Will you do an episode on the CZ85?

A history of the CZ75 and the clones would be an interesting book!!!

Just small historic correction. The communist regime fell in the fall of 1989. ("Velvet revolution" started 17.11.). And Czechoslovakia split on January 1, 1993. :)

I wonder how a 75 40cal may feel. should be heavy enough.

my lady had a 85 as her first handgun. use to praise cz for the gun/money ratio. frankly... I don't like the trigger and I'd want to run a cz like a 1911. my huge paw is too fat to get underneath the safety. the ambi 85 I could work some only slow. the 75... nope. maybe a 97 would work I never tried one. those competition shadows are better. overall I am not a fan of the inside slide either. she switched to a 1911 in 9, too.

I've got a CZ75 clone: Tanfoglio Mossad (standard size). It is the firearm I can shoot most accurately. I don't know if that's due to the grip angle or not; all stainless steel, it's a hefty piece at 41 ounces. When I downsized a few years ago, passing most of my firearms collection along to my adult children, this is the only 9mm I kept. Uses Mec-Gar CZ75 magazines.
