Yeah, it shoots.

 CZ 85 Combat with target

Just in case you were wondering, the CZ 85 Combat still rocks after its recent overhaul. I had a few failures to return to battery in the first 50 rounds due to the new, extra-power Wolff extractor spring; it was a bit TOO extra-power until it took a set.

The solution? I just field-stripped the gun, slid an empty case up the breechface and behind the extractor, and let it sit for a few days. Boom, 100% reliability restored.

The target above was 16 rounds in ~30 seconds, 10 yards, Weaver stance. Discounting the lone flyer it’s a 1.5″ group, which is about the best I can do on a routine basis. I really ought to shoot it over sandbags at 25 yards.

  1. That seems like acceptable combat accuracy.

  2. Praised with a faint “Dayum…”

  4. That’s damn good shooting TD! And the CZ is downright sexy.
