Title: Used CZ 75B
Post by: wdbutcher on November 23, 2014, 12:40:13 AM
I went to a Gun Show this morning and found that a Dealer had a used black CZ 75B for sale. The price tag on the CZ was $445.00. Except for a very small scratch by the ejection port, it looked like new. After talking to the Dealer a little longer, he said he would take $400 cash for it plus tax. That seems like a good price. What do you think?

What year-mark was on the slide?  If in the market for 'another' 75B,  I'd buy it if it looks as you describe.

If I had the money I would not have hesitated.  That's a very good price.

I didn't look for the year mark, since I didn't know where to look. Thanks to this forum, I found out where to look for the year mark last night. I would have the thought this CZ was new, except for the scratch. The scratch is is only an 1/8 of an inch long and may be the thickness of a knife blade, but it did go through the black finish. You can see the shine of the metal through the scratch. They said that they had the case, both 16 round magazines, and everything else that would come with a new CZ.

Buy it.  A touch of instant blue or black epoxy paint will make the shiny scratch disappear.

Congrats! Don't think you can go wrong with that price in the condition described. Let us know how it shoots.

I picked up the CZ 75B this morning. It was better than I had hoped. The CZ was made in 2013 and had no blemishes on it, except the small scratch by the ejection port. I'll try to get some pictures of it and a range report as soon as I get time to try it out.
I would have gotten more information on the CZ sooner, but the Dealer lives about 4 hours away from me. I lucked out since he was going to be at another gun show this weekend that was only an hour away from me.

Careful folks will think you stole it for that price. ;D  Good buy.  I managed one up here for about the same price for a 2013.  Sometimes you get lucky.

Take Care

Here is my 1st CZ. Now I just need time to take it to the range. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. I can hardly wait!

Nothing like the first one. Looks clean as can be. Great find.

Thank you for the picture.

May it shoot flawlessly!

I should add an inexpensive  13# mainspring will make a world of difference to the trigger pull on your gun.  I run the 13# spring in all my CZ's and have never had a problem with light strikes.

You might consider shooting it a BUNCH, and/or dry firing it with a o-ring to smooth the pull.  While modern 75 series pistols often DO NOT have the smoothest pull, the pull can be made very nice with work - then you don't have to put on weak springs.  Keep in mind that weaker hammer springs will increase slide velocities and wear to the gun.  You can increase recoil spring in concert, but that puts more velocity in the return stroke, and more wear.  Likely NOT an issue for most, but it has that effect.

I inspected my new to me CZ and it had very little or no wear. I doubt if it has had over 400 rounds through it. The gun had been cleaned so well prior to the gun show that there was little sign of any lubrication. I must admit, I was not too impressed with the trigger the 1st time I picked it up at the gun show. After lubing everything up and dry firing using the o-ring, it feels like a completely different gun. The trigger is very good now. I doubt that I will make any changes.
I took it to the range today and was very happy with the way the CZ performed. I started a new post today on Day at the Range with my range results.
I don't know why anyone would have sold or traded in this CZ75 B, but I'm glad they did! 8)
