The finish on my 75B makes it look like there is alot of noise. but there is none on the background.

Lovely guns, aren't they?

I've got CZ-85 Combat and a 75 Compact in satin nickel. Very durable finishes. Both look like new after several years of not-so-delicate handling.

My 75B in .40 S&W is a Duo Tone, and everyone that sees this gun comments on the Satin Nickle frame.

[cavscout577]

That is the cest looking CZ I have ever seen. I didn't know they could come in satin...

And I just bought a Springfield mil-Spec!!!

Of course, I have a -85 that I bought in Germany in 1990, that has a few thousand rounds, no problems except for bad mags (those are since gone).

Be proud of that one, I would!!

My grandmother bought this for me. I love it. My father-in-law keeps trying to buy it from me but no, I won't let him. :)

Curse you for posting those awesome pics! :D Now I'm gonna have to get a CZ. :cool:

[Litlman]

Clipse, nice pic. I have a duotone 85-c, cool looking finish. Just wondering, are you ccw that 75 now? I know that you sold your Po-1. If so what are you packing it in?

[clipse]

I don't use this as a CCW right now. It is my bedstand gun. I have a 1911 for CCW.

Very nice pictures. I have to get a 75b, I never would have thought about getting one until I started reading internet forums. Funny how the gun magazines never have any articles on the CZ line, but all I read about them is that they are great guns.

[Black Snowman]

Ya, took me a long time to find the CZs (and a lot of money) Have three (4 if you count the vzor 52) and plan on getting at least 1 more. . . maybe 4 more. . . . Let me check my list:
97B in 10mm if they FINALLY produce one
SP-01 Tactical
75B in 40, maybe a IPSC Standard in .40 if I can find a deal on one used . . .
40-P would be neat.
85 Compact maybe
110B . . . just have to figure out how to get it into the country. . .
I think it would be neat to have a Champion just for bragging rights.
That's assuming they don't come out with something else I "have" to get in the mean time, like more 10mm guns . . .

That's great photography work Clipse, I wish I could get that kind of quality out my cheap little Olympus digital.

As for the CZ's, I've only seen one at my range, and it broke on the guy shooting it. Didn't leave a good first impression on me, but everybody I've talked to on the gun chatboards that have them, swear by them....

I've yet to see one on a dealer's shelf around here, doesn't seem to be much demand for them in South Jersey. Most guys shooting bottom feeders around here either have a Glock in their hands, or a 1911, after that Sig's, and the XD's are starting to show up a lot more, but no CZ's.......

[patentnonsense]

Those are great pictures of a beautiful piece!

CZ is good quality, good engineering, and also (with the euro rising against the dollar) a good investment - I didn't know they could also be good looking. Even in black, the syling is much classier than anything glockish.

[Black Snowman]

Check out the Engravings section of http://www.czub.cz/index_en.php for some really beutiful work. Even the Aniv edtion out this year is pretty nice.

I like the Tactical Sport/IPSC Standard too.

I have a thing for full length frame rails.

[clipse]

Someone mentioned to me that the blue might be a bit too intense. I backed it off abit and came out with this. I think it looks a bit cleaner.

[Seraph]

Your photography is better than mine by far, clipse, but I honestly think these shots would be more attractive without the red and blue lighting. That satin nickel finish has a warmth of its own.

[TMM]

i've gotta ask: who's Ichiro?

~TMM
nice pics, btw.

[12 Volt Man]

Nice pics Clipse

Ichiro Nagata is a very good photographer. His photos have been used in many gun magazines.

Here are a couple of my attempts from a while back.

Looks great

[Ky Larry]

I have a satin nickel CZ-83 .389 ACP and a two-tone CZ-75B in .40 S&W. Very handsome guns. :D

[Russ]

I love the satin nickel CZ's. I have the 85 Combat. Now all I need to do is order some nice grips from Haken Pek. Nice Pics.

[Hakan]

WOW! Some nice CZ photography guys...


I love my TwoTone :)

Russ,

Sir, I look forward to hearing from you :)

Sexy photos, hoss. I have the 9mm 75B in their black paint finish and it has proven to be very durable, though not nearly as sensual as the nickel you have. I'm gonna have to call Tripp and see about changing that.

As far as durability and reliability, I just went through a 1200+ round course with Trident Concepts and the pistol didn't falter even once. The only maintenance was some lube to the rails at the beginning of the second day.

Great weapons.

[Marshall]

Very Nice! :)
