Norinco NZ-75 and 85 is there a difference?

The NZ is slightly bigger than the CZ, specifically the slide is taller and a little wider, the NZ is a very nice gun for the money $399, where the CZ is better is in the sights and the serrations on the slide are deeper and easier to grip. I use CZ mags in mine with no problem, but the NZ85 won’t take pre B mags if I remember correctly. The best price I have seen for a CZ new is $699 at Reliable.
NZ-75 and NZ-85B are very different, besides the ambi safety. NZ-85 is based on (read: copied from) the Tanfoglio TZ-85, which is a copy of CZ-85. NZ-85 has a full-length guide rod. CZ-85 doesn't.
Look at Marstar's web site for pictures. So far their pictures are the most accurate - even more accurate than Norinco's own web site. Isn't that weird?
Norinco NZ-85B is now priced at $345 at Marstar. It is very poorly finished (it actually looks like CRAP when you open the gun case for the first time). But it shoots fairly accurate after the first 200 - 300 rounds. Maybe I should post a range report of this gun.
No, CZ mags do not fit in the NZ-85Bs.

Funny thing, all the NZ85's Ive seen have had a finish that is far nicer than the CZ paint.
As far as accuracy goes, they are as good as anything out there. I have won matches against good shooters using Glocks, Berettas, Sigs, etc.....

The NZ-85B mags are slightly wider than CZ mags. I measured both. I also bought a CZ mag and tried. It actually worked in the gun, and could hold the slide back after the last round, but I could pull the mag out without pressing the mag release.
Hey thanks for all the great info guys, i have been using a Ruger MK II for a while now and im looking to upgrade to a bigger cal. Just dont want to spend a whole ton of $$ at the moment, and i thought the NZ-75 or 85 was a good deal at Marstar.
Thanks again,
Thanks again,
