I've been to a few gun stores here locally and all the pistols I've had my eye on are well under 600. I want a 9mm for HD and range. But mainly so my girlfriend will be comfortable using it if she needs too. So it sounds like a good buy
I paid that for a new one...but would have been willing to pay a little more. The cz75 platform is one of my favorites and once you own one you will cherish it for a long long time.
Three years ago I bought a CZ85 combat for a hair over 500. Nowadays, 500 for a 75b seems like a good deal. I would jump on it. Plus those two tones are real slick looking. All you need to do is get some nice grips for it from the custom shop and you're set.
Well the guy is pretty firm which is fine due to the way gun prices are. Seems like this two tone is a elusive one to get for a good deal. Im jumping on it. What should I look for when I check the 75pending out?
All of this. There really isn't much that can go wrong with the CZ75s (except I think the compact 40s had some cycling/ejection issues). Slide to frame fit if that matters to you. Make sure the slide pin looks alright, I remember reading some of the older models would shear pins easily. Also, check the frame for any cracks. I don't think it was common, but I remember reading about someone who cracked two different 75 frames (could be a tall tale). Dry fire it to see how the trigger feels. 75s tend to smooth out very nicely over time, so it should give you a good idea of the age of the gun. Besides that just check for cosmetics (make sure the nickel plating isn't flaking off, if the guy used cleaner with ammonia in it it can get under the nickel plating and damage the copper underneath).
