The Czechmate comes in a suitcase box loaded with accessories. Having said this, for your $3K you get a lot more than just a gun. It’s not as good as the guns the winners use those guns probably would cost as much as three times the price of the Czechmate, and it’s not an inexpensive gun at just one cent less than $3,000. There are only a few companies that offer this type of gun, and the CZ is probably the lowest priced for what you get. Affordable PerformanceĪs pistols go, the Czechmate is about as serious as you can go with an out-of-the-box competition gun. I tried a couple of other guns and I’m committed to shooting the Czechmate. I was amazed at its performance, and I decided then to try the 2013 Bianchi with an Open Class gun. Iain Harrison offered me his 1911 race gun to try, just for fun on a plate range. I’ve shot the Cup twice, once with a Metallic Class gun and once in Production. At SHOT Show, this January, I was looking for the gun I wanted to shoot in the Bianchi Cup this year. On the other side of this are the few guns that are simply surprisingly good. I’m occasionally surprised, but most of the guns I test are pretty good. There’s a reason for this I’ve been shooting for more than 40 years, and I have a pretty good track record for passing by the losers without the trouble of spending time with them. I review a lot of guns and I rarely review a loser.

When it comes to performance and price, there are few competition handguns that have shot against the CZ Czechmate.
