Hi guys!

I've put my deposit down on this gun and was wondering is it a good first gun?

The only problem I have with it is that it is an anniversary edition gun and there are only 525.

Is it okay to shoot these guns on a regular basis? Or will it significantly lose its value?

Thanks !
 
If I had an Anniversay edition of anything I would have a hard time firing them, but that's me, I'd buy another to shoot that is similiar but maybe not as pretty
 
Thats actually where I bought it from.

Because its limited edition I purchased the gun first before I even have my RPAL. haha I'm an eager beaver.

i like the feel of it but if its a collectors item I probably shouldnt use it as my primary gun.
 
To be honest the reason why i am selling the 92FS is because the grips are too large. It's also the reason why i loved it in the first place.
In my opinion big grips are easier to steady and aim with, you got something to hold on to. On the other hand mag changes are a pain, and this is why i am selling mine.
Too slow to mag change with my shape of hand.
 
Brant shooting sports (upper page sponsor) has some and do sells spare mags
I asked double tap sports if he could custom order since he is so easy to deal with in my opinion
 
I just really liked the feel of the CZ 75 Legend.
It's a shame it has to be an anniversary peice.
I think I'll buy the Beretta 92FS.

EDIT: how do you guys feel about the M&P 9mm?
 
The grip of the Beretta 92 has pretty much the same ergos as the CZ 75. The only difference is that the grip is thicker. Personally, I'm not a fan of the M&P 9mm. Why not just get a CZ 75B, CZ 85 Combat or CZ Shadow?

Yeah, I will drop by the gunshop next week and feel the guns and see which one I like better.
I just think the Beretta looks a lot better. It also has a decocker I believe.
 
My personnal opinion, the anneversary edition is not that much more expensive, why not run that one off as a primary?
Though this is from a guy working hard not to collect and use well all i can get my hands on

I read from somewhere that the anniversary edition is pretty much the same thing as the CZ 75 Omega.
The price on the Omega is 699 and the Legend starts at 999.
Thats why I'm having a problem deciding. The Legend will have better resale value but if I;m going to shoot it as a primary I think that may effect the resale value a lot. But I'm new to this so I have no clue. Inputs?
 
I wouldn't buy a new "collector edition" gun and lock it up in a safe hoping that it will increase in value, I bought a special edition gun that was shot a lot but I only paid about half of what it would have been worth if it had not been shot.
I think main question is: Do you want to shoot guns or collect them?

I have to disagree..... the beretta has a thicker grip and a shorter trigger reach, that makes it feel quite different in hand. For most people, the CZ has much better ergonomics.

I agree about getting a Shadow if the OP likes the CZ75. The SP-01 Shadow is a great choice for a Canadian gun as our pistols are range queens. Its got no firing pin block and has a better trigger then regular CZ75b models including the anniversary pistol. The extra weight in the long dust cover/rail help reduce recoil. Also its a fun pistol to own as it can be modified with things like SAO trigger and CZ competition/CGW hammer to give it what could be one the best trigger on a pistol.

In regards to the original question. Usually special edition guns dont go up in value much because most people buy them and put them away. There are exceptions but this is the rule. True rarities such as prototypes, army/police trials weapons or other low production examples are what most collectors value highly and should not be used as a daily shooters. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself if you want to collect or shoot. Do you want to own a mint pistol, and then eventually have to pass it on to another person for them to do as THEY please with it. That is what collecting boils down to, owning an object for the sake of admiring it temporarily.

Here is some more food for thought about the CZ 75th Anniversary pistol. Two pistols that sold in USA auctions recently:

1. This one went for $1875 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=328867392

2. And this one got $3582! http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=327958138

Wow! Do you have any information on how to import guns to US for sale like that? I would do that and buy a Sig with the extra money!
