Another cold war Commie delight followed me home

[SA1911a1]

I have been on a .32 ACP tear lately. This CZ Vzor 70 made in 1971, found a new home today, it has been used hard on the outside, but it is like new on the inside, carried a lot, shot a little. I guess this the the Czech answer to the Walther PP, or the Hungarian PA-63, but it is a lot better quality than the Hungarian pistol. I had several PA-63s and an SMC-380, I was glad when I got rid of all of them.

I cleaned it up an took it out for some test firing and it did great. This is a double/single action pistol; the single action trigger is nice, the double action pulls like a Nagant..... A lot of people around the web complain about all kinds of stoppages with these (probably related to magazines) but this on did fine. The magazine is probably a reproduction and that may be why I had no issues. This pistol fits a Makarov holster, that I had in my holster box, like a glove so that is what it will wear. I am liking the .32s, for what they lack in stopping power they make up for in how well you can keep them on target, recoil is negligible.

This is a nice mate to go with the Zastava M-70 . I really need to get me a Russian made Makarov, but they have become very spendy lately. I had one with the Micky Mouse add on adjustable sights, but I let it go some time ago.

I need a "new" .32. That looks like a good candidate. Nice snag.
