FIFY.

I've never quite grasped the weight argument..

Apparently....

They are definitely worth a try. The CZ 75 pistols are iconic handguns. For me, I'm not a huge fan of the ergonomics or the factory sights. Those are both going to vary person to person, though. If you're used to Sigs, a decocker model (ahem, like the PCR, ahem) will feel more familiar to you.

In 9mm, other iconic handguns everyone should try at least once would be the Beretta 92 and the BHP.

BHP = Bad*** Hipoint right.

I've never quite grasped the weight argument. Unless your pistol is solid tungsten, we're really talking negligible differences between polymer vs steel pistols of similar size. There's no way I could tell the difference between my M&P and CZ-75 when holstered without looking.

I bought a CZ-75 Compact with the safety, and really liked it. At 5'7" the compacts seem to work better for me. Then I bought the CZ-75 Compact PCR with the decocker. It has the alloy frame, and the weight difference is very noticeable to me. I like the lighter weight of the PCR much better. It took a long time to find the perfect carry compact for me. The PCR is it.

Go to a few ranges and see if you can rent one to try out. Start with the classic 75B and go from there. Also some of the CZickos on here are glad to meet you to let you try ours. Stick with 9mm in 75 line .45 is the 97.

I have a 75B Stainless, a P-01 and an SP-01 Phantom. I had a RAMI but I sold it recently. I'm on the hunt for a 97BD

I agree with this. Start with the 75B and see what you think, then try one of the compacts like the 75 compact, P-01 or PCR. Then you might want to try a RAMI, which is subcompact. CZ's are great guns. I have a 75B which is stock except for having VZ frag grips and a set of TruGlo TFX sights. I had thought about adding CGW parts, but I think I'm going to shoot it in and see how the trigger feels after many rounds. It's very accurate and fun to shoot just as is.

As mentioned, if you want to shoot a 75B I'd be happy to meet you at a Point Blank location. Split the range fees and bring your own ammo and you can take it for a test drive

Don't forget the P09. Those are very sweet shooters.

Yep. I was trying to get him hooked on the heavy metal first though...

You're right, of course. Better to start there.

A steel 75B can set the hook very deep too.

Can't believe the SP-01 with 5 mags in the classifieds hasn't sold yet. It's a solid deal. I'd be a buyer if I already didn't have the same gun.

 

[88E30M50]

I'd love to jump on that deal, but with the seller not willing to come too far south, my unwillingness to go too far north and my lack of money to actually buy it, I cannot. But, you are right, it's a really good deal for someone in the market up in that area.

Fantastic deal and one of those guns on my wish list. Just broke at this time...

 

[MC1983]

Great deal on that gun, just wish he was closer to Indy.

 

[SEMI-AK]

It never hurts to try one.

I shot my first CZ last weekend. The trigger pinched the bottom part of the pad on my finger and took some getting used to, but it was a tack driver.

I can't say I didn't like it.

They take getting used to for sure. I am glad you tried it out.

Another one just popped for $500. No extra mags besides the 2 factory mags but a great deal nonetheless. Get a cash advance from the CC Wt

ETA: to whoever buys it, if you don't want the cz comp grips then I'll buy 'em from ya

I'd love to, but I just paid off $15k in CC debt and I don't want to have to go through that rodeo again...

I hear that. Borrower is slave to the lender!

I like that one a lot.
"BUT".....yup, always a "BUT".....I am a Cajun CZ junkie and would need a fix with this one. Add $300 to the price for the parts etc and $200 for the threaded barrel I would have to have and bam.........1K in the gun before buying the extra mags for it.

The one that I'm jonesing for lately is a P07 in .40. I've decided that my 'Shoveling the driveway in December' gun needs to be a P07 in .40. I already have a 'Shoveling the driveway in January' gun, so it's the December gun that I need to find before December comes.
