A CZ Thread

[DrBoomBoom]

I've had a 75B for almost a year, bought it used. The first two or thee hundred rounds I had a few FTE's and FTF's. After that, it's had at least 1,200 more rounds through it and only had one hiccup which probably was the ammo. Tap and rack and it kept running.

It had Wolff springs and a trigger job before I got it. Also Wolff springs in the magazine.

I carry it in a FIST IWB if the weather is cool. Then it uses Pow'rball, 20 rounds of which it ate like cornflakes. The 75B is a little hard to conceal, but a good fall jacket hides it...can't make it disappear in a t-shirt or dress shirt.

Nice gun.

I'm a certified CZJunkie.

I currently own 7 CZ's or Tanfoglio clones and have owned 4 other ones at one time or another. Great ergonomics, accurate, and reliable with many different types of ammo and my handloads. I usually carry either a PCR or my "96" CZ75B in a HBE holster. I've also carried a CZ40B on occasion.

The best thing about the different CZ/Tanfoglio designs are the choices you're offered in calibers, ability to carry C&L or DA, and variety of different guns from range queens to competition, all in a package that is usually easier on the wallet then other pistol designs.

CZ is one of the largest firearms manufactures in the world.
BRNO and CZ are the same outfit.
Military sales are huge, the 75b is the most widely issued handgun in the world.
CZ stands for Cheska Zobrovka, literally "Czech Armory".
They even own the iron mine from which their steel is produced!

I'd put my 97b .45 up against any other .45 out there, including Keeblers, er, I mean Kimbers, SA's, whatever, in any catagory ie accuracy, reliability.

Actually, BRNO and CZUB are sister companies, but not together.They were part of the same state conglomerate during the commie years, but privatisation hath split them asunder, back in '88. CZUB was established as a private stock issuing company in '92.
CZ does make the best pistol for me...wishing to see a PO1 in 40, a CZ75B in 357SiG, 10MM, and 45ACP, plus a CZ97 in 10MM, maybe even in something wild, like 50AE... Not to mention CZ-USA setting up a production line at the Dan Wesson plant for a civvie legal semi-auto vZ-58 clone...

The only thing I do not like about my PCR is the fact that I can not lock back the slide. Other than that it is about perfect.

Sadly, I've never shot a CZ before but from all the praise i hear about them, it makes me want to shoot one really bad. who knows, i may be a future CZ lover.

FireArmFan,

Go shoot one. The only problem is, there are no if's, and's, or but's....Once you shoot one, you WILL be a CZ lover.

 

[MikePGS]

Can you use the .22 modification barrel on a CZ 75 compact, or does it only work on the full-sized guns?

 

[PythonFan]

Yes, the Kadet kit will work on the compact as well.

I'm just glad I didn't buy my PCR and Kadet Kit earlier, otherwise my collection would be considerably smaller. In 9 mm or .22 this unit has been totally 100% and is way more accurate than me. The ergonomics are perfect and I think it's a really nice looking shooter. I'd like to put some nice wooden grips on it but the stock rubber grips just feel too good.

Accessory options aren't great but the Fist leather IWB holster I bought for an SA-XD9 works better with the CZ than it did for the XD.

Mine does seem to be a bit low on economy. The rounds/hour rate is way higher than any other handgun I own.

I think every CZ owner should own a Kadet Kit. It's easily one of the most fun/cost efficient ways to get to the range and put a whole lotta rounds downrange.
