Finally got to bring my new CZ 75B to the range today and I am a little dissappointed. First let me preface by stating that I am new to handguns and this was only my 4th time to the range. I bought my XDM 45 in December and probabably have about 500 rounds through it now. It was my first handgun I have ever shot so this is the only gun I can compare it to.
I decided to start the morning off with my new CZ 75B as I had been really excited to try it out. From 7 yards out first shot I fired was low and to the left. Lined up the sights again and took aim and again it was low and to the left. Three magazines later I decided to reposition my finger on the trigger so that the tip of my finger was touching the trigger and it was not curving around. Once I made this adjustment my shots were much more consistent and about a 1/2 inch from the bullseye I was aiming at. I ended up shooting about 100 rounds of WWB 115gr and the gun performed flawlessly, but I felt that I was really stuggling to hit my target consistently as everything still felt low and left.
I was feeling a little disappointed after this showing so I broke out the XDM. Again, from 7 yards out I took aim and slowly squeezed the trigger. This time it was a bullseye right of the bat. I fired 50 rounds of WWB 230gr and 50 rounds of Independence 230gr without a hiccup and all shots were tight and on target.
I really dont undrstand why I felt so much better shooting my XDM. I feel like th CZ 75B fits my hand perfectly but the trigger pull seemed much longer even in SA. I love the sights on my XDM and felt like I was really struggling to line the target up with the sights on the CZ 75B. Also, after 100 rounds through the CZ my finger started to become really sore. I hope with a few more hundred rounds the trigger will loosen up a bit.
As of right now I like my XDM 45 a little more, but with some more time at the range I think that might change if the trigger will loosen up and I can become more consistent with the CZ.
