Anyone shot a CZ?

Youz guys underestimate Lumber...

In close quarters situations, I'll bet a framing gun can do a fair amount of damage:bat:
 
Own 3 CZ psitols

Spareparts,

I have a CZ75BD 9mm, CZ75PO1 9mm, and a CZ83 380. My wifw shoots the PO1 and I carry the BD. We together have shot over 2000 rounds through each of the guns. I have mixed 6 different brands of ammo in a 15 round clip and rapid fired to try and stove pipe or jam one of them. Neither has ever jammed!!! My list of handguns are the three CZ's, Ruger MKI 22Lr, Beretta Bobcat 22Lr, Smith Model 15 38sp, Taurus Raging Bull 454, Bersa Thunderbolt 380, Kimber 45 and a Stryker .223 with 3 to 8 Nikon scope.

My list of Autos shows I love them! My CZ 75 BD is the pistol I carry because I know it will always fire. I shoot bullseye at the range and on a slow fire pistol target, I can put 50 rounds all in the black. My kimber shoots this good as well but after 200 rounds, it must be cleaned or it will start stove piping once in a while.

The CZ 75 is an awesome handgun and when you consider the price. I am getting ready to buy a CZ97 45! I am afraid my Kimber is going to sit after that purchase.
 
grouper, I've been thinking about the 75BSA, I have two 1911's and I'm more familiar with the SA than the DA/SA action, have you tried the BSA verses the B? Is there much difference in the trigger, is there enough to justify the SA over the standard set up? Another question with the BSA is having no decocker or grip safety, it shouldn't be carried cocked and locked( no difference from my High power). I'm not planning on this being a carry weapon( thats what the series 80 compact is for), so its not a big concern. Its good to hear that you are comapring it to the Kimber, I've shot a Kiimber several times, and its got my Springfield on the replacement list. I can't get my Springfield to shoot with the Kimber for the price difference between the two. I'm bouncing back and forth between Kimber and Para on that choice, but thats another topic all together.

Thanks everyone for all the feed back, gun show is here in two weeks, I may have to go see whats there. None of the shops around here stock CZs, they have all offered to order one, but they aren't giving any breaks on price on a special order, I would rather find one in inventory
 
sa vs da

The BD has no safety and a decocker. I carry it with a full clip and a dry hole. But the truth is I carry all mine the same way. As far as the triggers, I don't notice any preference on my part as I treat the DA as the SA. Since I have to ratchet one in the hole for the first shot, the triggers are in the rear position anyway. Even my SW M15, I pull the hammer back. I never have liked shooting the long trigger pull for DA. I guess I should make myself, but I am 50 now and I don't break habits very easily now.

Good luck and have fun picking your next hand gun. I love em all, as long as they shoot decent and don't jam. I've been fortunate as even the little Bersa Thunder shoots like a dream. It is a very accurate little 380. I think I simply got lucky on that one. I bought it to carry on the boat and after I found out how well it shoots, I can't treat it that way.
 
grouper,
I've got a thunder also, its a great little gun, shoots a lot better than it cost, I bought it brand new for $200 from a gun shop, I think they sell for closer to $300 now, I've seen a few used ones for around $225.

What you answered about not using the DA first shot is precisly why I'm interested in the 75BSA, being a single action only, its more like my other autos(except the bersa). the CZ web site also mentions that it has drop free magazines, do you have to pull the mags out of yours? I know finding a SA version is going to be harder, but if I have to order one, I figure I might as well get what I want
