CZ85b on its way to Cz-USA /trigger-job

We will soon see what kind of magic Mike at CZ-USA can work on a trigger, sent it off for a DA/SA trigger job and to have the mag break removed.
Next step will be the sights, thinking of going with MMC, anybody have any other suggestions?
 
Should make quite a difference - my 85C had a lot of creep DA and was a little rough in SA. Teddy Jacobson did mine - Mike usually does nice work.

I looked on Brownell's and they don't list an option for CZ in MMC sights? I hate mine.
 
VVG,

I'm interested in using T. Jacobson's services for my only semi - the 97B. What would you recommend I have done. Also, several members on CZ Forums have had a new trigger/parts installed. Would it make sense to order the parts from CZ-USA and have Ted install them along with doing his standard work?

Pardon the simple questions, my experience has been with revolvers. Thanks for any suggestions.

Mike

I'd speak with Mr. Jacobson - he sees a lot of pistols and can best advise. Be aware that he's not a big fan of CZ's. But most people would have him do an action job, and polish the feed ramp. You'd possibly recrown if you do a lot of range or traget shooting and the gun has a lot of rounds through it - he can tell you that once he gets it. Send him cash in the package once you get the estimate, and insure the whole thing - CIA orders go back first.

Be advised, though, that you will never get your money out of the work - people won't pay for an improved CZ. I have almost $600 into mine, but don't have an offer above $425. For $600 I could have bought a SIG which would still be worth $600. So be really sure you like this pistol and want to keep it. Teddy is criticized for saying this - he's also right.
 
VVG,

Thanks for your insightful comments. I plan on keeping mine, so I'll have the basic work done.

A couple of questions for you: First, what is it about the CZ that Mr. Jacobson does't like?; Secondly, Which model are you selling and why? Where is it listed? Thanks again.

He has to speak for himself - all he says is, "There are better choices." The finish of the interior components isn't up to a lot of other pistols he works on, so I think he finds it more work. As you don't see the inside of a gun and it has little impact on function, for most people that's a non-issue.

Paid $380 for a CZ85 Combat and put about $200 into the work and shipping. I want $500 for it with no takers. Best offer so far is $475, so I'll keep it. I'd like to buy a SIG P226 instead, because my SIG P220 shoots so well.

I have a Sig245 and keep trying to find a Sig 9mm I like the feel of and is left hand friendly(Sigs aren't made for lefties). I think my CZ85b has alot of potential, after the trigger job it's going to MMC for sights, and then I'm going to think about a BarSto.
 
Do a lot of testing before you spring for a bar-sto barrel..
Might just find that the factory barrel does very well..
