Solid build, tight, decent finnish, cheap grips. Not a true CZ-85B copy as only the safety and not the slide lock is ambidextrous. Trigger pull is really heavy in DA, but fine in SA. This pistol could use a trigger job.

Out of the box it is quite an impressive shooter. I'm no IPSC guy but I can group pretty well under 15 meters. This shoots at least as well as my Glock 22. I did encounter one stopage. I believe the bullet snagged briefly on the feed ramp, then chambered but stayed slightly out of battery. I tapped the mag and racked the action and all was well. When I examined the ejected cartridge the bullet had a slight dent on the front. I chambered this and it fired without difficulty. I put 100 rounds through it in about 20 minutes.

At $350.00 this is a nice little pistol. I replaced the grips with butler creek's and intend on a trigger job. After that this will be a great gun.
 
ah. not sure how tight or loose the fobus stuff is. from what i read most of the holding is at the trigger guard. for $18 or so, i bought one to try out.
 
NP-40 Fobus fit

ah. not sure how tight or loose the fobus stuff is. from what i read most of the holding is at the trigger guard. for $18 or so, i bought one to try out.

I tried one (the one that Freddy had) and it didn't work too well. I tried the Fobus for a CZ 75 and drilled out several rivets, then added spacers and screwed it together. It worked OK, but was ugly.
 
I bought the uncle mikes kydex paddle size 22 (Sid 226 .et al). Drilled a hole to tighten up the retention strap and she seems to work quite well.
