Hey look it’s a box! – My CZ-75B SA First Impressions
Posted on August 19th, 2009 at 10:27pmOoooh a small plastic box, wonder what's inside?
Oh hello CZ-75B SA 9mm.
Let's get you into something a little more comfortable.
But how does it shoot? Not bad for the first 10 rounds at 7 yards.
How about after 20 more rounds of practice?
I had been wanting a semi-auto in a caliber larger than .22 and I saw this posted for sale on Calguns and it met my two requirements: all steel construction and very accurate right of the box. I have nothing against the 9mm round and it is relatively inexpensive compared to .45 ACP so that ends up being a plus too. The plastic grips were fine, but I thought the cocobolo grips added some nice style and contrast to the gun.
The "SA" in the model denotes that it is single action only. Because of that the trigger is pretty nice with a fairly light and short pull. I've read that the only gun with a nicer stock trigger is a 1911. Pointability is good and it fits great in my hand. The gun is unique in that the slide is on the inside of the frame which lowers the axis of the barrel closer to your hand and it minimizes the profile of the slide. The only downside is there's a little less slide to grab onto which makes racking the weapon tougher.
And I think the accuracy right of the box speaks for itself.

That’s pretty sweet. how much did it set you back? It definitely does look better with the new grips.
$500 + $35 for the transfer. A few years ago, CZ-75s could be had for under $400, but they’ve gone up a bit.
And you don’t have to wait until you’re 21 to start going to the range. If you go with me to my range you can shoot any of my stuff and I can rent any of their guns for free as long as you use their ammo. So if there’s anything you want to shoot and figure out what you like let’s do it.
Funny thing is, you can actually OWN a handgun after you are 18 years old, but you just can’t BUY one. Intrafamily transfers between father-son are exempt from going through an FFL (who can’t transfer any handgun to those under 21). So if your dad gave you a gun, you fill out a form and send it to the DOJ. But, you can’t buy any ammo for it because federal law prohibits the sale of pistol ammunition to those under 21. Aren’t gun laws grand?

I am so down. It’ll be cool to have actual experience with the guns before I make a decision in the future. Sweet man. Dude, I totally didn’t know that. I’ve been meaning to check out the calguns site for quite some time now. Better bookmark that now.
haha, oh hai gun! i don’t know anything about guns…but those grips sure look nice. :-)
Ohhh, a handgun. Good aim, Lethal Weapon.
