dubyar2u,
        What kind of wood grips are those on your Combat, and where did you get them?  I need to get me a pair!!!

Thanks
JOE

Thanks for noticing them!
Got them from marschalgrips.com
Made from Wattle wood, red shellac finish, checkered, w/ thumbrest, RH.
They ship from Budapest, and it takes 2 to 3 weeks from the day you order but, I think the grips are well worth
the wait. The cost is the best deal I've seen for grips of this quality. They have several to choose from for CZ's.
Hope you have fun choosing a set. And , FYI- mine fit perfect. ( I don't work for this co. or have any connection
to them, I just really like the grips and the price)

Dubyar2u,
Thanks for the info, I will be ordering them after the Holidays. You are right, you can't beat the price. Have a great
Holiday.

Thanks, JOE

And happy NewYear....now I added grip tape. Was at the range this A.M. I guess it helps a bit, but, not as much difference as I expected. Here is a pic.

Why do pictures of pistols always seem to have a pocket knife?

Can't we use girls instead?

Nice rig you got there and the grip really sets it off!  Who makes that grip?

I finally got the work finished on my 85, so thought tonight I would snap some pics and show her off. This is my first CZ ever, and i'm pretty impressed with the accuracy on this model.  I also wanted to get the duo-tone model, but that was impossible to find in stock anywhere. This nickel was in stock in some wharehouse in the DFW area, so grabbed it. I just started IDPA, initially with a Sig 229 0.40, but it wasn't good in the longer (20yd) targets and the magazine release was difficult to work quickly.  This 85 combat is great for this competition stuff.  The extended mag release is fantastic. I had a local smith do a trigger job on it, replaced with ghostholster's competition hammer, reducing the DA/SA from 11.5/5.5 lbs to 8.5/2.8 lbs, and he rounded down the square trigger face. Put a fiber optic front sight on it and wrapped the handle with some custom, 'slim' grips from Marschalgrips (<- great deal, and outstanding quality). The rubber ones were too thick to do quick magazine changes, I suppose I have smaller hands than most; anyway, these new grips are perfect. And, i added those rubber bases to the magazines. I hate to ding them up in dropping on concrete. Also, if you guys have any interest in holsters, I highly recommend Haugen Handgun Leather out of north dakota... this is my 2nd purchase from them, and it took only 4 months.

Ammunition that it doesn't like - Blazer aluminum (avoid this stuff) Two FTEs in three magazines.

Ammunition that it doesn't like - Blazer aluminum (avoid this stuff) Two FTEs in three magazines.

That's an individual gun thing.  I've been using Blazer aluminum for years in all of my guns, including my 85 Combat, without problem.  My next bulk order will probably be Blazer aluminum.   

A good point to keep in mind, however:  if you're going to buy in bulk, try small amounts before buying large amounts.  Some guns just don't like some brands of ammo.  (Same models might not prefer the same diet.)

Thanks Walt, i'll keep that in mind.  A bunch of shooters came up to me after my two FTEs during the match and asked me what I was using. When I told them, they said "I've heard CZs don't do well with the Blazer aluminum".  Fortunately, you may just have a non-tempermental example.  I'd prefer not having to worry myself. I'm testing the Monarch brass right now, and am liking it so far.
