Picked up my new CZ75D PCR this morning. Of course first thing to do is to field strip, lubricate, de-burr, inspect, test with dummy rounds & snap caps, This I do with every new to me pistol, new or used.
The pistol impressed me. First, it was well and properly lubricated. No excess anywhere, but light grease where it was needed.
The feed ramp needed no work, it was nicely polished and very smooth. Lock up was tight with ever so slight movement of the barrel in lockup at the front. (perhaps 0.001.5")
Trigger pull was heavy and gritty, in full DA (hammer all the way down) then after perhaps 50 dry fires with a snap cap, it smoothed out and was just a bit heavy. DA pull after a de-cock, (note, CZ 75 pistols de-cock to the half cock notch about 30% back from all the way down.) improved greatly also. Still a bit heavy, but no worse than my S&W revolvers. SA trigger pull started out heavy & gritty and again after perhaps 100 dry fires with a snap cap it smoothed out and was much lighter and cleaner, not a 1911 trigger but pretty good, now 4 1/2 lbs. Feeding with dummy ammo was flawless, even when I deliberately slowed down the slide.
Pistol weight with loaded 15 rd mag +1 was 35 oz. The same as my aluminum frame Springfield compact 1911 with 8+1.
Sights seem to be OK, tomorrow will tell when I take it to my local range with a couple of boxes of ammo.
The pistol fits my hand like my Browning hi powers did but without pinching my trigger finger, controls are readily accessed but still a bit stiff, I assume they will smooth out with a few hundred rounds through the pistol.
Overall, I am a bit impressed and pleased so far. It I can perforate tne center of my targets tomorrow with it, I will be highly pleased.
Many changes to come in the near future as I work on this soon to be EDC pistol.
