Cz discontinuing model

[aarondhgraham]

Meh. CZ hasn't really been the same since the Germans quit running it.

Germans?

Germans ran a Czech gun company?

At Shot Show CZ announced that they’re bringing back the 97 in 10mm….jk

…but they should!

Ahhh! This got my hopes up so bad.

Maybe the rumored new P-10 will be in 10mm.

When CZ dropped the 527 carbine I was very disappointed. They were nifty little rifles.

One can hope. Been dreaming of a 10mm CZ since I saw CZ Custom make a one time conversion years ago.

They sure did. Some of the first CZ Mausers were assembled using German WW1 98 parts in the 1920s. About 20 years later the Germans took an active part in managing the factory.

Thought I’d bump this. I bought a TS2, put 200 Rds down range, and loved it. I sent the slide off to have it machined for my new optic, and the USPS lost it.

Then everything went to hell. CZ has no way to replace a slide for any of their hammer-fired pistols. So, I lost my slide, and the only solution is to either buy a whole new pistol, or buy a custom slide from CZ-custom, which will cost just a bit less than a whole new pistol.

At the same time, I have a Dan Wesson Valor in 9mm that needs new night sights. CZ told me flat out that that was also an irreplaceable item.

If anyone wants to sell me a TS2 slide, or maybe buy a TS2 frame, let me know. I bring all this up to warn everyone. CZ has this fantasy that the USPS would replace an entire firearm when they just lost a single piece. CZ has effectively discontinued a whole slew of guns since critical parts don’t exist for them. If you have one of these pistols and need to send it off for anything, I’d recommend sending the whole pistol and insuring for the whole value, since at least then there’s a chance you can replace it without being out a pile of money.

All of their competition guns can otherwise only be milled for optics locally. Which, for many people will make them not worthy as competition guns at all.

So, fair warning.

Great advice … and sorry you have to go through this.
