North trail sports...(in the dealer network)...top notch guys to deal with.

- Do NOT buy alum cased ammo, CZs hate it, and it's not reloadable.

- Start picking up your (and others') brass. Ask permission if picking up others' brass, it's their property till they refuse it.
You will use the brass later when you start reloading. It'll be once fired brass too.

I like Blazer and CCI brass a lot, followed by Federal and S&B, followed by Win. Winchester brass will live longer thou.

Its really smoky and dirty

I do find it a bit dirty, but i can't say i've noticed it being smoky......fired about 3500 of it.

I also use Frog Lube, so dirty ammo doesn't matter much. Pistol just wipes clean.......love that Frog.

That's a nice looking CZ!

I believe CZ uses S&B to test there pistols!

+1 to this. I tried the aluminum blazer in my SAM and it gummed the chamber up so bad it wouldn't feed. I even had the extractor tear through the rim of one cartridge and leave a fired casing in the chamber. Had to beat it out with a cleaning rod, ended my day until I could break it down and clean it out. The aluminum cases leave residue in the chamber. Stay away! It isn't that much more for brass. I like the AE 124g.

I havent shot a lot with my 85 but the S&B 124 was the most accurate, I've shot some remington 147 that was very smoky, reloaded shot fine.
