New CZ 75BD report . . . awesome gun!

[Stealth-Fixr]

I just returned from the range with my new CZ 75BD. I picked the gun up from my FFL last night, cleaned and lubed it thoroughly last night, and then took it to the range this morning. In total, I put 4 different type of ammo through it--total rounds expended 400. I shot:

- 200 rounds Winchester white box
- 100 Rounds Wolf ammo
- 50 rounds Remington UMC
- 50 rounds CCI Blazer

No one malfunction of any kind, period, zip. I found ot to be very accurate, ergonomically outstanding and very smooth to operate. It ate everything I gave it without complaint. It made shooting fun! The more I shot it, the more I wanted to shoot it. In fact, I had not planned to shoot all 400 rounds!

The ONLY negative I could find was that the trigger was great out of the box, but not perfect. It was not quite as smooth as I would prefer--but that's really nitpicking to be honest. If my mind is not playing games with me, it smoothed out a little the more I shot it. So, I would expect this to improve with time. The trigger was smooth enough from the start that I was often surprised when the break point fired the gun--very nice out of the box. I am sure a bit of smithing and maybe another 600 rounds would make this trigger perfect--perhaps the best I've shot.

This gun is a total keeper--the shoot me if I ever think of selling this gun kind of gunit goes into my growing collection with great respect and pride. Everyone has their pet gun makers. Glock'ers defend theirs strongly, and so on, and so on. However, this gun is just flat awesome regardless of the price. When the price IS factored in, I am not sure why they do no market just a little more--it should be the best selling 9mm out there.

If you are on the fence about buying this gun, be assured in knowing it is an awesome gun that runs and/or bests anything out there. The price just makes it a no-brainer.

Question,

I come upon that gun occasionally and find that the decocker gives the trigger a 'click' on the uptake.  I don't like anything but a totally smooth action and I found the examples I came across anything but that.

If Your's doesn't have that, I'll keep playing with to assure myself that it's a fluke in some of them.

Update:

I've got over 6,000+ rounds (I've lost count--could be more) through the gun since then.  It continues to be highly accurate and totally reliable.  I take it to the range on every trip.  I've also used it in USPSA Production class, and it has excelled in that use.  The trigger has smoothed up nicely over time and use. but I may take it to a gunsmith and have the travel limited a little (preference, not a fault).

To answer the question above, yes, mine did have a slight, almost imperceptable click on the trigger uptake in DA and SA.  That has nearly gone away with use.  I do not notice it when shooting at all anymore--I have to be sitting down dry-firing it to detect anything.  The trigger has really smoothed out mostly in the past 3000 rounds or so.

It is amazing how many other people shoot this gun and then look at their own uber-expensive HK or Sig and wonder why they spent so much!  No kidding, this happens with everyone that shoots it.

CZ = awesome guns that also happen to be at an great price.  I am considering buying a satin nickel CZ 85 Combat so my wife can shoot the 75BD in 9mm and with the Kadet adapter.
