Title: New CZ Phantom
Post by: MLU on October 15, 2017, 09:50:45 PM
Having a couple of CZs and always wanted a Phantom and finally got one.  Now I'm shooting the Phantom at weekly scenario sessions and it's great!  Was shooting a G-19 and was never consistent or making much improvement. Now, shot groups and follow-ups are much better.  DA first shot is always at the closest target so no issues and the SA is awesome.  Replaced the front sight with a red fiber optic (much needed indoors) and polished rails, trigger parts and other internals.  After approximately 500 rds through the gun I really don't feel the need for any other $$ work.  Using an Alien Gear Cloak Mod holster which is Okay but not fast. Will be looking for a quicker slide type holster. For me, the Phantom is an all-around great gun that fits many uses.

They were wise to bring it back into production.

I went down to a local fun store a week or so ago and checked one out. I am going back for one in the next couple weeks. :grin: Feels great in my hand and feels super light.

It is very light for a full size pistol but the slide design and weight makes for minimal recoil and muzzle flip.  Just be aware of the long first DA trigger pull which also lends the Phantom to being a combat carry weapon.

I have put some thought into that. I don't think I will have any problem adapting to it.
After I shoot it awhile I probably will do a "trigger" Job on it with CGW parts.

A few more matches done and it just keep getting better.  Speed and accuracy is awesome.  Hope you find one.

I was able to pick up a Phantom yesterday afternoon. I am very impressed with the build quality. The trigger on my copy is really pretty smooth but a little heavy on the DA side( to be expected) but not the slightest bit of grittiness . and the typical take up on the SA side. I am happy about how smooth is is out of the box.  I feel some CGW parts coming on in the future :grin: but for now I have to get to a range to shoot it.

 Sounds like fun! how did you do?
 We have a range close by that hosts monthly IDPA, USPSA and Steel challenge matches. I am really interested in giving it a try. Probably steel challenge first. I haven't gotten up there yet as the monthly matches for September were over by the time we moved here and October was unpacking and settling in.

I haven't tried to up load pictures to this site yet so I am of no help.

Update:  1000+ rounds through the Phantom with zero issues.  Shooting on-the-move scenario courses twice a week with a variety of new and re-load ammo.  The phantom is fast on target, accurate, easy to reload on the move, and fun.
