    Default INTRODUCTION 31 year's old, male from Roodepoort Gauteng.

    Hi everyone I'm new to this site, wanted to join because here's a lot of great info and insight available. I've been a firearms enthusiast most of my life and absolutely LOVE shooting. I've had opportunity to shoot with different firearms, however I'm sick and tired now of renting a firearm at a range.

    I've tested a few semi-auto pistols 9mm out and absolutely loved the Beretta 92A1, however then I got an opportunity to shoot with the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow01, I was SOLD although not as sexy as the Beretta 92A1. So unfortunately I've only started the long and agonising process of owning a CZ Shadow01, I've handed in my documents for competency at Roodepoort SAPS and received the SMS
    "Your Competency is receiving attention at the DFO" on the 27/11/2018.

    I was advised to have my first handgun which will be the CZ Shadow01 on self-defense, because I have no motivation for Sport shooting.

    I'm in Roodepoort Gauteng
    and probably love shooting more than you do LOL.
    Please feel free to contact me or share any info regarding holsters, rounds, equipment, gear for the CZ Shadow01or in general for shooting.


    Happy Shooting
    PS: Not sure if I'm allowed to share contact details, as I'm always available for a trip to the range or a shooting buddy.

    Hi.

    What is your intended use for the firearm?

    I’d like to know which genius advised you to get the Shadow as your self defense firearm.

    Welcome to the forum! There is nothing wrong with the CZ but from a self defense standpoint, there are definitely better choices from a concealment and weight perspective.

    Firstly. Welcome... glad to have you and we hope you stick around.

    Secondly: @wezza I think that you might be misinterpreting what this guy is saying.

    Think what he was trying to say was that the gun will be for sports shooting rather than self-defence and that he was advised to apply for a S13 licence rather than S15/S16 licence as it would be easier for him to motivate as a first time gun owner.

    At least that's how I have interpreted it.

    Hi sorry Greekboi95, Wezza and SLR yes primarily I will use the firearm for Sport shooting I doubt that I will ever carry a firearm in public for self-defense as in my own view and opinion I believe it attracts "unwanted" attention etc. As a 1st time owner self-defense is pretty much the only way to go unfortunately, however it has a benefit because in future I can get the "sexy" Beretta 92A1 as a sports shooting pistol.
    Hope that clears it up thanks for all the replies and comments.

    Welcome

    You are unfortunately going to get some pointers and advice. Whoever advised you could have done a better job of it.

    Firstly, it is not correct that one needs these and those qualifications to get a S15 license. A proper motivation gets things done.

    Secondly, it is very possible to carry a firearm concealed to avoid becoming a target. Actually, it is unlawful to carry an open firearm.
