I am thinking about buying one.

How do they compare to the Glock 17 in 9mm?
They are a little more expensive than the Glock.

Any opinions?

Mine is not that nice . Mine is all black . I have a standard CZ75B in 9mm and it is my 2nd best shooter. Just a little behind my sig 226,but it does have a much better natural point of aim .
I paid $300 for the CZ and over $700 for the sig . Is the Sig that much better ? The answer is No !
Hope this helps ....
 
Mine is also the all-black powdercoat finish. I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend it over the Glock.

The two-tone is pretty sharp looking.
 
Oooooo.... you said the "G" word..... :D

Not sure what you mean by compare. They both shoot and do a darn good job of hitting the target if you do your part. They are both relatively easy to get parts and service for them. So it comes down to how they FEEL to you when you're shooting them.

I tried out about 9 or 10 different 9mm guns split about evenly for all metal vs polymer framed. That included a couple of Glocks. I soon decided that I was a steel frame sort of guy vs the plastic fantastic guns. I just preffered the extra weight that sucks up the recoil and the tighter feel to all the controls. As for looks I far and away prefer the crisp look of a metal frame to the rather lumpy looking Glocks or M&Ps. YMMV depending on how you like them
 
it is money well spent, pretty damned good pistol, you will not be disappointed, the fact is I bought it back when glocks were still expensive, now they are both priced about the same, the glock might even be cheaper now. I had narrowed my choice down to the CZ75B and the glock 17. Now that I have shot it for 4 years, I am still happy with my choice.
 
Gee....I have both CZ in satin nickel finish and a G17, IMO my G17 is not at the same level. CZ is by far the best deal of 9mm, Rock solid all steel flame, no play between slide and flame. shoot good and look good, Very comfortable to shoot. The only draw back is the factory grip panel is cheap plastic. But on the other hand, for a polymar gun, G17 is hard to beat. Very reliable. By the way the two tone 75B is the best looking gun.

Thanks for the advice.

I have a Glock 17 and love it, so I was just wondering if it is worth it to spend the $$.
I really don't need another 9mm (so the wife tells me).

Glocks are running about $650 and I think this is $799.

I've shot a Shadow and I found it was quite a bit heavier than the Glock and seemed a lot less recoil.

The CZ is recommended so now I guess I have to talk to the wife.
 
if you liked the way the shadow shot remember that a regular cz75 b will have slightly more muzzle rise given weight loss under the barrel where the rail goes on a shadow. Also the sights are different.

This sucks, My wife won't let me buy a Beretta 92FS unless I sell one of my babies. My 686, 75B and G17 must stay:redface:

Ask your wife how many pairs of shoes she needs :p.
 
I have the same problem......

The solution...... Get them to ship it to my work, then its a quick " gee fellas, I guess I gotta take this home, back in 20!" (before you open it!!! For Gawds sake don't open it at work!!!!) Then its in the safe before my wonderful, gorgeous, understanding & loving wife gets home from work....... :D

She never sticks her nose in the safe anyway......

She still thinks I have 2 rifles, 1 shotty, 2 .22's and 1 .17 and 2 pistols....... according to the CFC I have 13 non-restricted & 8 restricted!!!!!

Just read my sig-line.......

Cheers!

I agree 100%. I said almost the exact same thing to a couple of guys at the range last week.
 
Excellent gun, have the exact one pictured. I changed out the grips to the rubber ones, added grip tape, and pounded 3600 rounds in the last two months down the pipe without one stovepipe, jam, or anything. Dead on accurate, never even touched the sights right out of the box. Have shot several glocks and even if you offered two for my one I wouldn't trade. I shot a friends shadow and it stovepiped once on each of the first two mags I ran through it.

Maybe the loads were too light. I know I have that problem with the factory 14 lbs spring. I should have a lighter 11 lbs spring in a day or two to try lighter loads. Factory loads have never given me a problem in my shadow though, nor have my "near factory" handloads (couple thousand without a hiccup so far).
 
They're both great pistols (totally different, but great), try to get your hands on both, one will feel right and the other will feel not quite right. Go with the one that feels right. Either one will outlast the owner with reasonable care, I'd give a slight edge in durability to the Glock but a slight edge in accuracy to the CZ.
 
CZ75B in the black finish was my first gun and is still my favorite out of all I have shot. I remember going to the store looking to buy either the 75b or a 92fs, but still looking to handle a bunch of pieces, and once I touched the CZ I couldn't talk myself out of it; it seemed custom made for my hand. Apparently this is not an uncommon experience in 75B users, as the ergonomics seem near-perfect. Its also super accurate (look how many people compete with them), has a simple design, and could not be easier to clean. If you like the weight and feel of a steel gun you can't go wrong here.
 
Bone stock the CZ will outshoot the Glock, last as long, and have less felt recoil IMHO. The 75B comes with a much more comfortable grip for most shooters. The new CZ 75/85 series of pistols will have an upswept beavertail and the Omega trigger system. They are supposed to arrive this summer in Canada. The SP-01 family will retain the original trigger system.

If the Glock feels better in your hand and you like the polymer pistols go for it. The Glock also is a great gun if you drop your gun from airplanes often, freeze your gun in ice or drive over it with a vehicle. Considering vacationing in Iraq or Aftghanistan? Do you plan to be an "Operator" escorting foreign diplomats in strange lands? Buy the Glock. The Glocks pass the sand bucket test as well.

If, on the other hand, you don't plan on doing any of the above then a CZ might be a better choice.

Stick with the CZ.
They are great guns right out of the box.
If you like polymer get a SP 01 Phantom. I did a couple months ago and have no regrets.
If you are ever in NS drop me a pm and you can give it a try. :D
