Howdy guys,

Just wondering about the durabillity of the polycoat on the CZ75's. Is it any better or worse than the glossy blued, nickel, or satin finish? Does anyone have any complaints about excessive wear? Let me know guys.


Regards,

The black polycoat holds up exceptionally well to both corrosion and abrasion. In fact, I prefer it on all of my CZs --- although satin nickel also does well and sure looks great.

Take care. Marko
 
The Black poly coating on the CZ is very strong and resistant to alot of abuse. Any solvents that eat plastic...keep away from it.
It scratches just like blueing does, if your not careful.....
Shoot well
 
What they said ... I prefer it on my CZ's.

Satin nickle is the only thing that "trumps" it (for looks only).

If you haven't checked it out already, take a look at:


www.czforum.com

Lots of info about poly vs. blue vs. nickle there.

Very tough. My dad any I were cleaning our pistols on the tailgate of his truck one day and my CZ-75 slipped out of of my hands. To my horror, it bounced off the concrete driveway then slid on it's side a few feet!

Believe it or not, there were no scratches or damage. Whew! :^)



According to the FAQ on www.CZ-USA.com:

Q: What is the finish called "Black polymer"?

A: Black polymer is electrostaticly applied powder coating that is then oven cured to a hard shell. The coating is applied over a Parkerized or Phosphate finish which is very corrosion resistant in itself, the parts are thern racked and given a negative charge and sprayed at the guns components. This charged attraction literally draws the coating to the parts, this gives the parts a uniform finish and reduces overspray. The parts are cured in a oven and this produces a tough Mil. spec. finish.
 
Am I the only one whose polymer coated CZ75 Turkish mil-overrun has worn away the coating at the rear of the ejection port? I'm talking down to bare metal.

There was another thread about this a couple months ago.

Maybe it's the Tetra.....hmmmmmm.
 
I like it! It's a tough finish. I wish all firearms manufacturers used such a finish.

And don't forget that there is Parkerization underneath.

The only weakness of the Poly finish is that it is fundamentally a plastic, and things like ACETONE will eat it up. Avoid acetone and any cleaner that has a plastic solvent, and its almost indestructible.

(I've had it on two different CZs -- a 75B and 40B -- and I disliked it at first, but have come to appreciate just how durable and wear resistant it is. Several shooters on the CZ forum have had problems with flaking, however, and that sounds like a case of poor preparation prior to the coating being applied. I also have a CZ-85 Combat in satin nickel, and it seems just as impervious, and is downright gorgeous."

My 1993 85 Combat still looks great, and I put 2-5,000 rounds through it a year.
 
In general it is a superior finish. I too however have seen wear on the rear of the ejection port (I have about 3500 rounds through mine) and I also managed to put a chip in it by the slide release (on the right) when I was an idiot and tryied to push it out with the side of my Leatherman one day. However besides those two spots, and the inside rails, there is not even the smallest blemsish. No scratches or anything. Though it do use a silicone cloth to help it along.

Well my Hi-Points all have the Black Polymer Coating and they have been very good in wear in and out of the holsters and also all kinds of sweat from the body.
I am very pleased.
