cz75b SA update

Another range day, another 100 rounds of trouble-free awesomeness. A fellow grad-student and myself went out to the range yesterday and had a great time. The cz75b in 40 is really a kitten to shoot. Today was a mix of more PMC-Bronze and my own personal reloads with 155 gr LTC over a charge of unique (sometimes reddot) cruising along with mild-mid loads. The American Classic II and the ruger Mk II were also along for the ride, but the cz stole the show.

here is the first few mags at 20 yards with the cz on a fresh target (warmed up a bit with the 1911 beforehand):

For me, that is pretty good shooting at 20 yards. Many people can do much better, but I was actually pretty happy with this target.  There was little point in shooting at 10 yards as the gun just eats out the center if you do your part.

The more I shoot the cz, the more I want to mess with the trigger. I contacted the guys at cajungunworks and ordered some parts, so we will see how that goes. The sights on the cz really aren't bad, though I do still think the GID paint is a bit odd.

After trigger parts, this gun will climb into the mid 600 dollar range, at which point I think it will be about done. Out of the box, it can be found in the mid to high 500s (mine was 570 otd) and is a heck of a deal. The trigger really isn't bad, but for anyone who shoots 1911s often and enjoys tinkering with the trigger on their guns, a bit of tuning will be necessary.

I am really becoming a believer in the cz75 platform, and suspect one in 9mm or a kadet kit in 22 may also join the ranks of my collection. I am trying to resist the urge to fondle a 97b, as I already have three 45s (having just gotten down from 4) and find it hard to justify ANOTHER gun in that caliber. Especially considering I find it hard to keep 45acp ammo stocked on my loading bench as it is.

If I see a 75b in 9mm for 400 or less (including clones) it'll probably happen when I get my tax return. This gun has totally won me over, and I suspect I might be moving still further away from the striker-fired polymer frame 9mm / 40sw market.
