Do any of your guns get too hot to shoot after ~75 rounds ? I was at the range today shooting Winchester White Box 9mm with my CZ-75B and after shooting awhile, the trigger became too hot to shoot comfortably. Besides waiting awhile, is there anything I can do to cool it down quickly without damaging it?

No
I ran 300 rds through my 1911, and another 250 rds through a P-11 today.
Young Lady shot her Pro Carry about 300 rds, neither of us have experienced too hot to shoot.

I think it is peculiar to the cz-75s. I rented one at the range and it was a ittle uncomfortable after 100 rounds. The XD40 I rented was fine after 200 and a friends colt .45 still chugging after 300.
As far as cooling it down only time will help. You can lock the slide back to get some air through the barrel. If it was anything other than a gun you could swing it around a bit to run some air over it, but I think your range would ask you to leave if you started waving your gun around like a mad man.
I don't know what you were shooting (ammo wise), perhaps try cooler rounds.

I ran 180 rounds of WWB through my 75B this afternoon with no problems. Haven't heard of the CZ triggers getting hot.

:confused:

That's why I traded my CZ for a P7....

Yep... there have been several days that I put 400 or 500 rounds through my Taurus PT99. Shooting S&B ammo mostly. Never felt the trigger get uncomfortably warm. Now, I never had 5 mags loaded up and just blast through as quickly as possible. :uhoh:

Serpico: So your CZ got uncomfortably hot, but your P7 doesn't? I thought the P7 was the Numero Uno Ouchy-Hot Handgun.

I've sent 400 rounds of WWB in one range session without a hot trigger. The barrel and slide? Well.....

A CZ gets hotter faster than a P7?....now thats just plain bad Kahrma! The P7 is notorious (not an internet rumor, actually a real truth!) for getting hot quickly...gas guns do that.

I have never heard of a CZ getting hot....Im on my 8th one.
Ive shot lots of hot ammo through them very quickly and
never had this problem. As an Admin over the CZForum....I would know if this was a typical problem...which I dont believe it is.

My K40 would heat up slightly when "shooting" the grips right off of it...but it never got that bad....same with my SP101 and full house loads....

Shoot well

When my P7M8 was new I wanted to see how hot I could get it. I had 15 mags I could go through at a time but before I got o number 15, it was a little too hot to shoot comfortably.

I took my new CZ 75 PCR to the range today and shot 220 rounds though it, 100 rds were Winchester white box. The trigger didn't even get warm. The front of the slide was a bit hot though. :p

I commonly put 200 or 300 rounds through my CZ every time I go to the range. My experience has been the opposite, I've been rather impressed by how (relatively) cool my CZ 75B stays. And that's after emptying 26 round magazines quickly. I mostly shoot CCI Blazer, fwiw.

If you are overheating a handgun after only 75 rounds, you have a problem with the ammo or you are emtying mags as fast as you can. I've put literally hundreds of rounds though my various 9mm and 10mm semi-auto pistols inside of one hour and never had anything but the barrel get hot to the touch.

It occurs to me (I'm not a pro gun smith) that you may be getting gas leakage from the chamber, causing parts that shouldn't get hot to do so.

I'd recommend looking for strange "burn" marks in the receiver and grip of your pistol, and then, if they aren't there, trying different ammo. Does the pistol function reliably and accurately?

Best regards,

I was joking....:neener:

[TreeSquid]

When I go to the range with my friend, with my P-01, we take turns loading mags while the other fires, and it's never gotten too warm to hold or fire. The slide will get pretty toasty, though, after a couple hundred rounds...surprise surprise. I'm pretty skeptical about this.

[euclid]

Little girly hands getting too hot?:neener:

No flames guys. I was just punning, er, funning.:D



Get it. No Flames...hot trigger...pun...fun.

Tough room.
