Good info and I agree on the Sig 210, didn’t know the original was over bore. 👍 thanks for the reply.

They are cool. 👍

Yeah those are cool and has seen a couple vids but never one in person. Nice! 👍

Cool. I have a CZ 75 Compact myself, but never knew CZ made a Semi Compact.. must be pretty rare.

Thanks. 👍

So they important to Canada? Interesting. I think it would be cool to have one. 👍

@@unclejim2330 Early CZ's were really pricey in Canada, when I got mine (About '82) it was about $750 and US Tourists who stopped in were amazed because at that time they were very hard to get in the USA and when they could get them they were easily $1400 USD. Then shortly after that they changed the finish to paint or whatever that is you have on yours and the price in Canada dropped like a rock to about $325, we sold dozens after that. At the same time as all that was going on, there was the Type I, Type II confusion that you showed.

Thanks, my son loves them too. 👍

I hope he can copy them, I’d put it on both. 😂👍

Very cool, thanks for sharing that. 👍

Thank you. 👍

Yes that’s a Mendez and thanks . It’s my sons curiosity and I gave him crap because I have plenty OEM Glock. 😂 $10 Magpul is as low as I go for cheap and I can trust them.👍

There’s actually a first model with less slide I didn’t talk about that’s totally different and is the first. 🤷‍♀️

I still have the stock springs but go to Wolff gun springs and they will show you stock vs X power. 👍

Haha, everyone has their own likes. My buddy was stationed in Germany and brought home a transition model. 👍 Also we had friends from Germany come here and buy a 61 VW window van and ship it back! They said I couldn’t find their favorite beer but I surprised them and we had good times. 👍

Thanks. 👍

It’s a half cock and it’s mentioned in this or the other vid however pre b models can fail a drop test do to firing pin movement. 👍

I’ll check out the grips, thanks. 👍

Bilrentz- You may have what I have. It was called an "RSR Original" (I still have the box). I believe RSR was a wholesale distributor and sold a limited run of old style looking pistols. Mine has the firing pin block and takes the newer type magazines. but has the original slide scallops and rounded top, rounded trigger guard, tang hammer, and original style safety lever, and slide stop. the only negative was a set of thumbrest grips, which I replaced with a set of E-Bay rosewood grips from Thailand. Most important is that RETRO is NOT blazing across the slide. She is a beauty. I wish CZ would make another run of these.

@@carolwilson5348 Thank you for getting back to me I appreciate it!

The retro is the best of both worlds it has the old and new. But they only made 1000

Yeah they are awesome. 👍👍👍

Yes but they weren’t imported here. I still prefer pre b’s without decocker and the price. As for junk the Colt 10mm had an unsupported chamber and collet bushings that cracked and there was the term “super face” for their early 38 supers.. So don’t throw stones. 😂👍🇺🇸

@@unclejim2330 Don’t get all butt hurt with facts bro. Besides, we’re talking about the CZ 75 in this video, not the Delta Elite…. Which resolved their issue some 35 years ago. And it wasn’t the bushing that cracked, nor was there an issue with an “unsupported chamber.” Do you just make this crap up as you go? It was a frame cracking issue (which albeit is bad enough) on first run models, until Colt drilled out a relief cut near the slide catch. After that design change, the newer models since NEVER experienced issues, not even with “hotter” 10mm ammo. Get your facts straight. Another FACT CHECK for you: You’re also WRONG about the CZ 75 being influenced by the Hi Power. That is a false misnomer. As told by CZ historian and author David Pazdera, the CZ 75’s design was primarily influenced by the Sig Sauer P210 and NOT the Browning Hi Power. You can watch and learn about this fact on “Czechsovak gun stories” channel here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdOSactnm7O3iGw.htmlsi=Eya774nrej2LydSN

To my knowledge, none of those crackable 75s ever made it over any counter into the public. They cracked during testing, when CZ was experimenting with cast steel parts. That's why only cast 75s have beefed up frames and slides - the forged ones didn't need the extra material. Nothing seriously flawed or defective about them.

That’s why you look for a 75B retro.

@@davidfeiler2265 Anybody who is on the fence about one should just get a normal B. The pre-B-style frame on the Retro isn't worth the extra money.

They are steel. 👍

Older ones have a 2 idjit number by the ejection port. 👍

@@unclejim2330 I believe that's the same place I was talking about!

I thought it’s the number after the triangle

@@davidfeiler2265 It is. I think the triangle is an inspector stamp.

👍

Awesome. 👍

They have a half-cock drop safety, and only around 15k were made. 😉

👍

I bet. 👍

@unclejim2330 I paid 145 euros for a good pre b 2years ago

If by "originals" you mean the very first series (or "granddad" as they're called here 😁): No, not anymore. Prices have gone up dramatically from 400,- to about 1,500,- during the past 3-4 years. But Pre-B and B? Yeah, sure. They're still at around 300-500 (used).

MT?

Montana, USA

Sorry, that was a no live chat warning and I forgot to delete it. 🤷‍♀️
