That whole thing is a crock of . Federal grants to pay cops OT to give tickets.

It allows politicians from Obama down to Pete Visclosky the ability to send out press information that they are 'fighting crime' and putting more 'police on the streets' blah blah blah

I wonder how much revenue was collected by those tickets.

Just curious but why are you getting one with the Omega trigger system? Most people prefer the standard model, not the Omega system. Clearly there is a market for the Omega trigger system, so this is not criticism, just a question.

It comes recommended by most of the CZ guys on here (Birds Away, LLHxxx, etc.).

When I researched it, I saw mostly info like this review:

"The CZ-75B Omega is basically a typical CZ-75B, the only main difference meriting its “Omega” designation is the fact that the trigger system has been reworked by the factory to make smoother than the standard model. Externally it looks exactly the same as the standard model, and the only way to tell the difference is by the Omega symbol on the slide markings. The trigger is supposed to come as close as possible to a custom trigger job."

That article made it sound like it was all on the expressway. I have a $25 seat belt ticket given at the end of my alley that says it isn't. They trolled the neighborhoods in order to pad their numbers.

That is not really accurate based on what it posted on the actual CZ website.

CZ claims the trigger is a simplier trigger.

It is only used on a couple models of their pistols.

The original CZ75b trigger system is a complex system but has a reputation for excellence. To get the most from it does, however, require professional gunsmithing by a smith who knows CZ triggers.

The Omega system came out to allow for safety-to-decocker conversions. It is used on the 75B Omega model and I believe the new plastic duty guns [P-07, etc] but not the older Shadow plastic frame. I believed it was developed for police departments (but I'm not sure of that) as it allows for the safety to be converted to a decocker, depending upon the needs of the department.

As for the "custom trigger job" comments, that is one that I totally dismiss. I've owned 2 of them. Its a good trigger. I wouldn't call it close to a custom trigger.

Seems to me that the biggest advantage is on your wallet. Being a simplified fire control system it costs less to produce because there is less machining required.

The biggest downside is that it could not be used with the 22lr Kadet Conversion kit. Its possible they made a new Kadet system, but I am not sure if they ever did that.

From the practical standpoint, the original trigger system has all sorts of aftermarket mods available, the Omega does not. That may be of NO INTEREST to you so it may be a NULL issue.

A guy in the barber shop said he got one too. What a crock of .

I'm good with all of that.

 

[melensdad]

I'm good with all of that.

And I am too.

Its just so rare to hear someone who is shopping for a CZ75 to actually go out specifically looking for an Omega.

That is the only reason I asked.

Part of it was the price point, and part of it was that I could get it from a dealer I do business with (Sportsman's Guide) instead of Gunbroker. They don't have the 75B without the Omega.

 

[Birds Away]

The Omega trigger system is completely different from the standard 75B and the quote above that the only way to tell is the symbol on the slide is total . IME, the Omega trigger is slightly better out of the box. The only part available for upgrade on the standard 75B that is not available for the P series is the 85 Combat trigger. You can everything else for the Omega through CGW. I was very hesitant to get an Omega until a deal for one came up that I could not pass on. Now, I am very happy I got it. I have had it fully Cajunized and am really, really happy with it's performance.

Um, I can, if you want.

I did not realize SG sold firearms. I have not re-upped my membership lately, mostly cause I'm broke. I had a barrel on back-order there for months. I finally got it, but I did not order anything from them while it was back-ordered. Couldn't beat the price, that's for sure.

 

[Ericpwp]

We are being invaded!

 

[Birds Away]

We are being invaded!

I wiped my feet before I came in.

 

[Ericpwp]

Oh, thanks. Hey, you're not that far away!

 

[Birds Away]

Oh, thanks. Hey, you're not that far away!

Nope, not really. I have friends up here.

They just started selling firearms, and their prices are not bad. The Buyer's Club discount on guns is 5%, and I also use Ebates which gives me another 1.5% cash back. They just had free shipping over the weekend... not sure if it's still on or not.

Hey BA! Is this where start the invasion? ( wiping feet)
