Where have you been all my life?

85827

I put in an order for this under the LE program early last fall, and had actually forgotten about the order. The call came in last night, and I picked this gorgeous beast up this morning. Of course, it's going to snow tomorrow, but I'll have her on the range by Sunday...

Local place has the SAO version that calls to me every time I go in there. The want isn’t strong enough to make decide what would be sold off to offset the cost but I may not be able to hold out much longer…

I dig those grips. Nice shootin’ iron.

In fact, if there was a way to convert that safety to a decocker, I'd be a lot more happy. The DA on this critter is fabulous - no reason not to work it!

Beautiful pistol. Really like the colors in that grip panel. I got a 97BD and I kinda be thinking those grips would look good on her too.

I have the same pistol with different Lok grips and it is an amazingly accurate shooter! Put a RDS on it and have fun at the range. You will love it!

I DON'T shoot 25 yard groups very often, because I suck at it. But, since this was a brand new gun, I decided to shoot the first 10 at a B8 at 25 yards. Didn't do anything to the sights, and was "driving the dot" with the red FO. My eyes aren't what they used to be, but this is what I got, shooting S&B cheap (by today's standards) 124gr FMJ:

I see that as a 96 or 97 2X. Not shabby for an old dude with a new gun!

Running fast on steel I'm going to need practice - kept missing low as I'm driving the nose down anticipating the G19 recoil that doesn't exist with this pistol.

That one's high up there on my "grail gun" list. An Orange version would cement it at the top.

Among the reasons I don't buy one, is the shear cost, and the logical argument that I can do so much with my current inventory of guns with the cost of one of the S2s.

However, it cost about 1/2 of a Staccato P DPO, which I see it as a direct competitor with. The only thing on the market that shoots this well is a Sig X5, but they're out of production, and the new Legion X5s are reportedly accuracy challenged.

It's easy to justify some things!

One thing to note is that there is no firing pin block on the gamer CZ models.

Depending on the firing pin / spring combination it can be non-drop safe (RO in NY died when a competitor missed their holster and dropped their gun on the hammer).

Stock S2 shoots about as well as an EDC X9 for 1/3 the price of that.

Once you go down the rabbit hole of modification (barrel bushing, reduced reach kit, springs), there’s almost no factory-ish gun that can touch it.

I’m at 40k+ rounds on the S2s and nothing has broken except for the occasional slide stop (wear item).

Congrats and enjoy it for years to come!
