Slide stop on the 85 combat?
« on: June 20, 2002, 05:50:51 PM »
Hi!

Im going to buy my first handgun in a couple of months and because im a leftie im going for the 85 combat. Seems like you get alot more than the 85b for soo little money..

My question is regarding the slide stop, now how is it built? is it just like the original 75 stop with a slide release button clamped on the right side or is the right button kinda stuck on the frame, so when you insert the slide stop it clicks onto the button? Ive been wondering about this for ages.. :)  

The rearsight, is it the same sight thats on the kadet set?

Also i would like to know how the reliability of the 85 combat is compared to a standard 75b.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand your description, but I'll do my best to describe the CZ 85 Combat slide stop lever as I see it.  The lever on the right side of the gun is fixed on the frame.  It pivots but is not attached to anything other than the frame and has a shaped hole in the center of its axis of rotation.  When the left side lever is inserted into the frame, its end fits into the hole in the right side lever.  Once assembled, moving the right side also moves the left side lever, which actuates the slide stop.  

I've only had my CZ 85 for a short time, but I've found it to be just as reliable as the 75B.

I can't comment on the sights, because I don't know what's on the Kadet.  It does appear to be well made and somewhat smaller than the typical Mec-Gar or Millett adjustable sights that I've seen on Browning HPs and Kimbers.

The sight on the 85 Combat is the same as on the Kadet kit.  I have both.

Related question:

Can the ambi 85 combat slide stop be replaced with the standard 75 left side slide stop?

Say that 3 times fast!

I ask because I prefer a slicker slide.

Thanks.

85 Combat ambi slide stop replaced with a 75 slide stop?

No.  The 75 slide stop won't work.  They're made differently...

The hole in the right side of the frame is much larger on the 85 Combat, to accomodate the right side fitting into which the slide stop is inserted.

QA Commando explained this in his reply, but if you haven't seen or disassembled one, his words might not have made sense.

If you could use the 75 stop, it wouldn't make the slide slicker.  The stop is in the frame, not the slide.   (Maybe you meant "side", not "slide"?)
