My 1st CZ handgun

[Tankerdave]

Very excited, got my 1st CZ, a CZ 75 compact. Hopefully will get to the range next Friday to try it out. Have a couple questions from the experts here on the forum. The magazine base plates are the thin metal style, are there any different style for these, the metal rub on my pinky finger, 1 that is shorter or more rounded and thicker would work better I think. I would like to change the sighs eventually, I like the TFX tritium fiber optic on my shield and thought about these. This will be a carry gun eventually, is there anything anyone has had issues with? Thanks in advance for everyone's help and info.

Congratulations. Here is a link to some options for you:

Just make sure that whatever you get is for the compact. The steel framed CZ Compact is probably my favorite CZ model. I wouldn't expect you to have any issues with it at all.

Start saving now for the next one they are addicting.

Congrats! My dad has the same one. It's a fantastic gun! As to your questions, I cannot comment on the sights. As far as magazines, I have only ever seen the flat metal base plates. However, I was able to meet a few INGOers and shoot a bunch of different CZs. A couple of the guys had the same problem. They ground the base plate back a bit, so it was entirely under the grip. This would help make it so that it didn't rub. There's quite the CZ fan club here on INGO. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable will give you some more insight soon. Have you checked out the CZ thread in this subforum? https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...ness-xiii-lucky-13-we-could-all-use-some.html

Speaking of the CZ fan club...

CZs are what Glock owners wish they would have gotton after they shoot a CZ.

Oh hell, here comes the dogpile. I hope the OP got all the information he needed already.

I know I don't post a lot but I am on this forum at least twice a day, probably more and the help from everyone is fantastic and the combined knowledge is unbelievable. Thanks to all who responded, and I think Greg Cote has the perfect rubber base plate for me. I am sure I will like this gun and hopefully add to the collection in time.

Oh and the best CZ sights for carry purposes are the meprolights, or truglo TFX/TFX Pros.

I second that.

Greg Cote also has the best prices on magazines. Go with the Mecgar for CZ. They actually make the CZ mags so you are buying the same mags from the same producer for less money.

CZ's

I think he understands.

I could easily see JMB shooting and CZ and getting a big grin.

Glock? Not so much.

Excellent choice! My son has the 75 Compact, and with just a little Cajun love in the ultra-lite kit, an already fantastic gun is an even sweeter runner. I'm currently waiting for today's delivery of another CGW ultra-lite kit for my PCR, which is torn apart on the bench awaiting the transplant operation.

Another vote here for Mec Gar mags. I've run them in all my CZs, and they're as good as the originals as far as I'm concerned. Looks like others have already given you the appropriate links. Midway often has the Mec Gar mags at a good price, which is where I got mine when I catch a sale here and there.

I think you'll thoroughly enjoy the compact. Really good decision, I can't imagine you won't be overjoyed when you get to give it a workout.
