revchuck Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Just thought it was kind of cool This is, of course, from a guy who's owned a couple percent of them at one time or another.

Carlos Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Holy cow! That gun did not even exist before 1975 and you rarely saw them on this side of the Iron Curtain before 1989 or so - and yet they've made a million of them? They've been busy. If you include clones, how many have they made following that pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 That's pretty amazing... It's a testament to how good/reliable the gun is. Anything that was bad could never have sold a million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisStock Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm a recent convert to the CZ camp by way of SP01 custom shop. It deserves it reputation for sure from what I've seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 That's pretty amazing... It's a testament to how good/reliable the gun is. Anything that was bad could never have sold a million. Have you ever heard of McDonald's? McDonald's is just like a good service gun. No bells and whistles, you know what you're getting and they are consistant. I think the comparison is a good one. I just look at McD's more as a business. Personally I would have compared McDonald's to Glock........ Damn! I'm already being pelted with rotten fruit.
