    I have owned the CZ 75 PCR for several years...excellent pistol. Many complain about the small sights, but even for my older eyes, I find them fine.

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I also have the PCR. I agree with you, a very fine pistol it is. For "combat" use, the sights are fine. As with you, my eyes are old. These were never intended to be "target" pistols. I also have a CZ75 "Omega". CZ discontinued the Omega but did use the trigger system in later CZ75s, of which I also have one.The trigger pull was lightened just a hair and smoothed. Unfortunately, I don't get any of my CZs to the range as often as I would like.

    I recently had a set of Tru Glo tritium fiber optic sights put on my CZ 75 BD and I am extremely happy that I did. I am low vision disabled and can still see these quite well. Day or night. If I get a Compact I will definitely put the same or an equivalent set of sights on it. It is my home defense night stand pistol.

    • @RangeRoninChronicles
      @RangeRoninChronicles  20 дней назад

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I do agree with you, the stock sights are small. The luminescent quality helps but not all that much. It sounds like you are doing the right thing. My eyes are getting old and even some tritium night sights are difficult to see. I like the Truglo TFX PRO Handgun Sight, because of the red ring on the front sight that provides contrast with the rear sight.

If I wanted an all steel CZ with optic-ready capability, the SHADOW 2 OR would be my choice. But, now we are heading toward a substantial increase in price, over double that of a P10 F OR.

    I have a closely-related unit as my EDC: The PCR. I considered the 75 Compact, but found that small differences in ergonomics (mostly the different decocker lever and the sights my PCR had from the factory) won out.
    I was new to owning pistols a few years ago, and like a lot of folks new to carrying, I was uncomfortable with carrying with a round "in the pipe." The DA/SA trigger got me over that, and my P07 was a great step toward my current EDC piece. I was concerned about a manual safety, as it's one more thing to train to manage, but the DA trigger is a good-enough-for-me reminder that I'm pulling on a trigger, and having my thumb on the hammer when I reholster is a good way to make sure I'm not about to have a negligent discharge into my hip or leg.
    Still, one can't go wrong with a CZ, whether one prefers striker-fired or hammer fired.

    Range Ronin , It's something else how We have found interest in the same pistols, I suppose great minds think alike. I started My quest looking for another great DA/SA other than My Beretta, I saw the sp-01 at shop , I researched it and went back a week later to find it was gone. However I settled on the full size CZ 75 SP-01 DA/SA Tactical w/rail , at first it appeared to be larger than the Beretta, turns out it's exactly the same size . At some point, I'll have to get the Model you're showing here as a better carry size . Your wood grips are Beautiful, the stock grips not as much but provide great grab . I have heard that the decocker Model has a heavier trigger , I find that the safety model is slightly easier DA pull .

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I do love CZ products. Now that Colt has purchased them, I am not sure what direction CZ may go, if in any.
      Aside from the CZ75 compact, there is also the CZ75 D PCR Compact, which I hope to have a review on in the near future (since you go me thinking CZ again). The PCR name stands for ‘Police Czech Republic,’ the group for whom the model was originally designed. "Nearly identical in size to the CZ 75 Compact, it weighs in at a full 1/4 pound lighter owing to its forged aluminum frame, making it more comfortable for everyday carry.) - CZ USA.
      The CZ75 D PCR is very concealable. The "D" in the designation is for the de-cocking feature of the pistol. The pistol can be carried in double-action mode with or without the safety engaged to safe, or safely carried "Condition 1" - cocked and locked. I do like the de-cocking feature, as it removes some of the risks involved with manually de-cocking the pistol.

    With a Vedder Holster, & a decent belt. Would buy the original, iconic, full size 75 B (easily a top 5 finest handgun ever made) instead. Personally have no problems (IWB) appendix carrying a 75 B, Shadow, VP9, USP9, or XMacro. Live in Florida, so the P365 XMacro is generally the go to..Not because of its smaller size, because of its 17 round capacity. All said, the 75 B (albeit a heavier full size metal frame) is relatively thin compared to most, & rides (again, good belt, Vedder holster) just as well as it’s compact.…But with far better accuracy, trigger, & 16 rounds.

      I love pretty much all cz pistols. Drop the. CGW internals in the pcr and it’s just as good as the 75b trigger wise imo. You can use any size mag you want and get any desired capacity. Winter I carry a mag with TT base plate that holds 23 rounds. My pcr has been milled with 1911 buis plate for rmr cut. Ton of custom work done on it. I did the CGW internals myself. Love DA/SA for ccw. At 6’3” and 205lbs very athletic I can also carry pretty much any pistol I want. I carry a m&p 2.0 4.6 10mm with a tlr1-hl and acro quite a bit as well, always aiwb. The pcr/p01 just has the perfect balance to me. Not a fan of sig and their polymers are duds. To many malfunctions and lack of quality control over all their polymer product lines. Not to mention the testing on customers before it’s ready.

    I have the CZ 75 D compact and CZ 75 P-01 and have been having issues with failure to load on both. Both guns are new, I have maybe maximum 300 rounds through each. I have tried different ammo, and each time I take them to the range, I'm having failure to load issues with both. Yesterday my 75D Compact froze up. It would not fire, so I dropped the magazine, tried pulling the slide to empty the chamber, but the slide was stuck. I pulled the hammer back and tried firing it down range but just got the click of the hammer, I did it a second time and nothing. It finally expelled the round on the third attempt. I thought it was just a fluke, so I put in a different magazine, and after the third shot, the same thing happened. I couldn't even pull the slide back. everything was just stuck.

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I am disappointed to hear about accuracy issues with your CZ; that is very uncommon of them. It is not a tack driver, but once you get used to the trigger, and with practice, proficiency with it will increase. But, I have pistols that everybody tells me are extremely accurate only to find out that, in my hands, they are not - until I put a lot of rounds through them. I have shot pistols that shoot poorly, but when I hand them off to someone else, they are taking out the X-ring with them.
      I am shooting a different firearm every week. My first range day with a firearm that I have not shot before is more of a familiarization than trying to master the darn thing.
