The Charlie Zulu 75 is an excellent auto pistol. She ain't pretty, but she will deliver the firepower and will not jam.

Definately one of my top ten favourite pistols of all time!

I have the CZ-75B. In fact it's sitting on my computer desk next to me.

I like the gun very much. It's an above average on the accuracy scale out of the box.

The ONLY regret with the pistol is I wish now I had gone with the CZ-75BD (D being for the decocker feature that I really like).

The gun eats any ammo...factory or reloads....without hiccups.

I think it's a pretty gun. :icon_biggrin:

I have CZ75 - not B - and the gun is beautiful. Fits like the proverbial glove.

I have had my CZ for several years now and it is my favorite auto. Mine is the Tactical version that features an OD Frame with a black slide. I added an adjustable rear sight. The only shortcoming is the trigger action. When it is in full-cock and you pull the trigger there is always a bit more retraction of the hammer before release. It adds a bit of creep to an otherwise smooth action. As stated by others, this pistol eats anything that you can feed it...military ball, Nato, +P, HP, you name it. It all shoots with out any issues.

I don't really know. I think that it was just a marketing gimick. I haven't seen many others in the came color scheme.

I have a CZ75 SP-01, pics and a range review can be found here. http://www.militaryfirearm.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=49.

I haven't owned a pistol that fit my hands as well as as the CZ does, and it is incredibly accurate.

my brother has a CZ-75b, single action only model, and i have to say it is one of my favorite pistols of all time. it's right up there with the browning high power as far as 9 mils go

I think I'm going to have to get me one soon

I have the CZ-75, the CZ-85, the CZ-97, and the CZ-75 Kadet. I think it's safe to say that I like CZs! Never a malfunction or a problem.

How is the accuracy of the Kadet? I've been thinking of getting a Kadet kit to go on my SP-01.

My Kadet is a tack-driver. It's a complete handgun, not a conversion kit, but that shouldn't make a difference since the frame is the same.

Cool!:thumbup: That's what i was hoping to hear. If the accuracy of the kit is anything like the stock 9mm CZ, i think i'll be happy.

I had a CZ75, but it always felt larger in my hand, compared to the High Power. It's increased frame width makes it less suitable for concealed carry as compared to the High Power, which I can conceal under a T-shirt.
I don't know if it is still the case, but my earlier CZ had a controlled feed extractor, meaning it had a lower tail that started grabbing the case on it's way up the feed ramp. My friend made the mistake of dropping the slide on a round in the chamber ONCE and the extractor broke.
The CZ75 is a great service pistol, but I prefer the Browning.

Browning HP is my all time #1, 1911 is #2, CZ-75 #3, Sig 226 #4, P08 Luger #5, S&W Model 19 #6, Walther PPK #7, Glock 17 #8, S&W Chief Special #9, Bren Ten #10.

Unfortunately I only have 5 of these 10, but I'm working on it!
