has really worked out well. That's what led me to purchase my Kahr .40, I was taking a class and was using the Cougar, and they required a back up gun and figured I might as well stay with the .40 caliber, so after shooting a friends CW45, I bought the CW40. Later I bought the CW45 and it's kind of replaced the CW40 for the most part. I put a laser on the .45, and carry it quite a bit, especially after dark or on cloudy days. On sunny days, sometimes I still strap the .40 on, just cause it's had more rounds through it and I have faith that it's not going to fail me. It's had no failures of any kind once I learned how to hold it. I had a bit of a limp wrist problem that caused the slide not return all the way and I had to nudge it with my thumb to get it to fire. The CW45 had to go back to Kahr after the trigger wouldn't reset, and I have to admit it was great customer service, they had it back in my hands in exactly 7 days. It's been close to flawless, but it won't feed from the 7 round mags, and I had to replace the recoil spring so it would handle +P loads without FTF's witch is kind of weird since it had less than 500 rounds through it at that point, but the recoil spring solved the +P problem. I haven't shot many +P rounds through it, since I found a local source of Hydra Shoks for it. Both have had there 200+ rounds through them without a failure, so I consider them good to go for carry. The .40 has more like 800 rounds through it so I trust it a little more, but I like the .45 caliber a little more. Oh I want to mention that Beretta bought Stoeger, and shipped the Cougar machinery to Turkey, and are producing them there now under the Stoeger name. It's the same gun as the Beretta, made on the same machinery, but costs a lot less than the Beretta did. If you're looking for a nice double stack .40 with 11 round mags, the Stoeger Cougar can be found for around $350 at gun shows, which I think is quite a bargain for a double stack .40. Beretta made some stainless steel 12 round mags for it for awhile, but I've not seen them for sale recently. I did pick up a couple, and have had no problems with them.
I've not heard any complaints about the Stoeger being of lesser quality than the Beretta, just less expensive due to Turkish labor costs. Some pretty good guns have come out of Turkey over the years.
