I'd go for that! :-)

Just traded a Glock 22 away for a SP01 Phantom. Now I have a total of 4 CZ's!

@ Wishoot

I don't know what kind of trade you got - but you sure got a better gun.

Congratulations

SharpsDressedMan,

Where did you find that, I've never seen one.

Are flares available?

Unfortunately (because now I want one!), a web search found this:

And on the subject of 26.5mm CZ flare launchers:

New member of the CZ pistol club. Just got home with a nice CZ52.

I also own a BRNO VZ.24 and an old Slavia .177 pellet rifle.

dondavis3 · June 8, 2011, 06:09 PM

Congratulations - cool gun.

Twmaster · June 9, 2011, 06:57 PM

Wondering what holsters fit this CZ52?

It seems close in size to a 1911.

Smaug · June 9, 2011, 10:10 PM

I just bought a CZ 97B. I pick it up Saturday. Lightly used, two mags, five hundo.

I'm (still) thinking of a CZ 82 or 83. 83s cost too much, and 82s are too much hassle, with the shipping and FFL transfer. Maybe it is good that I'm so lazy, keeps me from going broke on guns. Anyone got an 82 for sale?

Will_Power · June 9, 2011, 10:49 PM

Super stoked to say I put down my money on a P-01 and it'll be in my possession next week.

I can't wait; pictures will be coming, certainly.

armoredman · June 9, 2011, 11:11 PM

Phantom in a new suit...more info later.

Jayhawker · June 11, 2011, 01:56 PM

Hello. I'm seriously looking at buying this gun but first would like to hear from anyone who may have experience with this modified (by Angus Hobdell's shop) Shadow. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks, from the pictures, that it has a CTS top end. I don't know about the barrel. I currently shoot a CZ 75 SA. Would the grip on the Shadow LS be the same as the 75 SA? It's got to be a fairly heavy gun but since I target shoot (not competitively) that isn't too much of an issue and the longer sight radius appeals to me.

Any shooting impressions of the Shadow LS or Shadows in general or other info would be greatly appreciated.

Pete

eerw · June 11, 2011, 03:06 PM

Shadow longslide is a 75SA with a Tactical Sport top end fitted to it.
and then other amenities added in.

ZeSpectre · June 11, 2011, 04:05 PM

Here's the thing. If Angus and company have had their hands on it you are probably going to just love it. And if, by some tiny chance, something isn't quite right they will MAKE it right.

It really is that simple.

theSHADOEknows · June 26, 2011, 01:22 PM

Put a LIGHTLY used 75B on hold at my LGS and going to pick it up on Wednesday, my 21st birthday! this will be my first handgun and I couldn't be happier with my find.

They had it in the case for $395 with 2 sets of grips; stock black and wood (which are beautiful

), 3 mags, and the original box and manuals.

I'll walk out with it for $405 after the background check...gotta love Oregon and it's lack of sales tax

tekarra · June 26, 2011, 08:29 PM

Sounds like a heck of a deal SHADOE; post a photo when it comes home.

theSHADOEknows · June 30, 2011, 09:59 PM

I made a typo I didn't correct in my original post. The gun I purchased was a 75BD!

I know some will scoff at the thought of the decocker but I have been handling the gun A LOT since I bought it, and also took her shooting today, and I really like it.
I took it apart and and cleaned everything and the only real wear I could see was on the frame rails and slightly on the barrel. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase

This is the best group I could get out of 100 Rounds. It'll take some time to get used to, as I am used to shooting a Glock 17.

1SOW · June 30, 2011, 10:32 PM

Nice pistol. Really a good buy.
That barrel doesn't show enough wear for the pistol to be broken in yet!

A '54 CZ-52! It's up for sale in the trading post now.

JayPee · June 30, 2011, 11:12 PM

I don't know if this is permitted or not, but I spent a couple of months compiling a blog article entitled "The Evolution of the CZ 85". It's a long read with 25 photos and shows the changes made to the gun to make it into the CZ 85B. You'll be surprised at the number and scope of the changes. It's located at http://guntalkers.blogspot.com/2011/...z85-by-jp.html

Mods, everything in the article is my own work, including the photos, so there are no copyright issues. But feel free to delete this if it doesn't make muster with the site's rules.

PS - For those who are unfamiliar with the CZ 85 and '85B, they are ambi versions of the CZ 75 and '75B. Hope you find it worth your while.
