Thinking about a CZ-75

[bikerdoc]

GET IT NOW! (yes im shouting)
I bought a CZ 75 compact two years ago at a gun show for 409 out the door. I love it, Im 60 and have a lot of gun but this one is my absolute favorite. It has bumped my 357's and 45's out of EDC rotation. The more you shoot it the smoother the trigger gets and it was ok to start with. You cant go wrong with that gun but beware they are addicting.Good luck and god bless

get a CZ. great pistols. see sig below.

to answer your original question about the decocker - they are safe. i see them used in ipsc production division competition all the time. it's safer than using your weak hand to lower the hammer with the trigger pulled.

as always, keep the gun in a safe direction any time you decock - it should be as natural as keeping your finger clear of the trigger guard any time you are not intentionally engaging a target.

Well, I went ahead and "pulled the trigger". Turns out it was a P-01, which made the decision even easier. I got a good deal because it has been sitting almost a year! The dealer says if it's not a Glock, no one in this area has heard of it.

Now I get to sit and wait 72 hrs because Der Fehurer Daley thinks if I'm allowed to take a handgun home right away, it will kill someone. Nevermind the more powerful handgun sitting C&L at home that hasn't managed to get loose yet, but I digress.

Who makes good, cheap mags for the 75 compact? And where should I look for a holster?

Thanks for helping make a good decision!

Congrats!... You're gonna love the P-01... the 'best' and favorite CZ I own.
Now the Collections starts... 75B next, the SP-01 Tactical, and you're off!

 

[burningsquirrels]

just don't overlook the 40b

 

[GZOh]

40B???... How's anyone gonna even find one NIB since you bought all of 'em up bs!...

Boy, those were 'the good old days' when you could buy one of CZs best for under $300!!!

I got some mags for the 75 compact from TOP GUN great price and service
give em a look.

Awesome weapon - you won't be disappointed!

As for magazines - one word: mec-gar

Holsters are a little harder to find but they're out there. Try K&D holsters, HBE leatherworks, and RCS also makes a nice kydex (the Phantom) holster.

just got rid of a cz75; liked everything but the trigger; i'd rather have either a xdm or a sig...and do.

My CZ75B's trigger wasn't the best. I'll be the first to say that, no matter how much I love the pistols, the triggers could be better.

I first did five minutes of polishing, which worked nicely. But I wanted more.

So I went ahead and installed a comp trigger and 15 pound mainspring. The difference is night and day.

The difference is night and day.

HHhmmm. . . I've preachin' this for a while now, pretty awesome isn't it??

GZOH,

Seems like "SOMEONE", uh, who could it be, that was preachin' this several months ago. Just havin' some fun with ya ole' buddy.

 

[GZOh]

"Credit, where credit is due"... Yeah, both you and bs were kinda the first to 'spread the gospel' about the 40B... and it is a great CZ!!
When it becomes a true 'collectors item' and worth $$$, bs will be able to retire on all the 40Bs he's got stashed away!!

CZ seems to be replacing the actual 75b that's been around for 3+ decades. apparently, also have a new trigger system in the PO-7.

thanks to steve, i now carry a fullsize SP-01. holy crap, good holsters really do work.... 19+1 of 9mm far outdoes the 8+1 of 380 i used to have... and i "feel" the sp-01 less than the little 380. i might try tuning a magazine so i could carry a 40b with 13+1. just need night sights now.

oh wait, what's this about triggers in this thread?the CZs i've gotten out of the box or LNIB all have had good triggers... not great, but good. but give me an hour and....

Hey "G" man,

I have a SA trigger in my parts bin. How does it work on the 40B? I know it fits, just wondering if you can still use the DA? I don't care for the standard 40B curved trigger, thinkin' about changing it out.

Buying a CZ is like buying almost custom work particularly in the fit and finish, all smooth surface no sharp edges or snag points dehoned, most other brands dont dehone without charging for an upgrade model, I have 75B 30th anniversary and just got a 75B stainless, love both, be sure to post your Range report congrats

Answer:
1. it works on the 40b like it would on any other CZ 75 pistol.
2. you cannot use DA. the trigger does not move foward enough. the pull is adjusted to stop the moment the sear breaks, and the release stops when the trigger resets.

NB:
1. i have a thread on the CZ forums on my SAO conversion. it's nothing, really, just drop the trigger in and adjust.

Started with a 75b, I got a PCR about a month ago. Trying to locate a Rami with decocker to buy next. The best trigger I have on ANY gun is the PCR.

I put laser grips on the 75B, just because I was bored, but it really didn't need them, but even more fun to shoot.

Where did you get the cocobolo grips?
