CZ 75B/Broke AGAIN!

[Walt Sherrill]

I would argue that the amount of "bounce" expeienced would depend upon just how UNDERSPRUNG the gun was.

A lighter spring, if it wasn't too light, wouldn't support his argument. If the spring was lighter but didn't allow MUCH slap/bounce, what happens -- and how would tha differ from a substantially heavier spring?

A Wolff Springs techie told us (on the CZ Forum) -- through a member who was talking with Wolff -- that a heavier spring will slow the slide as it moves to the rear, but when the slide started its return trip, the extra stored force would move it more quickly than a lighter spring -- causing potential feeding problems. (That's why a heavier mag spring was sometimes required -- to get the next round up quickly!)

All of this seems to fly in the face of what Marko is claiming.

This is like counting the number of angels that dance on the point of a pin... <grin>

Like you, I'd like to see some HIGH SPEED photography/imagery of the whole process with different spring weights in use.

Destructo...you can use whatever springs you desire.

Thank you. I think I will.

New CZ-75B....

I certainly hope the issues mentioned are isolated! I just bought a 40 S&W CZ-75B.



This is an exceptionally nice auto-loader and I'm expecting to fry a lot of ammo through it.

Well, it has been 5 years.

Just a thought here but if one were to do a lot of slide releasing(movie type)
on an empty chamber would that not contribute to slide stop and extractor breaking.?

 

[armoredman]

There was a batch of bad extractors/slide stops several years ago, and that was addressed. I haven't heard of this happening since then. I have thousands of rounds through my CZ and my wifes, no issues yet!

 

[Grayrider]

Agreed. Old story there and you certainly have nothing to worry about. CZ does it right.

Wow, another OLD thread dredged up by a new poster. PLEASE check the dates before bringing up an old thread. In this case you brought up a thread from 5 years ago posted by a man who became a good friend of mine through here and thefiringline.com who died just under 2 years after this post.

And for the record, even after CZ shipped him a replacement pistol he still was having issues with the gun. He "replaced" it with a stainless S&W 910 for home defense but never sold the CZ and used it as a range gun since he couldn't bring himself ethically to sell it to someone with its problems. He also wasn't my only friend with a problem CZ (my best friend's CZ 85 Combat hasn't exactly been reliable either and my CZ 75B occasionally has its issues too, but is overall a decent gun with 10K+ rounds).
