Bud's has a bunch of cheap 75s, 85s, and 70s in various conditions for < $300.
I've never shot one. Most of my handguns are Glocks, with one 1911 I got recently and have learned to like after hating 1911s for years. If I were to impulse buy a CZ, what should I get? |
|
Get a 75. You gotta have a CZ75 In your collection.
I just picked up an 85. |
|
Looks like the 85s sold out overnight.
Is that a decent deal on the 75s? They look pretty tired cosmetically. |
|
You wait much longer the 75s will be gone too. They look beat on the outside, but might only have a few hundred rds fired. Or 50k rds. No way to tell going off a pic, but typical euro cop trade in will be shot little, carried a lot.
300 is a bit much, without knowing. You can't find a better one used for a bit more? |
|
That is a great deal. I recently picked up a couple that were worn outside but were like new internally. Had the local shop Ceracote them in 2 tone. Look like new.
They have the compacts, the pics aren't shown but they are $269. That is a smoking deal. |

View Quote I wasn't/am not in the market for a CZ75 -- it's not like I've been looking for one. I just know people tend to really like the CZ75, and I saw these pop up on Slickguns last night. I guess what I'm asking is whether or not it's a "buy now or you'll regret missing it!" type deal, or just a "decent deal if you were in the market". |
|
My experience with CZ has been good, I shoot the 75 a lot. They can take a lot of rounds, I gave my brother one I had an honest 10k thru, and most of that was the cheep wolf ammo. It still shoots well.
Those deals pop up often enough. The imports like that are usually 300, but there are some good deals on used ones to be found too. |

Buying these through Buds, there is no guarantee that the picture is what you get correct? I want to get a round trigger guard CZ75 Pre-B but I could end up with a later model with the square guard, correct?

Mine came in today labeled as "good" however paper inside the box states "fair" n came in today. It's a Model 75, :) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/27044715506_517fec4e6f_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7552/27044706296_fd33ee6a81_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7291/27044697716_2f5d2f7971_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7638/27044692036_8ec5f3afce_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/26983288702_8f980bdae3_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7242/27044685716_090295c2f9_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7279/26803512010_304a18cda4_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/26803504750_c3feb3f18f_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7256/26803507440_e2a5451c6e_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7414/27009337281_b0982a1d13_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7738/26803494350_7cfa8f4d1e_b.jpg Gun is in decent shape. I'd say between fair and good. Only gripe is the mag is next to impossible to take out of the gun without a firm grip and pull. Needs cleaning inside to possibly remedy the issue. Otherwise, if you guys want more pics of specific areas let me know, or have questions. View Quote Looks great, I wish they had more of these. I almost ordered the poor condition CZ75 PreB from Buds today, but I'm going to hold out for a nicer example. They have a fair condition CZ75 Compact for $279, but no picture. Hard to pull the trigger if there is not even a rough picture of the firearm. |

I tossed as bid on a 5906 at the same time I posted this thread. Depending on the outcome of that auction (and available stock), I may order one of these 75s tomorrow.

Doy you guys think the CZ75 Compact that Buds has are manual safety or Decocker? Alloy or Steel frame?
Used Interarms Surplus CZ 75 Compact 9mm 14+1 Fair I'm guessing that they are most likely steel frame and safety? |

If I wasn't saving my money up for one of the new P01's I'd have ordered one of those two tone CZ 75's. Looked rough, but parts are easy to get and refinishing would result in a super nice looking pistol.

Pics of the "Fair" condition CZ75D I got from Buds. I am saying Exterior is Good to Very Good. The inside is like new. I took it down and couldn't see much if any wear. I did replace the original grips with rubber and cut off the lanyard ring.

I ordered one of the 'fair' 85. I'll post some pics when I pick it up tomorrow.

I went into the Buds storefront today - had 1 CZ75 compact - appeared to be steel frame with decocker. Listed as fair condition - I would disagree - looked in poor condition. Lots of finish wear and pitting on the frame as well as some pitting in the barrel. Must have been all that was left

So, question on these:
Am I interpreting correctly from what I am finding on the net that the magazines for the Jerichos and the CZ-75's are interchangeable? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Well, pulled the trigger on a CZ75 from Buds. It will be my first CZ handgun.

Got mine today. The left side grip screw was way out of the gun. It seems to have been an ill thought out repair to a crack in the top of the grip. There also seems to be some kind of a glue like substance under the grip. Possibly part of the same repair. Oh well, I was planning on getting different grips anyway.
Other than the aforementioned issues I like it. Some holster wear, definetly used but not abused. Love the pre B trigger. Much nicer than the Omega on my other 75. After seeing if it works I plan to have it cerakoted in titanium color. Just one thing though, it says made in the Czech Republic. It's a pre B but takes Normal mags, almost drops free and has a round hammer not a spur. There is a small 94 engraved on the slide right behind the ejection port. Does that mean this was made in 1994? That was a pretty good year for me. I have also heard that older CZ 75s were made out of a higher quality steel than later ones. Is there anything to this? my source was a tad spotty. |

They do not have the firing pin block so they truly are are Pre Bs with differences from the original Pre B model that don't affect function. One of the qualities of the CZ 75 was that they used no MIM parts. To the best of my knowledge that still holds true with the exception of the Omega trigger pistols which includes the P07 and P09. Angus Hobdell of CZ Custom has spoken on the topic a few times and unless you're buying an Omega pistol, the build quality shouldn't be much different. |

I got an 85. Similar condition as others in the thread. I field stripped it and took the slide components apart. Temporarily lost the firing pin.
Can anyone explain how to get that firing pin back in and get the retention plate back on? |

Two issues with mine after first range session.
Trigger pin walked out on me. Mag kept ejecting. I think the mag problem was because of the cracked grips. Replacement set arrives tomorrow. Accuracy is superb. My FFL said that it might be the nicest double single trigger he has ever shot. Any suggestions on how to resolve the trigger pin issue? |
