i would still look at the cz, i know shanster had some trouble with one

but here in europe they are considered very good for the price and a lot of costum jobs use the 550 lockwork as a basis. just stay away from the pigback stock that will hurt you every time you pull the trigger.

price wice it groups with the american makes and the cheap italian guns. but they can stand a lot more abuse and still keep on shooting. if you want it to be real fun they make them in 505 gibbs now
