CZ 85B: A little disappointed

[HighVelocity]

Disappointed that I waited so long to get one!

Purchased an NIB 85B (thanks Omega) and finally got a chance to degrease it and take it to the firing line yesterday.
I loaded the first mag with 5 rounds of WWB and set the target at 7 yards. Then THIS happened:

About 15 years ago I had a pre B CZ 75 but I don't recall it shooting like this. I spent several hours at the range and put about 200 rounds of various ammo through (including some +P) the 85 without a single malfunction.

This one is definitely a keeper.

I understand the happiness. I have a 75BSA ... anytime I feel down about my shooting I take it out and become "good" again. These area ver yfine guns, and that price from Omega was unreal...congrats on a great deal and gun!

Happiness is a warm CZ.
I know exactly what you speak of - I shot my Dept POST qualification series at the local indoor with a brand new out of the box CZ PCR, and scored a "possible". CZs ROCK!

Cheer up. The groups will IMPROVE once it breaks in

Oh, the horror! It groups all of half an inch to the left! It's a piece of junk! You'll never be happy with it! I volunteer to take it off your hands at absolutely no cost to you! Send it to me before you lose anymore sleep!

I could live with groups like that. Would you consider that MOF (minute of felon)? CZs are disgustingly accurate right out of the box anyway, you just have to get used to small groups, I have.

crikey, my 85 is en route, I can't wait to get it, especially now!

Congrats on the new pistol. I have a P-01 and it really surprised me how accurate it was. Fits the hand nicely as well.

 

[Marshall]

If I buy a Full size CZ, the 85 Combat or the 75SA will be the one. Congrats! Look to be doing you well.

Poor target.

 

[Trip20]

Wow... Nice shootin'! Do they make the 85B in stainless? I'm a lefty and want one bad... but really would like a stainless model if possible.

That would be the reason I love CZ's somuch and have so many of them
