Question re: Sights on new CZ75b

[derweibhai]

Make sure that you use snap caps when you dry fire the CZ, they are one of the few centerfire handguns that will be damaged by dryfiring w/o a snapcap. If you really want to get good with the CZ or any handgun for that matter you should look into getting the Kadet .22 conversion for your 75B. It will allow you to master your pistol's trigger and feel and you can shoot all you want using cheap .22 ammo. You will be a bullseye shooter in no time...........

If you are shooting 3 inches low left at 10 yards that would be 7.5 inches low left at 25 yards.

Try putting less finger into the trigger if you are right handed.

If I move my finger a little bit it makes a huge difference.

Here is the results I got after mastering the position of my finger on the trigger, which is, place finger on trigger such that first segment (part of finger with nail) is on the trigger and not the joint.


Note: target is labeled incorrectly, only 13 rounds were fired. I verified this when I counted the ammo left in the box.

I am in a similar situation with my relatively new CZ75BD.  It shoots very tight groups but about 1-2" low at 25 yards.  Part of the problem may be ammo as I have not yet developed a load for it I am going to stick with but so far it shoots low regardless of what ever I run through it.  Another issue I have is with the stock CZ sights being a little small - which seems to be a common complaint.  This is not a condemnation of CZ because the stock sights match the trim slide design but I prefer sights that are a little bigger.   If I can't bring impact up with a load I will have to do something different with the sights - including a possible recut for something entirely different.

As a side note, you don't need snap caps for dry firing if you install the Cajun Gunworks FP-RP, a solid Carbide steel Firing Pin Retainer Pin. That was the reason CZ went to a doubled roll pin, to try to eliminate roll pin deforming from dry fires. The solid piece from Cajun permanently ends that problem.

Agreeing with the trigger control advice, I was incorrectly taught to always 'squeeze the trigger' if you want accuracy. That's only true of bolt actions & some revolvers, NOT pistols! With semi-auto pitols you pull the trigger as described above or else the gun is all over the place. Ask me how I know....

Thanks Spirit for the trigger advice about " not squeezing the trigger.  I noticed that the softer finger touch seemed to deliver more accuracy.  I have been thinking about the conversion to 22LR.  Would like to practice more and less expensively.  Looking forward to shooting the 147 grain..
