I'm all about instant gratification to, in fact i think thats my middle name. Add that to my super impulsive purchasing habits and I'm surprised I even have money period.
I tried calling CZ-USA first, they simply told me that since it was a limited run weapon (1,500 +/-), there is no way they could get one for me basically, they gave me names of vendors that sell all different kinds of CZ's but most are from Europe and the shipping rates are out of this world from FFL to FFL (her words). I was told to simply keep an eye out.
Still determined, I call up CZCustom and was given the run around for a while till I got pissy and let one of the sales guys have it (verbally). I was transfered to a "lead associate" who was able to answer all my questions.
1. Where would be the best place to find a CZ 40P?
A: Private Vendors/Look around/Ask around
2. CZ 97B issues that we here have all discussed?
A: Simply trial and error. Polish up the feed ramp (done), Apply new recoil springs (I need to get a
couple to see what works with what grain bullet), purchase the new magazines from CZCustom
(he gave me the order number), and the most expensive.....put another 1000-2000 rounds
through it in the highest increment of rounds possible at a time to simply break it in (which makes
sense given that I really only have put maybe 500 rounds through each).
3. GhostWarrior bought an SP-07....I want one too?
A: I never got a straight answer on this as to whether they would build me one or run another
super short production of them. I told him I would be willing to pay a bit more for the specialty
order thinking that as a business, especially in todays economy, any sort of customer purchase
would be somewhat honored. He explained that the gun was very difficult to manufacture to
begin with, precision slicing the dust cover of one gun, then apply the correct springs (noting that
each gun is unique in that the springs are a bit different for each gun) and the incurred man
hours. So, I'll keep asking about the SP-07 till I get a straight answer.
The CZCustom guy also explained that I could have the entire gun sent to their shop and they could do all that work for me to see what the exact issue is and the fix for it, but gave no clear price so I figure I'll sleep on that idea.
So far I have tried every site I know of and have found to even see if there is a beat up one for sale and ive gotten squat. So hopefully one will pop up sometime.
