cz75 at the range

pute62 · 02-13-2009

got to stop by the range the other day and shoot my cz75 rof the first time. man, what a shooter. i have a astra 40 cal that would rock but this 75 out did it right down to the ground. at 50 yards i could keep bouncin a can every shot. i'm not a gun hater but you can have those plastic glocks and the high doller xd's i/ll hang onto my cz now that it know what it will do. figure if it can out shoot me it's a keeper.

The late great Col Jeff Cooper was devoted to the 1911 pattern guns but the one modern handgun that he made an exception for was the CZ 75. I tend to agree with him. I've tried many guns, love my 1911s and won't give them up. But next in line is the CZ 75 with the frame mounted safety (they do make De-Cocker versions, those are not as highly favored for carry as the original configuration with the frame mounted safety). The controls are virtually identical to the 1911, the gun can be carried in SA mode with the gun 'cocked and locked', and the accuracy of the CZ 75 is proven to be astounding. What is not to like?

Welcome to the club! They are fantastic weapons. Accurate, reliable and fits my hand like a glove. If I had the extra money, I would have several different models. Enjoy it.

As the new owner of a CZ P01....Shhhhhh! Don't let everyone know or these babies are going to be selling for over 1K. What can you say about an extremely reliable, extremely accurate, extremely attractive, extremely durable handgun with great ergonomics for a reasonable price. These would be great guns at twice the price.

Excuse me, what I meant was, who would want some Czech piece of crap?

CZ-75 love! Makes me smile.

CZ 75BD [decocker version] here. It's too big to pack around every day, but it's a great shooter and home defense gun. It was also a great bargain at $300 for a LNIB CZ!

Glad to see we have another CZ convert!

Next to the 1911 the CZ is the most copied handgun in the world, I think. Unfortunately the 2 I own are from the days of the Evil Empire when Russia controled the Czechs and they could not be imported into the US directly. If you owned a CZ back in the mid 80s you were very lucky, well except they cost $800-$1000 then! I have an original CZ and one of the rare "Tropical" versions. Both non import marked and absolutely perfect. Try the .22 conversion unit. It works much better than my Colt conversion unit. I'd love to get a CZ 83 next. The CZ 452 .22 line of rifles are equally amazing. I shot my CZ 452 Lux just as well as my buddy with his custom built Kimber the other day. I want a 452 Varmit next. Maybe I'll try to trade my Trainer off for one. Man I talk to much..... LOL.

I was stationed in Germany in the late 80s on a remote air defense missile site. Our radars - for which I was responsible to keep operational - happened to look into what was then Czechoslovakia. Some friends of mine who were active shooters at the time tried to get me to buy a pistol they got a great deal on through the rod and gun club they belonged to. They paid about $150 brand new for some Czechoslovakian import pistol that they tried to assure me was a good deal, but I thought must be some communist piece of crap like a Yugo. The joke's on me, of course, 'cause now as you all can guess, I wish I'd bought ten of the CZs I could have had so easily and cheaply.

I am only a few weeks from purchasing my first pistol and from what Ive read, heard and a friends heavy persuasion I will most likely be joining the club. Looking at the PO6 myself.
