Thanks for the tips. No handgun is perfect for everyone. I have heard over and over that these things fit better in the hand than most pistols. And they are reliable (as in, Glock reliable) so I think it is worth checking out.
I'm curious, does your model have an ambidextrous safety?
I have a 75 D Compact in 9mm (basically the P-01) with a decocker on the left side only. I'm a lefty, so it is a little awkward; however since it is just a decocker it isn't too much of an issue.
Congrats!
Czech out the CZ 85 models. They are the ambi models.
I would also like to see what types of holsters everyone is using on their CZ's. This pistol is not getting the aftermarket support it deserves. I have a Blackhawck Serpa for a Smith and Wesson 5906 that it fits although it is a tight fit. My CZ 75 Compact .40 has a rail so that is what makes it tight. The CZ 75 in 9mm fit perfect in this holster so if you are looking for one i recommend it. I have checked other Blackhawk Serpa Holsters and the #13 for Glock 20/21/37 & S&W M&P .45/9/40 also fits perfect for my particular model.

OK folks I just joined the club. I picked up a CZ 75 BD nib yesterday and since I promised my wife she would never see it (backup position to "I'd never buy it") I held it briefly and played with the buttons and levers. Outside sitting by the garage. I am a newbie with weapons (watch out). My only experience with handguns came about 2 mos ago with a one on one class from an instructor firing 180 rnds with a S&W 9mm M&P. Nice comfortable polymer pistol. Anyway, any tips about anything, like can I shoot it out of the box. I expected it to come encased in vaseline, but no. Can I hurt it dry firing it. Mostly for range work. I'll use Fed 9mm 115gr .20/rnd unless you guys tell me diff. I'm trying to read the manual. Have looked at reviews. Read this forum and post occasionally. I always thought heavier things were well made (except for people). It was this or the M&P. I think this with a Hogue rubber finger grip might feel great. I have no accessories, holster, oil. Don't have my license yet so I don't think I need much. The box is the holster. I need all the advice I can get. Will take it to the range soon. After reading the NATO specs I figure there's little I can do to hurt it. I'm trying to read the manual, but I've been a learn by doing kind of guy. I'm also big into safety, mine as well as those around. I need to learn about DA SA and decocking. I guess I should take 2 buddies up on a trip to a range, but I have 2 nearby and theirs are far away. One is retired IPD. Cheers, all.
Nobody in Indy,Camby,Plainfield,Greenfield,Wannamaker, Bburg. Avon have them. Just tryin to save ya the heartache.
My personal favorite CZ is my CZ 85 Combat
CZ's are all good IMHO
