Great shoot'n! Knew you'd enjoy that gun. CZ grips, like Sigs are just a little too big for me. But glad you can handle this one well!

How was the trigger pull?
 
I got a 75B Blued in 9x19 a year and a half ago for a range gun to
lower cost as I shoot .45s - 1911 and 625 The CZ 75B I cleaned up the
shipping goo from the factory off of it, lubed i and then shot every type
of 9x19 I could find - zero glitches 680 rds finally cleaned it
satisfied it's a reliable platform - and silly accurate. Great handgun

The only problem that I have found with my CZ is that I could not own just one.......:what:. As others will say, "They have a tendency to breed in your safe".

Nice shooting. Don't have a satin yet. Yet............:rolleyes:
 
Butter,

The trigger was long as usual in double action, but not too bad at all in single. I am going to shoot it a while then send it off to CZ for a trigger job. I've read alot about their trigger jobs, all good!

The bad guy target has double and triple taps. Not bad for a first range trip, it can only get better. :cool:

Get the thin aluminum grips from CZ Custom. They're expensive ($85) but worth it IMO. Made a huge difference for me when handling the gun. Feels as thin as a 1911.

Thanks, but I don't want my gun grips to be thin. I have long hands and appreciate the bigger grips. I'm getting the wrap arounds with finger grooves from hogue. :)
 
Hey, but the alumina grips might be something I can get into if I pick up a CZ. Still.....double action.....hmmm. Nothing like the trigger on a 1911. :) But cool go'n Brian. I think you got a winner!
 
That's good shooting and I'm sure you're going to love that 75B. I shoot almost all cast bullets in mine and I've found that this is an excellent load: 124 grain Lee round nose bullet sized to .357" over 5.2 grains of 4756 powder and a standard primer. Total cartridge length is 1.135". At 23 yards I can keep most of my shots on a Coke can and those that miss are very close.
 
I really like those grips. Wish I could try some out to see if I liked them before deciding to buy.
 
Nice shooting. Bet you buy another whilst yours is getting its trigger job!

Those thin grips look interesting, but $85 is a bit of a pop if I don't like them.
 
tekarra,

Maybe someone will send us a set of grips to try out before we buy........they could also send the gun that they are attached to........:rolleyes:
 
Now it's time to get a Kadet kit.

Install a 15# hammer spring while you're at it. Really lightens up the DA trigger pull and doesn't affect primer hits.
 
tekarra,

No grips in the mail box today.......will check again Monday. Surely someone will send some soon..............
 
My Compact is a pretty good shooter. The group below was fired before I installed the F.O. front sight and I can't get as good of a group with the fiber optics.

Five shots at 7 yards, offhand:

The one showing the aluminum grips is a Single action model
CZ75B SA Nice pistol ...I have one as I dont like DA either
 
Interesting, I too took a new (to me) CZ-75b to the range for the first time this weekend. I am not as consistent as the OP but had plenty of dead-on shots on some very unlucky cans and water bottles.

Did have some FTE's with Federal ammo, some cases showing a lot of blow-by. Are CZ75b's finicky with ammo? Is there perhaps another issue at hand? thanks!
 
I will change things on it over time, but for a first time out this pistol did great!

I plan on sending it in for the comp trigger eventually and I'm getting the hogue grips. :cool:
 
Col. Pink,

I have a CZ SP-01 converted to .40 (basically the same thing you have). Mine is dead on reliable. I reload, and have used 170 LSWC's, 220 gn TC lead bullets, and 180 JHP's. The only change I have made to mine is a lighter recoil spring.

Ejection of the cases is how I determine the recoil spring selection. I look for the empties to be 4-6 feet away. If they drop at your feet, or only go a foot or 2, you need a lighter recoil spring for the load your using.
