Wasn't too difficult. Took a couple tries to get the combo set. IMG_20231031_154031317.jpg

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago..it’s a CZ75 D Compact. It confused me because it’s a P01 frame and I thought the frame and slide were mismatched but they both have the same serial number.
Apparently the P01 is for the American market and the 75d compact is the exact same gun for the foreign market..it’s kinda weird.
It was so cruddy and full of carbon that it hung up when manually cycling it.
I cleaned it up pretty thoroughly, relubed it and put these crazy “Cobra” lok grips I got with a trade a while ago on it. Time to shoot!

You need the a-10 to complete this. It would make a heck of a commuter vehicle.

I'm in a long recuperation from surgery,,,
So I can't go to the range for a while.

But, my monthly ammo allowance is building up,,,
So I am ordering ammo to be ready for the Spring season.

1,000 rounds of 9mm FMJ,,,
240 rounds of 7.62 x 39 for my friends SKS,,,
50 rounds each of HP for .32 ACP, .380 ACP, .38 Special, 9mm,,,
Just because they had it, 50 rounds of 8mm Lebel for my 1892 French revolver,,,
And just to put me over the minimum for free shipping, two 20 round boxes of 8mm Mauser.

I might order 5,000 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity,,,
Because I sense another price jump to happen real soon now.

I like to have a minimum amount of each caliber ammo I use,,,
The number is quite arbitrary and just reflects what I might shoot in a years time.

I call it a "Bench Stock" amount,,,
My norm for centerfire is a 3-year shooting supply.

For .22 LR ammo,,,
I like having a LOT more than that.

A few years back a friend wanted to buy .22 rifles for his two kids,,,
But he was reluctant because he could find the rifles,,,
But he couldn't find ammo to purchase,,,
More than 3 boxes at a time.

But since I had over 60,000 rounds squirreled away,,,
I loaned him 5,000 rounds to be replaced,,,
Which he did about 2 years later.

Once I reach that bench stock amount,,,
I only replace it as I use it up.

I like having 3,000 rounds on-hand for my 9mm,,,
When I open a 500 round pack of it,,,
I order another one to replenish.

I never want to repeat those Obama summers,,,
Where I was scrambling to find one box of .22 LR ammo.

I remember seeing push-shove matches at Wal Mart,,,
All over a 550 round bulk pack of Federal.

Never again.
