Well, took her out for the first time today put 164 rounds through it (those 16 round mags lead to goofy round counts :)). Not a single issue and I was feeding her 9 dollar russian steel crap for 100 rounds and 64 rounds worth of WWB. I'm already in love.

At 25 feet, not even pretending to have hit it on the first round, but the real impressive thing is that my dad found the bullet back in the hill after we were done shooting!

I had a CZ cadet... atleast I think thats its name.. well the .22 model for 2 weeks and sold it, I cant stand the ergos... didnt fit my hand well at all and had to adjust my grip which defeated the point of using it as a trainer for my full size...

A TZ-75 was the first handgun I ever bought! Either it or my CZ-75 seem to get drug along, nearly every time I go shooting.

It is indeed a heavy firearm, but that weight is what makes it such a soft-shooting gun, even in its .40S&W guise. One can realistically go an entire day shooting this gun without feeling recoil fatigue.

The "Baby Eagle" designation MR gave the gun (ostensibly to capitalize on the Desert Eagle's mystique) was a silly marketing move, in my opinion. They should have just kept it as the Jericho 941.

Here's my Jeri... er, "Baby Eagle" chambered in .40S&W:

Was my first 9mm at caused me to really enjoy the sport. I have the CZ 75B Compact w Crimson Trace grips. I have killed a lot of evil paper tgts with this! I have the Kadet too. Takes less than 20 seconds to switch out between 9mm and .22.

You can convert the cheaper Beretta Fs92 9mm mags to the CZ with a good eye and a Dremill tool. Gotta get it just right.

Thats a nice looking Jerico...

I picked one up once at a cabelas, I couldn't flip the slide safety off with out a considerable amount of effort, it was in an awkward place. Kinda ruined it for me, since I liked a lot of other stuff about them...

Snowgun, check out the safety on my Jericho 45FS, upper left. That older style safety is ergonomically terrific and IMO should never have been changed.

Yep, it's too bad they changed to the slide safety....

Holding one was enough for me, it fit like a glove.

Wut? :?

If you are talking about the front sight (taking a shot at translation here), that came standard on the gun from the CZ custom shop. Fiber optics are the best. I believe they sell them if you want to mount one on a regular cz75.

Check out cajun gun works (as well as CZcustom and CZusa) for other esoteric CZ parts to snaz out your gun with.

I use a CZ for trap shooting, love that gun. Had some nice work done to the stock to get an adjustable comb.

Snowgun - yes sorry I didn't catch that, sometimes fat fingers and iPhones don't mix. Predictive text doesn't help either.

Aaron - I held one too and it DOES feel wonderful in the hand. I had to pass it off quick or woulda found some way to leave with it. Whatever I go with will be my first handgun purchase. I may be taking a friends "mistakes" a little too far as far as buyers remorse goes but I would like to shoot it first. I've been looking at that or a sig p226 on paper and in the hand they are neck and neck. Got a lot of info from the guys on the forum when I joined. Bill's has a cz to rent and a buddy can get the 226, I just need the time and money to put some rounds down range. If after that they're still tied I'll prolly go with the cz. I really liked how that fit. But as I was told fit isn't everything.

After all that is said I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone again for their input.
