CZ P-01 warning!

Guys, if you buy a new CZ be sure to clean the magazines, i had 5 FTF in the first 30 rounds, i'm saying to myself i can't believe this ****. Then, I noticed oil oozing out of the magazines, I proceeded to break them down, and low and behold they were full of the same oil CZ ships their pistols in. I thoroughly cleaned the gun before the range session, did'nt think about the mags. After cleaning that oily mess out of them and 120 rounds later no problems. I must say the P-01 is a nice shooter.

Yeah, CZ and RIA seem to be doing an "oil dip and soak" on their guns then slapping them right into the shipping bags lately

Every CZ I've ever purchased has been shipped dripping in oil. It takes a lot of elbow grease to clean the gun to working condition. I recently purchased a Sig that was the same way. Is anyone shipping a dry gun anymore?

Yup, old Smith & Wesson is still shipping theirs in a box, not a barrel of oil.
What's the deal, is CZ sales that slow, that they have to be sure the product doesn't rust before it get's shipped?
Seriously, I sure like the looks of the CZ, don't own one yet.

I think CZ has always packaged them in oil. With the price of crude dropping, I fear we'll get more oil, not less, with our CZs in the future.
