I feel the slide design doesn't offer as good of area to grip when racking the slide. Not that it can't be done with ease, every other design(CZ is the only design I know of like this) has more surface area to grab. The larger surface area could be more forgiving under certain circumstances. That's really my main dislike of the CZ design.

Just my opinion.

Not hard. The area is just small enough to make cycling under speed hard to do. Not like a 1911 at all.

i like mine. came across this shiney thing in a pawn shop and it followed me home.

M&P Shooter · 06-30-2012, 20:59

The sexiest gun of all time and what the Glock 17 dreams about at night. Very accurate and very reliable

ArmoryDoc · 06-30-2012, 21:35

That is one fine looking gun.

gbanker · 06-30-2012, 22:48

CZ is awesome. My Sp 01 is a tack driver!

BOOSTED12A · 06-30-2012, 22:57

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a bright polished CZ.

Would beg to differ on this point, Sir. I routinely conceal a CZ Shadow (3 lbs loaded) in a Remora or SmartCarry. Despite being a thoroughbred full size racegun, nobody can tell I'm armed when I wear it this way.

Here's a picture of Veronika as we're talking about CZ's in this here thread:

I landed this funky two-tones even before CZ imported the "Tactical Package" (two-tones but in reverse pattern than mine AND with an accompanied crappy folding knife).

Never did figure out where the heck my two-tones came from. Never seen another one like it either.

Well, the slide rides inside the frame like the Sig P210. The Sig doesn't have much slide area to get your fingers on either.

The lack of surface area on the CZ75 slide is not a big deal for me racking it and it is one areas that matters to me quite a bit.
The Polycoat finish was one of the many pleasant surprises. I was expecting cheap looking and slippery like many manufacturers seem to be obsessed with but the Polycoat has a texture close to parkerized which helps a lot. The PPQ for example, between the slippery finish, slide shape, shallow cocking serrations, and heavy recoil spring truly sucks in the slide racking department.
If anyone doubts me on the PPQ, run some jam clearing drills with sweaty hands next to Glock 19.
The CZ I would rate about average, bearing in mind also you only have a 14 lb recoil and 20 lb hammer spring weight to overcome which helps.

I don't think I've ever seen a P210. If I have, it's been just glancing over in the case at a lgs. I really like the CZ75 but I'd rather have a Glock for carry/SD/HD/IDPA. I'd rather have a 1911 for target shooting. There's really not a niche that I'd chose the CZ for over other types. The CZ's are built like tanks and I've heard that it's the most used design world wide by militaries. Just not my first choice for anything. I'm rambling I know......

This is what I was replying to. (very difficult to rack.) Not your reply.

jason78 · 07-01-2012, 13:06

I love my cz75dao, but how do you know if it is a 'B' model? I would like to get some more mags but don't know which will fit?

**Diesel McBadass** · 07-01-2012, 16:13

Cz had a couple failures to go into battery today, any idea on a fix?

I honestly couldn't tell you. Never heard of that happening before with a CZ. I know neither my friends or myself have never had any sort of problems.

If it occurs again (assuming you did fire those rounds) I would field strip the gun and see if the rounds were a "good" fit to the chamber, as a first step.

A tight chamber or badly sized rounds, weak spring, weak ammo, schmutz in the slide-frame-barrel area, and bad mags causing the follower or other rounds to pop up are the main causes.

**Diesel McBadass** · 07-01-2012, 16:30

slide just stopped 1/4 inch fron closing, round was on feed ramp just dint close up

The only times, with a new gun, that I have had that problem was lack of lube or a fit that was too tight at the muzzle bushing on a 1911. It cleared up before 50 rds and never occured again.

Once the round is in the chamber and the slide is almost home it becomes a matter of a few simple things, usually obvious in a field strip. Give it a once over from the muzzle to barrel fit, the locking lug on barrel and slide, the chamber/ammo dimesions, breech face, under barrel lug and pin, magazine.

PM me if you want me to walk you through the check list with my CZ in hand.

And you obviously don't own one, so what makes you qualified to comment?

Who'd a thought that members would talk about things they know nothing about.

Diesel McBadass If the rounds aren't deformed Field stip the gun and give it a good cleaning and lubing. From my experiences with CZ's they chamber rounds pretty effortlessly. If it continues sent it back to CZ. There a stand up company from what I've heard. I've never had to use them though.

Golddog · 07-01-2012, 18:55

Since my 75's have 18 or 19 round magazines plus one in the chamber, racking the slide doesn't seem to be a major concern. If I can't get the bad guy with all that ammo, I probably won't be alive to insert and rack a new mag, anyway.

So I can't comment unless I own one of every gun ever made? Wow! I love it when people get all high and mighty on here. I bet there's no chance at all you've had an opinion on something you didn't personally have experiance with. What exactly did I comment about anyways? I never made a comment about a Sig 210. I simply stated that I've never seen one. I commented on the CZ 75 slide design, which I've handled and owened. I've said this in earlier comments. This is just one persons OPINION about a gun, I don't understand why people get so sensitive.
