Both my wife and I have CZ-75Bs. We use 115 grain FMJ ammo for all our shooting. We have fired 5,000+ rounds through each of the guns with no jamming, FTE (failure to extract), or misfires. We have been super happy. We enjoy shooting at clay targets most of the time, although we also use splatter type paper targets. Since we live in the desert, we need only go a few miles to burn a box or 2 or 3 of ammo.
Hope you enjoy yours as we have enjoyed ours.

New to the forum and the CZ 75B Club So hello to all!

Just picked up my new CZ 75B this past Sunday. Haven't been able to get to the range due to some record snowfalls here in Delaware. Swabbed out the barrel removed all the excess oil and put a fresh coat of oil on it and am itching to get out and put some rounds downrange.

Might just try the range today, hey I have 4 wheel drive, might be tough picking up brass in the snow though.

Hey all,

I own my first CZ75B and will hopefully receive my licence within the next 3 months.
(Licensing in SA is a pain!)

Hope to get some valuable insight here.

Welcome to the forum.

Reading this thread here (http://www.czforumsite.info/index.php?topic=31807.0) may make you feel a little better about the wait, some places are ridiculous with  the gun control.

Hello, just wanted to say hi to everybody here.  Just picked up my cz75b in black yesterday at Turner's here in California for $475. (before taxes and all the bleep fees of course.)  So far I've only added the hogue grip.  I'm thinking about duracoating the frame with either flat dark earth or olive drab.  Also thinking about converting it to single action only.  Let me know what you guys think.

Howdy & welcome aboard!

Great plans for your 75B. Here's what mine (in .40 S&W) looks like in two tone Flat Earth and Satin Black:

I had it done by Mac's Shootin' Irons in Tucson. I have a CZ 75B "Tactical" that came from the factory in an Olive and Satin Black, but I don't have a very clear picture of it showing the contrast between the two colors.

Hello to all! I just received my CZ-75B (9mm) today. i live in Canada and it took me 1 year to get the licence to buy it. I feel like i have been run over by a semi  :). Anyways, my first impression is that it seem to be very handy and not heavy at all. I use to have a AMT Hardballer .45 acp government model and i find my CZ better balanced. I did not shoot it yet though! I am happy have joined the club!
Cheers

I put money down on my first CZ yesterday. It is a 75B 9mm. I cant wait to pick it up and get to the range. After reading about them for a while, I stopped into my LGS and there it was. I was already only there to finalize my AR order but when he gave it to me for $400 I couldn't say no.

soon to be joining the club, ordered a 75B today and it can not get here soon enough -hopefully get to pick it up friday or monday. I already have 2x18rd mecgars, hogue wrap arounds, and a box of ammo sitting on my table waiting for it!

Was really leaning towards the SA for the extended bevertail, but czcustom told me they were looking at 1month+ wait time and I just couldn't hold off on getting my first CZ.

I'm new to the forum and the CZ 75B Club as well! Hello all!

My CZ75B (9mm) should be here in a couple of days and looking forward to it being my first hand gun (have had many rifles over the years).

Taking a concealed carry class this weekend (although the CZ wasn't purchased primarily for that, I just felt it was the best option for my first hand gun). Have a lot of other stuff to get as well (Ammo, cleaning kit, gun safe, etc.)

Looking forward to more conversations about this gun!

Hey Everyone!
  ;D I just bought a SLIGHTLY used CZ75B for $400 in .40 S&W with the duo tone brushed nickel finish and rubber Hogue grips! I can't wait to fire it! I've looked at these pistols for years and now I finally have one! I had a Mdl 22 Glock wich I loved, but the CZ75B feels like it was made for my hand. I carry a Military issue M9 pistol on my job and I hate it! Looking to get a holster and some more mags for it, suggestions??!! It came with one mag and I use a Berretta M84 holster now for it, because it's all I own! I do have several holsters at work I could try, but they are for M-9's!
  ::) In the past I've carried 1911 Colt.45, .38 and 357 revolvers, Mdl 17 and Mdl 22 Glocks and of course the M9 Berretta. As an armorer I've handled a few more but never fired them. I love the ballance of the CZ75 it feels so right in my hand. I use to love my 22 Glock :-[, but that was AFTER i put a Hogue handall on it! ??? The Berretta is okay but things break on it for no reason, especially if you shoot it a lot (go figure)! I have had to take M-9s to upper level maintainence for repairs. I asked about the safety interlock that broke on different pistols in the same week at the range and the reply? "It's a Berretta, things break!" :o

Looking forward to reading and sharing CZ info and tips with all of you! 8)

Beyond excited but I wont have time to take it to the range till the weekend at the earliest.

Hello fellow Kool-Aid drinkers! I just purchase my first handgun, the CZ 75 B 9mm Satin Nickel. I have researched this gun for the past week along with the other 9mm. My brother-in-law, who is a police officer, told me not to buy a CZ for various reasons. I can't wait for him to shoot it, because I know he will want a glass of the sweet, delicious, red juice as well. ;D

I'm heading to Bass Pro Shops today and I wanted to pick up some ammo but I'm not sure what will run well in it. Any expertise would be appreciated. BTW I would like to keep the price on the lower end until I can hit the side of a barn.  :o

Welcome to the forum!
Winchester white box & Federals should shoot nicely to break it in.  Wal-Marts often has the best prices.
I don't recommend the Remington UMC as many have trouble with that ammo.

Title: Re: Welcome to the CZ 75B Club
Post by: Airsy on July 10, 2012, 05:31:38 AM
If I decide to reload;
1. Which ammo should I start with to get a brass collection started?
2. Is there an affordable reloading kit that can get me started?

BTW... I also have an SKS, so I would probably be loading 7.62x39 as well.

Thanks for the replies...

Post by: ammo dave on July 11, 2012, 11:45:34 AM
I've been using a Dillon square deal for years.  It's a bit cheaper than the 550 but works great if you only intend to load pistol cartridges.

After a very slow (1 week) purchase/ship turnaround my gun will be on its way to California.  ;D With the 10-day-wait and ship time I probably wont be shooting for another two weeks. I guess I have some time to buy some ammo online, watch more handgun shooting instructionals on youtube, etc.

Post by: johnnyrees on July 14, 2012, 04:49:32 AM
Airsy a base line lee reloading kit will do you fine to start with and will also teach you good reloading practice....when you start shooting and reloading big time, invest in a Dillon 550b...and keep the lee for experimental/development work...shooting without reloading, not withstanding savings and a dramatic increase in accuracy is only a 1/4 of the joy/fun of this journey ,you are about to embark on....both presses will do pistol and rifle....on this forum there are some exceptional people who will take you step by step on your reloading adventure ;)

STOKED! I just filled out paperwork and took the  handgun safety test. I missed one question, so hopefully that means I won't shoot myself in the foot. What a beautiful gun. I had a hard time leaving it there, but we will be reunited in 10 days. I know what women feel like when they leave their baby at the sitter for the first time.  ;D

I have a question about 10 round mags. Anyone know of mags that work well for me?

Hello, Just bought a 75b SA, and shot it for the first time this week. Best ergo's of any gun I own. Very accurate. This is a Custom Shop gun with the flat trigger. I am in love, or at least in heat!
Title: Jammed open action
Post by: Airsy on August 06, 2012, 07:33:13 PM
I just fired my CZ 75 B satin nickel for the first time. I got through 20 rounds of Federal 115gr fmj and then switched to winchester. On the 4th or 5th round the action jammed open and a shell didnt eject. The gun remains in an open action jammed state. SAD for me.
Title: Re: Welcome to the CZ 75B Club
Post by: Airsy on August 13, 2012, 04:55:49 PM
Update on my jammed 75 B:

The guys at CZ were awesome in dealing with the issue in a VERY timely manner. They sent me a next day FedEx label and had the gun for only a couple days before sending it back. I should have it tomorrow just in time for camping. I guess there was some finish build-up on the rail that caused it to seize.

Again, great job guys!  :D

Loving my '75B. Have around 600 rounds thru it. Flawless. No failures of any kind. Accurate.

Have to do some work on my trigger as it leaves a lot to be desired. It's my only complaint. And, it's a bit painful and bites a bit.

But, it's a solid pistol that I am proud to own, unlike the last pistol I sold to get it! Just have to figure out what trigger I want, and it will be perfect. Cheers.

Hi everyone
i'm from Canada, new to this forum & also new to pistol.
i picked up my first CZ 75B yesterday but haven't tried to shoot yet, like to learn more things on it before hit to the range.
My CZ-455 LUX never let me down since i've owned it for awhile now, i believe i chose the right pistol this time too.

here's my first question: On the left slide, where the "CZ 75 B cal.9 luger (CZ logo) then there's the ? (omega symbol).
is it a CZ-75B Omega? and the different to the other 75B?

edit: found the answer here in this forum.
thanks anyway

I have a new 75 B in 9mm polycoat. :)  A fine firearm.  It's my second firearm owned(first a CZ 452 Trainer in .22 cal.).  Since this is my first handgun, I have a bit of a learning curve.  Have shot various rental guns and those of family members.  Have taken it to my club and fired ~40 rounds @ 5 yds.(taking baby steps first).   Fits my hand well and feels good to hold and shoot. :D 

Have cleaned it after my first shoot.  Still learning the proper procedure(lots of different ways to clean a handgun).  Will be searching the forum for cleaning tips.  My cleaner/lube is ballistol.  My main concern is getting lubricant in areas like the sear cage and rear of the slide.  Also, will be careful not to oil too much.  The fieldstrip is very easy(demonstrated on CZ-USA website, as well as many you tube video's).

Also, have a new custom molded leather paddle holster(molded to fit a glock 27) that fits as snug as a bug in a rug.
