CZ Clone has taken over as #1 CCW

[Old TexMex]

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.

Yes. Definately an 85. It has safety and slide release on both sides with reversable mag release.

CZ85 is the ambidextrous version of the 75

Imitation is the highest form of flattery!
Enjoy it.......

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

Jerichos - modified Tanfoglio clones made by the Israelis - can be had with a slide safety/decocker, much like a Beretta or S&W semiauto. They're now made/imported by Magnum Research as the Baby Eagle. One of them is on the wishlist to join my SP01 Tactical, though a 75BD comes first. I have enough familiarity with a slide safety from my 5903 that will transfer over nicely.

I agree with you, though, that if someone else made a CZ75 clone with a frame decocker, they would sell every one they could make.

My cz85db is awesome and accurate too.

It's the choice of the Russian spec ops. Cz75.

The IDF / Israeli Defense Forces uses a CZ 75 design clone as well, called the "Jericho." IWI has brought them to the US.

Their design is based on the Browning Hi-Power indeed, as one poster pointed out.

I have the 75BD "Police" version, and it's the HD gun.

Has never had a malf in 500 rounds, built like a tank, feels great in the hand.

Yea they use a few different handguns. CZ, Glock and Strike 1 are the 3 that I know of

Just a follow up on the C100. The pistol is so good I actually think I have no reason to buy a real CZ or any other pistol.
Sighting is not like my SD9....the 3 dots on it are at the 6 o'clock position for best results and on the Tri Star they are dead center for best results. I did wish it had a decocker, but now I have adapted to it. Does seem strange to carry a pistol in condition one again. Have not done that in over 40 years.
The little additional weight it has is not bad, but is differently noticeable compared to the SD9VE over a day of carrying it. The grip is very comfortable with the LOK thin grips. Wish the SD9 had a replaceable grip.
Ammo wise...the C100 seems to prefer heavier ammo (124 gr at the least...135gr or 147gr seems to fire center hit more.

For just over $400, I put this with or above any Ruger, S&W or Beretta I have owned. Never owned a Glock..(do not like the feel of the grip)..I have nothing against the company or guns they make.

NOTE... The new warranty (grandfathered to current owners of Tri Star pistols) is now 1 year full parts and maint labor....AND 4 ADDITIONAL YEARS for parts.
