    About what you ask? Well, I lied to the home owner that the doors needed two coat and must dry over night before the second coat. I lied on here when I say range report wouldn't be up until tomorrow.... So I repent already righty.

    First 36 rounds down the tube with the CZ75. Upper head shot is 18 rounds lower body mass is 18 rounds. The way these were done. I did a double tap - sorta. I got one in the chamber then decocked it. Then I fired two rounds one with a double action trigger and one with a single action trigger. Then I'd decock the trigger and do it again. I know this much @ 3 yards you do not want to be standing in front of me with the CZ75 in my hand.... I'll explain about the 2 flyers you can see in a minute. But at 3 yards w/new to me gun I was pleased with the grouping.

    So let's move it out to 7 yards and do the same thing.... As one might expect the groupings opened up some but what was really interesting is what happened when I changed from Federal rounds to Blazer CCi rounds. As soon as I started running CCi rounds my groupings move up and to the left just a tad.

    Ok... so now lets move it out the 15 yards. Again, as expected, the groupings got a bit larger. But from what I can tell even at 15 yards. You give me 18 rounds you're going down. All three of these distances were shot under the same condition. DA first shot and SA second shot. Decock and do it again. I did take time to aim with each shot.

    Now about that CZ75 Phantom SP-01 double action. Holy frikkin cow!!! That DA pull is so long and heavy I thought I'd punch a hole in my belly button with my trigger finger before the damn gun went off. That is the cause of the flyers @ 3 yards. Fuk.... It's kinna like pulling something up a cliff with a rope. Pull it up, tie it off, get another purchase and pull it up some more. Keep doing that and eventually the gun will make a loud noise! I was at the range for ~3 hours and went through 300 rounds between the CZ75 and the FNS-9C. I'm gonna do a separate thread for that round. With the CZ I did rapid fire DA first shot followed by 16 rounds just about as fast as I could "sorta" get back on target. My trigger finger hurts! The heavy pull wasn't that bad it was the double clutching it too to get it to fire that I had issue with. Probably got fingernail gouges in the palm of my support hand! I doubt Cajun Gunsmith can do much about the trigger travel - maybe he can. If not taking some of the heavy outta the pull would go along way in making this a really nice shooter!

    Did you use any of your steel cased ammo?
    Not bad first go 'round with the new pistol. Groups will get tighter with more trigger time.
    @Moonpie he did it! He told a little "white" lie (am I allowed to say that or is it, you know, that thingy?)

    Careful there. The BLM may show up and demand an apology. :what:

    Doug,

    Where did you shoot? Aren’t you in the area NW of Houston, or was that just for your classes? Most ranges I have visited do not allow rapid fire.

    Thanks to you and your previous threads about the CZ75, I have added it to my wish list. I really need to spend less time on this forum. ;)

    No... no steel casing with this go round.

    My range of choice is Marksman's rang on Nebraska St. off of Hwy. 3.

    Rapid fire? Heck there was someone there firing what sounded like a machine gun. Extended rapid fire. Though I've only been there 1/2'a dozen times or so I've yet to see/hear anyone chastised about rapid fire.

    Things I like about the Marksman's Range. Is they're friendly, they don't try to make a buck off of everything they do. The Range itself is so-so I guess. They don't have fancy automatic target positioning equipment. They have a line on the floor for 3 yards, 7 yards and 15 yards(max distance).

    I live on the east side of Houston and this is one of the closest range to me. I went to Agis range off of the beltway but they're expensive, don't allow steel casings, aren't all that friendly.

    They are fine with rapid/auto fire as long as you can control it and don't destroy their stuff.

    I used to shoot the Uzi there all the time.

    You probably did hear a SMG, some of the guys behind the counter own that sort of thing and bring them in to play with.

    Just wanted to come back and add some info and make a comment about my purchases..

    First about my groupings... As I got closer to the 3 hr mark of continually firing/loading/firing... fatigue was starting to impact shot placement. I could feel it. I could see it. Earlier I said I fired 300 rds. Nope... it was 400 rds. I only took one break to stop n' drink a soda while watching others on the range do their thing.

    When I posted about my purchases I indicated I was somewhat skeptical of the claims BNIB and NIB that accompanied the ads for the CZ 75 Phantom SP-01 and the FNS-9C. Wellllll.... after having chased approximately 200 rounds down the barrel of each I can state, with a fair amount of certainty, that both these guns were as the sellers claimed. The wear after 200 rds is obvious. Not shiny metal or abnormal wear - just plain to see they've been fired.

    Okay, I guess I was confused. That range is nearly 40 miles from me. I’ve shot rapid fire and had my share of full auto and three-round bursts at various times and locations. I was just curious about where you were shooting.

    The CZ SP-01 Phantom is a great pistol. I have one. I haven't used it much. I found it to be as accurate as the one shown here.
    I am a CZ fan. I have several. My latest addition is an SP-01 Shadow 2 Orange pistol. Man, it is like holding a piece of sculpture in your hand. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but if it shoots as good as it looks; I will be selling my Phantom.

    Shoot me a PM if you ever want to meet up at Marksman's to shoot, I'm about 15 minutes away and shoot there several times a month. If you're feeling frisky, there's always the dungeon at Pasadena Gun Center...sometimes I go there just to see what the street critters are shooting. I dropped in there this week to test out a CMMG .22lr conversion through one of my pistol uppers.

    Man... that Orange is a piece of art. Might end up owning one myself. When I first read your post I thought you said " Man. It's like holding a piece of SCRIPTURE !" And I thought... yeah, I can see that!

    CGW's can make can improvements to the trigger to the point it feels like a different pistol. They can shorten the pull length somewhat, but they can also make it considerably lighter and with a shorter re-set if that's of interest to you. Good luck.
