Going to be getting a CZ 75 P-01 within a year and so just looking for CZ owners input and experience in their CZ.

I now only have one semi auto: CZ75-B Omega. Fits my hand, shoots better than I can and did not cost mega $$$$.

I've had a P01 for a few years, and have to say it is my favorite handgun. Fits my hand like it was literally molded for me, and everyone who holds/shoots it seems to have the same opinion. Flawless performance through several thousand rounds.
Did I mention I like this gun?

I have the larger CZ SP01. I cut back on handguns, but kept it. Heavy, but a good gun.

I have a CZ82, military surplus, $219. Fantastic pistol, I can only imagine how good they make them when they are really trying.

CZ 75D Compact. Mine is excellent. Alloy frame, a very comfortable concealed carry. Reliable and accurate. A great 9mm.

I have a 75B, a PCR (alloy framed 75D Compact) & my little Rami. The PCR may be the most accurate semi I own.
They're shooters !

If you like the CZ line, I suggest looking at the EAA Witness pistols. The quality is outstanding and theit models were more what I was looking for. Less money also.

Review what Mr. Jeff Cooper had to say of CZ pistols. I had a a 40P that just melted into my hand and was accurate beyond my ability. A CZ 75B 9mm will be my next purchase. There is a reason or two why a CZ is one of the most imitated/copied pistols in the world.

We have at least one, maybe two, CZ topics active now in this forum. Please read those. I can only repeat here what I said there.
Note that I posted in one of those and in the Lounge about CZ pistols on the Australian TV show, "Sea Patrol." Click my link there to see a CZ-85 held by the cute medic on HMAS Hammersley. Hers has the spur shape hammer. Note the safety on the right; it is a CZ-85, not a CZ-75. The lettering on her cap is legible, so not a flipped transparency. You don't see a lot of CZ's in films and on TV, and I think that's hurt the brand's popularity.
My CZ-75B has never jammed and is very accurate. It 's certainly on par with my Beretta M-92FS and that's saying something. The gun fits the hand very well. My son is also impressed with the CZ, and he has several of the more publicized 9mm's, too. I like the stainless one, but most have that duck-tailed tang that I hate. The epoxy (?) finish has held up well on mine, the basic CZ-75B.
The main issue with the basic CZ without a hammer-dropping safety is that you must be VERY careful in lowering a hammer on a live round...as with Colt, Browning, Star, etc. SA pistols. (You can carry cocked and locked, if not preferring a DA carry.)
I think the best way to sell you a CZ-75, P-01, etc. is for you to pick it up and see how it feels. Shoot it, and you'll probably be hooked. You have been warned!

My first handguns were CZs, a vz.52 and a vz.50. A buddy sold them to me to go with my CZ motorcycles. More recently, I have added a CZ75BD Police. I would like to fill the gap in my lineup with a CZ82, or if need be a CZ83.
The CZ75 is the best-shooting pistol I have ever shot, way more accurate than I am. There are some other semis I would like to have, but I don't feel there are any I need to have.

My only experience with the CZ line to date is with their handguns. I started with one, a CZ-75 in 9mm, and now have four different CZ pistols - another CZ-75 in .40 S&W, a CZ-82 in 9mm Makarov, and a CZ-70 in .32 ACP. They are all extremely well made, rugged, dependable, and accurate. The workmanship is outstanding. Except for the CZ-70, they are interesting in that are finished in this ugly, but serviceable black paint - looks kind of like BBQ paint. These pistols are made for service. They may not win any beauty contest, but you'll love the way they perform.
I've enclosed photos of my CZ-70, and I'll try to add more photos later of my other CZ pistols.
Regards,
Dave

Great guns. A P01 is on my short list to get. The PCR is my current off duty gun.

FANTASTIC handguns in ALL regards! I own 7 of them. They are the most ergonomic of all. Accurate, rugged, reliable, easy to operate, fun to shoot, what else do you need?

CZ's have been around for many many years, and were always quality firearms. Most everyone I know of holds them in high regard.

I bought a P-01 last fall and guess I have a slightly different take on it. While it is a nice pistol and I generally like it, it isn't one of my favorites. I don't care for the way it takes down and it gives me a bit of trigger bite. I also prefer the consistent trigger pull of my striker-fired M&Ps. There are some things about it though, that helps me understand how some people become fans of them.

I own a few different pistols, amongst them a CZ 75 pre B. It's my favorite.
Shoot a full-size CZ with the factory rubber grips on it. It's a sublime experience.

Pics added!
I recently bought one the surplus CZ 75BDs. They were used by the Israelis (I think):
It is from the late'90s.
All I can say is that it truly lives up to its' reputation! Fantastic pistol!

I like CZ handguns a lot, including some of their clones, specifically Tanfoglios. For semi-auto 9mm, I have pretty much stayed with just CZ's and sold off everything else. To me, they feel like 1911's, and I like 1911's a lot (in .45ACP). Very ergonomic and soft shooting, with lots of options for upgrades.
I have one of my CZ's, a CZ SP01, upgraded with Cajun Gun Works parts and it is wonderful! It is one of my best shooting semis.

CZ's have a problem of being so addicting. It starts off simple enough with a single pistol, then another, and another then a rifle. I personally love CZ's and own a SP-01, P-01, P-09, CZ82, and a Pre-B converted to SAO. I also own a Sphinx SDP compact clone and have owned another Pre-B.
They shoot great, extremely accurate, reasonable cost, great aftermarket support, and just fit so well. Upgrading sights and finding holsters can be a little more of a pain, but those options keep increasing as they become more popular. CGW and CZ Custom both offer many trigger upgrades as well as full blown worked over/custom guns. The other problem with that is once you shoot an upgraded model a stock just won't do.

In my experience CZ makes high quality firearms, have a 223 which is a tack driver, 221 fireball the same and owned a 9mm that I loved. Never had a bad trigger on a CZ and all of them very accurate.

Went to a bigger gun store last nite and asked if they had any new CZ75's so I could look at one. None, said they sell too fast. Always liked the look of the 75's and hear only good about them. Getting a bug lately to buy one.
Had a CZ SxS 12 ga sidekick that was built very well. It was a quality piece that gave years of service. Now have a Drulov free pistol made by CZ. It's simple, well fit and accurate. The .22 rifles made by them the owners rave at how good they shoot. Great guns, Larry

While I do like the CZ Pistols, I swear by the rifles, especially the small bores. I personally think you can find none better for the money.
What I own:
CZ452 Military Trainer 22LR
CZ455 American 17HMR
CZ455 American 22WMR
CZ527 American 17 Hornet

I have a Tanfoglio P18, the forerunner to the Witness, CZ75 clone. Fitted with a single action only trigger it is a great gun. Only problem is that the chamber is pretty tight and this gun prefers light (100 gn) and fast (1250 fps +) loads.
Unfortunately even 115/124/125 gn loads shoot very low. I got an adjustable sight for the Witness but the dovetail was too wide. The gunsmith I sent it to told me that any available adjustable sight would not fit due to the hammer position so I'm getting a new, properly regulated semi-fixed sight installed.

CZ Rifles...... oh ya!!!!
A 452FS/mannlicher in .22magnum is my "walking in Penn's Woods" rifle.
Several .22lr 452s, a 453 varmint in .17hmr and a couple of 527s in .223 including another FS/mannlicher are all good to go!!!!!
Only one pistol a 75B................... too many Smiths

I still have a few CZs in the stable. A CZ P01 & CZ 75B. I used to have a 40P and a Compact but I stopped shooting 40 S&W and my sister in law liberated the Compact from me. They are excellent guns and I miss the days of $350 NIB CZs because most people had never heard of them. I am considering getting a CZ P10 once the initial hysteria dies down.

Got to handle a what looked like a P01 today at the funshow, but it was steel framed and not aluminum. Fit the hand beautifully but still too heavy for me to use for carry. Someday I may get to fondle a P01 Omega. We will see what that feels like weight wise.

Yes, but I keep winding up with "CLONES". Never had a genuine CZ. Latest 1 was from G.B. in December. Israeli Military/police surplus I.W.I. Jericho. It was un-issued. 40 S&W, steel. Not a mark on it. Feels great in my hand. Still will buy a genuine CZ if I get a chance. Bob

I have had a P-01 for quite awhile now and just love it, I also have few CZ rifles, rimfire and centerfire I think they are quality accurate firearms.
