"B" model?
« on: June 05, 2012, 11:51:47 AM »
Just acquired my first CZ...an 85 Combat. How do I tell if its a "B" model? And correct me if im wrong, but I get the consensus the non-B models are more sought?

Thanks from a newbie!

There is no such thing as a 'B' Combat.

No Combat has a firing pin block which is what the 'B' stands for.

It is one or the other.
I had the right to remain silent...

but not the ability.

If you have a "B" model it will say 75B on the slide and no the 85 does not have a "B"
When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?

If you have a "B" model it will say 75B 85B on the slide and no the 85 Combat does not have a "B"

The 85 Combat is so marked on the slide and has adjustable sights, no firing pin block and has drop free magazines. The 85B is marked on the slide also.

The czusa site has both the 85 Combat and 85B.  It states the 85B has a firing pin block and that the Combat designation denotes the lack of a firing pin block.
