CZ 75B in .40 Cal Purchase Consideration
« on: February 25, 2017, 09:23:50 AM »
A local fellow has a CZ 75B in .40 cal for sale that is BNIB, and I was looking for any feedback from the forum members. I have not seen it yet and was wondering if the .40 is as solid as the 9mm version? Any concerns I should be aware of?
I already have a couple 75's in 9 mm and just looking to diversify. Also, does CZ make a .357 Sig conversion barrel?
Thanks,

No conversion barrel available.......the 40 is just as solid as the 9mm, if your looking for diversity it's a good avenue to go. If I'm not mistaken, CZ isn't making 40's in the steel/alloy frames anymore only the composites.....exception could be the sporting/comp platforms.  I see the steel frame 75's in 40 occasionally, not too often...always "think" about getting one just never do, trying to only keep a couple calibers.  ;)

I have the CZ75B in 40 S&W and have found it to be accurate and ultra-reliable.  I have literally never had a feeding or ejection issue with either of mine (I have two).  CZ does 40 better than anyone!

Mine is a laser.

Around 2003 some (like mine) had an issue with weak extractor springs which is easily cured with a Wollf XP replacement.

I have one that I converted to SAO and added all the Cajun Spices. They are one of the softest shooting .40 caliber guns you will find and with the 10X bushing mine does 1.5" at 25 yards with most any ammo I feed it. I love mine!

The standard 75B is still listed as available in .40 for 2017. They did discontinue the SP-01 Tactical in .40 this year. Too bad, I really love mine and it is the perfect gateway gun to get people hooked on .40 cal.

The standard 75b in 40 is pretty good, mine had the best fitting from the factory of any CZ I've had.

Personally I feel the 40b frame handles better than the standard 75b frame, even my .40 RAMI is more comfortable to shoot when it comes to full power 40SW loads.

But... if I saw a good deal on one, I'd probably pick up another.

It is a bummer about the SP01 Tac, if I were to pick only one .40, that would be it.

I have both. Bought the 9mm for my wife, and the .40 for me. The .40 has a guide rod and safety on both sides, so it's good for lefties, I guess.
I really like mine.

.40 on the top, 9 mm below.

I absolutely LOVE my 75B .40!  I shoot USPSA Limited with it.  In my experience, it has been more accurate than all my 9mm CZ's.

I got mine for limited 10 here in CA, and tge SP01 for production.  Gotta say the 75b in .40 has been my most accurate CZ!

Quick question for the forum, my 40 came with2 - 10 round magazines but I see Meg-Gar has flush fitting 12 rounds. Anyone have any experience with the 12 round mags? They have 10 round mags, but they are listing them as "restricted"??

12 round mags are full capacity.

10 rounders are for those in 'restricted' states.
