Hi Michael.
I'm an unasbashed CZ fan from the good old days.
Really enjoyed your show on the CZ factory with Milan that you did a few years ago.
Knowing that there is at least one other CZ owner on here. Hello to Mr. Camp.
I wonder what your professional opinion of the current crop of CZ firearms happens to be?
Hope you can drop by the forum and take a look at my CZ-ZONE, too.

"CZIMPLY THE BEST!"
-
During my most recent shopping spurt I was lookin'- there's a dealer near me that usually has half a dozen CZ's and they seem well made and some are pretty sharp looking too- especially the higher end pistols.
I was concerned about parts & repairs and such and went main stream instead, but I could easily C a CZ in my future.

I have one of the little mutants*, the CZ40P. I love it, shoots well, fits my small-ish hands well, no bite, lots of fun. Well made. Only negative is cleaning it requires a trip to the manual, has weird marks that have to align in the right sequence to drop the slide.
* Mutant cuz it has the frame of the P01 and the slide of the CZ40B. From reports I've heard, they stopped making these a short time after I bought mine, people who ordered the P got the B instead.

I have the CZ RAMI in 9mm. I was my carry gun for a long while. Used it in IDPA also. It is a great gun for me.
-
75B 9mm here. I carry it fairly regularly on the ranch, and shoot it in competition when I can.

I have a TZ75 and the only downside is its still hard to find reg. cap mags here in MA.

For the money I think the CZ75B is the best value out there. For $400 (or less) you get an ALL Steal, very well built gun.
Ergonomics is only second to the Hipower.
It can be carried cocked and locked or hammer down.
The only issue I have is the camming action of the trigger in SA mode. But that can be fixed.

I also like the CZ line , except the one I sold to a man who used the decocker and shot a HP thru his thigh , while he was showing it. He was a dealer and I sold it to him because I dont do 9mm . cant remember the series ,but it was new back in 93. It was a full size pistol and very nice, s/a d/a . Turned me off.

I carry a 40p. Just love it.
JT40P :)

Hello. My CZ's remain the Pre-B's that I bought years ago. Not surprisingly, they continue to serve well. I have seen several of the CZ-75B and 85 version pistols at the firing range. Some were being used by CHL folks qualifying for their carry licenses and others by folks just practicing. I've observed no problems with the guns used in CHL qualifications over the years.
Best.

I too am a CZ fan. I currently have an old cz75 with no import marks. It is the military model with lanyard ring and baked painted black finish. Very slick action, I changed the rear sight and did a single action trigger job and just shoot it. It really likes 124 grain Israely carbine ammo. Another cz i have is an 83, .380, lot of features for the money, dot sights, ambi safety and mag release. Shoots really well, as good as my walther PP did. I had an 85c and it was really nice, but a friend had a Sako Finnbear in .338 win mag, in a McMillan stock he offered to trade with a little boot money and I could not refuse. Next is my 527 european .223 rifle with detachable mag and single set trigger. It shoots great and is a joy to carry. Last I have a cz617 .17 HMR semi auto, it had problems at first but the warranty station happened to be very close to me and they have made it better, but would not tell me the fix. It was blowing out case heads and not extracting, when I called the gunshop and asked if they had seen this, there was a pause and then yeah, as a matter of fact we are the beta shop for coming up with a fix. It runs pretty well now and I've not put the required 200 rounds through it before I bring it back.
Yeah, I gots me some CZ love.

I just sold my CZ 100, it was the only CZ I owned.

CZ is my favorite semi-auto pistol maker. I swear by my 75B and P-01. Thousands of trouble-free, accurate rounds.
I'd love to see CZ pistols featured on DRTV, or elsewhere in the sprawling Bane Media Empire. Am very interested in CZ's forthcoming P-06 (a P-01 in .40 S&W!). That might just be my first .40.

I have a witness limited, made by Tangfoglio. Basically a customized CZ. The design of the CZ is just awsome, nothing feels as comfortable in my hand as it does. Makes it a breeze to bring to target quickly. After literally thousands of rounds, can't hardly remember but a few ftf's and those were reloads. Anybody gets a chance to handle one, do so... you'll probably end up with one.

Angus Hobdell practically grabbed me and shook me at the Steel Challenge to get me to promise to do some stuff on CZ!
Who can say no to Angus?
No, wait...don't answer that!
I've always liked CZs...I shot some IPSC with one of the old gray market guns from Canada in years past, and I'm always surprised at how well they feel in your hand.
Our pal Milan designed the RAMI, and I shot the proto a bunch when I was in the Czech Republic...that is, when I wasn't swilling the pocal pilsner and ogling the women...

There is a great video with a CZ in it without sights. D.R. Middlebrooks uses one very well for you CZ fans.

Years ago, I rented/borrowed as many different 9mm evil bottom feeders as I could, and let my new bride select her .25 Beretta's replacement. She picked the CZ-75B. I bought her one from my nearest pusher - it came with the nice thumbrest grips and both a high and a 10 count mag - I soon had more aftermarket 15 rd-ers (Cabela's!). My wife started giving it an accelerated life-test, shooting hundreds of UMC or Blazers at every range trip. It never hiccupped... a fine performer. It shot to point of aim at 12-20yd. I never tried it for SPC, sad to say, as I couldn't leave the purity of the round gun. During the previous run of SPC at the local range, I, with mt .45 ACP 625, was properly dispatched by a CZ-75 in a shoot-off. Sadly, my wife tired of the CZ, and we sold it to a friend. The first week found it's new owner severing the take-down pin/slide stop - and learning that they were a problem in that run of '75's. His arthritis worsened, and he traded it due to the difficulty he had working the slide. I offered to respring it, but he wanted a Beretta '92... got one... loves it... it's easier to work - hopes it will one day be as good - and as accurate - as his 'old '75'. If I break my recent trend of 'revolvers only' and buy another evil-bottom-feeder, it'll be either a CZ-97B (.45 ACP '75!) - or another CZ-75.
Of course, I have had CZ's for years - well before the '75 - but they are all CZ-452's - .22LR - 'Special', 'Trainer', and 'Super Exclusives'. My long guns are now an assortment of them - and a Puma M1892. I have NEVER been less than completely satisfied with a CZ product.
