CZ 85 Champion.....

[DOCMAN]

Hey Guys,hope I'm in the right place here.
I found a CZ 85 Champion 9mm,never used,in it's oily bag,in a gun-shop safe.Can any friend tell me anything about this pistol.Should I buy it?What am I buying?

Sure it's not a 75 Champion?

Champion is a compensated CZ75 either in 9mm or .40
single action, ambi safety..have seen them with two port or three port compensator..

nice guns..

It might also be an 85 Combat (not Champion); in which case, its a ambi controlled 75 with a couple of other extra features.  Its a good gun, without the firing pin block.   Just don't pay TOO much.

A Champion is a better gun, but I've never encountered an 85 Champion.  (The regular Champion will use standard 75B mags.)

Hey guys,
I did not want to make my name 'osama' here so I went back to make sure.It's says 85 Champion on the slide,thats for sure.Two-tone,ambi-safety,double port compensator,cz wooden grips and model '93.I'm not bleepting you guys,I cannot find anything on the net about this pistol!

It may be a semi-custom pistol from Frankonia of Germany. Just a thought. Every time I could not identify a CZ, it has turned out to be either a Frankonia or CZ-UB Prague Custom Shop gun. Since the Prague Custom Shop didn't exist in 1993, my twisted logic makes my guess Frankonia. (Comin next week: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?)

I have never even heard of an 85 Champion before. If it's legit, it would be worth at least what a 75 Champion fetches which is close to $900, IIRC.
