CZ pistols are a solid value, but the triggers have been gritty crap for some time now. Although my friends CZ-83 .380 was fine in this department.

I like their rimfire rifles, super accurate and unbelievable for the money.

"CZ pistols are a solid value, but the triggers have been gritty crap for some time now."

My 85 Combat trigger is, well, different than other autoloaders I've shot, but gritty would not describe it. The difference is apparently a camming of the hammer during the trigger pull.

Some new CZ triggers are gritty. Some are so-so. Some are pretty nice. (I picked up a ANIB 75B .40 recently that was just about ideal.) There's no predicting which you'll get. Most of them smooth up pretty nicely after a couple of hundred rounds. You can dry-fire too, (use a snap cap) to speed the process.

The only way to get rid of the camming, which IS more pronounced on some of the newer guns, is to have the sear/hammer interface angles changed -- which someone using jigs can do easily. Jim Miossi, who participates on the CZ forum does it, as does Mike Eagleshield, Matthew Mink, and Angus Hobdell -- all very competent gunsmiths who know CZs inside and out.
 
#2 .....I sold my sig 220 to fund a Pre B 75.....I 'm a lover of the 1911 too, few Kimbers, a series 70 GCNM and a Valtro, but the 75 is kinda my go to gun at the mo... For under $600 I don't believe anything else offers such a complete "package" of dependability, reliability, looks and ergonomics...as they sell at less than $400, well that's just even better....:D
 
I took a chance on a gun I've never heard of, and glad I did! Best shooter I own. I'll put in at a 1.5:)
 
I would vote #2, just got my first CZ a few weeks ago, it's a 75B-SA, great gun and no failures after 500 rounds, but it sure does need a good trigger job, lots of creep, but it doesn't seem to affect the accuracy any. Now I'm looking to get a 97 next. Here is a target I shot at 25ft. with 20 rounds, most of them went into the same big hole on the upper right of the bullseye:D large.jpg
 
Between #1 and #2

I love CZ. Apart from 1911 guns, they are my primary carry and competition guns.

don't pick on poor Bevrfevr I think he likes em better than he lets on. On one of the other posts he said he has this really crummy CZ, so the nice guy I am, I offered to ease his pain and take it off his hands at a fair price. You know I haven't heard a word from him, He must have changed his mind about them, ya think.

I'm a regular participant on the CZ-Forum and we see a number of problems mentioned there.

The total number is relativeily small -- probably very small when you consider 1) folks tend to come to those sites when they have problems, and 2) we have almost 6000 members, and they are generally VERY, VERY enthusiastic about CZs.

The most frequent problems, of late, are spring related.

Other frequent problems are those common to folks new to semi-autos or handguns in general: not really problems as much as learning experiences.
 
Firmly #2 of course. I was recently in the market for a CCW 9mm and found the 2075 RAMI-P fit the bill perfectly. It was more accurate and more comfortable in my hands than the Khar, Kel-Tec, and Glock.

Now if I could talk myself into a P-01 to do a little head-to-head with my 226 I would be set for a little while.
 
Polymer RAMI?

Please do share! I assume that -P means polymer. New entry for this year. We want to know your experience...
 
o/u mike, ding ding! Right on. When I first handled the standard RAMI, I wasn't very interested. It felt a little too bulky/blocky and butt heavy with a loaded magazine, to me. After thinking it over for a couple of months and trying out other brands I found the RAMI-P at one of my smaller local dealers. After handling it for about 5 minutes, I was filling out the 4473 and laying $425 on the counter. It came with two 10 round flush-fit magazines and I picked up a 14 rounder with pinky grip from CheaperThanDirt for about $34. What sold it to me? The balance, weight, and natural pointability. What confirmed that I had made a good choice? The accuracy and reliability. I've put about 500 assorted rounds through it thus far without any flaws or hiccups. It has it's magazines stoked with 124gr +P Gold Dots and shoots them into ~1" @ 7 yards off-hand, which is my standard CCW accuracy test.
 
I have owned many 9's. The CZ-75 is the only "reasonably" priced, out of the box auto (in 9mm) that shoots BETTER than many top shelf revovlers.

The out of the box accuracy of my Pre-B 75 is nothing short of stellar. The build quality of my 75 is amazing for the price.

There is absolutely nothing that compares to a CZ for the money. Nothing.
