    They are an excellent choice. The hi capacity magazines are the only drawback to owning one as they are for the most part impossible to find.I collect CZ & BRNO arms & if you do want one I would advise you to try to find an older gun. Like one that was imported by Action Arms or Magnum Research.Right now Forrest Co.(520-210-7900)has aftermarket .380 mags for 29.50.They are hi-caps made by Western Metal Products.

    I sell CZ. Hearty ditto on Czechmate's opinion. Beats Walther PP series, and Sigs P230/232.Have OEM mags readily available at all times. E-mail jabsao@msn.com.
    Happy Bullet Holes!

    Wow, nice to know I'm making the right choice. Better than a PP or 232!? Even better, I found a guy selling NIB (with two 10-rounders) for $219 delivered! Best price I've ever seen. Are the Western Mags. good quality? Thanks for you input.

    One suggestion relative to the CZ.If you use Gunscrubber or a similar product to clean it, TAKE THE GRIPS OFF FIRST, and put them across the room.Gunscrubber melts most European plastic, including Walther grips.

    Yeah, I learned that the hard way with a little PPK clone made by FEG. I used a bore cleaner on it, much too liberally. Some got on the grips and messed them. Literally melted the texture off. Good advice.
