CZ 85B recommendations!
« on: February 18, 2015, 06:46:59 PM »
Alright boys(and or ladies), I was going to try to trade my CZ 85b for a compact version, but nobody wants to play......so, tell me what I need to have done to the baby to get her fixed up!  It's a 1994 model....dont know if that makes a difference or not!  Thanks for any insight,

Steve

I have a question. Would you like me to edit your user name so you don't put your email there out every time you post?

My insight is, do not do anything except try to sell it at a price that will make someone say "I can't pass that deal up!". You will never get a 100% return on investment on an upgrade you do to a pistol.

How about some pictures?? I thought the B models didn't come out till '95? You say fixed up. What needs fixin? Or are you looking at modifications for yourself?
    Or doing  something to bring more money? If this is the case, I agree with Rock-it.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond....here's some pictures!  I was initially looking to trade for a compact Cz, but now I love my full size!  This post was to get y'all's ideas on what to do to make the pistol better...in functionality and looks.  Here's what I've done....replaced the hammer spring with a 13 lb'er, extended firing pin, f.p. spring, block spring, and added some vz grips....this made a huge difference in trigger reach for me!  This is by far my favorite pistol now!  Feels great and extremely accurate!  As far as the birthdate of this baby, she's got a 94 stamped just above the extractor...have all original paperwork dated 1994 as well.  I've always heard of transitional models, but I think most of them have slight differences here and there....this one is all 85b!  If you've got any insight into the whole date mystery, I would love to hear it!  Thanks,

Steve

The B model was introduced in 1994 (Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia, James D. Brown). Happy 21st birthday to your nice looking 85B.
