I figured you can never have enough, so......I placed a stainless CZ 75b in layaway at Bud's. Just bought an ammo can (or 2 ;)) and a new Stag Model 2 - so layaway was my only option (or divorce).

Anyhow, I have only handled them at my LGS'. Never shot one, but they feel so well in my hand I always wanted one. I ordered a couple of 16 rd Mec-Gar mags (Midway limited me to two?) and a Bianchi holster for it.

Is there anything I should know about them?


p.s. - a gun or two will be up for sale soon :banghead:
 
Congratulations on your order for the CZ75B. I have one in blued. Yes, I agree with you that it fits very well in your hand and it also points naturally. It is very reliable and accurate.
 
Great gun buy...not much else to say. Nice SA trigger, lengthy DA trigger but manageable. Megcar is a great choice for the aftermarket mags. I bought one back in 06' just after they started producing them. It's been rock-solid with several thousand rounds run through it.
 
The stainless ones I have seen all had ambidextrous safeties. Does this one?

I'm 99% sure it does. Their website has been down most of the day - placed the order over the phone.
 
RE: ambi safeties:

The new stainless guns have a slightly-changed frame which incorporates 1) ambi-safeties, 2) an extended beavertail (as seen on the SA models), and 3) reversible mag releases as are found on the SP-01 and P-01.
 
Beautiful pistols. Did you get the matte or polished stainless finish?
 
Get a Wolff 15# hammer spring pronto, and consider a fiber front sight.

Sprung too heavy from the factory.......like a Hi Power?

Polished. I probably would have preferred matte, but they were out of stock - and looked to have been for some time. I have handled the polished ones before and it'll work.
 
If you are contemplating getting the excellent Kadet Kit .22LR conversion unit, be careful with changing the mainspring (hammer spring) as it may cause unreliability with the .22's. If not, have at it.
 
I got a CZ75B the other day through a trade. I traded my used XD-40 for a brand new, still in the packing grease CZ. I can say after one range session that I'm very happy I made the trade and don't miss that XD. I carry mine at half cock because I don't feel limited by the longer first trigger pull. Don't really notice it either when practicing drawing.
 
I have a blued CZ-75b import. Outstanding 9mm shoots just as good as my 1911A1. I think you'll like it and the Mecgar mags are good to go in my experience. I bought a 16 rounder from Midway and haven't had any issues. Mine seems to like 124 gr FMJs loaded to near max with with PowerPistol
 
Picked up a new 75B last spring that got me buying the CZ82 which in turn caused me to buy a PO-1. I've come to learn that CZ's can be very hard on your wallet. :cool:
 
I have had the 75b stainless for the last five years, 12,000 rounds later--my favorite gun along with my PCR.
Great pistols, accurate, reliable and good looking:)

Hey, I've been looking all over for one of these and can't find a place that has one in stock. Just out of curiosity, have you received yours yet?
 
There are only two things you should know about the CZ75B:

1. It is one of the most accurate guns you'll ever own.

2. It is a huge piece of junk. Box it up and send it to my FFL, I will give you $20 to cover the postage. I will shoot that dangerously awesome piece of hardware for you.

In all seriousness though, I own some high dollar stuff and the CZ75B, while cheaper than most of it, is probably the most accurate handgun I own. It has also been completely reliable, I've yet to clear a single jam from it.

Those are heavy with fully loaded magazine in place.
 
I envy you. I'm not joking when I say, a CZ 75B in stainless is quite literally on my next "to buy" list.

They're awesome, as a most CZs.

Be wary of Buds though, they are shady to do business with. I'd hound them near daily, as they sell guns they don't have in stock (as in we take your money, even though we don't have the gun for awhile, auction back ordered guns, and have crappy CS and sales reps) and wouldn't want to have them pull a fast one. For every good review they get, there's at least one or two horror stories behind that. Be careful.

Paid for it on 12/20 and my FFL and I did the transfer on 12/26.

I have had one problem with them that really got to me, but......I have purchased around 30 "items" from them in the past 5 years, so 1 time out of 30 ain't bad in my book. And for me to get the CZ in 6 days during Christmas is unbelievable - IMHO.

I will also add (and I have witnesses ;)) that my first shot at 15 yards went dead center bullseye. All follow-up shots were close to the first.

It is the smoothest shooting 9 I have ever owned, and I've owned a few. I let 2 friends at the range shoot it and they have been on a conquest for any CZ 75 they can find.

YMMV
 
I hate CZ's once you get one you think of well maybe I need this one and that one too.
I've been eye ballin that stainless and your not helping my problems tho the CZ 75 shadow, well it will never end....
