Re: CZ-70 .32 ACP Czech Police 1977

I have not had that model, but have owned a few CZ's over the years, and never had a problem with any of them. The .32, I believe has better stopping power than the .22, however, with either of these...

It is difficult to shoot accurately. It is fun to shoot, and with practice, I feel it can be point shoot accurate easily to 7 yards.

Good suggestions, which I did initially. I wonder if I shoot the reloads that do fit, and keep them seperate and reload them for the Smith only if they will fit properly then? Something I will try.

I would save it for practice only, and buy some Winchester or Remington to see if they have the same problem. They probably won't. If the do then there is probably a problem with the gun.

Eight of the nine .380's had failures to feed. Their test P3AT was "prone to malfunction with several kinds of ammunition".
Their Rohrbaugh test gun was the one that did not malfunction.
