wipe everything down, then clean and lube like normal.

solvents i use hoppes number 9.

lubes i use hoppes gun oil on small parts that rotate, and slide glide where things slide, rub, and slam, and rem dri-lube on the action and in the magazine well.

Thanks. Hoppes has been popping up a lot in my research and has a good reputation, I'll grab some of their solvent and oil when I run by the store.

MJCZ is that the way it came? Do the stainless CZs really look that polished?

mjcz · December 18, 2008, 05:47 PM

The 75B SS is available in either the polished finish, like mine, or the matte (sandblasted) finish.

I thought the polished looked a little more unique. This is my first CZ, I'm now looking for #2. Awesome gun!

Here is a link showing the matte finish:

Well, I picked up and paid off my P-01 today, took it home and cleaned it, then went back to the range and ran 100 rounds of WWB 115 through it. Trigger's a little rough, but otherwise it was great. Only fired 5 rounds DA, the other 95 were SA, I could see easily running through a few hundred rounds if I'd brought as much.

burningsquirrels · December 22, 2008, 11:36 PM

i added a cz frame reassembly guide for those who want a hand to break down and detail strip their frame over at my 40b site. it's under performance -> cz frame assembly. read through, then reverse for the disassembly.

floods · December 29, 2008, 12:36 PM

400 rounds through the P-01 so far. Initial clean, clean after first 100 rounds, and cleaned it yesterday after I put 300 rounds through it. No FTF's or jams so far, slide failed to lock back on empty once. SA trigger's already smoothed out quite a bit and the break is easier to feel, DA trigger's still dirty but improving, I've probably only shot about 45-60 rounds in DA.

RobZ71LM7 · December 30, 2008, 07:15 PM

Just ordered a second CZ75B. I also added the competition hammer and CZ85 trigger to my first one the other day. The trigger is amazing. I left the firing pin stop in, but without the stop the reset is super short. I've been searching for a reliable 1911 replacement for a while now and this is definitely it.

Anyways I'm ditching my M&P's for the CZ. I also bought a CZ75 SP-01 at Whittakers, who would not let me dryfire, I'm kind of disappointed in the decocker, compared to the CZ75B w/comp hammer, and am selling it for a model that can be cocked and locked.

Old Navy · December 31, 2008, 07:12 PM

Rob,

Just curious, What did you not like about the decocker? I have a CZ 75D and don't think I'll buy anything except decockers from now on. I'd like to hear your take.

I came from 1911's and like being able to carry cocked. But I also put a CZ competition hammer in my regular CZ75B and am in love with it. Unfortunately that's not an option for the decocker guns. Now if budsgunshop.com will ship the second CZ75B I ordered on the 30th I'll be happy.

RobZ71LM7 · January 6, 2009, 08:25 PM

Anyone have experience with the Rami in 9mm? Is it better than the .40 versions in terms of quirks and reliability. I'm thinking of getting one for my wife.

armoredman · January 6, 2009, 09:03 PM

Rob, my wife has carried a RAMI 9mm for some time. We arequite sure it was the first RAMI in Arizona. I think she likes it...

That's with the optional 14 round extended magazine, and Hakan Pek grips.

Works like a charm, has never jammed on any factory ammo, good solid pistol.

tblt, the poly RAMI is a new addition to the CZ fleet, and the reports I am getting is it works very well. Have not handled or seen one in person, so I have to rely on second hand reports.

As for our general impression of CZ...pardon if I posted this before...

Mrs. Armoredman · January 6, 2009, 09:49 PM

Our case rests...

CZF · January 6, 2009, 10:26 PM

9mm RAMI is fine. I hear the new .40s are better than the older
ones.

Take a look at the RAMI BD (Decocker) for your wife.

Some people new to guns prefer the decocker over having to lower the hammer on a live round, or cocked n locked carry.

Now people have a choice and the BDs are selling well.

eatont9999 · January 6, 2009, 10:35 PM

The only safety I use is "Keep your booger hooks off the boom switch!" Unless of course you keep the gun in your pocket a thumb safety may be in order there.

jdc1244 · January 7, 2009, 06:16 PM

My SP-01 is a pure range gun – the decocker is not an issue.

Great thread, great guns! I highly, highly recommend anyone interested in .40 S&W get a 75B chambered for the round. It has never failed in any way, is very easy to be accurate with, and is a joy to use. The platform accommodates the round very well.

Fire-4-Effect · January 7, 2009, 06:42 PM

I have a 75b in stainless. I like the gun a LOT! However, the trigger pull is very long and there is some creep. My targets are consistently showing shots a few inches to the left (9 o'clock). I believe it is my trigger control made worse by the long trigger. I would also like to get some adjustable sights for the gun. Can you guys recommend a competent gunsmith who can do this work?

Thanks

PR

Absolutely, and all of the pistols in that picture are carried as defensive sidearms by the owners.

CZF · January 8, 2009, 08:20 PM

I would have loved to have a RAMI- some years go when working plainclothes

Mrs. Armoredman · January 8, 2009, 08:42 PM

Of course. BTW being well endowed helps when concealing. Hint Hint...

burningsquirrels · January 9, 2009, 10:03 AM

CZF: so, is that what you consider plainclothes at your work?

New member to the forum but I've been shooting CZ for several years. Here's a pic of my family:

P-06; Satin Nickel 75B in .40; CZ52 Blued with Omega grips; Hard Chromed CZ52 with Omega Grips

Deer Hunter · January 9, 2009, 04:12 PM

Those CZ52s are beautiful!

My favorite handgun of all, at least looks-wise. I've been meaning to pick one up for a while now.
