I had never shot a CZ until I went on a "Gun Tour" over in Europe and shot a CZ85B back to back with about 7 other guns. I was in love with it at first clip. Amazingly accurate, easy to handle, little recoil, never misses a beat. I came back to the US and shot the newer CZ P-09 and found and outstanding gun that shoots very tight groups at a fantastic price. I still like my Walther's but my next purchase will be a CZ.
My favorite brand of firearms. Accurate, affordable, built tough, and they make guns in calibers that a lot of other manufacturers don't. I love the single set trigger that comes on all their rifles, and I really like the 550 Safari Classic. CZ rules!
They're far from affordable for the masses. The basic line pistol might be 700-800 bucks which is pretty pricey when you can get a glock. The top of the line models can be upwards to 1100-3500.
I've got a couple of CZ75B's and a CZ75 compact. I'm looking at a few more though. I've owned everything under the sun and CZ is by far the best. I've owned Sig, Glock, S&W, Walther, H&K, and a few more I can't remember. I'll likely sell my Glock 19 and get a P10C. As far as full size duty 9mm handguns there's something about a steel framed CZ. It feels so substantial in your hand and between the weight and ergonomics, recoil is nonexistent
I have two P 01 variants, one with an aluminum frame and decocker, and one with a steel frame and safety. Both are beautiful guns that, for the price, can't be beat. I can find no machine marks on the interior parts. That only happens with other manufacturers if you go to the custom shop and pay much more. These people really take pride in their craftsmanship.
I have a CZ550 American in 6.5x55. It is by far the most accurate of my collection of rifles. I just got a CZ 75 D Compact, and unfortunately, it shot well to the left of the point of aim out of the box, so I'm in the process of drifting the rear sight and sighting with a laser before testing at the range, a tedious process. I sure wish that CZ still made the 550 series, they are beautiful rifles. I really like the controlled feed. Great video!
Always amazed at how few people know about CZ while everyone I know who owns a CZ loves it??? I'm seriously considering going to 100% CZ for 3-gun matches but can't decide between a CZ 805 and a czechpoint 5.56 VZ58.
performancepursuit After my first CZ75 I was hooked. I quickly got up to 4. I still want a blued CZ75B and a 805 Bren. The Bren is amazingly high quality and the recoil is almost nil
CZ is thd best gun producer in the Czech Republic and in the world. I like it very much but Czech republic also the best manufacturer for armory in Europe too.
I love CZ. All of their military contracts prove their quality, but it can dramatically slow down consumer arms production. I've got a 75B on order, that I've been waiting months for, and have no clear timeline on when it'll be available. Kinda sucks, but I'll wait as long as it takes..
I have a cz 98 African grade in .458 and a cz97bd in .45 A.C.P. great guns, "quality." the cz97bd is my main carry piece, I like the decock and instant readiness.
@TaliskerLaphroaig That's a strange way of putting it. I have to agree with you with the exception of the P07. My wife and I have had 2 of that pistol in a row, both with defects. Other than that, CZ is a top notch firearms maker.
If you are living in the states then it might just be a by-product of ordering on an election year. The backorder on AR-pattern rifles (DD, BCM, Stag, Noveske, etc) are nearing 1/2 a year at this point. My buddy pretty much told his dealer he would wait on his 75BD and instead got a shotgun and started shooting trap relationally lol.
There's a reason Hitler wanted so desperately to invade the Czech nation many years ago. They have one of the finest if not the finest arms factories in the world there. If only America had the dedication to building the best firearms in the world that permeates the CZ factory there. I have never found a better made or more accurate weapon than what CZ builds in the Czech Republic.
Good eye. It's a rimfire semi auto. If it is a CZ, it may be a model that was never offered commercially in the U.S. since it's not listed as a discontinued product. Looks like we see it again in the video at 6:05, listed as a "CZ 511"
