Yes they are very graceful and elegant.......But still......I'd give anything to have one that was made in 1975, you know, the one with the short guide rails. Those were the best made CZ 75's ever, I heard that they were made with a harder grade of steel.
Hey though!......At least we know who are really in the CZ classic club huh? LOL

To the best of my knowledge, the first CZ 75s were made in 1976. The number refers to the year when the design was completed, not the first production year. There are also no 1985 model year CZ 85s or 1997 model year 97Bs, as far as I know. With the other pistols that follow this nomenclature, the year of introduction and first year of production seem to be identical. Of course, I have been known to make mistakes...
If someone could tell me how to post a picture, I will try to get my CZ 75 "transitional" posted.

I think they started production in late '75.........Maybe it was a proto?
Seeing as how very few would have been made I figure there are very few left.
I'll try to find out the exact date.

Is your Type A one of the Frankonia semi-customs? It looks like the descriptions that I have read of some of those pistols.

I've not read up much about the Frankonia semi-customs.
Could you tell me a little about them?
It could be for all's I know.......But I see nothing stamped or rolled on the gun that would suggest "Custom" work.

I would pay more for a Frankonia than a Plain Jane, since they originally cost quite a bit more. CZ-USA may or may not be able to help you. The staff are all Americans, and these pistols were never imported here through normal channels, certainly not by CZ-USA. I believe that servicemen stationed in West Germany brought some back, but that's about it.

I got it last year in a trade at a local gunshop for a WWII (Manurhin) P-38. The P-38 was gorgeous, but wouldn't shoot for crap.
This gun was really rough -- the polycoat badly banged, with a lot of deep scratches in the frame around the front. I've since replaced the factory grips (one of which is a little warped) with the soft rubber factory grips. I much prefer them (and no, the original grips are not for sale.)
I stripped it (with automotive paint remover) and reblued it using mostly Ox-Pho Blue from Brownells (mixed with some other cold blues.) I buffed it with a fine wire wheel before rebluing. I've got some new cold blue -- BLUE WONDER -- to try on my next project. This looks pretty good, though, and it has held up well.
Wny would I trade for something so obviously abused? This gun has the best DA and SA trigger I've ever found in a SA/DA gun. The SA is as crisp as a custom 1911, and the DA is smooth and quick.
I'm still having problems from time to time with flyers -- but am beginning to think its ME, not the gun.

It would be interesting to line up examples of A-types, one from each year, to see the differences.
Another difference between Walt's and mine, not readily discernable in the photos, is the hammer.
Wasn't it around 1988 or '89 when they went to the thinner hammer and heavier firing pin?
Post by: Radom on February 26, 2003, 04:38:00 PM
I am still assuming that CZ 85s weren't produced until 1986, but I was wrong about the CZ 75 being released in 1976. My info came from Military Small Arms of the World. I think that it is still very likely that 1986 is correct. They wouldn't have called it the CZ 86 anyway; it just doesn't have the same ring to it!

I'm wondering about that '70s CZ75 a couple poses back. It almost looks like the sucker was chromed. What a beauty.
I've satisfied me CZ75 habbit, unless a transitional comes up. Gotta go find something else now. Maybe a P-01 or something.
I'll take the pictures and stick them up, if I can find my digital camera.

Actually They cracked big time thats why the frame rails were made longer.
CZ's have been very popular here for years and lots of people had slides cracking just forward of the frame rails you will see there is a nice sharp edge there.
In fact my slide cracked just under the extractor (89 year)

Refinished in Manganese phosphate, the barrel is sorta shot out. I might have to go for a Bar-Sto. But, I still have to find the time (and place) to pop a few rounds downrange first.
Have Fun.

Of the handful of firearms I have sold or traded off, my only real regret was trading my pre-B CZ-75 (I did get a nice S&W 41 for it, though). When I traded it, I still had the original box, manual, and 6 magazines (when they were very hard to find).
Post by: Walt-Sherrill on January 07, 2006, 12:28:03 PM
Bauska import. Very nice trigger. Couple of nicks in the enamel (nt polycoat). Otherwise, seems fresh from the factory; it appears to be UNFIRED. Dated 1985.
I may offer this one for sale on the forum soon. I didn't really want or need a another pre-B, but it was too nice a gun to pass up. (Somebody make me an offer or suggest a trade!)
(I also saw a NIB pre-B for $499, with all papers, factory box, etc. Its the same gun they wanted $450 for at the last show. I was tempted then, but not today.)

Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for it?Post by: Walt-Sherrill on January 08, 2006, 07:57:14 PM
It is pristine.
The only negative is that it has the older "enamel" finish, and not polycoat. The old enamel finish chips more easily than polycoat. There were tiny 4-5 chips or nicks in the finish (from handling, it appears) which I've repaired.
I came with a single 15 round mag, and I'll probably throw in another.
It has a very nice trigger -- nicer than my original pre-B, which suprised me. Its a shame the newest CZ-75Bs aren't this nice.
I think it could use a slightly lighter hammer spring, however.
I haven't fired it, and won't -- as I don't think its been fired since it left the factory.
(Several folks have raved about the old grips... I think they're unglier than cow flop.)
Post by: edp2k on January 08, 2006, 11:31:49 PM
I'm seriously interested in the CZ-75 you just picked up.

I had some 1994 pistols that went to my nephews and one had the "CZ-75" marking and two had the "Model 75" marking. Interestingly they all had the squared trigger guard.
I guess 1994 was the year the trigger guard went square and the "Model 75" was dropped. I believe that was also the year the CZ logo went to UB. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that.

Both the Cz85 and Cz85 Combat I purchased new in 1993. The Cz75 Compact in 2002 and the Springfield Armory P9s in 1991. All new when I purchased them. I have always had a fetish for the Cz design.

I bought this in 1987 as a second CZ to the one I'd set up for IPSC. I rebarrelled it with a Peters Stahl polygonal bore barrel, which were available from Springfield at the time. I switched out the front sight to correct the POI after rebarreling. I tuned the trigger to a nice, crisp 3.25 pounds, and removed all extra creep. I checkered the front and backstrap, and made the grips from a piece of tigerwood bought from a knife maker. Over the years I've probably put 20,000+ rounds through the pistol, and it still holds tighter groups than I'm capable of shooting.
This is the second of 5 CZs I've owned over the years. I still have it, along with a 75B in .40 S&W, and my newest 2075 RAMI, also in .40 S&W.

I have read on this forum about the 75 slides cracking, is that common? does it also happen with the 85?
If it is a problem (and not a fluke on a gun or two) it is a VERY RARE problem.
The CZ75 and the CZ85 are the same gun except for the addition of ambi controls on the 85.

The finish is well-worn, but the barrel is bright and the rifling is sharp. For $260 with two magazines and the Hogue grips, I think I did very well.
I was looking for a nice 9mm to fire at the range so I can retire my family heirloom Walther AC41 P38, this fits the bill perfectly. As for CZ's my only other is a CZ52, dated 1954, I'll see about posting it in the respective forum.

This is my Pre-B. This is a great shooting weapon. Bought it used - not really very familiar with CZ's at all at the time, my first semi-auto.
She needs a little work on the bluing and at one point I attempted adjustable sights but never could find a good fit. It came with a ten round magazine (from back in those days) but I bought the 16 round as soon as available.

I truly like this pistol alot, plastic grips and all! I point it I fire it, it hits. Had a round jam in the magazine when I first got it but a little light lubrication made everything right. Have NEVER had a jam since. I don't count rounds but I've put a great many through it. Probably my favorite weapon since my Dad's Sako .30-06 when I was a little guy.

Any other history that could be provided would be most welcome. Though it would appear that I am posting my pics in the wrong forum (or at least on the wrong thread), I will add a couple more in case Greg or anyone else can tell me more about my 9mm.
BTW, never had a bit of problem with the trigger but as stated earlier, I bought it used. - Clint

i stripped off the enamel because it looked like a camoflauged zebra.
i think someone dropped it while rock climbing.
tried cold bluing, but i'm bad at it.
i had re-polished it again, will take pics again.

This is a 1977 CZ 75. It came with box, papers and extra magazine & I added Hakan's grips
Isn't this one of the pre-import versions that was made with higher grade steel before the CZ 75 went to mass market across the world?
The rumor is CZ had to downgrade steel quality to get more life out of the manufacturing machinery, or so I have heard....
Post by: kdog on February 22, 2009, 04:48:14 AM
Born in 1986, but not shot very often. It was a duty pistol from a security company here in germany and just laid in the vault for several years.
Just the finish looks beaten, due to the holsters they used.

Got in in a private sale in MA, making this one of the only 2 pre-B MA-compliant CZ-75s I've ever seen.
Gun came exactly as you see it, with two magazines that have the last digits of the serial number electropencilled in. Note the added frontstrap checking, and the bobbed hammer. I believe its dated 1984.
Is this one of those famous Frankonia guns I've heard about? Any comments are appreciated.
It is one SWEET shooter. Smooth DA, and SA pull is maybe 4 lbs even. 2000+ rounds through it by me with not one malfunction of any kind. . .and no, I'm NEVER selling it.
Also, anyone know if the Kadet .22LR conversion will fit on this thing?

From what I've read, the Kadet kit will most likely not work on this pistol. Someone can come along and correct me.
Awesome pistol. I've never seen one like that. Thanks for sharing.

I've a '88 CZ75 and recently bought a conversion and it fitted without minor adjustments(you have to do this on all conversions). Shoots like a dream.

I got it for $350.00 three years ago. It came in original box with all accessaries including a owners manual in a foreign language. Seven 15 round mags.
The story is this guy bought it new for $385.00 while in the Army in Germany. It has about 500 rounds through it.

I actually have Reply #2 on: February 21, 2003, 05:21:17 PM ? in this thread from years ago.. But the pic links are dead,, and i can no longer edit the post.. So figure I'd just put up some new ones.
This Frankonia custom was purchased in 1985 from a US Army Post Exchange sports center by me as a young soldier.
The model name as advertised was "CZ75 Combat Competition Special" I later found out this was not a CZ customized gun, but an aftermarket job from Frankonia.
Known changes to this gun from an off the shelf version are;
Finish
Extended magazine release
More pronounced slide release
Trigger over travel stop
Trigger / action job
Adjustable rear sight
I've had this gun since new, it's been with me during my service before side arms were issued to any one that wanted one in the Army.
It?s been a carry weapon for many years now?.more than 60,000 recorded factory load rounds have been though this gun and never a malfunction of any type. I can still put holes exactly where I want them to go and as it always has,, it shoots better than I do.

And here it is after some gunsmithing and sending it to Springer Precision to get refinished via Ion bond. Aside from the obvious changes, it was also made to fit current style mags like those from Mec-Gar and drop free on mag release. It has been a solid performer in accuracy and reliability. It has even acted as a carry piece until I got my Pro-Tek 1. Btw, mfg date on the slide says, "80."

That is really slick! I'm really curious about the roll marks. They almost look like they're surface markings, painted or something. The roll marks on my '78 are worn really bad from a bad bead blasting by the previous owner. I've been trying to think of a way to restore them but no-one seems to be able to do it. :(
Thanks for sharing those pics. She turned out great.
Post by: Hockler on July 05, 2010, 10:14:53 PM
About the roll marks, I just ran a white crayon over it to see what it would look like. I thought it would be easy to remove, but it is quite stubborn, so I figured I'd leave it alone as it's grown on me. :D
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n167/HocklerMP5/IMG_0536.jpg)
Note that in the time between my old pic and new one, I somehow knicked my grips. Doh. It's also interesting to note that to fit Mec-Gar mags so that they too would drop free, I had to file down the insides of them.
Post by: tekarra on July 06, 2010, 08:34:13 PM
You had to file down the insides of them to make the Mec-Gars fit. Are you referring to the magazine well? My pre B mags are rounded on the front whilst the later B mags are more square and will not seat in the pre B. The pre B mags will function reliably in the Bs.
I think the white lettering looks kind of nice.

Nabbed this '79 from forum member bobofthedesert as he sold his '78; it was a bit more than what that one sold for. He might know a bit more about its history, but I discovered a sticker on the inside of the grips with a German address. It must have been the first owners' before it made its way State side. Think I'll keep it there to add to the mysticism. ;D
The rear sights, if I remember correctly, are factory, but it also came with the standard fixed. Kinda stoked since I have a '79 and an '80 back to back which is from what I understand, final production year of the A model then the starting year of the long-rails. It came with one mag and a box too. Luckily, I happened to already have three other pre-B mags that fit and function.
Anyhow, I already thanked bobofthedesert, but I'll do it again since it must have been hard to decide to part with such a fine specimen. ;)

She was purchased in Aug of 89 at the Rod and Gun Club on base in Darmstadt West Germany. Here she is with the other grips I purchased at the same time...
(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/billsled/IMG_20110113_154224.jpg)
The cleaning rod and the brush are both original to the gun. The magazines are both inscribed with the last 3 numbers of the gun's serial number. It seems she was born in '88 however....
(http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab51/billsled/IMG_20110113_154518.jpg)
When I returned to the states, I sold it to my brother. He got in some trouble and I bought it back from him. Sold it to a friend of mine, but got to missing it so that I bought a Ruger 9mm from a guy so I could trade to get it back. If memory serves me, She cost me about $150 new. Still got the ATF paperwork somewhere where I imported it when I PCS'd back to the states.
She was the first sidearm I ever purchased....the day after I turned 21.

Its a 1979 model all matching ser. no. 19xxx
It would be great if anyone has info on this type CZ. Was it some commemorative edition ? or am I being too optimistic ?
The grips are cocobolo wood, stainless slide, blued frame and gold bling on the hammer, safety and slide lever.
Raised Target sights.

this is my beauty..... on purchasing the firearm, and i know this is a forbidden test, i loaded 5 mags extra excluding the one in the gun...... and i just let all hell break loose on the range...... :-[
and after emptying the first mag i dropped locked and loaded the next and just let rip again..... it caught quite a bit of attention on the range which wasn't my intent but merely to make sure that, what i was purchasing would not fail me when needed the most...... and may i add that this in one piece i'm very proud to own as it handled the punishment with ease.... :-[
My wife also found it to be quite a comfortable firearm as well and she even added that she felt more comfortable with the CZ than with the PT92 compact.
And yes i had to agree :(

Surprisingly, it's stuck quite well. Thinking I'll need a good sharp needle and maybe some heat to melt the wax if I want it gone.
Also, the finish is Ion Bond, which gives it that very sleek black.

The blue pistol is gorgeous.

If you want to re-dot the safety indicator, a drop of model paint should do the trick. After I had mine Ion-Bonded, I borrowed some from a friend and it worked great.
That is what I plan on doing, have an early 80's PPK/s that needs the same treatment.
Thanks

CZU,
The blue pistol is gorgeous.
Thanks, I had the same thoughts when I first saw it.

Wish I had bought a couple of more of these when they were $175 apiece with a three purchase minimum.

The gun came from a shop what went broke.
The guy who took the inventory found several cz's on a forgotten shelf.
A CZ70,75,85,97 and 2 83's one in .32acp (first run 1983 number 638, got that one too)an one in .380.
85 and 97 where taken already.

As far as I could find out it's one of the first run.
The first 1000 where guns who has been tested and modified.
Date on test target say's june 5th 1975

85 and 97 where taken already.
The year should be found on the slide just behind the ejection port. I have got to say that this looks like the rarest find I have seen yet. According to "CZ 75: The Birth of a Legend" there were only 54 pistols made in 1975. In 1976 only 18 were made and the first full production year was 1977 which produced only 2000. Mine is a 1977 and my serial is 111**
***Edit***
I'm thinking this must be a 1975 model. I found a photo someone posted to flickr of a 1975 production pistol. I guess they made a trip to the factory/museum. Anyway, here's a link to the photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/guns-for-sale/6156510454/in/photostream/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/guns-for-sale/6156510454/in/photostream/)

Oh man. It belongs in a museum! :o But if you are serious about possibly selling it, there is a member here named "Otto N Sure" that has been looking for one. You might try to PM him.
BTW, to the mods, sorry if we're hijacking this thread. I admit I got a little excited when I saw this one. ;)
@ roinjo, you really should start a thread in the CZ 75 Classic forum on this pistol so we can further discuss it. ;D
Here's another photo of my '77 to further contribute to this thread. (Serial photoshopped out)

Started a new topic.
Post by: Joseph on December 03, 2011, 02:38:37 AM
I'd like to begin by presenting my first CZ 75 from 1991 (well preserved) that I bought on 11/21. Today, I tested it with a 100 rounds of Magtech FMJ, 124 grains. I had only one failure to feed, don't know if it was a mag or ammo issue, but after that no problems. The barrel is in very good condition, as it's accuracy and grouping performance. It came with Rubber Hogue Grips, which are excellent, but as the tittle of the Club says, it doesn't go with the pistol; too bad it didn't came with the original grips (I'm looking for them)

(http://s9.postimage.org/h0i44qbmj/PC020012.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/h0i44qbmj/)
As you can see, the dots must be re-painted again.
(http://s8.postimage.org/7r84p92s1/Alza.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/7r84p92s1/)
(http://s12.postimage.org/wcdvo6n0p/Guion.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/wcdvo6n0p/)
Now before going to the range, I had to do some little work with one of the magazines. It feeds perfectly, but the slide would lock back like when you ran out of ammo, when actually there was one more round left ready to go into the chamber; only thing to do is to rack the slide. It's because the slide stop is from the older version and the follower of the magazine is from the current version of the pistol. It seems that the face or nail (don't know how to say it in english) of the old slide stop that connects with the magazine follower is longer than the current one, and even when I had one left, it was still touching the portion of the follower in order to make the slide to stay back when the mag is empty. So I used a file to get ride of that portion that was causing problems, and now it's working just fine. I could change the slide stop so I don't have to do this, but the current one is not meant for this classic design, I prefer the old one here (besides, it's not a big deal)
Best Regards
Joseph

You can get nice reproduction waffle grips here:http://vintagegungrips.net/ao-c62a.html (http://vintagegungrips.net/ao-c62a.html)
As you can see, the dots must be re-painted again.
I'm thinking someone else might have added the sight paint. I don't know if the later model pre-b pistols had dots and a painted ramp or not. I know my earlier model pistols do not have any paint on them at all. If you want to repaint them most people have had some luck with plain old Testors white model paint. Or you could buy some real sight paint from the internet.
Post by: Joseph on December 03, 2011, 10:27:52 PM
I can't tell how helpful you were for that link you gave me. Are these grips of good quality just like the originals?
About the sights, I guess I'm pretty lucky to have found this CZ 75 in particular. Since it is the first time I will do this (re-painting sights), do you think this paint is good enough? http://siteglo.com/ (http://siteglo.com/)

I had sent mine in for them to make their mold. Here's some pics comparing the original grip with the reproductions The original is on the left and the repro on the right. The first batch they made seemed to be a slightly different shade of black. They probably look better now. And you can get them in different colors.
(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt301/vidi0t/CZ75/IMG_0743.jpg)
Oh, and that sight paint should work great.
Post by: Hockler on December 09, 2011, 12:58:33 PM
Regardless, very well made grips and they fit perfectly.
Post by: Indy_Tim on December 11, 2011, 08:49:12 PM
BTW, the second had 'A.A.L - Phila, Pa.' engraved on the front of the slide (seen in the photo). It looks like a person's initials but I'm surprised to see that on an ex-Czech police weapon. It looks like it's been on there for a long time. Just thought it was interesting.

OK Now what do I have to do to get a picture like the above posts. I can\'t seem to figure that one out.
From the link I posted before:
"Take your main picture link and paste it with "[ I M G ]" directly before the link and "[ / I M G ]" after the link.
Or just copy (CTRL +C) the tag off of the hostsite/Photobucket called: IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards"
Also, you can click the "Preview" Button to see what it will look like before you click "Post"

Here's trying; my '92 Pre-B from Robertson's, with some walnut grips fitted (were for a Springfield Armory P9, but I made them work with a little elbow grease)
edited- got the picture up. My phone camera must have done a little tweaking to it, I don't have any creases or lines beneath the screw on the grip, in real life.

Anyhow, I dusted off my 79 & 80 and took a pic of them together in the sun. The 79's bluing is so shiny compared to my 80's ion bond!

No one has posted a picture in awhile, so I thought I'd show of my new grips, grabbed off ebay. They are walnut, and styled like the early plastic grips. Gives my matte blued Pre-B a business-like look.
Any knowledge of where those originated from? I've been scouring the internet trying to find wooden classic style stocks. Very cool!

Hello fellow CZers, I just purchased this Pre B CZ75 at a local pawn shop for $322.03 & joined the forum. Appreciate your comments/thoughts. Thanks
Chief, welcome to the forum. It sure looks like you picked a good one for a very good price. That trigger is very good and can be made outstanding with a little help from friends here on the forum.
Looking forward to hearing about your first shoot with it.
When did you retire?

Speaking of E-9's.....I was waiting awhile for a booth at an indoor range today and a gentleman who was shooting there came out and greeted me. Turns out he was my CSM from back in the the good old Reagan days and remembered me. Can't ever hide from those E-9's ;-)

@pysop96. I went and checked; It's actually "1986", is that the year of maufacture?

Destin is a beautiful area. Lived in Ft Walton Beach for about 3 years.
The Fraternal Order of Police near there, has a nice little "Action Shooting" range and welcomes military. 8)
