At the beginning of the panic buying I picked up a CZ P-09 but quickly decided it was not for me so I sold it an picked up a CZ75 B Omega.
I shot a CZ shadow years ago an though it was pretty neat but not really my jam. But now that I have this 75 in hand and its hard to ignore how well designed this pistol is. The fit and finish is superb. The trigger is very crips and the fit in my hand is pretty great.
But now what do I do?
Yes, yes, I know "shoot it" which I plan to do. But what do I need to know? Are there any areas that are prone to failure? Are there any reccomended upgrades that I should take into consideration? I have the MCBRO recoil guide installed and I plan on getting some slimmer grips but is there anything else?

Also, what holsters are availalble? I pretty much only use Safariland holsters and have about a dozen of them but it seems they do not make an ALS/SLS holster for this pistol. I do not plan on shooting any comps but I would like a duty style holster that features the Safariland mount pattern so I can throw a QLS fork on it.
 
No. Just shoot it. Don't worry about "upgrades" unless your own experience actually exposes some shortcomings.

This is my advice for all guns, not just the CZ-75. People who start changing out components on guns they know nothing about and have no experience with make me shake my head.

They have a reputation for breaking slide stops. I can't say how much justification there is for the reputation, but I can tell you I have had two of these pistols and neither one of them ever broke anything.
 
The firing pin retaining pin is a part that can get worn out over time, Mcarbo sells a spring kit easily found on sites here that also includes a replacement pin if you really wanted to have a backup pin. Wolverine supplies I believe is the warranty place for CZ ? They also sell parts for it along with double tap and others. If you use some googlefu and search for cajun gun works canada you can find aftermarket parts for CZ's I have multiple CZ's and have multiple holsters made by soley canadian if you wanted a great handmade canadian holster https://www.solelycanadian.com/
 
Thanks for the input guys. I don't typically upgrade guns for the sake of upgrading. I consider my self a pretty proficent pistol shooter. However I do know that certian pistols have parts that wear excessivly fast or are just generally in need of higher quality replacement. I'm not really into super fancy triggers as long as the stock one is decent as I don't believe a better trigger makes you a better shooter. I will grab some spare pins and an extra slide release.

I have had a few of the Solely holsters but I found the double kydex a bit bulky but perhaps I can give them another try.
 
Oh, I will add that when I had mine I wished I had proper roll pin punches for complete disassembly. If you don't ever plan to tear it down that far, don't worry about it of course.

I like Solely Canadian for Kydex. Are you talking about their "comp" holster? I find their "concealment" holster to be pretty trim.

For leather I like Simply Rugged.

I think I had their comp holsters with the double kydex. The concealment holsters look nice but they use belt loops and I am already setup with the qls system.
 
The new ghost bucket is pretty good for the cz75.

I would get fiber optic front sight and blacked out rear sight if possible. Maybe a Cajun or emantech hammer spring and slide spring. Oh and recoil buffers are great.
 
One thing I almost always change is the sights. I prefer a tritum front and a blacked out serrated rear. The stock sights aren't terrible but the will be changed out soon. Once I have my reg cert I plan to shoot the piss out of this gun. The more I fondle it the more I like it.
 
I'm a big fan of thin aluminum grips on a 75. If your hands are on the smaller side like mine, I highly recommend wrapping your hands on a gun fitted with them.
As has been said, get an extra slide stop. I did that ~30,000 rounds ago...and still haven't actually needed to use it.
 
Trigger return spring is prone to braeking, did on mine, get cgw or other aftermarket. Slide stop I heard as well but has not broke on mine yet.
