Hi, everybody,
I just picked up a CZ 75,(9mm), all black, pach grips and 2 15 round mags, OTD for $340. It's very clean and other than a few wear marks due to holster,it seems to be in great shape. I was wondering if I could pick the collective's brains and ask a few not so bright questions:

How did I make out price wise?

Are the mags supposed to drop? after I depress the mag release, the mag(full or empty) kicks out a little, then I have to pull it out.

Is there a place I can order a book/manual,(it didn't come with one) on the proper take down, cleaning and care of this weapon?

Thanx, Lt. G

Sounds like a pretty good price.

There is a mag brake in the gun, so the mags don't drop free, supposed to reduce the amount of lost mags etc, the mag brake can be switched out with the one used in the CZ85 is you would like drop free mags.

As for the manual, you can contact CZ USA at http://www.cz-usa.com and try the "contact us" button, I asked for one about a week ago, and they sent one in about 2 days, very quick. Or, you can do to the downloads section http://www.cz-usa.com/_p/p24.php and download the CZ75 manual in PDF format.

Nice gun, hope you enjoy it, cause I sure enjoy mine :)

Great deal, especially considering that you got two high caps with it.

Good price. I think I paid about the same for mine years ago (before the CZ was imported). Considering inflation, you did better.

Decent price. The CZ is an under-rated pistol. Although its not designed for concealed carry you will enjoy it.

You got a good deal! The only thing you are missing now is CZ grips from Hakan:

If nobody bent/replaced the mag brake yet, it sounds like it wasn't shot very much.
Not a bad deal.
I got my first CZ75b last year for 360 + 6% tax with a ten rounder, and a factory hi-cap.
It was NIB, though. (Cleaning rod, plastic snap cap, manual, etc.)
You didn't get screwed.
The first thing ya gotta do it order wolff +5% or +10% mag springs for it, if that hasn't been done already.
