Title: Snagged a cz75 polished
Post by: battering ram on February 14, 2022, 06:38:23 PM
Found a nib Cz 75 polished for $925 on GB. Had to buy it. Looking at the firing pin area it looks unfired. But where the end of the barrel meets the slide and where the barrel shows through the ejection port it looks like wear consistent with 100+ rounds.  I figure previous owner played w it a ton. Pulling the slide back and forth 100-200x. 

Curious how other owners keep them
Clean ?  Brasso?  Guns finish shows no micro scratches. I assume after shooting and cleaning it it will look less polished each time and more brushed?

Absolutely beautiful gun !

You said $925, was that including shipping and sales tax?

Nice grab, I managed to put a pretty good scratch in my High Polish 75B and used some Flitz polish and a micro cloth to buff it out and blend the finish back.

I’m with you. I do the best I can to maintain them but I don’t sweat the small stuff too much anymore.

Yup. Over the last 6-8 months I sold all the guns in my collection I didn’t shoot. Something like 18-19 pistols.

$925 auction
$35 shipped

I’m a ffl so $0 tax

It was on GB last week on a Bin. No one else noticed I guess. These typically sell nib $1200-1300.  I was thinking of reselling but nope! I’m
Keeping it

As for not worrying about blemishes. To each his own. With a flashy gun like this I’d assume it attracts those who want to keep that flash.  My carry gun? I could care less about it’s appearance.  Collector guns which this Cz has become? I want to keep it as perfect as I can. I know this one will show wear worse than most
