Anyone else like these? Finally picked these up the other day. Consecutive serials on 3 of them (Dad, Mom, Son) and the 4th I may export as a gift to my father in Canada. These are actually very common and popular in Canada.
I've fired the CZ 75 B 9mm before and have wanted to buy 1 for sometime. I found these a few weeks ago, price was great, had the cash so I said WTH and bought them. I haven't had time to shoot them yet but plan on a range trip this week so at least 1 will be coming along!
Ogles First Note: They haven't been cleaned yet and full of packing/shipping oils.

Generally everyone agrees that the triggers are gritty and the SA pull is really long and heavy. This is completely true. Many people say 1000 to 1500 rounds before you noticeably feel a big difference. I'm thinking I'll opt for a trigger job on one with some 3/8" rubber hose and a lot of dry & range firing on another just to see how the 2 compare. Care less about rails. Will be ordering a set of Hogue grips and a set of wood
Walnut checkered grips from Marschal Grips. Will also order 1 or 2 sets of Meprolight night sights. For giggles I picked up a pair of 30 round magazines that were cheap enough for me to bother with and very likely sell later on. That or drop them in a SHTF bag?!?!?! lol
Any others own one of these and care to drop your thoughts or experience on them?
Edit..
