Just saw one of these, (this afternoon), and was impressed, the quality, and price, got my attention. Have never fired one. This particular pistol was a 40, (never shot that either), but I'm interested. I have Kimber 1911, SW 29, Colt SA, and various Rugers. What should I expect from the CZ? Thanks, for any comments or experiences. |

The CZ 75B in .40 caliber was my introduction to CZs. Almost didn't get it because of the bad experience with a Ruger P944. However, the CZ 75B in .40 is a real pleasure to shoot: it handles the "snap" of the .40 better than any other .40 I've fired. I now own 4 .40s from CZ and one from Browning. (No more Rugers in .40 for me, although I like Rugers, too.) It's the most accurate .40 in the stable and probably the most accurate handgun I own. The only knock with CZ's is that most of them could use slightly stiffer springs. The standard spring on the CZ 75B in .40 is 16 pounds. An 18 or even a 20 pound spring is common to upgrade to. I believe that they are $7.98 at Wolff's. Clarification: The standard CZ 75B ,40 spring is supposed to be 16 pounds, but they are generally a bit weaker than advertised. -- Mike |
| I purchased a .40 cal CZ75 a few months ago and I have to agree with mbott. It's an accurate gun and it feels oh so comfortable in my hand. I did have a problem with FTEs that was caused by a weak extractor spring, a $3.50 replacement from gunsprings.com took care of that. It's been beautiful ever since |
| Buy it you will love it. CZ guns are well made and you will find they are damn accurate and a pleasure to shoot. I picked up my first CZ at a show about 4 yrs ago NIB for $275. Last one this guy had and wanted to get rid of it. Best $275 I ever spent. I thought that it would be a crappy gun that I would hate and turn around and trade or sell but I can't part with it. I liked it so much that about a year later I found a steal on a NIB 40cal at a local dealer for $315. Two of my favorites to shoot in my collection. |
