Don't buy a CZ.
So I bought a new CZ 75 B in 40 cal this winter and thought it was a great piece until recently, when both magazines broke during the same session. The "feet" on the shell plate of the magazine, which center the spring, broke off - 2 on one and 1 on the other. They were warrantied and returned quickly. Today during shooting, the pin which the ejector pivots on, decided to come loose enough to allow the ejector and its spring to "eject" into the wilds. This caused a fired shell to stay in the chamber while another was jammed behind it. Any of you looking at a CZ may want to reconsider. Anyone with the same problems?????

Magazine issues are not uncommon with a lot of different guns--that's why most shooters buy several and make sure they all get tested. Extractors are also known to cause trouble sooner or later.
The CZ 75 in 9mm is known to be a good gun--I suspect if they simply upsized to fit a 40 S&W, there might be reliability issues. Don't blame the gun until you give CZ a chance to resolve your problems.

Dano..... I have a CZ 75B SA in 9mm. I bought it a couple months back and have had no problems with it.
I have shot it twice in competition (about 500 rnds) and it worked just fine. Initially I shot some CCI Blazer 9mm, and it had some ejection problems which I attribute to the Blazers lower power.
I have now switched back to Win factory ammo and it works great.
mballai makes a good point about putting a larger bullet in a frame originally designed for 9mm. Glock put the .40 in the G17 frame originally made for the 9mm and had some problems.

#1 in the world most copied pistol design is the Colt 1911.
Guess what #2 is?
Your right!
The CZ75.
Good 'ole 1911 has been around for 93 years.
CZ75 for only 29 years.
Must be for a reason.
Sold a lot of CZ's, and compared to the rest of the best, they have very, very few product problems.
Personal carry is a PCR model, that's being redone into both a 41AE, and 357 Sig.
Inverted slides rails, and lock up make this pistol easily, and safely used in 40 S&W.

Almost 5000 rounds out of my CZ40b and never a hiccup or sputter.

Have owned 6 CZ-75's over the years from early 1980's. No problems from theses other than early pistol (1979) had some finish problems. 1000's of rds through these with no problems.
Bought a CZ-75B in 40 cal last year and 500+ rds through it with no problems. Contact CZ-USA they great with advice, never had to have anything serviced there.

i own a CZ24 in .380 ACP, and my father owns a CZ52 in the bottlenecked tokarev chambering. both guns are well made, and problem free. 1000`s of rounds without a hitch in both pieces.
contact CZ or the place you purchased the gun, and see what they will do to resolve these issues.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."0 -
Sorry to hear about your problem but I am sure CZ will make it right.I have a 75b in both 40 cal and 9mm and no problems ever.They have a great customer service department.
