Over the past year I have bought many guns; a 1911, two .38 revolvers, a .357 revolver, two Makarovs, and a .22 auto, trying to find the one that's ME. 1911 recoiled too much with slow recovery. Never could get the hang of revolvers (the most uncomfortable of them all was a Model 10, those grips! ouch!!), the Maks are a bit snappy (fun to shoot, but not for long). The Buckmark has become the favorite, over 5,500 rounds in the first twelve months attests to that. All are gone except the Mak for CCW, the .38 snub for the house, and the Browning for fun. I still wanted a full time, "serious" handgun that I could
enjoy shooting well and alot. The survivors were perfectly filling niches, but what is the do everything gun?
Literally months of reading the advice found right here and then going out to look at recommendations helped me get the choices down to five. Tuesday I bought "the one" and yesterday I shot it - CZ-75B.
Remember that show in the 70's, DY-NO-MITE! I had a little concern about recoil, evem in 9mm, shooting Maks do that to ya. Not a problem, extremely comfortable. Accuracy was just fabulous, at 21 ft. off hand, all the holes were touching! At 15yds the hits opened up (my fault) but still easily grouped within a four inch circle on the paper plate.
Trigger action in both modes was smooth and just what I like. The sights were as good as the Browning. Muzzle flip was almost unnoticed, nice quick reacquisition of the target. Two guys watching even commented on how good it shot being brand new. And to think this was just the first fifty rounds, it can only get better? WOW! CZ, where have you been all my life? Well, honey, I mean all my one year life with guns. Honey, you do believe me, right? Honey, now don't..... uh darling.................
Okay, I'm back:
Everything I've read about this pistol on TFL over the many months were proven true.
Two things to say to visitors of this website:
1) Believe what you read in these posts. No gun magazine, gunshop clerk, or friends can come close to the magnitude of "real world" experience and advice you will find here.
2) Go get a CZ-75B. The old adage about "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" doesn't apply here, this gun IS as good as they say- Really. Go buy one, you will be so glad you did. I sure am.
