CZ Owners Chime In

[..]

This Monday I'm gonna order that SP01 I've been eyeballin. Where do you guys get your factory CZ75 mags? Anybody running Mecgar's? I heard they were slightly different than factory.

 

[daysleeprx]

I run MecGars exclusively through my SP-01. They've had no problems. And if I recall, I think MecGar makes the OEM mag for CZ anyway.

in a matter of weeks i'm going to be a meaningful contributor to this thread! i'm so excited!

I'm ordering an SP-01 too!!! (unless i can find a 97B to try on and it fits my hand, which is unlikely)

Love CZs. Between my wife and me and a buddy we've got 12.

 

[armoredman]

CZs rock. My wife and I are dedicated CZ fans, my PO1, and her RAMI. Once life gets better, (coming soon), we will aquire more...

 

[JDGray]

Glad to see ya finally getting a CZ And I better not see it in the classifieds in a few weeks All joking aside, I'm sure you'll like it, and congrats!

I just ordered a new CZ P-01 this morning from Buds Gun Shop website. They think it should ship out Tuesday morning next week. This will be my first CZ. I can't hardly wait! I see CDNN has 16 round Mec-Gar CZ75 mags for $18.99 in-stock right now. They also carry the 14 round Mec-Gar CZ75 Compact mags (the ones I need for my P-01 to fit flush) for $18.99 as well, but they are currently out-of-stock on them right now. Here is the link:

SP01 owner & shooter here. I get most of my CZ stuff (nearly all of it) from Angus. www.ghostholster.com

I have however many CZ mags came with the gun (2? 3?) and about 9 MecGars... they are EXCELLENT mags, and every one has functioned flawlessly out of the packaging.

Anyone know where I can get Kydex magazine belt holders for CZ 9mm?

 

[jlbraun]

Mecgar is the OEM for CZ magazines.

Any magazine holder for Sig Sauer P226 magazines will work for the CZ.

Love CZs. Between my wife and me and a buddy we've got 12.

Don't want to pry, but why is your buddy included in the count?

 

[LoadedDrum]

I have mostly Mecgars for my SP01 and they work great.

Mec Gar makes the factory mags. They are however a little different, side by side from the OEM ones. It is just a cosmetic thing. I have 6 factory mags, and four Mec Gar. They are all flawless but you can tell them apart.

I think eerw is selling some in the accessories section...he's a good guy, and shoots a lot of CZs.

Congrats on deciding on the SP-01, I think you'll love it.

Using the two factory mags, two mags that came with a TA90, and a couple of Mec Gars I've yet to have any problems with my newish SP-01. It shoots MUCH better than I can and after two range sessions and a weekend of dry firing the trigger has improved a noticeable amount already.

I'll take any chance I can to post a picture of it!

The holster is a Uncle Mikes Kydex for a Glock 21 that fits perfectly in the left handed rendition. I think it was around $20 after shipping, the cheapest thing I could find since its just for range duty.

Are the safety models preferred over the decock?

 

[Hadoken]

For me, yes.

When I was holding the gun the decocker interfered with my high thumb grip. So if you're going to order one with a decocker I would suggest you pick one up in person first.
Also its easier to do trigger work on the safety models than the decocker models, but that might not even be a consideration.

 

[daysleeprx]

I prefer cocked and locked, just because it's the same as my 1911s. Also, trigger jobs are much easier to get on manual safety models...apparently working on decocker models is a PITA.

I just picked up a CZ75b at a gun show. I was looking for a Sig, and yes, I had the money to buy the Elite, but there were none for sale. I was talking to a guy who had a Sig for sale about how I love the trigger pull, and the guy next to him handed me the CZ. I fell in love and bought it. I was worried that I might have gotten a bad deal. But you guys seem to really like yours so, as someone who is new to CZ could you guys let me know some things I should look out for in the 75b?

 

[daysleeprx]

The only commonly reported problem (and it's actually not that common) is a weak extractor spring. This is easily fixed by ordering a Wolff extra power extractor spring, which costs around $3 dollars.

I got lucky one time and found that CDNN actually had CZ 75 compact Mecgar magazines in stock. Most of the time, they are out of stock. I suggest that you call and ask them about avaliability.

 

[P. Plainsman]

Just superb pistols. My two CZs are past 3,000 rounds now without a single FTF or FTE, ever.

Mec-Gar is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for CZ mags. Excellent quality. Use their stuff without fear.

 

[schmeky]

I have owned and currently own a slew of 9mm's.

I have a Pre-B CZ-75 that is my favorite. I really like my West German Sig 226, but my CZ is so incredibly slick and tight out of the box making it a treat and a joy to handle.

No complaints from me and I'm a picky b_st_rd.

 

[Tob]

I like the CZs I own, and am always interested in getting more.
I have the 40P (damned good buy), and a 452 in 22lr.
