Rick,

A good posting about shooting a nice pistol sometimes. I take one of my nice ones out every once in a while and enjoy the heck out shooting it.

As you said, these often cause a stir at the range when other come up and want to know what type of pistols you have. Some of these people have seen pictures, but never seen them fired. The genenration we have now at the range all know the plastic or all squared off pistols and the good stugg like Lugers, P.38s are foreign to them. They can't believe that these old pistols can shoot just as accurate as their "wonder nines" they have. I guess I am old fashion myself and like the classic type pistols.

A few weeks ago I was considering getting a "new" style pistol for plinking fun and I wanted a Walther P-99 until I found the one in the gun shops were partially made by S&W. Well, I did go to some gunshops and tried the Walther, H&K, Sig-Sauer, Desert Eagle, Glock, etc. I did not like the feel of any of them except the Sig and it felt good, but still appeared to modern. After thinking I would just stay with my WWII pistols, I started reading about the CZ-75 and found it to be of the classic design and well made. I liked the CZ better than all the other "wonder nines" I tried out, and the price was the lowest of them all. From my research on the CZ, the accuracy was right at the top with all the rest and it is all steel the way a handgun should be. Sorry for the long post and a little off topic, but if you are looking for a modern pistol to buy, take a look at the CZ line.
