My ancestry n my dad's side made me want one. I have a surplus CZ85 which I hope to get refinished by the end of the year and start buying some of them fancy CGW parts. I've seen another gunbroker seller who had hoards of surplus 75's for under 375 and wouldn't mind buying one that says Czechoslovak.
I read way too much good info on them, and I love steel guns. The Beretta, while cool, wasn't something I wanted to buy and Sigs have never shot that well for me. So I wanted to find a CZ SP-01 (wanted a rail) and eventually I did. It felt incredible but at the time I used the cash to buy my first AR. Then I went to the NRA show in Indy here a few years back. And stopped at the CZ booth. And died. I could not believe how all the varieties there felt better in my hand than the TRP on my hip. From that point on I waited on CZ's custom shop or gunbroker to turn up an SP-01 Shadow. Got it this past January and I couldn't be happier. Either a P-09 TB or a P-01 is next on the list.
...Or a Magpulled AK. Sigh. Too many options.

I own a 75B that my son likes to shoot and a early 85 that I acquired working overseas. The finish on the 85 is not the poly like my 75B this is more of a smooth parkerized finish.
3 pre B 75's that were Czech police turn ins.
1 2075 Rami in .40 S&W
CZ453 rifle. .22lr american style with the set trigger.
Really want a 75 compact and an 85 Combat. Funds are currently low however.
I have owned as many as 3-4 other 452s in various configurations but the Annies and Kimbers bumped them from the line-up.

The CZ 40 B was the best quality semi auto I could afford when I decided to move out of revolvers.
I recently acquired a 75B and I am luke warm to it right now. I have sipped the koolaid but have not had the full gulp yet. I think the factory sights really turned me off to it initially but I had hear such good reviews on here that I went ahead and took it on a trade. I know I can change the sights easily but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. The jury is still out for me.

Since Cz actually makes the "ch" sound... is this thread pronounced "the chickness?"
That being said, I've had my eye on an SP06 for a while now. Solid reputation and sweet shooting... hard not to buy it!
Shooting a friends 97b is what got me interested.

I shot a Phantom a buddy had. Loved it. Bought one days later at the 1500. Wife liked it too. Bought another one. Then I shot the P-01. Loved it. Bought one. Then bought another. Then I had to get a 75BD. I'm done. I think.
Probably done. I think.
Probably not.

This is very true, and is the only real thing I don't care for with my P-01. The dots on my sights seem to keep getting smaller and smaller, and I haven't gotten around to finding suitable replacements for them yet.
My thoughts exactly. Once you shoot Dawson Precisions it's hard to like anything else but it appears as they do not have a set for my 75B (front sight only available for the 75B)...this makes me sad... Those tiny dots on the factory sights are a bear to pick up and maintain front sight focus with.
Somewhere back around 2009, I decided to standarize the carry guns for the family and started looking at 9mm pistols. At the time, I wanted something with a safety and did not like polymer guns. I had it narrowed down to a Hi Power or CZ when I found a TZ88 for trade here on INGO and traded a Bersa 380 for it (plus a bit of cash). About 6 months later, I picked up a Compact CZ-75B and was hooked. Later that summer, I saw pre-Bs on sale for under $300 so I picked up 3 of those as well as an AR24K (Armalite's Sarsilmaz CZ compact clone). The pre-Bs went to my sons and the wife got the AR (she's not a gun person so it sits in a box in case she decides she wants to practice some). Somewhere along the line, I picked up a CZ 97B and a Rami but ended up selling both before I realized how much of a difference CGW could make to the feel of a gun.
Right now, my world makes sense to me if I keep my 9mm to the CZ platform, .40s to the Glock and .45s in 1911s. Each time I stray from that formula, I end up just wasting money on guns I don't shoot much.

My fondness for CZ began with the CZ 452 rifle. Those are such quality guns it made me very interested in their handguns. I'm not a fan of plastic firearms, so I was immediately attracted to the 75B. I found a used one. Super accurate. Comfortable to shoot. I fell in love with it. Recently purchased a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical and that's a great gun. I'm looking to get a RAMI sometime in the future. I also really want to explore the "cajunizing" I keep reading about. I have no experience gunsmithing though so I'm not too sure I want to do the work myself.
I know of this man. I'd like to meet up with him and the Mouse mod some time. Still peeved I couldn't make the last CZickness meet up.
We can make this happen. I will be sure to have both of them with Me....BA and his side kick the CZ Whisperer.
I completely agree with this. I have tried CZ's in 40. They are good, no doubt about it, but for me, they are just perfect in 9mm. In my case, it's the CZ in 9mm, Springfield in .40 (or was, before I recently divested from that caliber), and keeping it somewhat in the CZ family, a Dan Wesson for the 45.

The feel and look drew me to the P-09. After I shot it I realized I made a good choice. Unfortunately mine was a lemon... A broken trigger return spring early on and right now its at CZ getting the trigger fixed, the double action quit working (this was all under 100 rounds fired, although probably a thousand dry fire).. Hopefully when I get it back everything will be fixed and I never have any more problems with it. I briefly thought about dumping it after I get it back, but I love the pistol so much and have never heard of the problems mine was having, so that's what makes me think I got a lemon.
