One of the things I like most about firearms is how long they last when looked after well. Sami writes …

CZ 75 made in Czechoslovakia in late 1980s. Customizations are from same period: Rubber grips from Browning High-Power, Millet sights and trigger modification to make it single-action only. Nickel surface treatment has been surprisingly durable: The gun was my IPSC and army reservists’ 3gun competition gun for 15 years and after that it has served as practice gun with Kadet kit for nine years. Surface still looks like new. Not bad considering that especially during 3gun competitions it had to face all weather and environment conditions Finland has to offer.

Thanks Sami!
