I bought one of these a while back, and never had a chance to fire it for about a month after I bought it. I took it apart when I got home, and dug the simplicity of the gun, having never handled a CZ. I own a norinco 1911 .45 that is a good gun, so I figured I would save some money and buy the NZ-85B.
Anyway, I took it to the range, and couldn't get more than 4 rounds off before the mag would fall out of the grip?
I played with the gun for a bit, along with another guy who was there. It seemed the mag rattled in the handle of the gun quite a bit, like it was loose. There was score marks along the magazine where the piece that holds the magazine in the gun slid along the mag as it fell out....I don't know the name of this piece but I'm sure some of you more knowledgeable people do. The one controlled by the button that releases the magazine....I tried taking it back to the dealer, and they informed me that due to norinco's "ironclad" warranty, they couldn't do anything for me, I had to ship it back to marstar, and wait maybe a couple of months until it was fixed (shopkeeper's experience with turnaround times on norinco warranty work).
I was pissed, and returned the gun to the dealer, who graciously took it back. I am maybe looking to by a Smith & Wesson MP 9MM, as I shot that gun, and really liked it, it fit me well and I was shooting bullseyes at 12 yards with it, which for me, as a new shooter, is amazing. It also seemed way more well put together than the NZ-85B, even though it is plastic and I am not sure I like plastic guns better than steel.
So I guess the moral of this story, is you get what you pay for, and I am a guy who always looks for a deal. 379$ for a faulty gun isn't a deal, if you can't get it serviced without waiting forever.
Now, I'm not going to pay less than 700$ for my next pistol!
