I dig it!
The CZ 75 is one of those guns that kind of triggers me a bit, but in the wrong way. It's like they built a pretty sweet looking hotrod, but put shitty rims on it. I think the philips head grip screw ruins the whole look of the gun, and it was the major reason that kept me from buying a CZ 75. I have a 27, had a 52, and had a CZ70. The 75 always remained one of those guns I'd look at, think about, and then ultimately pass over. Last year I was in the shop picking up something else, and the dealer had a 75 D compact in the case. I paid 4 bills for it on the spot. Mine was made in 2018 and was sold as unfired. I'm not crazy about the grips, but at least there is no offending screw. I like the gun enough that I'd probably buy a full-sized one should I run across one.  Attached File |

I want to order some tonight. Thank you in advance. Not intended to hijack OP, forgive me. @savage_winchester For the PCR, I would go with the 19-round mags for reloads. Do a search for “CZ-75B Meg-Gar 19 round magazines”. I did a search for all the reputable vendors and Sportsmansguide.com has the best price. If you use “GUNSANDGEAR” coupon code you get $20 off. Or search for your own coupon code. They are $29.99 each or $26.99 each if you’re a club member which is only worth doing if you shop there a lot. They actually have good prices on a lot of things.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Here's one of the rarest CZs. It is a pre- B CZ-75 in .40 S&W. Almost every other CZ-75 in .40 S&W is a "B" model. The CZ-75 in .40 cal was one of the very last of the pre-Bs ever made. The .40 caliber pre- B was an experimental model and the serial number ends in "X" for experimental. The pre-B .40 cal differs in many significant respects from the B model. The pre-B .40 has a stranded steel recoil spring like an AK. The pre-B .40 also has a full length recoil spring guide like a Tanfoglio. The frame is also thicker and heavier. The pre-B .40 also had a very high polish blue, full length slide rails and no lightening scallops on the frame. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/234818/20200728_170734-1784412.jpg the polished blue looks nice! It is still or was a catalog item but I never see them. I kind of wanted a high polish SS 75 compact. Might look like a Montreal Pimp gun. |

What's the appeal of that over a less expensive Gen 3 S&W?
Both are DA/SA Equally reliable. It it the decocker in the Gen 3 that makes it less desirable? Why? The fact that the CZ doesn't have a magazine disconnect is a big difference, but that's not hard to disable in the Smiths. |

If you think you're gonna putz around with the sear cage...buy spare firing pin block lifter springs. Actually, buy 2-3x spares for every spring in the cage. The tiny spring on the left side of the cage is really prone to breakage AFTER you've re-assembled it, and are trying to drive the main frame pin (I forget what it's actually called, but it's the one that pins it into the gun) home..I've broken 3, on one gun, all within 10 minutes of each other. Good thing I bought 5
Once you get it apart and learn how it works, it's "easy" to figure out, and there's a TON of spots in there to do some smoothing and tuning. You can really slick up both the DA and SA pulls if you're so inclined...it's one of the reasons a lot of competition people love shooting CZs. And once you get it set up the way you like it, there's very very little maintenance involved. The biggest wear items are the trigger return springs and slide stops IIRC. The TRS can break, and so can slide stops (on high usage guns), so have spares of each... |

Like I said, I've gone through a bunch trying to get it to seat. The best way I've found is to drive the pin as far as it'll go, and then use a dental pick or similar to keep the spring down while nursing the pin in that little further just to get it seated with the spring in place...and then finish driving the pin home. |

The fact that the CZ doesn't have a magazine disconnect is a big difference, but that's not hard to disable in the Smiths. The early pre-B CZ-75s had the finest double action triggers that were ever seen on a semi auto pistol. Some of the early pre-B pistols also featured extremely beautiful high polished blueing. ( And by early, I mean pre 1985) The modern CZ-75B is a nice gun, but to truly appreciate the CZ-75 design you have to find an early pistol. Finally with custom parts from Cajun Gun Works you can still build a modern CZ-75 that feels like one of the older ones. The CZ-75 also has a beautiful feel about it. Hold one in your hand and you will see. The reverse slide rails create a much fit between slide and frame and the CZ-75 can be just as accurate as its cousin the P-210. ( I have a 1951 Swiss military P-210 and I have CZ-75s that will shoot just as well as the Swiss gun) Once you hold one and shoot it, you may catch Uhersky Brod fever, which is just as contagious as paralytic garanditis. |

The little sliver thing is one reason I prefer a decocker vs safety Plus, except for some comp gun safeties, the rounded nub that CZ uses for a thumb safety just turns me off of them. I live where it's freezing a lot of the year, and those little bumps/nubs just are not sure enough to be able for me to hit at speed and be sure I got the safety off. Especially if your hands are wet (like after fishing) or with gloves on (like from October to April ) Their decockers on the other hand...those are as positive as they can be.I had an 07 but sold it after I had a very...interesting...parts failure that kind of turned me off of them. The decocker has this little paddle on it that the spring rides on. Well, that little paddle is glued on and it's a tiny part. That little tiny part broke in half around the shaft...ordered a new one and it went in easy enough, but that's a pretty high usage part for me. Anyway, once I got a few parts replaced on my P01 with some CGW goodness, I went out, put about 100-150 rounds through it, realized it was just too small for my XL sized hands, and went back to using a HK P30.

Medical instruments can be incredibly frustrating because they were never designed to be taken apart and put back together. One trick to alleviate the condition you describe is to have a small chamfer on the part and corresponding recess in the slave pin. It prevents the parts from slipping in between the two pins.

I do appreciate experienced advice, honestly. I learned a little on this one.   Attached File |

I have been a diehard 1911 guy for decades. Liked the CZ's but hate DA guns. This year I purchased a shadow 2 SA, and love it. Recently purchased a czechmate..... I dont want to carry them, but love shooting them.
Does the CZ97 (45acp) have magazines larger then 10 rounds? |

Recently purchased a czechmate..... I dont want to carry them, but love shooting them. Honestly the DA/SA thing is way overblown...yes it takes some practice but now I prefer DA first pulls, by a wide margin. I was a die hard 1911 or Glock fan for the longest time, specifically because 1 pull the same all the time...a DA pull, is just a longer first pull with a short reset. That's it. Does the CZ97 (45acp) have magazines larger then 10 rounds? Sadly no  I mean it's an incredibly reliable 10 round mag...but it was designed and built in the late 90s, after the AWB passed, and it was designed as an American gun and not really for other markets...so the impetus to go for > 10 rounds just wasn't there.

Any of you CZ wizards know how to decode the CZ "Production Number" from the sticker/barcode on the box?
It's of the format: nnnnnnnnLLLLLLLn-nnnn where n are digits (0-9) and L are letters the final n-nnnn is the serial number, but I'm wondering if there's a date code buried in the rest? No, the slide on this one is not marked with a proof date...as you can see  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice, I have one in .40, wish it was a 9mm. Every now and again I get tempted by a .40 BHP or CZ...how is it compared to...well, anything else nearly? USP, or Sig? Some guns can deal with the heavier loads, others are clearly not up to the task.. Edit - my frame of reference would be a USP, a Sig 229, or a Glock 35 (which I kind of prefer out of those 3) |

Mine is cosmetically challenged. Commies do something right for once and they have to screw it up by giving it a shitty bake on paint job. Anyone who has a pre b with the paint finish, dont let Gun Scrubber or brake parts cleaner anywhere near it.
ETA. Still trying to figure out how to host images here.https://i.ibb.co/2hdrKZh/16110240954304516714387579586379.jpg Want to get it refinished and hunt down a set of the 80's style waffel grips or a nice set of wood grips. |
