CZ Clone has taken over as #1 CCW

[GRU_ 7_ mech]

When I bought my SD9VE I thought it was great....I still do!! However I have a new #1 carry pistol...a Tri Star C100 CZ 75c clone. If this is only a clone, and it has impressed me like no other gun I have owned...... I have to save my pennies and get a real CZ!!! Not saying goodbye to my SD...I truly like that gun very much, but the C100 is amazing.

What do you like about it?

Turkish? Made by Canik?

Yes, you'd probably like the real CZ at least as well.

To see a CZ-75 in use in a TV series, go to The Lounge and check my topic on, "Sea Patrol." The Australian sailor lady firing it has one with the older spur hammer. Most or all now have the burr hammer like on your gun. Scroll down in that thread and click on my separate photo link to see the girl with the gun. That series often used CZ-75's as well as Browning 9mm's. No idea if this was a prop availability thing or if the Royal Australian Navy actually uses some CZ's.

My experience with a CZ-75B has been very positive: no jams and excellent accuracy and feels great in my hand. Priced right, too.

You do need to be VERY CAREFUL in lowering a hammer on a live round. As with a Colt, etc. They do offer a 75BD and other models that have a hammer-lowering safety.

^^^ yes the CZ 75BD is an awesome gun. Trigger is about 5#. I know because I just checked mine tonight. 9# in DA. This does not have a mag safety so beware/ careful. A round in the chamber goes boom without a mag. That's why I like my BD ..D stands for decocker..

That looks just like the CZ 75 D PCR Compact that my husband is determined to get, after trying my CZ 75B.

I'm with mbliss57, I really like my CZ 75BDs, both a full size and a Compact. Hard to find duty holsters for them and for that reason I haven't put mine in my duty rotation. But I carry them around my place here. Never had any ftf or fte either.

CZ's are a neat design that kinda reminds me of my Browning HP,

Currently have a CZ 75 Kadet, CZ 75B in SS and a 1994 CZ 85 (Pre B), that I really liked until the R side slide stop sheared off and found out CZ doesnt offer replacement parts for it anymore

I know I'm swimming against the stream here, but I've had four CZs or clones and got rid of them all. I just couldn't shoot them as well as I shot most everything else I owned....at least in terms of a Browning HP, my 5906, Beretta 92, and 39 no dash.

I had an "original" CZ 75 purchased from a fellow who brought it back from Germany PX when they weren't imported here plus two TZ75s which were really, really close to the CZ and a TriStar L120. I couldn't figure out what the problem was but they just didn't feel right or shoot right for me.

I kept going back to them because "everyone" said how great they were, and for them I'm sure they were great. But not for me. But it just goes to show....ya gotta take the gun in hand and shoot it and not just rely on the Interwebs for advice.

I agree about the SD9...I like that a lot. Had a bit of the Apex kits installed and a little polishing and it's a SHOOTER. And two of my other plastic guns seem to do me well: Walther PPX and SW990L. My metal guns....well, I've been winnowing out the safe from a bunch of good guns to a few really good guns. Recently acquired a Walther C5, Sig 226 to go with Sig P6 and, of all things, a Lahti M40.

Here's that pic of the CZ-75 with the longer hammer spur.

I've heard a lot of good things about that Tristar. But call me kooky, I'll stick with my genuine CZ's (Not knocking)

I have a 75B in 40, P-07 in 9MM and a 2075 RAMI in 40 and 9MM. Also have a bunch of older CZ pistols.

 

[Texas Star]

I just took a closer look at the CZ in the photo link above. Has the right hand side safety, an ambidextrous one. Can't be a flipped transparency; the lettering on the girl's cap is correct. The gun must be a CZ-85.

Look carefully. You'll see the safety. I was too distracted by the actress to notice this the first time I looked.

 

[RJJ 1971]

Not to hijack thread. But I like my tristar atac shotguns.
Had 2 of them, only sold one of them to a buddy, because he couldn't find any around here for what I paid for mine.
They shot up in price $125 - $150 more in less than a year.

Gonna have to try a Tristar pistol soon. But I'm having too much fun with my sar k2p - cz clone.

 

[S&WIowegan]

I'm not knocking the product, but wondering if anyone here has had any warranty claims?? How did it workout?

 

[GatorFarmer]

My CZ 75 SP01 has out shot my recent spate of 9mms - Taurus 92, old 459, 5906, Ruger P series, Kel Tec, Citadel 1911.... The gun is heavy, but I like it. My version has night sights.

I prefer cocked and locked.

 

[tekarra]

I like my C100 a whole lot. Because of its lighter weight, it has replaced my cZ 7 Compact for daily carry.

When I bought my T120 they only gave a one year warranty. Don't know if that's changed since. I broke the firing pin just out of warranty. Called TriStar. The guy said he'd never heard of one breaking before. He asked for a mailing address and said it's on its way. No charge. Had it in less than a week.

I love the pistol. It seems to just fit my hand perfectly. It's definitely my current favorite. I have around 6000 rounds (best estimate) through it at this point.

I just wish the CZ clones had decockers. That's my only major gripe.

Bran new one here as well. It feels a bit different from my other cz75s.
Out shoots them all.
I get threw Sheridan every couple of months. I have bought from the Big R and rocky mountain.

 

[amcline82]

Why would you not just have saved and not got the TriStar. And got a CZ?

 

[Arik]

Huh? They do! You get either a decocker or a 1911 like safety

Never mind. I'm thinking of CZ. I don't know all the clones
