Angus Hobdell don't mess around. Ordered a CZ75 SP01
Custom from his site Wednesday night and Friday morning at 10, it arrived at my local FFL. Picked it up as soon as I got off work at noon (love those early
Fridays), came home just long enough to snag my range bag and off to the range.
Ain't she beautiful? But it might be a "he" as I'm thinking of naming it Angus.
What's not to love? Tuned 2.5-lb. SA trigger and feels lighter, DA trigger is so smooth I don't see how Para's LDA could be any lighter or sweeter. Great balance, great looks, 19-rd. "full capacity" mags, shoots like a dream, this pistol makes me a much better shot than I was. And it's got ambi safeties! I'm a lefty, so that's a real big feature for me.
I put 150 rds. of WWB FMJs through her and 100 rds. of UMC HPs, just to see if there's any difference. Mostly fed either one OK, maybe a dozen bobbles, mostly FTXs and semi-stovepipes, a few FTFeeds and two or three FTFires. On the FTFires, all I had to do was pull the DA trigger for a second strike and every time she went Boom! The bobbles started with the first mag of FMJs and diminished as I kept shooting. By the time I got to the box of 100 HPs, there were maybe 2 or 3 FTwhatevers. A dozen out of 250 ain't bad for a start. If I'm still having problems at 500 rds., then I'll start worrying about it.
I guess even custom pistols need a bit of breaking in. I gave her a pretty good workout over about two hours and shot up all the range ammo I brought. Shoulda brought more. Will do next time.
Without further ado, the targets. Here's one of several with 38 holes in the gut, two mags. that flyer in the shoulder was pretty typical of my groups. One round in just about every group surprised me with that super-light SA trigger. That's a nice problem to have.
And here's one of several with 38 in the head, or close enough to it.
Targets are 11x17" Small Red Man B27, fired at seven yards, standing offhand, rapid fire. I tried my best to slow down a bit and aim more to evaluate accuracy with a new pistol, but this pistol just absolutely begs to be shot faster and faster. Great pistol!
Ordered a Blade Tech Dropped Offset Holster from Angus and ordered four 16-rd. Mec-Gar mags from Midway just a while ago, so I should be good to go. Just gotta go shooting!
