My first handgun was a satin-nickel CZ-75B in .40. I have four magazines for it, and I have not had one malfunction with it after a little more than a thousand rounds of different ammo.
I put rubber Houge grips which have a really nice feel, but I think I'll look into wood grips for it.

Great gun! Mine's a satin nickel 75b and I love it! It's the best looking handgun out there in my opion and accurate as all heck in single action both 9mm and .22 (conversion) I have trouble with the first shot being accurate due to the heavy DBA trigger pull, and that is the only thing I'd change....well maybe a decocker too.
I love my CZ-75B. Even though I have more expensive pistols around, it is the CZ-75B that sleeps next to my wife and me.
My wife likes it a lot too. She finds it comfortable and easy to shoot.
When the CZ-75SA comes out, you bet I will jump on one! Isn't it great that I will be able to use all the "high cap" mags I got for the CZ-75B?
That reminds me. I gotta send a check to CZ-USA for more factory pre-ban mags!

What's the difference between the 75B and the 75B Military? Just curious. Have been thinking about getting one, but am trying to decide on which model exactly. Am leaning towards the blued model rather than the polymer finish. Any input would be appreciated.

There is no difference between the military and the blacl poly finish models. The military means its a military contract overrun. You can get one NIB with Tritium night sites right now from J&G for $349.

Very happy with CZ-75B (9mm) and CZ-97B (.45). Both are just about perfect all steel
classy pistols and priced very reasonably.
I think polymer finish is pretty cool, although, is obviosly difficult to repair if
damaged. I personally prefer CZs to any other
pistols in a similar calibers I've shot.
CZ-97B has even lighter DA pull than CZ-75B,
pretty close to a feel of a good revolver.
Makes me wonder why HK USP can not deliver
such level of comfort for my trigger finger...

,Richard will probably go on about how he can buy a "like new" used Mk 3 Browningh High Power for less than $400.
What's funny to me is that, whenever Richard talks about CZ-75 vs. BHP, he compares his gunsmithed, Spegel stock clad BHP Mark 3 (which is, in all fairness, worth about $600-700 nowadays) with an old pre-b series CZ-75 (with smaller sights and plastic grip panels).
If you compare NIB BHP with a NIB CZ-75B, there is no comparison in value. CZ wins hands down. NIB BHP's have SA trigger pull in excess of 7-8 pounds nowadays, not to mention extremely high prices.
Hopefully, when FN starts importing the BHP, the situation will change.
Richard:
I hope I didn't rattle you too much!

BB:
CZ-75B is slightly "taller" than the BHP, because the former has a 15-round magazine while the latter has a 13-round one.
Aside from that, the external dimensions are pretty similar as is the weight.
I really don't know where Richard gets this "CZ is too heavy and to big for a 9mm" when his beloved BHP is about the same size. I guess he really loves the BHP and can't stand the fact that some people like the CZ over the BHP, esp. considering the price differential nowadays.
Richard:
Where are you? I've been razzing you and no response yet!

DZ,
Looks like we both got the same grips for our CZs. I love the feel of the Pachmary grips. I never even shot the pistol with the stock plastic grip panels. FWIW, I left the front and rear straps off since they were being a pain and just used the side panels. Feels great.
This and flatening out the magazine brake so the magazines drop free are the only modifications I have done and plan to do.

Anyone know where to get a good deal on the pachmer ones? I put some Houge ones on mine but they make the grip as slab sided as a Glock and I love the oval shape with the original grips....but rubber would be nice.

I have a NIB CZ75B sitting at my gunsmiths since April awaiting a Bar Sto barrel to be fitted. This is my second one. The first was 100% reliable and accuracy was good but not as good as my BHP. Finish on this one is poly vs blued finish on previous one. I have 5 hi caps for it.
i had to trim the front strap cover's lips in order to get a magazine that would release sans crowbar.

CZ75B, 9mm, polymer finish.
15 shots inside of a 2" circle at 30 feet with my first clip of ammo. I knew right then and there that the gun would've been worth twice what I paid for it ($350 NIB with 2 15 round mags)--thankfully you don't have to.
CZ75B? One of life's little unexpected pleasures.

Despite being rugged, accurate, realiable, and beautiful it is one of the best buys out there for any amount of money. Tremendously cool piece of art. We live in good times as long as the Cz75b is available. It's a better shooter than I am. After reading all this it reminds me I need to caress my baby more often. Puttin the atic in cz75 Fanatic!
