Put a used CZ 75B on layaway today.

I looked at a few new ones in an LGS today to feel the triggers and the gun as I had never handled one. Holy crap the grip is like a fine woman. Just right . Well a few weeks ago I saw a used one at another shop and checked it out. It had a better trigger than both the SA and the Omega versions, came with 5 mags so she is IDPA ready! It has been shot a bit I suppose, but in good shape. I feel a little dirty as there are certainly other things I should spend my money on, but I'll get over that!

I want a metal CZ so bad. I love my 09 but I want an all steel CZ.

But I need two Coosa's first.

One cZ is never enough. Just think how bad you will feel in a year or so.

Now you see why those of us who have them, love them! The trigger being better on a used CZ versus brand new is common, as they really smooth out with lots of firing. Congrats and enjoy!

Maybe it would be mean to mention their rifles too.

I am a fan of CZ pistols as well. I have an Omega and like it a great deal. Please post a few photos once you get it in hand.

Well here she is! Didn't realize it came with Tru Dots, the trigger seems to be worked, and grip tape. Apparently shot a bit, but very clean. Ergonomically perfect and I can't wait to get her out!

I was finally able to get some range time today and the 3 guns I took were my Sig P239, CZ75 P-01 and S&W 624 revolver.

Out of those 3, I had the best groupings while firing the CZ. Just love this gun. I want another one.

Finally figured out how to get these images to work, and I have an IT degree! Whoohoo!



Here are the results with Federal Champion 115gr bulk ammo at about 10 yards or so. Found it shot a little high, but that may be the ammo. The group on the bottom was my first and the top my second. The fliers my fault. Testing will be fun. What a blast to shoot. Does't quite soak the recoil like my P89, but what does? A superior gun in every way!

Only thing that I didn't really like but adjusted to was the length of the trigger reset. I have heard that can be modified?

Since modern cameras take such detailed pics the size is too big just to upload for TFL usually. Find a site that hosts them for free and they will usually provide code to link to them. Took me a few tries to find the right code to get what I a wanted is all.

You can upload pics pretty easily using the attachment button on the tool bar. You then click the link and copy the link. Then use the picture button to post it into the post itself.

If you use a 3rd party all you have to do is take the url cut and paste it in between [img].......[/img] and it will display. Places like photobucket also provide direct links.

My CZ75B is the most accurate 9mm I've ever owned, if I had to settle on 2 handguns it would be the CZ75 and the 1911.

I have a SP-01 and the 75c PCR and they are without question THE most accurate out of the box semi-autos I've ever shot. Congratulations on your new CZ!
