View Full Version : Confessions of a closet CZ fan...

Well, I guess since CZ IS the parent company of Dan Wesson now, it's not a mortal sin, but...

I have liked the design of the CZ 75 for a long time, partially because it is all steel and partially because like the 1911 in the U.S., the CZ 75 has a long established track record in Europe. And the grip design seems to fit everyone. In fact, I was a CZ fan long before my COTEP Awakening occurred with my DW Panther.

But yesterday I fired a friend's CZ P07 Tupperware gun. Damn if that thing didn't feel and shoot like a DREAM! In a repeat of what happened a few weeks ago with my DW Panther, everyone who shot it was pinging plates one after another with little effort, even when they couldn't hit a plate to save their lives with their own pistol.

This is the first Tupperware gun that felt right in my hand.

CZ makes a great pistol....the 75 is the most copied design in Europe for a good reason.

Just took a look at that pistol...under $500....plenty of rounds on board....I wonder what ammo was fired in the video, looked like about zero recoil.

It's a great plastic pistol for the price, Joe. The only thing I.personally don't like is the huge controls.

I bought a CZ 75 BD a couple months ago. Have my eye on a compact to replace my M&P 9c.
Love the CZ.
Thought I'd update this, I'll have the CZ 75D PCR in a couple of days but going to keep the 9c as well.

Just noticed this, the CZ ain't no plastic pistol, at least not the 75BD that I have or the 75D PCR that I'll have in a couple of days. Not sure about the Rami but I think that is metal as well.

I too have a CZ 75BD. Truly great weapon. Never fired the P07 but have read good things about them.

In the OP, I was talking about the P-07 which is a polymer framed gun. If there were a Tupperware gun I could like, it's that one!

Yep, the Rami is all metal. I've fondled one.

Sorry I guess I was speed reading and missed the P-07 but then again I didn't know it was plastic anyway, sorry.

I can't say I like the look of the P07 much, nor do I like polymer guns much either. I've owned a few and sold them all with one exception, a SIG Pro 2340 I currently own. I've owned and sold a couple before, owned and sold some HKs, owned and sold a Glock, shot a couple of others and contemplated a Sphinx SDP, along with an HK VP9, a P2000 and so on. Just can't warm to polymer.

However, I've heard some awesome testimonials to the P07.
