CZ75B, Still FTE issues?

G. Freeman · October 5, 2004, 08:40 PM

Hi Guys,
I'm very interested in purchasing a CZ75B, however, just wondering if their FTE issues are still occurring?

Is CZ quick to respond to this matter by sending a new extractor and extractor spring?

Thanks in advance.

No failure with mine in two years, all type ammo including reloads.

I've shot several hundred factory loads and about 2,000 reloads in my CZ 85 Combat and have had one failure to eject.

Post your question at CZ Forum and one of the knowledgable readers there will reply.

Once upon a time.. there was a run of bad extractor springs. CZ-USA was quick to remedy the situation. Stretching the spring until the speedy delivery of the
new part worked for most.

After two years of competition shooting, I've had no problems with either of mine.

My entirely stock CZ 75B has never failed to function -- not even once -- with thousands of 9x19 rounds fired.

I have a bunch of CZ pistols and I shoot them a lot. I have never had a FTE in any of them.

Best regards.

Although I don't have as many CZs as Craig, I haven't had any FTE issues either.

The CZ-75B is known for having FTE problems due to (or so I read on the internet) a badly desgined extractor and/or a weak extractor spring.

After a year or so of working with a couple of other guns, I've just started shooting my CZ-75B again. It never liked WWB and was having problems S&B. I didn't want to reload 9mm and needed to be able to shoot both types of ammo, so I had the extractor (CZ-USA) and extractor spring (Wolff) replaced a week or so ago. Since then I have run perhaps 700+ rounds through it with out a single problem.

CZ 75B failing?

The only time mine has failed me is with the crappy Pro Mag magazines that I ordered from cabelas.com. Other than that. My CZ75B ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had mine over four years, fired I don't know how many thousands of rounds through it, and haven't done anything to it except clean it. It has never had any type of problem.
