LOL, Pilgrim. I can't do that, but Browning HPs/Inglis made in WWII are still in use. Calm down. Don't take the internet that seriously.
I think you stepped past my point - all firearms have mechanical problems, whether design or by wear, including CZs. The CZ is better than most in the same category - 9mm pistols. Not the best, but pretty good to go by most standards. I don't want to get into a debate between Glock fanboys and CZ fanboys. I just think CZ is a pretty good pistol. There are others.
