I am sorry guys but I have to announce that I’m selling both of my CZ85Bs. Maybe Todd really got me with his “Zed is not your friend” article. I’m going to get some more modern, more reliable and durable pistol that is not is not as heavy as the CZ. I have to admit, and this is based on my experience, it is NOT as reliable as the Bretta 92 or the Glock 17/19. :(

Thats the dumbest thing i have heard. Someone writes a report and you feel you have to ditch the firearm now?

CZ75's are amazing firearms.
 
Too bad. My Cz's have been my more reliable guns. Sorry to hear you had problems with yours.
 
So, ummm, since they're such crappy guns and all, you should want to let go of 'em pretty cheap right?
 
Forgive me but, who is Tod

Wasn't it this guy?

As far as this post - the OP seems to want to tell every firearm forum that he is doing this for some reason...
 
Yes, he is posting this everywhere, but if he is selling them, the wider the market for offers, the better for hinm, I would guess. Good luck, sir. I wouldn't sell based on that article, but he apparently also had some reliabilty issues with his customized guns, and wants to change. The beauty of this country, great diversity in firearms choices.
I will continue to carry my CZs, they work just fine for me.
 
He is talking about Todd at pistol-training.com who wrote an article about his observation that in his training classes CZs have been very unreliable.
 
Selling a good pistol for a chunk of plastic? Thats like trading in a BMW for a Toyota, yuck.:barf:
 
I have been told that he is not selling them in the US, but overseas in his home country, so this is his opinion posted, not an actual for sale thread. All well and good, everyone is entitled to thier opinions and beliefs.
 
Between my brother and I we owned 5 different CZ's at one time. 3 were 75 B's a 75 BD and a PO-1. We had troubles with all of them. We fell for all the internet hype and thought we were pretty smart getting great guns for much less than the big name brands.

We came to the same conclusion several years ago, sold them all and moved on to better guns.
 
jmr40: I "fell for it" also except I think I'm going to keep my CZ. I am interested in what took the place of your sold CZs though. I want as many guns as I can get that do not malfunction at all.

CZ sucks? My PO1 shoots sub 1" groups at twenty-five yards, its never malfunctioned, it is as close to ergonomically perfect as you're likely to get, best of all, mine was bought at a no "sales tax" sale for $480.00! It is beautifully finished, and IMO completely superior to my P226. Of course any manufacture can turn out a lemon, but FIVE to one party? Sorry, I ain't buying it!
 
Well good luck. Unfortunately if you read everything on the internet you will find out that ALL guns are unreliable. Remember all the Glock 40 kabooms from a few years ago?
 
CZ-75... unreliable??? Not durable???

Was the OP posting this from the Twilight Zone? Mine hasn't had a single failure in it's last 200 rounds (range day).

Mine's a 1996 by the way. Made in CA back when the plant was still open.
