I have to buy an auto to take my Texas CCW class, as they won't certify me to carry an auto if I don't test with one. (I have owned a number of Colt .45's and a couple of Browning 9mm's over the years, but now have only revolvers.)
The best buy in a full size 9mm that I could carry on duty in my security job
is likely the CZ-75. Local dealers' stock seems to be all polycoat CZ-75B's.
How well does this finish withstand holster wear? I should mention that all my holsters are top quality items with leather lining, not abusive to gun finishes. The holster for the CZ would be the same.
I've read that CZ's "normal" blue finish wears off much sooner than Colt or Browning blue jobs. That polycoat might be the best bet...
What is the collective experience of forum members with this finish? I'm interested in those who own the gun with defense and small game shooting/backpacking in mind. I don't plan to fire thousands of rounds a month in some action pistol sport, with a lot of draw-and-fire wear on the gun.
Has the CZ-75B pleased you as an owner? How is the accuracy, compared to the Mk. III Browning, with which I am familiar? Would you trust your life to your CZ? This is not a recreational item I'm discussing; the gun would be carried in harm's way.
Thanks,
Lone Star
