If it shoots good I wouldn't worry too much about it except the magazine binding would bother me. Let's face it, if your going to carry this pistol for self defense you should carry a, just in case, spare magazine. Reloading under pressure is tough and I would have the binding issue taken care of by a competent gunsmith. If you are not carrying this gun for self defense I would still get the binding issue taken care of. I have a 75 D compact and it's all you could want a self defense gun to be. Of course you probably should get a CZ P-01, regular 75 Compact, a 75b, and a 97b in .45 would be nice, Now the new P-10c... Sorry, I'm rambling. I just get these urges when I talk about CZ's.

 

A .45ACP would be nice. If only they held more rounds.
And didn't CZ discontinue the 97b?
Does the P01 compact come with a decocker? That's a strong selling point with me.
Thanks for your answers, 1aircavalry. I look forward to chatting with you again.

 

Normal; is the mag should insert effortlessly and eject freely and briskly. Maybe you have glue or something on the inside of the magwell.

 

That was my conclusion, too.
I could 1) take it to a gun smith and have it cleaned out which would probably require another grip.
And/or 2) Buy another EDCC, make the first CZ a range gun and not worry about it.

BTW, I heard CZ is coming out with a new sub-compact, something like their old "Remi" which is out of production. You know anything ??

 

If the grips are indeed glued to the frame, I would be concerned as to why someone did that. Gut instinct is that he somehow ruined the grips screw threads in the aluminum frame and this was his solution.

Be afraid, be very afraid

 

It is not uncommon to cross thread the tapped frame grip screw holes, just have your gunsmith re-tap it and buy the correct screws.

 

Nice collection! I'm currently searching for a 97b. Can't believe how much they've increased in price since they became discontinued. I currently have a Vz50 in .32ACP, a Cz83 in .380 Auto, a Cz 75D PCR, and a Cz75b in .40 S&W
