I love my CZ-75B and P-01. Not only are they accurate and good-looking, with great ergonomics, but they run extremely reliably.
Except with CCI Blazer aluminum cased ammo. With that stuff I get about 1 "choke" every 100 rounds from the 75B; one every 40 or 50 rounds from the shorter-barreled P-01.
Both pistols are stone reliable shooting factory brass-cased ammo (including CCI "Blazer Brass").
I see that at least one other THR poster has had the same problem:

CZs have a reputation for tight chambers. Maybe that's the explanation. My P-01 also didn't do well in gun school "failure drills" with plastic 9mm dummy rounds; it wouldn't feed 'em. I did all the live firing in the course with brass -cased ammo, and everything went smooth.
I'm tempted to say, "CZs are splendid pistols, but avoid aluminum cased ammo."
Who else has had similar experiences?
