Sending a Mark V back to Weatherby today. I have sent guns back for repairs and recalls many times. I have only had one disappear. Shipper paid for a new one at MSRP. I guess it is in a lake or river by now, it was about 20+ years ago.
That makes sense. I had one myself, a snappy little devil. Not a range gun, lol but something you can carry wearing anything.Believe she stated she has a 3AT. Too light of a gun.

I love the CZ platform but it is not equal to this, but then again even tuned up they don't cost as much as the one below. LOL
It's working ok, I just don't like it a lot now that I have nicer guns to shoot. It's the P3AT, or whatever, and it was my 2nd NC gun, used on my CC permit test, but it's pretty snappy and it's not my favorite to shoot. I do shoot it every once in a while, so if a robber attacks me in the bathroom to try to steal the laundry, I'll be ready! Lol.What Kel Tec do you have and why didn't it earn your love? They have excellent customer service if it's not working right.
I've tried a CZ, I think the 75b, and I can't rack the slide. Not sure if I've tried one like the one pictured. I'll see what happens when they return my 1911 or send a new one.View attachment 134745 They make a cheap 9mm 1911 that actually works and holds more boolits.
Yes, it's too light, but it did what I needed it to do to get my CC permit, and was my first carry gun. It also stepped in for carry duty when the Sig and the 1911 9mm went all nuts about the same time, and while I shopped for new carry gun (a G19, as it turned out.) I don't love shooting it, but I'll keep it.Believe she stated she has a 3AT. Too light of a gun.

Very nice gun no doubt.
I’d rather have my CZ and the money left over. Because that won’t do anything the CZ can’t do, except maybe slightly tighter groups. And the CZ will do somethings better, too. Like hold more than double the rounds and be reliable af.
Just my opinion!

How cheap is cheap??
Exactly! When I want nothing showing whatsoever, gun-wise, I carry this gun. It holds more rounds than the p238, and it's real easy to hide. A lot of my family have no idea what I've got into lately, and I use this one when extra discretion is called for. LOL. (My family doesn't "approve" of guns....tattoos, either, for that matter, so as you might imagine, I'm the oddball of the group!)That makes sense. I had one myself, a snappy little devil. Not a range gun, lol but something you can carry wearing anything.
Unfortunately, though my hands are way stronger than they used to be, I'm still unable to do it....though I think I did rack the slide on the one I shot at Battery Oaks....I can't recall, but Billy will know. I should give it another try, maybe. They have one at the range.The slide profile of the CZs is small and harder to grasp than a lot of other designs. If you drive the gun with your strong hand you can learn to rack it without issue.

Thanks for sending this!
Yeah if I am in the mood to shoot a fullsized CZ i have a CGW Shadow 2.and a CGW 75B. If I applied that logic to guns I would just own $500 Glocks and keep the money. There really is nothing I can do with the GI or a CZ that I can’t do with a Glock if I am being honest about it.
The Shadow 2 is one of the best out of the box values on the market right now IMHO but it still does not have 1911 trigger. I am just a duffer with a nice set of clubs. You will find me in the rough more often than not. LOL
My logic was that an SP01 (600$) is a better 9mm than you are likely to get in a 1911 for the same cost.
You then applied the logic that a 3000$ + Custom made 1911 is better. It is indeed nicer Han an SPo1.
I then said I’d rather have my CZ and the money left over.
My CZ was 1700$ so not sure what 500$ glocks have to do with this. And frankly, the trigger is short, SA, and under 2 lbs. so not sure how much better the trigger needs to be, lol.
And your CZs are actually small frame CZs.
OMG, a 1911 in 9mm! I'm glad I'm an oldman.I am attached to that gun, but I also am attached to the .45....and the G19....and the p238.....and the Rossi.....lol....the Kel Tec, not so much! I'll just be glad to have A 1911 in 9mm back at some point!
You used to be an old man!OMG, a 1911 in 9mm! I'm glad I'm an oldman.
Remember Colt chambered the Commander in 9x19 way back in 1949 or so.OMG, a 1911 in 9mm! I'm glad I'm an oldman.

Ok, this really is it, guys! Just got a text saying a FedEx package is coming to me tomorrow from NV, and I have to sign for it.
Of course, they don't give even the tiniest hint of whether this might happen before noon, or after noon, just that it will happen before 8 pm. Lovely! I had to cancel my shooting plans in order to wait around the house all day....LoL.
I'll keep you posted on what they sent back.....
I did, that's how I knew it was on the way. I can't specify a time frame, though....I'll hang about the house all day and wait for "my precious" to get here...LOL. Or maybe it'll bae a new gun...who knows?You can sign up at FedEx.com to receive email or text updates on the delivery.
Exactly why I rearranged my shooting plans for the morning. LoL.It will come at 7:59 pm unless you leave the house, and then it will come while you are gone. Ask me how I know.
I'm going to try real hard not to haul a** to the range the instant I get that thing unwrapped! I got 1,000+ rounds of 9mm! LoL. But I can save it for Friday....maybe!Resist the urge to step outside and pop a few off after you have ripped the package open. We know you'll want to. Resist the urge.

Make sure it’s lubed.I'm going to try real hard not to haul a** to the range the instant I get that thing unwrapped! I got 1,000+ rounds of 9mm! LoL. But I can save it for Friday....maybe!
At one time I did think I had them figured out, but then they went all backwards on me, and now I have no idea what to expect and when....I've had FedEx show up at 9 am, and I've had them show up at 3 pm. The mail person shows up at diff times also.@Millie
I’ve found the couriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) each seem to arrive around the same time of day (the Mail Female around 11am, UPS around 5:30, etc.). If you’re really curious, you might ask your neighbors whether they have experience receiving FedEx packages around a certain hour (noting that there’ll usually be two different FedEx trucks working the neighborhood, one for overnight and one for “slow boat”).
The lube is in the range bag. Lol.Make sure it’s lubed.

LMAO.That’s what she said...
Sunday, pace yourself!I'm going to try real hard not to haul a** to the range the instant I get that thing unwrapped! I got 1,000+ rounds of 9mm! LoL. But I can save it for Friday....maybe!
I'll pace myself when I'm dead! lol.Sunday, pace yourself!
Perfect. That’ll help the gun slip in and out of the bag smoothly.The lube is in the range bag. Lol.
That only works for Rich Corinthian Leather.Perfect. That’ll help the gun slip in and out of the bag smoothly.
I don't send guns off, I fix those. It usually has to do with cell phones, security devices, replacement credit cards, ammo, and all of that other crap that requires a signature or you don't want sitting in your driveway.I don't even want to ask about your sad gun delivery story, it's sure to break my heart. LoL.
