in general the cz-75 is similar to a hi-power, both in reliablity and accuracy. i own both and i like the cz-75 more because of its more comfortable grip and higher capacity mag. i used to own a berrata 92F. my cz-75 shot circles around it. be wary of later military cz's and cz's with the baked on enamel finish. the current cz-75's from CZUSA are pretty nice with a decent finish. CDNN carries high-caps that cost about the same as beretta mags.(35-40 bucks)

Picked up a CZ-85 combat a few years ago. It had the wood grips and adjustable sight. I also picked up all the extra hi-caps he had for $10 each...everything was NIB. I was in love, it was accurate, ergonomic, the whole bit. Finally got the opportunity to wring it out with some mixed hollow points...and they all got caught 1/2 way on the feed ramp, the hollow point wrapped around the bottom edge...not good. I'm not shy about working on my own stuff, but gave up on this one as defensive weapon. Granted, Ive never heard that complaint before or since, just my experience. It was all blue, no paint.

IMHO, most of hype about CZ-75's are generated back in the days when you can't import them. and there are only a few to go around. Ever since the fall of Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet Union, the supply has gotten a lot better. Heck, Czech Republic is now a member of NATO, who would imagine that 20 years ago. Back to the gun, if you want a CZ-75, get a Sphinx. The Sphinx is a license produced version of the CZ-75 made in Switzerland, the fit and finish is way superior to the CZ model and you can't go wrong with the Swiss worksmanship.

I have a new (less than a year) 9mm CZ75B, and it has no problem eating Federal Hydra-Shoks, Remington Golden-Sabres, or Speer Gold Dots. These HP bullets have pretty large front cavities and sharp mouths, and if they didn't have feed problems, I can't imagine what would.
Having compared the CZ75 to a Beretta 92 and Taurus, I much prefer the CZ75. It has the best double-action trigger I've ever used in a factory gun. Overall, they are an incredible bargain. -Troy |

Don't know about the current crop. Back when they were exotic imports, friend let me shoot one. It was accurate, but not world class. Thing I liked most about it was the glass smooth DA trigger pull, like a well used Smith & Wesson (before that marque became anethma)...
Couldn't believe that a DA semi was that smooth and he swore that it was out of the box...whether he was ferret-legging me or things have changed, well, you'll just have to find out for yourself. |

My brother bought a CZ75B a year ago. He is very satisfied with it. It is very reliable, the finish is good and the results on the target are not much worser than the ones I shoot with my Sig. It doesn't have a decocking lever but that is no problem - you can easy decock it with your thumb. And you can wear it cocked and locked! Buy one!!
