    In that one, nothing. It’s my internal dialogue of the struggle I go through each time I want a different handgun than a Glock, but inevitably always look back at the Glocks.

    The question was jn the earlier post, asking about the opinions and thoughts of the CZ75B

    The CZ would be variety. As would a revolver, 1911 or DA/SA. A bunch of different poly striker fired pistols is silly. I know I have 3 different ones.

    I’m drawn to the CZ75B as well. It’s a quality firearm and reliable. Then again, I like a metal, hammer-fired handgun as opposed to a polymer striker-fired gun.

    I’ve hardly ever heard a bad word about CZ, which is another reason I’m interested.

    I fell in love with the CZ 75 (Pre-B) during Warsaw Pact weapons familiarization training in 1980. It had the same feel and heft as a Browning Hi Power except, it fit my hand better, was DA/SA and a helluva lot more accurate than any Hi Power I ever shot. Of all the Combloc weapons I got to familiarize with, the CZ 75 stuck-out like a sore thumb. I wanted one. Bad. Problem was, you couldn't get them (easily) during that era and if you could get one you were gonna pay dearly.

    Once the Wall came down in the early 1990's, things changed. CZ products began to trickle-out of the the newly-formed Czech Republic but, CZ's first priority was to its military customers and supply to the civilian market never kept up with demand. It still doesn't. When you look at the size of the CZ factory in Uhersky Brod and compare it to either Glock or FN, it'll make you wonder how they do it. It's surprisingly small. It was also around this time that CZ added a firing-pin block to the CZ 75 to prevent discharges if the pistol was dropped and it became the 75B. It hasn't changed much since then, although, the pistol is now offered with a frame-mounted decocking lever, the BD model.

    I briefly owned a pre-B CZ 85, which was identical to the CZ 75 except it had an ambidextrous thumb safety. I didn't keep it for very long, though, because I was obsessed with S&W and Colt DA revolvers at the time and didn't buy another CZ until 2016. I now own six of them. FML.

    I like CZ's because they consistently deliver more than their price tag indicates. They're extremely reliable, accurate, simple to maintain and built like a brick shithouse.

    I’ve been contemplating buying a USA CZ 75, but I can’t really justify the price when I could get two more glocks for the price of the CZ. Anyone have any experience with them and care to share their opinion?

    An all steel gun is almost always going to cost more because of the additional steel and machining required. Your LE/MIL discount adds to the issue.

    Very nice testament:lol:
    The person who introduced me to CZ was an Army vet, he had a CZ 75 all steel that he bought while he was stationed in Germany and brought back. Up till the point that I handled it, my mind was set on a Glock...but once I handled the CZ...it felt so good in hand I started looking for my own. I couldn't find the CZ 75 but I found the first gen CZ P07 and bought it..I still have it today as well as a feeeew more.

    Rumor had it that the Company Commander of B 2/6 got a hold of a CZ 75 from a Canadian counterpart who was in town to do urban warfare training with us. Paid, like, $700 for it. That was 1981. $700 back then was like $2k now and you could buy brand spankin new Walther P-1's for less than $300 at the Rod & Gun Club on base. A Colt 1911 was about $350. Browning HP's about $450. We figured he had to be nuts. As much we admired the CZ 75, $700 was way too rich for our blood.

    It was almost 10 years before I actually saw a new one for sale at a gun shop in the USA - an import marked (don't remember the distributor's name) CZ 85 that I got for less $400. I walked out of there feeling like I had stole it for that price. Unfortunately, I was just getting hooked on IHMSA competition at the time and it sat in my safe for nearly six months before I traded it towards something else. Never even shot it.

    Yep, they're addictive. Get one and be ready to make room for more. It's cool to be able to indulge in all flavors of the CZ 75 nowadays, though. My favorites are the all-steel 75 Compact, the alloy-frame 75D PCR and P-01. They are arguably some of the best values out there.

    Yeah, well, you just let me know if you ever want to part with that one! :D

    That's really nice. I watched a factory polished-blue pre-B 75 on GB getting up-bid to $1000 a few months ago before finally selling for $1150. Unfired. No import marks. Original box and instruction manual. Starting bid was $600 and the auction went bonkers the last five minutes.

    I'd LOVE to get ahold of a polished pre-b. I do have a polished B but's it's nowhere near as cool. Do you have a link on the pre-b? My clunker:

    Really pretty. No, I don't. I watch so many things on GB that I have to purge my list on a monthly basis.

    Addiction...obsession...white whale. I first knew CZ as a company that manufactured motorcycles in the early-mid 1970's, specifically, some of the noisiest, smokiest, nastiest torque-monster two-stroke dirt bikes known to mankind. A friend's dad had a bright yellow 250 that had so much low-end torque, you could've dug irrigation ditches with the rear wheel in first gear...when it was running. They were notoriously unreliable and difficult to get parts for. When it ran, though, it was a handful. I never felt like I was totally in control but the thing could climb hills that other bikes could not.

    The first time I encountered a CZ firearm, I didn't immediately make the connection. I was too agog at how well it worked and how nice it felt to consider that it was built by the same folks who built that insane dirt bike when I was still in HS riding my Honda Elsinore 125. Learned later that CZ built pretty much everything from aircraft, to firearms, to cars, to washing machines.

    These whippersnappers don't know how good they got it! Back in my day, CZ's used to be forbidden fruit! Now, you can get one at almost any well-stocked gun store and they're a great buy.

    Almost forgot about this skeet outing with a friend on a gray day some years ago. He could really make his CZ SxS sing. Not a clay was safe.

    I wish that I would have discovered CZ's sooner. When I bought my first handgun, a Glock 19 , in 2008 I never even considered any other type of pistol. Anytime I went into a place to look at any handguns I allways went straight to the Glocks. Wound up buying 5 of them before I tried a friends CZ 75 last year. I just picked up my third CZ pistol last week, a SP-01 tactical. I love em. I like the rifles too.

    Hey, I know that place! How long ago is that picture? I bet it’s been awhile. The new fence is painted the color of the houses.
