New to the forum and looking to buy my first CZ. Settled on a TSO in 9mm (#91261), but surprised and frustrated that if I can find one the price is MSRP + shipping + tax/transfer fees so basically about $1900. I see OOS prices as low as $1510.
1. Did these ever sell as low as $1510? If so what's my best plan of attack?
2. Is there a pattern/rhythm to these hitting US shores? i.e. every 6 months and it's been 3 months since the last batch
3. My frustration makes me keep looking at a 9mm EAA Witness Elite Limited (in stock and significantly cheaper) but I feel like it would instantly need a trigger job for me to be happy, and it doesn't hold as many rounds, and I want a gun I'll be proud to own. Thoughts?
Background: I?m a Master-classified USPSA shooter, and have shifted to DMR and PRS competitions. When I stopped shooting USPSA I sold all my hi-cap handguns. I now want a competitive, all-steel, high-quality, SA-only 9mm handgun that is reasonably priced, and preferably not a 1911 just to shake things up. I always loved the feel & design of the CZ-75?s, plus every CZ I?ve handled oozed quality. The TSO will be used for 2-gun comps (rifle and pistol), and Precision Rifle matches (they sometimes require a handgun). I may also shoot the occasional USPSA match in Limited minor. I enjoy running quality machinery!
