75 Compact, Safety, Steel Frame and Fiocchi 124 gr FMJTC
« on: May 02, 2019, 09:46:35 PM »
Had a fun time shooting in a bit of rain this morning. This 75 compact is one of my most accurate shooters. But for its operator, this CZ could shoot ragged hole groups all day long.

The circle is 5 inches.

Round 1 (Realized afterwards that the target pic is upside.)


Round 2


Round 3


Round 4

We've got a couple CZ75 Compacts.  I used to carry mine a lot, till I got that P01 Omega (black version).  Nothing wrong with the CZ75 Compact, but I noticed (every time I pick it up) the feel of the Urban Gray P01 Omega in my hand.  There was just something about it that felt different and better than the CZ75 Compact.  I finally came to the conclusion that it was the grooves in the front and rear of the grip frame.  I can feel them.  And my hand tells my brain that it feels really good to hold on to.

I've worn through the finish on the CZ75 Compact, used some of the heavy duty cold bluing from Brownell's (can't remember the name of that stuff right now - get used to that as you get older) and worn through that again.  I'm considering getting it refinished in the black nitride material/finish as that is supposed to be much more durable than the factory polycoat.

Does yours have the original bushing in it or did you install one of CGW's tighter barrel bushings when you replaced the sights?

My wife's CZ75 Compact doesn't need the bushing (that pistol was the first CZ75 Compact I ordered and I made the mistake of letting her shoot it - after that it was hers and I had to order a second one for myself).  We had Primary Machine mill it for a DP Pro, install a taller front sight and refinish the slide.  She's suddenly decided it's "too heavy".  I tried to tell her that if she'd just carry it more she'd get used to the feel and not notice it any longer.  Didn't work.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

M1A4ME - I have an alloy frame safety version that has the grooves in the front strap, it does give a bit more grip! This steel frame is stock except for the night sights and a stiffer safety retention spring. I haven't even polished the internals on this one. I'd say the trigger is ok, but nothing to write home about. It is the tightest 75 I have and seems to shoot better than my 75 Omega full size.

holidaypf, seems there are more variants of CZ's than fish in the sea.

None of mine are rare.  Well, I did have a couple of those P01 looking steel framed CZ75 Compacts but I gave one to each of my sons, so what I have now are run of the mill CZ's.

the relationship of your hand to a pistol is a funny thing.  But, your hand and brain can tell even subtle differences.
