  1. If it were mine I would try another couple of boxes of ammo and see what happened. If I had more problems then I would send it back. I've had mine since they first came out, 1500 or so rounds with no FTF or FTE, not that has any bearing on how yours is performing.
  2. Obviously just a little bit heavier but very similar in feel in hand. Most of the time my 1911s are used more for just plinking as I carry either striker or DA/SA options most of the time. I do like the flat trigger on the ECP, I changed out the ECO trigger to a black one shortly after I got it just because I think it looked better than the silver one it came with. Can't go wrong with either IMO.
  3. My LGS ordered it for me, I did some trading to get the out of pocket down a bit...
  4. 200 rounds of crappy Blazer 115g this afternoon and it are it up like a kid eating candy. Smooth as butter, definitely one sweet handgun (and I expected nothing less)
  5. Picked this one up yesterday to replace the ECO I parted with to help fund a motorcycle purchase. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but hopefully soon!

    Glad to hear you are liking it. Carried mine for the first time Sunday and really pleased with the it in the SlimTuk holster.

    So far it's been 115 and 124 g, mostly Fiocchi, Federal and Blazer.
  8. Still haven't been able to put my hands on one of these! Looks sweet!

    50 rounds of JHP this afternoon, ran like a champ. Mags loaded up and it goes into the rotation
  10. Well glad I didn't extend my membership a few months back (Jackson). The one is Jackson was OK but the employees spent more time on their phones than doing anything else. Never had all the lanes working, would have the air and ventilation off and wouldn't turn it on unless you asked, etc... I had already decided to let my membership go out so not a huge loss.

    Why spend $283 when you could get a Hi-Point for $180? Holster arrived Sat, nice fit and tucks nicely iwb. Few hundred more rounds with some defense rounds in the mix and it will go into the rotation.

    100 more rounds yesterday afternoon. Still digging it. Will probably share time with my 365 as EDC once I have a few more rounds through it.

    So a quick 50 after I got home and I have to say.... this thing is sweet. Trigger feels lighter than they claim, handles like a dream. Can't wait to get a few more rounds through it and then start carrying it. Holster is already on the way

    Reviving this old thread.... since I brought one home today. I have been eyeing them all this time and got an offer I couldn't pass on so....
  16. You decide to get rid of one of those DW I know a guy who might be interested ...
  17. Check out the Glock 48, I think you will like it. I'm a big P365 fan but if you don't like a 43 you won't like it either. I hate short, chunky guns (G26 would be an example) so for me a subcompact has to be single stack. Just handled a SA EMP4 and man it was oh so sweet!
  18. Forgot to add that I don't mess with the reduced TRS unless I'm going full Pro package. FWIW - I have a fully Pro packaged SP-01 Tactical that has a SA pull of 2 lbs with the 11.5# spring and DA is under 5#. Smooth as freaking butter.
  19. Here's what I would recommend (and actually do as a minimum on all my CZs) - Ultra Lite kit from Cajun Gun works. You should always replace the firing pin retaining pin as they will chew up and can cause issues. If you are going to do that you might as well change the firing pin and firing pin spring. This will also let you run the 11.5# hammer spring.
  20. The stock rubber grips are fantastic... the hard plastic ones are terrible. The aluminum ones are great, a bit pricey as you'll spend 25% of the price of the gun to get a pair Best grips for the money are LOK, choose the style based off your personal preference as far as texture goes. If you like the feel of the stock grips then go with the palm swell version. If you want as thin as possible go with the non-palm swell Hakan Pek grips are works of art, but he no longer makes them and they look better than they provide grip (still enough to function but not great for a long range day in the heat, plus you wouldn't want to ding them they look so good!) While you have the grips off change out the hammer spring to lower the DA/SA pull, Cajun Gun works is usually how I order from. It's a 2 minute job and makes a big difference. Pictures are a matte 75B with Hakan grips and a railed 75 compact with LOK bogies in back/white
  21. I'm a big CZ fan, but I'm also a big fan of "value" or getting the most for my dollar spent. That being said I'd go with the CZ, if nothing else just for the sheer amount of aftermarket support. Some items interchange, but a lot don't. You should be able to find a 75B for around $450, and that's a ton of gun for the money. All of course is just my opinion, which is held in high regard... by me.

    Kimber EVO

    My local shop has it on the shelf well under MSRP. I've only held it, not fired.

    Kimber EVO

    If I had the discretionary income at the moment, probably so. That being said I don't see it being a "better" option than a Sig P365, so it's really like making the choice between a $800 1911 versus a $1800 one. If you see the value in the all metal construction, fit and finish and overall feel then it may be worth it to you. A quality piece for sure but from a purely "value for function" perspective it's overpriced.

    Went to the LGS Friday and he had one of the new Kimber EVO SP in. Overall a very nice looking and feeling little pistol, worth the $$$? Maybe....
