That's a good deal on a great package. In my experience CZ handguns are impressively accurate.

The start to get even better at around 500 rounds. They are probably the most copied gun ever. Totally reliable tack driver. I think CZ is the most under valued, under the radar company.

Great deal (steal) especially with all those magazines. CZ mags are not cheap.

If you reload for it and use lead rd nose bullets, you have to seat them way shorter than other 9mm barrels. The short lead (chamber) is like the Browning HP. Regular FMJ is a sharper point so no problem with those.

In mine using either 115 or 124 LRN from MBC I need to load them at 1.070 to 1.075 for them to drop in and out of the barrel, so try a low to middle powder charge.

Another timeless design. It has been here a while and will be here a long time to come. I'm going to get one in .40SW at some point. I like the copy that EAA calls the Witness even if I think Tanfoglio is making it for them.

I do load my 9mm lead rounds mid range around 800 to 900 fps. I tried my lead round nose and they fit in the barrel no problem. they have the same shape as the fmj. my 122 gr flat nose fit in the barrel also.

The CZ 75 is my favorite defensive handgun, and I've had a wheel-barrow full of defensive handguns over the last 40 years. The 1911 and Smith revolvers are tied for second place!

The CZ75 guns are just super pistols. I have both the full size 75 and the CZ Compact, both in 9mm. As an add on I bought the CZ Kadet .22lr conversion kit that fits on the full size frame. That .22 kit delivers match accuracy for me. It doesn't have jams or feeding problems and works both clean and dirty. Very underrated pistol family.
