Bill,
A local shop had a sale on these and I got to handle them a bit. Didn't get to fire one, but got a few mins to inspect, dry fire etc. After that trip to the shop I looked them up online. I saw they make a select fire version similar to the Glock 18. To me, that says the pistol may have more merit than some of the other value pistols offered in the states. Of course we'll never see the full auto version here.

From what I can tell they seem like a value built DAO semi auto. Trigger pull was heavy as one would expect, but it didn't come across as cheap garbage like a Lorcin or a Jennings/Bryco.

I have no idea about reliability as I couldn't find anyone who had fired them. One of my concerns is that the company is in Turkey and I don't know what their customer service would be like.

If you find a price too good to pass up, give it a try and let us know.

ETA: Did you already buy it Bill?

[bfox]

Right. As in Double Action Only just like the Glock and XDm right? If I remember you can't cock the hammer-fire single action.

[bfox]

I thought they were traditional double action .
Guess I will find out soon enough .

20 rounds? Cool! Looks like the hammer stays back, too. I wonder how fat the grip is. Probably no worse than my G21.

[MullahElRon]

Do they come with a fez?

[CZ93X62]

Mullah--

They are jellaba-optional, I believe.......no word on the fez upgrade.

[bfox]

Fez is optional . :(
But she delivers the pistol !:newyear:

Must refrain from making Muslim comment...

In Georgia, the Shriners must ride in parades on lawnmowers instead of motorcycles like everywhere else.

I apologize for wrecking this thread. Honest. Back to topic please, Joe.

Thumb safety. GAH why are more and more mfgs adding the darned things!?

Wonder how much their 1911 is...

Either way, I'll give a thumbs-up for more gun companies - in America, or elsewhere.

Too bad our Turkish emmigrant/immigrant couldn't have done a gun review over there for us! :)

BTW...the fez comment cracked me up! :animlol:

[selzbytes]

Hmmm - looks kinda Sig 226ish. Squint your eyes, add thumb saftey, cool oval ports, etc..... Anyone else see same or am I crazy?
