I also purchased an 85 from DWJ.  An excellent source of CZ imports that can use some TLC.  This one is similar to yours without the adjustable trigger.  Also has the parkerized finish, which will spare me having to remove the polycote.

Funny, I saw that one. The finish is way nicer, although mine definitely has character. Same price too, good snag.

Double posting with a question regarding magazines. I've got a 17 round Act Mag magazine (listed as Armscor when I bought it) marked CZ-75, and it isn't fitting front to back. I made the probably ill-advised decision of forcing it into the mag well, and if I do that the trigger works but the disconnect doesn't (won't "fire" again unless I cock the hammer manually) and I have to really shove on the top of the mag with the slide removed and the mag release pushed to get it loose. I know that the Pre-B frame is slightly narrower front to back but someone earlier said that it looked like I had the new frame. Unless they changed the interior dimensions of the mag well at a different point from switching the trigger guard? Is it possible that I've got old magwell dimensions or is it just likely a bad magazine? It says made in Italy so until I saw the packaging I assumed it was another Mec-Gar OEM magazine.

I don't have calipers so I can't check anything to see if it's tolerance stacking.

I decided to go at it with some sandpaper because why not? I still have to yank it out, but it will run at least. Good enough for range use. Didn't even need to sand much, just enough to take the paint off. Either tolerance stacking or an ever-so-slightly out of tolerance mag.

It's impossible to tell from pictures.

It's a transitional model. Can you see the year of production in the area just behind the ejection port?

If you can get the seller to measure, front to back, one of the mags that fit, I can measure some late mags to see if they're the same.

Looks just like the trigger on my 96 85 Combat.
