You cheated!  That's not an 85 Combat!  That's nice pre-B 85!   (Hard chromed?)  Made in Czechoslovakia, not the Czech Republic...

DID NOT!:)   Bought it new when I had my FFL at the time. 1993. Originally was enamel, but I sent it down to Checkmate Plating in Florida. Horace, who owns Fords Gun www.fordsguns.com, worked there at the time. Done a heck of a job on the pistol! Highly recommend their(Ford's) work. I had this one done in a brushed hard chrome. Here's the original box. Actually I'm kind of surprised I still had it around after a divorce and a couple of moves.

Nice gun.  Yours is the first I've seen that was marked as an 85 Combat on the box, but not on the slide, and which had that that older, pre-B style sight.

Here's mine.  (I need to go to a higher resolution picture, when I get some time.)  Notice the "Combat" on the slide.

Nice 85, Walt. I'm not particularly fond of the rear sights on mine. Not because they don't work well, it just pretty much eliminates me any options if I was to ever want/need to change. If I had to sell all my handguns and could only keep one, this one would be it, though. I've used it to qualify for a couple of pistol courses over the years and plan on using it when I qualify for my CCW permit.

My well loved 85C, it has the best DA trigger I've ever felt, and the best SA trigger outside of a 1911 or tuned S&W wheel, at least imho.  I have no idea if the previous owner (I bought it used) did anything, but I love it...

I recently discovered that CZ-UB made some form of the "85 Combat" since 1986. A true Type A CZ 85 Combat has a different shaped triggerguard than the transitional or new production 85 Combat. The triggerguard was neither round nor square before 1992, but had a sort of recurved shape at the bottom. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture.

The 85 Combat is the one model that I have never owned, but I have always secretly wanted.

Yep.  I decided to take a chance in case Santa Claus is real.  You gotta believe!

Actually, you may recall that I have been talking about getting one for six years off and on.  If a million dollars worth of talk could net you one real dollar, I would probably have three or four by now...

Anyone want to trade their 85 Combat in nickel for a lightly used P-01?

A few of you guys helped me thru the front site F.O. thing. Today I decided to polish the barrel. Who knows what I might do next?

I just got this this winter. I didn't want to use my short rail (early classic) pre-B for IDPA shooting so I bought a CZ-85 Combat. Trigger has almost three times the take up compared to my CZ-75. Also heavier but that's ok. Either I will have to get used to it or I will need to work on it.
