"Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
I had a cz24 in .380 that I really liked; bought it from a retired cop for $50, had it for a couple years, and sold it at a gun show for a good profit. It was very accurate. I was surprised how accurate a .380 could be. Mine was Waffenampt, but was all blued.

Nice-looking rig. I have one very similar. You can see my pictures in this forum on the next page in the topic titled "cz27".
I love the weapon. It's a great shooter, and is very accurate. Good luck, and enjoy it!
A few differences I note. Your grips, as are most, are cracked. Mine, thankfully, are not, but do not have the CZ logos. Not sure if it came that way or if they just wore off. I have the right side serial number where yours does not. Of course the holsters are different, and you have that nice marking on the top of the slide that mine lacks. I also see that your left side access panel, which exposes more of the trigger and hammer mechanism, looks to be screwed on. Mine just slides up and out-of-the-way.
