First target is 125's off hand at 25yards and the second is the 180 MC strikers at 30 yards. The Rossi shoots really nice and I am totally happy with it. It was a little stiff at firsrt but I put 70 rounds through it and it started cycling a lot better after about 50. Would I buy it again? Yes its a nice light weight good handling rifle. Thanks Randy I really like it.
Site seems to be working OK.
Vaqueros fault.
Vaqueros fault.
Before I left for Texas I bought another CZ. Its there TS2 model and I never had a chance to shoot it before I left.
. Today I had a chance to shoot it with factory remington 115gr 9mm and some handloads of 6.3 gr of HS-6. Ive said this before and I will say it again I am a total CZ Addict. The TS2 is the best shooting 9mm semi auto I have ever shot. Out of the box it just performs. I cant say enough good about all of my CZ's. You pay good money for one and its a rare occasion you will have any issue with one. They just work. First pic is the gun itself and second is the first magazine I put through this gun at about 15 yards. The gun has a red fiber optic front sight and is single action with about a 2lb trigger pull. I love how it shoots
Ok title of the thread says Vaquero's fault. Yeah it is. I saw that 357 R95 Rossi and I really liked how it looked. Well I decided to buy one and Im impressed with it. The gun shoots 180gr MC strikers really well along with 125gr flat point Zero bullets. The strikers had the same 11.5gr load of 2400 under them and the 125s had about 5.6gr of 231 under them .

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Looks like you had a fun day today at the range.
I'm not much of a 9mm fan either, I do still own a couple but rarely shoot them.
Heck I even gave one to one of the daughters.
Glad you like the Rossi as I said earlier today.
Mine shot well until the woes that you know about.
Mine was also a bit stiff, especially compared to the one I got the month earlier in 444.
Hope it brings you much joy and many a year of it.
Maybe when I get mine back we can do some comparisons.

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Those are two good looking firearms you have there, and both seem to perform well for you too.
Even better!

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Those blue grip panels on the TS 2 are really good looking. Nice shooting with all and I agree with your assessment of the CZ’s. I have only one CZ pistol but it has become my favorite semi auto.
Re: Vaqueros fault.
Check LOK Grips Mike they make those grips for a lot of guns. You might find some there you like.

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Yep those Rossi R95's are great shooters right out the box. Mine in 45-70 was really slick and smooth cycling the lever. Great deal for the price!Looks like you had that steel talkin' Al!

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Great shooting Al. I've never shot a CZ. I appreciate your thoughts on them. I like the Rossi's looks.

Re: Vaqueros fault.
Thanks Dave. Curious of your thoughts if you ever get a chance to shoot one. Since you are one who has probably put a few rounds through various types of handguns. The CZ 75B was my first CZ I shot. I now own a CZ P09 in a 5 inch barrel a CZ Sp-01 Tactical and the one in this thread. Hopefully you get a chance to try one out sometime.daytime dave wrote: ↑Fri Apr 18, 2025 11:36 amGreat shooting Al. I've never shot a CZ. I appreciate your thoughts on them. I like the Rossi's looks.
