After months of waiting and looking I finally got a CZ 75 SP-01. Traded in my Beretta M9A1. The CZ feels great, better then the Beretta and more accurate. Sorry 686 revolver, but I'm looking forward to some quality range time with my new semi-auto in the foreseeable future.

One of my co-workers has one and it is one of the sweetest shooting guns I have ever fired. Almost .22 like--and I generally find 9mm prettty snappy.

I've had a few and now own a SP-01. For me CZ's are the best all metal SA/DA semi-auto's on the market.

Back in the late Seventies CZ75's were hot sellers in the Rod & Gun Club on Rhein-Main Air Base.

CZ/Jawa also made some dandy motorcycles in the 70s.

Everyone knows all CZ 75 variants are nice pistols, but until you own one........
I got mine on Saturday! A 75 B SA, three hundred rounds yesterday, no offence to my S&W 25 or 1911s, but it is probably the best shooting pistol I've ever shot! Pardon my enthusiasm.
Enjoy it Sir!

Have a CZ and it's a great handgun!

Great guns, own quite a few CZ's. Just fun guns to take to the range.

I certainly like the grip of the metal CZs' over the Beretta 92. I find I can close my hand more like a fist for a tighter grip and therefore trigger control.

Congrats on purchasing one of the highest quality 9mm pistols being offered. I have a cz85db which is a amberdexterious cz75. I waited 30 years to buy a 9mm pistol. I'm glad I waited for the cz. Looking for a pistol in 9mm was like looking for a wife you know when the right one comes along. I was looking but not ready to buy till I spotted the cz85db. Love the da first shot. Don't forget to look at the cz82/83 also there the same cz quality too.

I've shot my friends BD..Nice..I would have bought a CZ if they had one in 10mm.. got an EAA witness instead..

Handles and shoots like a CZ...

I have a .32 ACP CZ50 on consignment at a local gun shop. Lots of lookers, no takers, but it was a great little shooter, just had to thin the herd a bit. Surprisingly well made little gun. Maybe time to check out the 9mm variations.

I had been entertaining the idea of a CZ-75 for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on a new CZ-75 B last year. I am really impressed with it and consider it a worthy successor to the venerable Browning Hi-Power. Enjoy your new one!

Love the CZ 75 and the BHP but I am not sure how the CZ75 is the successor to the BHP? Can you expand on that? Is that a personal reference to their roles in your rotation or to the designs of the pistols?

I have been a CZ fan for years. I miss the days of $350 NIB Compacts and 75Bs.

I know this will be total blasphemy, but my 75 BD has taken the title of best ergonomic/feeling pistol away from my M39-2.

Do a spring swap with reduced weight hammer spring, swap the ****** CZ sights with a set of TruGlo TFX Pro (TG13CZ1PC) tritium/fiber optic combo sights... and it becomes one sweet setup.

Picked up my first a 75B last December....couldn't leave it behind ....an anib w/ box& Docs. for $400 out the door.

Handled my first years ago; LOL my life may have turned out differently if I'd been introduced to CZs before 3rd Gen Smiths.

Finding a CZ in California is like finding a unicorn, that's why it took me so long to get one. I got her out to the range and she performed well. I have to learn to adjust my grip coming from the Beretta. As someone said before, the CZ grip is narrow allowing for the shooter to seemingly have a tighter and higher grip on the firearm.

I have a thing for CZ's... I have to stop (and there are more...)

Boy, ain't that the truth... especially if you're looking for the 'BD" decocker model. Once I got the notion in my head about getting one, it took almost a year of haunting the local gun shops and CA gun forum classifieds before the one I bought turned up.

Btw... congrats on your acquisition!

I sorta view the CZ-75 B as a "product improved" Hi-Power as they are both are all steel, about the same size and weight and fill the same mission needs. Slide in frame, no magazine safety, better trigger with the option of cocked and locked or DA mode for the first shot. Along with the firing pin safety, good sights and better accuracy with a few rounds more ammo in the mag and no hammer bite. It just to me, feels like this is what a modernized Hi-Power would look like. No disrespect to the Hi-Power at all as I do really like mine. If you want to see a cool custom Hi-Power check out Nighthawk Custom.

I was just asking because a lot of people seem to believe that the CZ75 is a off shoot or a attempt to improve on the BHP or that they are somehow related. In reality they are very different guns. The only real similarities being caliber, steel, capacity and JMBs locked breech design.

The late Stephen Camp did a nice write on on the subject.

Browning/FN Hi Power and CZ-75: Are They Related?

I am not a huge fan of the Nighthawk BHP but do like custom BHPs. I own a few. I only have one BHP with a beavetail and that was done by Bob Cogan. Not sure I would do it again.

My current favorite is a MKIII base gun which was customized for me by Jim Garthwaite.


















It shoots pretty well. Typical target at about yards.

I love me some CZs too. Need to send the 75B to Cajun Gun Works.



I still love the P01. Used to have a PCR but my sister in law conned me out of it. Stupidity sold the all steel compact I had way back when. Need to replace that gun.

About 15 years ago I bought a Tanfoglio TZ-75 that I liked a lot but it had issues. I have been tinkering with it over the years and gradually getting it up and running properly. I recently added a CZ SP01 Shadow to the stable and it is just perfect for a nightstand/range gun. DA trigger like the best of my S&W's, and a SA trigger better than any 1911 I have fired. I have been giving strong thought to a P01 next.

They are about the best feeling semi auto out there. After years of 1911s, S&W 3rd generations, BHP & other various autoloaders, I have only 1: CZ 75 B Omega. First gun at hand for range or noises downstairs.

Welcome to the contented circle of CZ owners, of which I am one (and me, a J-hound! ) May I suggest that you obtain some additional magazines for your CZ. Every time I hear of another incident in the media, I think that another magazine ban could be in the offing...

I bought a 75BD about a year ago and then a Compact D about 6 months ago. Absolutely the best grips of any pistols I have, as well as the most accurate.

Interestingly, my Compact D is identical to the P-01 except for the markings on the slide- mine says "Compact D"- and the lack of the NSN number. From a search on the CZ forum it appears that Compact D is the product name for the P-01 in Europe. if CZ had run out of slides marked P-01 for the US market they substitute slides intended for the European market. No NSN number because of the differently marked slide.

The BD trigger threw me at first- DA starts at half cock then pulls through. The SA has a long but smooth pull to the break point. Then while shooting my 75BD I realized CZ adjusted the DA and SA pulls to try to make it as consistent between DA and SA as possible. So, the DA pull is shorter than, say, a P226 and the SA pull is purposely longer. That means less adjustment for the shooter between DA and SA than a traditional DA/SA hammer fired pistol.

Now I've got my eye on a PCR and another 75BD in the LGS's case!

Have one of the CZ82's in 9mm makarov. Accurate even with me behind the sights. Frank

I might have a thing for CZ guns. This is actually an older pic as I have bought a CZ455 and P-10c since the pic.

CZ club? I'm in.
Let's begin with the VZ.50:

The C&R VZ.82 is no slouch, either:

An Israeli surplus Pre-B I resurrected:

This is the new Compact. All steel. Now fully Cajunized:

And the big one a full up target gun, also Cajunized:

One of these will make you forget 3rd Gen S&Ws. Forever.
And don't forget those CZ rifles:

I still kick myself quite often for selling a beautiful pre-B CZ-75 some years ago. Lovely pistol in every way, but I needed money.

Where can one find these CZ's, they appear OOS almost everywhere?

Don't know anything about the CZ pistols except that everything I have read about the 75 is positive.

However, I'm becoming a big fan of their rifles. Not my picture but I have this rifle in 6.5x55

You can't go wrong with the CZ75! Here in SA they've been available for decades from the very earliest models with the short slide rails. I've had experience with many of them including the very nicely blued early models. I have small hands and they are very comfortable. The sights also worked better for me on the CZs than my G19.

I bought the two tone CZ in the late 80's but couldn't get it licensed so sold it to a mate who still has it. It gobbles up anything. The CZ85 is a bit more sensitive. In the target I shot two 5 shot groups. The shots landing at the bottom were truncated cone flat points that the CZ85 didn't like. Wouldn't go into battery. The CZ75 didn't mind it but shot low. Shot at 10m/33 feet standing.

My latest CZ acquisition, 91101 unfired NIB.

I hope to own a CZ, someday. Have had & enjoyed clones though. Is there any reason the 686 & CZ can't go to the range together??? Are you afraid they won't get along? Enjoy! Bob

My first CZ, a 2075 RAMI along with a Lobo holster.
This one will NOT be the last CZ I buy.

Please excuse the slightly out-of-focus cell phone pictures.

I have ordered them direct from both Buds and CZ Custom.

LGS received 2 of the new compacts. Owner kept one and called me about the other, which I scooped up.

Make the effort and you shall be rewarded!

I've checked Buds, OOS, l not checked CZCustom yet but II will.

I want one of those Rami's for next my gun, that's a lot of gun for the money.

CZ's are underrated except by the people who own and shoot them.

Edit: CZ Customs is OOS.

I'm looking for the D Rami.

The cz75 is the number one 9mm pistol on most of the 9mm pistol gun reviews.

It's also the choice of the Russian special ops too.

The CZ Kadet .22LR conversion unit is superb. Very accurate. Mine has never malfunctioned.

That's next for me.

Yeah...even I succumbed to the lure...I wanted one of the older ones, made in Czechoslovakia before the split into Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Found one of the imports that are being brought in from Israel. Just some handling and storage marks. Has an import Mark, but they take the barrel out, and engrave the mark on the barrel. You have to disassemble it to see it. Wonderful value, something like $300. For a while the same company had a pretty good selection of HPs as well, but they are mostly gone. Lot of little Smith semis as well. On GB, I think it's called CDI.

I don't really need a full size 9mm semi, but it's nice to shoot, and makes a nice house gun. If I was expecting real trouble, the extra mag capacity would be nice. Hefty, so not much in the way of recoil.

I actually am a fan of the CZs, have several surplus, a CZ 50, CZ 52, CZ 70, CZ 75and a CZ 82. ... I think that's all... All well designed and great products.

Best Regards, Les

I found my one and only CZ 75BD a couple years ago in like new condition and it appeared unfired. I have since shot the snot out of it and carried it in a holster which has worn a bit of the finish off but regardless IMHO the best modern all steel nine out there - stupid accurate and like shooting a .22. I can't remember if I posted this before but look closely and see if you can find what is 'wrong' with my CZ 75 BD.

Congrats! One word of warning, one CZ 75 leads to another.

I picked this up used. Inspection indicated that it wasn't shot often. I've since shot the snot out of it. It just gets better and better with use and maintenance.




Liked it so much that I wanted to carry a CZ 75D PCR.



That led to a pretty CZ 75B.

The slide is marked CZ 85B. I'm assuming that is what's wrong with it.

I have a 75B, a PCR and a Rami /D. All superb guns.

The PCR eats the centers out of targets, it's hard to miss with it.
