    I used CZ in the same way as I would use SA made meaning South Africa, UK United Kingdom or USA meaning the United States of America.

    Then say it's Czech made, it avoids confusion. I've seen more than one person say certain ammo is made by CZ just because it's Czech made.

    An average of 750 rounds per gun in 1,5 years will not really tell you much, except that you shoot way to little.

    Just a quick update.

    I bite the bullet and bought a Glock 19 gen 5 two months ago, did the motivation and handed everything in at my DFO. My application is on day 26 today, if all goes well I will have a nice Christmas present.

    PS: That's a joke.

    The guy at the shoot's Glock probably gave issues because he used cheap, shit ammunition. Like feeding your brand new Hilux the cheapest tractor diesel you can find and then getting upset when the injectors get blocked up. Feed your Glock the right ammo, treat it right and it'll go bang, each time, every time, most probably long past your lifetime.
    ^^^This.

    I have been running Glocks (different models and different generations) since around 1996 and all of them (including my G26 (Gen 2.5) are still running very well.
