I'm more of a revolver guy, but I'm considering buying a CZ75b 9mm. I like the idea of an all steel DA/SA 9mm known for durability and reliability. I've heard of people that shoot old WW2 submachine gun ammo loaded to blistering hot velocities, and their old CZ's seem to hold up just fine.
Despite this, I've been looking into the CZ75b's longterm durability. I know the frame is cast steel, which seems to be okay as they were apparently designed to use that. I did run across a thread though where one was quick to say that the service life of these pistols is lower than others because it doesn't have a barrel bed in the frame to stop the slide and wears on the slide stop and frame, shortening the life of the pistol.
How long will a CZ75b last as far as round count?
