Just returned from SS after running 250 rounds of USA Ammo and S&B 9mm through my new CZ75b. All I can attest to is that there is so much built in value and craftsmanship in this firearm that it really should have been my first handgun. A lot of this has been said already about this gun but I believe it's worth repeating from a novice's point of view.

It's built like a tank,heavy at over 2 lbs but not so much as to be readily apparent,fit my rather small hands like a glove and the "combat" sights acquires the target well enough. Muzzle flip is minimal and I find I'm back on target almost immediately. Trigger is not as "Gritty" as I was led to believe out of the box but you still have some creep. It's a pretty gun in a old school sort of way,especially since I sprung for the cool Cocobolo wood grips and I see why the 1911 purists would have an affinity towards this gun, simply because it has a certain presents,unlike some of the "plastic" black guns that even I own.For those of us who are new to the shooting sports and especially handguns, I would highly recommend you shooting the CZ along with the rest and then decide what your first pistol will be. If you can't already tell....I love this gun.

I also had the privilege of shooting Phil's new target Sig, P210 but I'm not worthy.......Yet.

All in all, another good day at the range......

Love those CZs

I have a CZ 75B,40B,40P and an Sp-01 Shadow Target so I am biased.

 

If you like your 75B imagine what it would be like with a competition hammer and reduced mainspring. All my CZ'S have gone to the CZ Custom Shop for those refinements and I can tell you when they come back they are a totally different gun. For the $160 it is well worth it.

 

Now my Shadow Target is already a Custom Shop gun when I bought it and it will punch out a quarter size hole at 25 yards from a rest!

I look forward to continuing a relationship with Angus ,CZ Customs and perhaps owning another CZ firearm but all that is in the future... Quite frankly, I still need to learn to shoot yet.

Very interested in the shadow target, everything ive read about it sounds great. I put in a price request on this forum and two came back said they could nt get it. One said no supply the other said mag restriction.

Glad to hear from another CZ fan. Bought my 75BD about ten years ago (LEGALLY) when I lived in a crummy row house in Baltimore. In the last few years, I've been amused as interest in these guns has skyrocketed. Personally, my CZ has been the only handgun I've kept this long, and I don't ever plan on selling it. Also, it's completely stock.

 

Welcome aboard.

Thank you. I think this is going to be a long term and fruitful relationship.

Pictures? Where did you get it? I think I want one.

I have yet to figure out how to post pictures on this site even with detailed instructions and ...yeah... she's a beauty.

CZ Customs out of Arizona.

Can't wait to join you guys. Ordered a 85b (lefty) a week ago. Hoping it comes together soon. I must have shot/handled 14+ 9mm while waiting for my FID. Keep coming back to the CZ.

Where did you order from? For a gun that gets so much love on the Internet, they sure are hard to find locally.

I ordered from Mastodon. They're a bit far from me, but the only FFL less than 1.5 hours away that would beat or match MSRP. As a bonus I thought I was getting 15 round mags. Turns out there was a clerical error.

 

Funny thing is, the really local guys either charged a ton (one wanted over $700 for a gun that costs $464 on CTD), or claimed they can't get them because of mag restrictions--when clearly CZ offers 10 rounders. One shop did admit that they do so much business with glocks and sigs that it really doesn't make sense for them to stock CZs. I think the price difference reflected their disinterest in special ordering. I guess there just aren't enough light/laser/bayonet/tactical accessories for the good ole steel.

DUPPIE,

THANKS FOR AFFORDING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOOT YOUR NEW CZ. IT'S A WINNER. THE WEIGHT

 

AND BALANCE MAKE IT EASY TO SHOOT AND AS YOU STATED THE TRIGGER IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE

 

OLD CZ'S. GOOD LUCK WITH IT AND CREATE YOURSELF GREAT SHOOTING DAYS WITH IT.

 

SCIG ( PHIL )

Glad you're happy with your CZ!

 

I have 2 CZ's and even though my 75b gets shot more and gets loved a wee bit more than the 97b, I still love them both. CZ makes very nice guns that unfortunately a lot of people overlook.

 

I always speak highly of them because they are a company to be spoken highly of.

No. Thank you for letting me shoot your p210. Now there is a pistol with a singular purpose.Still a lot of breaking in to do, so I'll see you soon at the range.

I'm under the impression that there are so many of the larger on line vendors offering the line rather inexpensively that it's hardly worth it to carry many locally, I recently saw the 75b offered for $421.00 +S&H with 2,10 round mags,which is an excellent price even with transfer and NICS fees, and as I posted before, CZ-USA offers the 15 round mags for $24.99 each + S&H.

But why is it different for CZ than for Glock? At best I think the Glock's are $50 cheaper online. Had I ordered from a very local shop the CZ would have been around $250 more. Another, less local shop $150 more. Seems steep for a sub-$1000 gun (or sub $500 gun online).

 

Meltzer's (I don't mind using their name because I'm not complaining about their prices) told me the last time they had a 75b in the display it sat for almost a year. On the other hand, they can turn over M&Ps or even more expensive H&Ks with relative ease. I suppose its an economy of scale problem.

 

In any event, congrats! Like I said, can't wait to join you. These things just point so well, don't they?

You can order one directly from the CZ Custom Shop or any CZ for that matter. The mag restriction is BS. You can have it shipped with no mags or get the 15 rounders shipped with it instead of the 16 rounders. When I ordered mine from the Custom Shop they shipped it with 15 rounders.

First of all a Glock is not a CZ. Glock is plastic and CZ is metal. Also it costs Glock $45 to manufacture their guns. That's why they are sold cheaper.

I honestly don't know,but while researching the gun I came across perhaps 3 recent posts on other gun forums saying the same thing, that they seemed to be rare in gun shops and somewhat expensive when found as compared to online vendors. The whole 10,15,16 round thing was also another point of discussion but I can assure you the 2 mags I received with the gun are definitely 15 rounders.

Hope you're up and running soon.

I believe you were the one who urged me to ask them to swap out the 10's for the 15's,which they did without hesitation.

Thanks again.

The NJ Firearms Guild on St George Ave in Rahway has 3 or 4 CZ's in the case as of 2 weeks ago.

I ran another 200 rounds through the 75b this afternoon and the trigger is smoothing out and she comes back on target almost immediately. Still shooting left but groups are tighter. Phil at SS is relieved that I'm still in the red at 7+ yards and so am I. Love this gun!!!

Thanks for the encouragement Phil.

SS has a full size stainless CZ in their case that is reeeeeallly nice.

I saw that this weekend. Very nice!!

I love my CZ 75BD, my newest pony in the barn! It definitely is a "point and shoot, and it does the rest" type of pistol. So freakin' accurate, it's scary. I thought that my two Berettas were accurate, but the CZ is a different animal, in a good way. Shh, don't tell my Berettas though, they might get jealous!
