CZ question thread - serious discussion only

I have the Wizard warranty. Basically, as long as he's breathing I'm good.

Better than the factory warranty IMHO

 

[WebSnyper]

Most warranties are limited to workmanship and materials. If a manufacturing or defect doesn't show up within 5 years, it probably doesn't exist.

I do see your point, but my experience with CZ would indicate no concern. Every manufacturer sells a turd from time to time. CZ isn't any different.

In general, for their handguns, the more use it has the better it gets...

BTW: I don't have a P10F but I do have P10C and it is a GREAT gun with the addition of an HBI trigger. Maybe the best striker trigger out there.

Alot of firearms companies also don't commit to a very good warranty in writing, but have great reputations for customer service, service after the sale, etc. No direct experience with CZ on this, but several others are known to do this. Some also have service policies that aren't warranties but pretty much take care of you.

Just to be clear for DadSmith, Ruger has NO written warranty. They have a policy that pretty much follows what DadSmith said. Colt and Glock are generally respected firearms manufacturers they both have 1 year, first owner warranties.

I had not considered CZ's warranty and it would not have made a difference if I did.

Yes sir my kind of thread. I think I just might have a problem with CZ. I have there custom shop 75 shadow, sp-01 shadow, evo- scorpion, a 1994 compact, p-10c and my latest p-10f.
I have not sold any but have thought about it till I get them out and shoot them, then it’s a nope back in the safe you go. I do carry my stock p-10c and shoot idpa with it. The others get to go to a few matches during the year.

CKW (Spouse) bought me a custom shop Shadow. Having experienced the work of the Wizard and CGW's I was not that impressed with it beyond the fact my lovely spouse thought enough of me to buy it. I contacted the Wizard and passed it along. What was returned to me was smooth as butter. It is one of my favorites.
And I like them all.

Very nice family.

A warr. always has a fuse unless so noted. And trust when I say the cost of a warr program is part of the purchase price of anything you buy. Anything. Warr. is not "Free". I have no idea where that concept comes from. CS/Warr is all figured into overhead/operating expense.

 

[DadSmith]

So basically do your research before you buy and not worry about the warranty. My main concern would be getting a lemon. I'd say you would know you had a lemon before the 1st year of a warranty would expire.

I got turned on to the CZ brand reading the "original" CZ thread.
I knew nothing about CZs till the summer of 2018 & I have since had 9 of them:

75B Omega
75 SP-01 Tactical
Shadow 2 (Wizard upgraded partially)
Rami
P-10
P-09
P-07
75 SP-01 75 (2nd one)
Rami (2nd one & Wizard upgraded with full Cajun package)

I kept the Shadow 2 which is the most magnificent gun ever in my hand.
I recently picked up the 2nd Rami since I had to try a CZ with the full CGW package.

The Rami symbolizes everything I like about in a gun: size, hammer, all-metal, weight, upgrades, DA/SA.
I don't even need it for CC b/c of a Sig 365 (picking up today) & 938, Kahr CT (picked up 2-3 weeks ago), Kimber 6s or for the range, b/c of the Shadow 2.
I'm back to the point where a couple need "trimmed." AGAIN.
But, I couldn't help myself: it's "perfect." (OK, too big for my preferred pocket carry )

Love the flat trigger. Don't know why everyone doesn't put them in when they do "trigger jobs."

Ignore Glock 17

Pretty much. The lemons I have had were out of the box. Anything that broke down the road was easy peasy repairs. Major stuff as to owner error is not covered anyway.

Is the CZ P10 F basically a polymer version of the CZ75? I know its striker fired, I'm wondering about the ergonomics.

Nope, different ergos altogether. If you want a CZ75 that's polymer, you want the Phantom.

You're welcome to shoot mine if you like. We could go to the HHRP outdoor range at Gnaw Bone or meet up at Accuracy Unlimited east of Seymour.

Thank you. Glad to have knowledgeable people around.

That would be great. I'll PM you about it.

I warn DadSmith! Beware!
gmcttr invited me to shoot his Shadow 2 two summers ago, and I was no longer happy with my CZ SP-01 Tactical that I was so proud of.
2 weeks later I owned a Shadow 2, my most expensive gun.

Sorry for the humor, gmcttr!

I warn DadSmith!...Sorry for the humor, gmcttr!

It's always welcomed.
