First CZ, a special one

[mainegrw]

I too recently caught the CZ bug, and have picked up a couple well-made CZ 75 clones over the last 2 weeks. The first was a Tristar C-100 made by Canik, it is a 75B Compact clone, and a darn good one at that. The second was a Tanfoglio TA90, an early precursor to the Witness pistols. It is, as I refer to it, a 75B with an Italian flair, and again an excellent pistol.

There almost was a number 3 last night, a used CZ 75B in 40 caliber, though I had to pass on it when the dealer expressly forbid my inspection of the internals. My feeling is that they were hiding something, as I have never been prevented from inspecting the internals of a firearm before at this shop or any other before, and after being burned a few times on used guns over the last six months or so, including other guns purchased from this particular dealer, I am now inclined to be extra careful.

Anyway, enjoy that CZ, they are hard to beat.

MarshWheeling, sad to say I bought it at a local gun show and that was some years ago. You can see where they basically copied the Walther PP design except the CZ 82 is slightly bigger. Sort of a PP on steroids. Course it does hold 12 rounds in the mag and one up the pipe. Frank

I don't know about the rest of you fellas, but any gun shop telling me I can't inspect the gun will never see me again. That's a poor way to do business. I have a hard time believing he has any customers doing business like that.

Never heard of a gun shop not allowing a simple inspection.

I'm begging to the CZ gods that they come out with a CZ 75 compact single stack.

One of the reasons I like the CZ is that they are a double stack that fits my hand when I use thin grips. A single stack would be nice for reduced weight, but my opinion has been that if I'm going small, I should go really small (Nano). That's one reason I've stayed away from the Rami, the Shield, and the Glock 43. They are small, but not small enough, nor big enough--kind of the worst of both worlds.

So, I have a P01 for carry, but bought this 75 pre-b last week, and put thin aluminum grips on it. I've posted picts elsewhere, but it's so darn pretty that I'm going to post the pictures again here

I have 5 CZs; 3 pistols (A SAO 75b, a P01, and a PCR), a CZ 452 American rifle in 22LR that will drive tacks at 50yds bone stock, and just traded for a beautiful CZ Hammer Coach SxS 12GA.
