Shoot it. I have ONE gun in the safe i will not fire. Its a 1947 Winchester 94. My grandfather purchased it new and never fired it. I won't be the first--atleast not now......

The rest get shot on a regular basis. Enjoy the craftmanship and accuracy of that CZ--Awesome Gun!!

I love stainless guns and that CZ is beautiful. It probably does need a break-in. This fella demonstrates how its done--

Man i want to find a rifle with a cow barrel! :rofl:

Nice gun Sonny!!

But there is guns that shouldn't be shot. I have a few that I will never do so.

If you can afford it and have others to shoot then by all means keep your safe queens.

The only CZ I have is a bi-color stainless frame black slide CZ85 combat. I'm a sucker for all stainless pistols. Times I looked at the catalogs and daydreamed of the concept of buying a cz-custom single-action fancified spensive CZ, most of those pistols are either all-black or bi-color.

A fella could buy an all-stainless CZ then pay cz-custom twice the retail price to remove half the parts and replace with other parts. And end up paying a lot more more than a "quasi-off-the-shelf" bi-color custom gun, just to get the same thing in all-stainless. A fella would have to want an all-stainless fancified guy a whole bunch to pay thru the nose for it, and wait til the shop got the work done.

So was wondering, why? One guess-- Most people prefer all-black or bi-color pistols? A competing guess-- Custom-machining would be more difficult to get a "clean looking" result working in stainless? But with black guns or at least black top-ends, all you have to do is re-paint em after the machining?

Am guessing it is just easier to paint parts after custom-machining, compared to customizing a stainless part so clean that it looks great without a fixup re-paint job after being machined?

Too pretty to shoot is something a collector would say, and I'm no collector. I say shoot it to your hearts content. After all, the money you spend is directly related to the amount of life energy you've put into it!

Don't get me wrong, she's a beauty but any gun too pretty to shoot is a gun not worth owning. Take her out and shoot the tar out of it!

Clean, oil and put it in a nice padded case.

I hate guns you can't shoot. They're worthless to me.

Very nice!!!

Couldn't agree more.
