Any CZ 75 owners out there?

[NuCentMAn]

was thinking about trying to track down some MA legals to price, and was wondering if anyone else has had that compulsion or would know where to find one?

Not being on the EOPS approved list, they're rather hard to find these days. I got mine a few years back when Carl at 4S managed to find a few. IIRC, they were just under $500 then.

I've got a CZ-75 that I bought in Germany back in '89. I've seen a few B models or clones, but not often. I believe The Gun Room in Shrewsbury has an EAA Witness in stock.

I was hoping to find a 4", but sounds like I'd just be making it harder on myself. What few piece there are to be had are most likely full sized. Thanks gents

Yup, that's where I got mine as well.

Managed to pick up a 75B from a guy at the club. I was a new member and he just mentioned he was selling it.

It was about 10 years old, came with four mags, including high cap, and two sets of grips. He'd only put about 250 rounds through it over the years. I paid $650.

I love that pistol. Added the Kadet .22 conversion kit and that is awesome as well.

Good luck,

Rich

I picked up a CZ-75 compact from R&R Sports in Belchertown about 5 years ago. I paid $375.

I normally don't play this game, but I picked up a CZ-75B from Bay State Arms some years back for $300. Spent another $100 for four hi-cap mags a couple of years ago. GREAT gun; nice and reliable. Still want to pick up a Kadet conversion for it. Someday... when I'm working again.

I bought a couple of dual tones (9mm and .40), but I haven't seen any around for a while.

Bought a 75B from a member here on NES for around $500 last year with 5 hicaps. Thought that was a pretty good deal and the gun runs great for me.

My father gave me one a few years back. great shooter. He picked two up from 4 Seasons.

I purchased a CZ-75B in 9mm while living in Michigan with an additional 22LR Kadet conversion unit. Great ergonomics and totally reliable with any ammo in 9mm somewhat fussy with 22 LR ammo.

That's about 5 total 75's found at 4 seasons in this thread, I'm gonna have to make the drive to Woburn and check out their used inventory. Thanks everyone.

I picked up a Sphinx .40 a number of years ago. Two-tone, hand-crafted in Switzerland like those old Swiss watches (before digital)! It is a CZ-75B clone but hand-fitted and they had an MSRP of >$2K (the model I bought was imported only thru 1979) and thus only a few hundred/year made it to the US. It is one sweet shooting gun!

 

[BLAM]

I got a two tone in .40 a decade ago for $400 at FS. It was shortly there after that Carl couldn't get anymore.

Sometimes you see used ones for sale at FS or in the forsale section here. Just have to keep your eyes open. Check the FS Used guns section on their web site daily to see what shows up.

My 22 LR conversion never worked well either.

Can anyone compare and contrast the CZ75 to a Sig 229? I like the looks of the CZ and have handled one but never had a chance to shoot one.

Sig 229 has a decocker and must be carried hammer down (or chamber empty). The CZ75B doesn't have a decocker. You can carry it cocked and locked. You can carry it hammer down, but you'll have to lower the hammer by hand.

The 229, like all Sigs, has a high bore axis. The CZ75 bore axis is relatively low. The stock sights on the CZ75B suck. Trigger is OK.

The CZ75 has also had problems with slide stop pins breaking.

You mean, cheaply made and not as good as American ones? I still do not understand how anyone considers a Swiss watch to be as good as an American railroad watch.

So advantage Sig?

There is a decocker version of the CZ75 also.

Not for me. I'd carry my CZ-75 cocked and locked before I'd carry my SIG. YMMV.
