New gun owner with a CZ 75B - watched a few "how to clean" vids to teach myself - yours is by far the best. Clear, informative, explains *why* you're choosing certain things - very useful. Thanks for posting.
I know this is a basic intro video and it's great. But one thing CZ owners should be aware of: sooner or later depending on the ammo you use you'll need to remove the extractor and clean it as well as the little spring, and the groove & hole it fits into. This area seems to attract the most crud, and little by little it builds underneath the extractor until you start getting failures. For our CZs, we do this after each 6,000 or so rounds fired. Also Shadow owners should take extra care not to get solvents on the front fiber optic sight. It will dull up the surface and force a fiber replacement.
Thanks! Ordering my first handgun which will be a CZ 75 BD. This video made the cleaning process far easier than I would have guessed. Enjoy your content!
I just got a shadow 2 Sa hope to get to the range fri. It will replace a beretta 92a1 with less than 500rd. which has been a major disappointment. With excess frame wear.
Thanks for a simple, quick, helpful video! The 75D is my first handgun and after struggling through a bunch of different sources on cleaning my rifle, I wasn't looking forward to figuring it out. This video made it easy.
+pukkepop Have you ever met a guy repented of having sold his beloved CZ and desperately looking to buy a good one? I'm not becoming one of those guys anytime soon! hehehe they'll bury me with mine, it's in my will.
cz 75 p-01 was the first gun i ever bought. it has been 12 years and thousands of rounds and it still runs like a top. love that gun. great video. thanks
I bought my first .40S&W ever in a CZ75B, now that the popularity is waning. Both the .40 S&W guns and .40 S&W surplus cop ammo is very abundant, and very cheap now. I got the CZ75B in .40S&W, and they are super nice guns. They feel great, shoot nice, shoot straight, and shoot nice small groups. The CZ75 is a DA/SA blend of the Sig P210, and a Browning Hi Power. The Sig P210 was probably the first autoloading pistol with the slide that wraps over the frame, and I can buy 6 or 8 or 10 or 12 CZ 75s for what 1 Sig P210 costs, now. I love the P210, but the CZ is just as nice, and it's double action, too. The Sphinx SDR series is a lot like a CZ too. The Sphinx SDR is another Swiss offering, until the USA made Sphinxes start hitting the market.........blech. I'll keep my Swiss Sphinx at home, and stick with shooting the Czech wonder 9s.
Started shooting a few years back,focusing mostly on clay sports,but thought I needed a good quality hand gun,got a Ruger SR22 just to get used to handling a semi auto pistol,then after much research,the CZ75 kept popping up as such a reliable,well made quality pistol,with some weight to it,bought a CZ85 Combat 9mm and its just a pleasure to shoot,built to a high standard,highly recommend CZ firearms in all there versions.
Just picked up a CZ-75 BD. Just al all around freaking awesome handgun. Considering changing the sights out (maybe) but what a sweet pistol to add to my collection.
I love to see a gun that is well used. It's a testament to the "NO BS" shooter! I'm going to purchase my first CZ (SP-01 Tactical Urban-Grey) this afternoon. Good quality video.
Had a P-07 Duty 9mm and it was a great gun but I sold it. Three months later I was depressed that I didn't have CZ's so I ended up with a 97B polycoat and a P-01, so now the addiction has been satisfied, gotta love CZ.
Thank you so much! Just cleaned my new Rami after having some sticking problems and shooting a couple hundred rounds to start breaking it in. It is/was getting better but curious now to see how she shoots. I got this one because I love the bigger brothers and uncles I have (CZ 75 series) and want to stay with the line with a little smaller double/single carry gun. All the best, Steve
I always enjoy your "How-To" disassembly, clean, & Lube videos. You've taught me quite a bit in the last few years, I used to slather the lubricants on but I pretty much follow the pointers that you, Nut'n, Hickok, & S00tch have demo'd over the years. Thanks!
I just picked up my first cz pistol thanks for all the great informational videos you put out. I’ve been a fan since 2013,From my first ar to my first ak your always there 👍🏻
Thanks for the great info, just picked up my CZ75 compact a couple of weeks ago and have shot about 50 rounds through it...your video was really helpful in how to field strip it so I can clean it well (and successfully put it back together)...cheers bruthuh!
The CZ75 is very Browning Hi Power inspired in build and the disassembly procedure, but the CZ 75 truly is the next generation of the Hi Power, only more highly evolved and very highly refined. CZ really got it right with their 1975 model. The new production offerings from Sphinx are very CZ inspired.
Sig (no JP Sauer involved, yet) developed a model P210 with the slide that wraps over the frame like the CZ75, back in the late 1940s, (released around 1952). With CZ you get the best of that P210, the best of the Hi Power, a little S&W & old CZ mixed in, plus it's DA/SA, or SA Omega trigger, or a DAO, in several sizes, with poly, or metal frames. They are all awesome, and they don't break the bank. The P210s are up in the $2200-$3000 range, or $5500-$6800 range for the two bbls & 2 slides packaged with 1 frame, now, and Hi Powers? I have no idea what Browning is even thinking. $1250?? The days of the Hi Power being the only game in town, for a wonder 9 went away by 1985. The CZ75 is but one of many contenders, now , and how many variants of the CZ75 are there now? 40 or 50? Now Sphinx decides to make a mass produced gun, and it just screams CZ75.
Right on time. I just picked up a CZ 75b-SA. I'm not new to guns but this is still a helpful video. I'm very familiar with Glock's and other stricker fired guns, not as much hammer fired guns. Cleaning the residue from my CZ isn't the problem. The thing is there's a lot more parts then say an XD. Knowing where I need to put a drop of oil is what I'm wondering. Sure I can ready the manual but I prefer to watch videos when possible.
I remember asking you if you could make one of these videos for the cz75 months ago and you replying you would see if you would have the time for it. Never did i actually believe you would do it, awesome job man. Thank you for your content! :)
A classic black CZ75B reminds me of a Porsche 911 or a Movado Museum watch. A timeless and classic design that is just as relevant today as it was in 1975.
You say those of us shooting thousands of rds probably aren't watching this vid. We'll I did and I do thousands and thousands of rds. I figure when I think I know it all is when I begin to fall behind. Thanks for your instructional vids. Keep em comin.
ANOTHER nice video! I have a 'pre-B' and it is sweet indeed. Pipe cleaners are really useful; you can bend them into all sorts of shapes to reach into odd spots, and the 'fuzz' picks up lots of crud but doesn't come off easily. I also like a Bore-Snake to clean the barrel.
When this gun came out it was in the communist block. When they started design of it they studied the designs of the west and adapted what they liked into the cz75. They did an excellent job of it.
Great video! Your CZ75 review was one of the reasons I chose a CZ75 SP-01 as my first gun. I can't wait to pick it up from the gun store! I will watch this video again while I give it the first cleaning, but beyond that, what do I need to do with a new gun? I heard about "breaking in" a new gun, and someone was even talking about how many "grains" the ammo should have for breaking in a new gun. This is obviously my first gun, and the guys at the gun store were either too cool, or just immediately exasperated with rookie questions or I'd have asked them. What an unpleasant way to spend $750! Haha. I was even going to buy a .22 rifle, but when I asked the guy why the bull barrel was more expensive than the regular barrel, he almost rolled his eyes. They started to go up. I could tell he wanted to. And when I asked another guy about the Ruger SR-556 Takedown, he said, "never heard of it." That freakin video was on repeat for the entire hour I was waiting for my turn at the counter! What an experience! Sorry this turned out to be such a long comment, and for these are stupid questions, but I think if I treat this gun well, I can trust my life to it and pass it on to my child. If I don't treat it well, not so much ;-). Thank you, and I love your Top 5 Guns Reviewed In 2015 video!
Very informative sir. Thank you very much. I especially appriciate how you actually Did the cleaning as you explain the process. Again, many thanks sir.
I normally wear Nitrile gloves (hate that oil on my hands). Denture brushes or Denttek pointed with bristles. Love those small oiler bottles, one for solvent one for oil, Amazon also has a great oiling pen.
Thank you! I'm loving my CZ 75b and this is a really good way to clean and lubricate it. Great gun, super easy breakdown, and this one cleans very well with CLP as discussed in the video.
You missed possibly the second most important oiling point. At the end of the DA trigger pull, the trigger bar is cammed down by a ramp on the bottom of the sear/ejector housing. A good trigger job will polish that ramp, but you can improve the trigger release in DA mode by lubing it as well. Unfortunately, since it's on the bottom, it's hard to reach without disassembling the gun. You can use an oiler bottle to apply a drop of lube on the very top back of the trigger bar. Decock the hammer to allow the trigger to come all the way forward and use the needle to put a drop on the top of the trigger bar to either side of the disconnecter. If you can't reach all the way, put it on the top of the bar a little farther forward, then tip the gun muzzle up a bit so the lube flows around the back.
I've only ever owned a CZ handgun...shot very few others, but I can't imagine wanting anything other than a CZ. Thanks for this vid! Good to see all of the review videos on UA-cam, but really nice to see something practical and useful!
I could trade most of my firearms but the CZ75s and the Russian AKs are never leaving, NEVER. P.S. on guns with lots of rail contact like the 75 I started using automotive axle grease to lube the rails and it holds on and stays lubed a whole lot longer than the light oils Ive used before. Stuff is cheap, made to handle high temps and dust, try it out.
+BigChiefWiggles V interesting. Have you noticed any failures to feed, to go into full-battery or to eject properly? I've only used grease when I know I'm not gonna use it in many months, as advised by some wacko instructor.
+xithappens Not at all, this grease is made for automotive axles and similar uses so it resists heat and dust very well and holds to the surface, you dont need much, just a thin layer on the rails where the sliding happens and only after the weapon is broken in, then after a day of shooting just wipe with a paper towel and reapply. You shouldnt use it on everything though, you just grease the few particular areas since thinner "light" oils just fly off or cook almost immediately there. This also has to do with weapon breakin procedures, most people oil the crap out of their new gun and go shooting it expecting it to be broken in afterwards, in reality most of the breakin is surfaces rubbing and polishing to each other and if you oil the gun this wont happen, when it goes dry it will still be rough. Basically, what Im saying is, to get it properly broken in run it completely dry for 500-800 rounds and just wipe it off when it starts to have feeding issues, then once that is done thats when you begin to oil/grease it, the surfaces will be properly mated to each-other and with the lube on them it will run smoooooth. On a sidenote: Geissele triggers come with a grease they want you to put on the sliding surfaces of the trigger and I have a sneaky suspicion its basically the same stuff just in a tiny tube.
BigChiefWiggles V Thx for the answer, but I don't know if i would be able to do that. I think that by breaking it in totally dry for almost a thousands rounds or until it starts malfunctioning, you could chip some metal away instead of smooth-polishing the contact surfaces. You need _some_ oil, imo- very little, but some. Having said that and after having broken-in my pistol already, maybe I'll try some expensive grease on those Taurus PT contact rails. They do look dry after shooting a while.
xithappens I have never had an issue with chipping anything doing it this way, generally what you will see is the coating get rubbed off in certain places, meaning there was a raised spot there that got polished down, the reality is that when using light oils, like you saw on your Taurus, they basically go dry after a hundred rounds or so anyway, and when powder residue gets in there they are riding on a layer of micro "sand" at that point and get broken in anyway, just much slower. Now, there is one caveat to this, and that is rapid fire, if you get the gun extremely hot when running it dry, some guns can seize up and cause an issue, but you shouldnt do that to a weapon you are breaking in anyway, also its not a great procedure to use on ARs. If you are worried you can wipe down the surfaces more often to get metal on metal contact with no dust and residue between them. But what I was trying to get at, is that using a heavy grease, because the grease holds on a lot better, will basically prevent it from getting broken in, so I only do it on weapons that are already broken in.
I like using an air hose connected to a compressor to blow my guns out before I start cleaning them. An old toothbrush works great on the breach face and hard to reach places too.
@@shannonandsheila1403 yea they do, but if you use them inside a climate controlled house it does mitigate the moisture. Baby wipes contain moisture as well and it’s what most soldiers wipe down their bolt carriers when in the field though.
I have not seen one negative comment about CZ under this video. I just picked up a used CZ-85 Combat in satin nickel, nice gun, but I've been having a lot of malfunctions. First time out, lots of stove-pipes. Brought it home and ordered a new extractor spring from Wolff. Second time out, lots of failure to go completely into battery. I just ordered a new Wolff recoil spring and new mag springs. Shooting Federal 115 gr FMJ brass from Walmart. Anything else you CZ experts might recommend? Gun is clean and I'm not limp-wristing. I like the pistol, but I'd like to shoot a hundred rounds without a malfunction.
Thanks for the reply. I put in a Wolff recoil spring last weekend, and it ran 100 rnds. of Winchester white box 115 gr. flawlessly. A couple of hiccups with my reloads, but that's OK.
Thanks for the video. My CZ 75DB's DeCocker got stuck after I shot 75 rounds during my testing. Luckly it stuck after the last round and was able to finish my test. How do I fix it? Thank you.
I just got my first CZ75 today. I got a barely used CZ75B for $525. It seems like it should be much more expensive than it is. I ran about 400 flawless rounds and picked up a set of VZ diamondback grips and 7 extra mags. I think this likely won't be my last CZ75.
Excellent video that is low-keyed and matter-of-fact the way I like it; I'm ocd on cleaning & lubing so maybe your video will give me a different perspective. good looking cz--around 1988?
great video I have the 75 P01 awesome gun. I have been using Remington spray lube with teflon and I find its easier to take the gun apart and the spray down the parts over a sink with the oil and basically rinse out all the build up. The oil dries up and then I use a thicker gun oil to lube the slides and mechanisms. Any thoughts on doing it this way?
I wipe off all carbon and maybe use some cleaner. I use a needle style applicator to put oil ONLY where there is metal moving against metal. This elimnates an oily gun, which I find annoying when shooting. oil gets hot and runs so I don't like to over do it.
New gun owner with a CZ 75B - watched a few "how to clean" vids to teach myself - yours is by far the best. Clear, informative, explains *why* you're choosing certain things - very useful. Thanks for posting.
Mrgunsngear is my go to for gun cleaning tutorials,simply the best and no nonsense
Agreed. Just shot my brand new CZ75B Omega and am really happy that this video is here. Very useful and easy! Keep up the good work,
Mrgunsngear.
I know this is a basic intro video and it's great. But one thing CZ owners should be aware of: sooner or later depending on the ammo you use you'll need to remove the extractor and clean it as well as the little spring, and the groove & hole it fits into. This area seems to attract the most crud, and little by little it builds underneath the extractor until you start getting failures. For our CZs, we do this after each 6,000 or so rounds fired. Also Shadow owners should take extra care not to get solvents on the front fiber optic sight. It will dull up the surface and force a fiber replacement.
Can you make a video regarding this issue and tag me please and thank you
CZ's rock. Great info Brother!
+sootch00 Agreed!
+Mrgunsngear Channel can you do a full in depth detailed strip of this firearm?
Mrgunsngear Channel can you provide that link to the bottles your where talking about?
I love ballistol but the bottle is huge
Türkiye,belgesiz satın almak istiyorum.@@Mrgunsngear
Thanks! Ordering my first handgun which will be a CZ 75 BD. This video made the cleaning process far easier than I would have guessed. Enjoy your content!
Love how you simplify and still cover all the bases in your instructional videos. Thanks
I just got my first CZ, it's a 75 compact PCR. It feels more natural in my hand than any other pistol I've owned or held.
I just got a shadow 2 Sa hope to get to the range fri. It will replace a beretta 92a1 with less than 500rd. which has been a major disappointment. With excess frame wear.
And it always will
Great video....I really like this guy's relaxed delivery. He is a really good teacher re guns and simplifies things very well for the novice.
Thank you
You truly have a gift, sir!
Thanks for a simple, quick, helpful video! The 75D is my first handgun and after struggling through a bunch of different sources on cleaning my rifle, I wasn't looking forward to figuring it out. This video made it easy.
Love my CZ 85 combat! All CZ 75 series pistols are fantastic and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
+pukkepop awesome. Agreed

This is a great video for anyone new to pistols. You did a great job
Just picked up my SP-01. Thank you kindly!
Love my cz's most underrated guns out there great videos keep em coming!
+O4 HEMI thanks
I don’t think they are underrated, most people know how good they are

Thanks for the help man, I just recently hopped on the CZ train and this is just the video I was looking for
Started shooting a few years back,focusing mostly on clay sports,but thought I needed a good quality hand gun,got a Ruger SR22 just to get used to handling a semi auto pistol,then after much research,the CZ75 kept popping up as such a reliable,well made quality pistol,with some weight to it,bought a CZ85 Combat 9mm and its just a pleasure to shoot,built to a high standard,highly recommend CZ firearms in all there versions.
hey.... ty!! just got a cz compact had no idea how to clean it. you video was thorough and easy to follow! ty man! you rock
Shot my SP01 for the first time today. Wore out the bullseye. Love it!!!! Thanks for the video, made cleaning the gun easier.
Nice vid, THX ! Greetings from Czech Republic !
CZ makes the best pistols
Shot my XD and my CZ today. Watched you cleaning videos just to be OCD. Very good videos! Thanks!
Just picked up a CZ-75 BD. Just al all around freaking awesome handgun. Considering changing the sights out (maybe) but what a sweet pistol to add to my collection.

I just picked up that exact gun today..
Planning to shoot on coming Sunday..
Love the look and everything..
I love to see a gun that is well used. It's a testament to the "NO BS" shooter! I'm going to purchase my first CZ (SP-01 Tactical Urban-Grey) this afternoon. Good quality video.

Was looking at buying this model and the full breakdown on how to clean was a wonderful help
Thank you
Just bought my 1st semi auto hand gun CZ PCR, Thank you for the tutorial, just ordered nylon picks and needle lube bottle. Live Free!

Still my go-to guide whenever I need a refresher on cleaning my P01 Omega or P10C. I don't shoot/clean often enough to remember
I was gonna leave another comment to this effect because I forgot I had made it already lol. Still good stuff
I love that gun. I didn't notice before but that's a pre B CZ75. Pretty cool stuff. Those are fairly rare
I remember asking you if you could make one of these videos for the cz75 months ago and you replying you would see if you would have the time for it. Never did i actually believe you would do it, awesome job man. Thank you for your content! :)

Late to the party, but just got a CZ75 compact. Thanks for the video!
The CZ 75 looks so much like a SIG P210 (SIG 49) from the inside out. Excellent video as always.
+Neptune Bluez indeed it does
When this gun came out it was in the communist block. When they started design of it they studied the designs of the west and adapted what they liked into the cz75. They did an excellent job of it.
Excellent demonstration on how to clean a pistol! Thanks. : )
I like a larger dry cloth, then lightly oiled cloth after all the rest, and after assembly. Thanks for your points, especially the pointed oiler !

All I used was Breakfree CLP until I found Slip 2000, great video as always.
Thanks again Mike! Informative video for the CZ75B Omega I just got!
You're welcome 👍🏽
Just purchased a CZ Custom SP01 Shadow. Nice video TY
+Steve Shadburn awesome
You missed possibly the second most important oiling point. At the end of the DA trigger pull, the trigger bar is cammed down by a ramp on the bottom of the sear/ejector housing. A good trigger job will polish that ramp, but you can improve the trigger release in DA mode by lubing it as well. Unfortunately, since it's on the bottom, it's hard to reach without disassembling the gun. You can use an oiler bottle to apply a drop of lube on the very top back of the trigger bar. Decock the hammer to allow the trigger to come all the way forward and use the needle to put a drop on the top of the trigger bar to either side of the disconnecter. If you can't reach all the way, put it on the top of the bar a little farther forward, then tip the gun muzzle up a bit so the lube flows around the back.
The case when one picture worth thousands words.
You have some great videos! I just started shooting and your videos really help. Thanks
+Ya Zniyou awesome; glad they help
Nicely done. I have a CZ compact and I picked up a few good tips.
+Tim Harlan thanks; glad to hear it.
These are real tack drivers... great video, thanks!
Bought ine yesterday for 250 euros, my first gun, great vid! What to look for when u buy a cz 75??
Nice quality video and instruction! CZ 75 P-01...love it.
I've only ever owned a CZ handgun...shot very few others, but I can't imagine wanting anything other than a CZ. Thanks for this vid! Good to see all of the review videos on UA-cam, but really nice to see something practical and useful!
I could trade most of my firearms but the CZ75s and the Russian AKs are never leaving, NEVER.
P.S. on guns with lots of rail contact like the 75 I started using automotive axle grease to lube the rails and it holds on and stays lubed a whole lot longer than the light oils Ive used before. Stuff is cheap, made to handle high temps and dust, try it out.
+BigChiefWiggles V thanks
+BigChiefWiggles V interesting. Have you noticed any failures to feed, to go into full-battery or to eject properly? I've only used grease when I know I'm not gonna use it in many months, as advised by some wacko instructor.
+xithappens Not at all, this grease is made for automotive axles and similar uses so it resists heat and dust very well and holds to the surface, you dont need much, just a thin layer on the rails where the sliding happens and only after the weapon is broken in, then after a day of shooting just wipe with a paper towel and reapply. You shouldnt use it on everything though, you just grease the few particular areas since thinner "light" oils just fly off or cook almost immediately there. This also has to do with weapon breakin procedures, most people oil the crap out of their new gun and go shooting it expecting it to be broken in afterwards, in reality most of the breakin is surfaces rubbing and polishing to each other and if you oil the gun this wont happen, when it goes dry it will still be rough. Basically, what Im saying is, to get it properly broken in run it completely dry for 500-800 rounds and just wipe it off when it starts to have feeding issues, then once that is done thats when you begin to oil/grease it, the surfaces will be properly mated to each-other and with the lube on them it will run smoooooth. On a sidenote: Geissele triggers come with a grease they want you to put on the sliding surfaces of the trigger and I have a sneaky suspicion its basically the same stuff just in a tiny tube.
BigChiefWiggles V Thx for the answer, but I don't know if i would be able to do that. I think that by breaking it in totally dry for almost a thousands rounds or until it starts malfunctioning, you could chip some metal away instead of smooth-polishing the contact surfaces. You need _some_ oil, imo- very little, but some.
Having said that and after having broken-in my pistol already, maybe I'll try some expensive grease on those Taurus PT contact rails. They do look dry after shooting a while.
xithappens
I have never had an issue with chipping anything doing it this way, generally what you will see is the coating get rubbed off in certain places, meaning there was a raised spot there that got polished down, the reality is that when using light oils, like you saw on your Taurus, they basically go dry after a hundred rounds or so anyway, and when powder residue gets in there they are riding on a layer of micro "sand" at that point and get broken in anyway, just much slower. Now, there is one caveat to this, and that is rapid fire, if you get the gun extremely hot when running it dry, some guns can seize up and cause an issue, but you shouldnt do that to a weapon you are breaking in anyway, also its not a great procedure to use on ARs. If you are worried you can wipe down the surfaces more often to get metal on metal contact with no dust and residue between them. But what I was trying to get at, is that using a heavy grease, because the grease holds on a lot better, will basically prevent it from getting broken in, so I only do it on weapons that are already broken in.
I like using an air hose connected to a compressor to blow my guns out before I start cleaning them. An old toothbrush works great on the breach face and hard to reach places too.
Careful compressors contain moisture
@@shannonandsheila1403 yea they do, but if you use them inside a climate controlled house it does mitigate the moisture. Baby wipes contain moisture as well and it’s what most soldiers wipe down their bolt carriers when in the field though.
great vid! just picked up my first cz
Thank you. You taught me how to clean my Beretta also.
You're welcome 👍🏽
Awesome video! Liked and subbed!
I have not seen one negative comment about CZ under this video. I just picked up a used CZ-85 Combat in satin nickel, nice gun, but I've been having a lot of malfunctions. First time out, lots of stove-pipes. Brought it home and ordered a new extractor spring from Wolff. Second time out, lots of failure to go completely into battery. I just ordered a new Wolff recoil spring and new mag springs. Shooting Federal 115 gr FMJ brass from Walmart. Anything else you CZ experts might recommend? Gun is clean and I'm not limp-wristing. I like the pistol, but I'd like to shoot a hundred rounds without a malfunction.
Thanks for the reply. I put in a Wolff recoil spring last weekend, and it ran 100 rnds. of Winchester white box 115 gr. flawlessly. A couple of hiccups with my reloads, but that's OK.
Just got one and will use this video..............thanks so much for the info
Im on board the CZ hype train
Thanks for the video. My CZ 75DB's DeCocker got stuck after I shot 75 rounds during my testing. Luckly it stuck after the last round and was able to finish my test. How do I fix it? Thank you.
great video not to many videos out there on cleaning a CZ. love my cz-po1
+Marc T thanks
Just got a CZ 75, thanks for the info!
You're welcome 👍🏽
I just got my first CZ75 today. I got a barely used CZ75B for $525. It seems like it should be much more expensive than it is. I ran about 400 flawless rounds and picked up a set of VZ diamondback grips and 7 extra mags. I think this likely won't be my last CZ75.
+Robert Smith awesome
bought my first handgun yesterday sp01 :)
thanks lot bro..i own a cz 75 spo1..cz really rocks!!
New owner. Good video. Thanks
Excellent video that is low-keyed and matter-of-fact the way I like it; I'm ocd on cleaning & lubing so maybe your video will give me a different perspective.
good looking cz--around 1988?
+Bill Pohlman thanks; 85 I think but not sure offhand
LOVE these cleaning videos of yours!!! Keep em up!
+David Faulkner thanks
love my cz, but cant find any holster for conceal carry, any ideas? thanks again for all you do!!
+Poorfarmer 123 you're welcome. amzn.to/1pPdjUL
Outstanding, simple well done
When you are done wiping everything down, what are you using to lube the specific points at the end? CLP in the needle bottle?
I’m a year late, but yes that’s clp at the end as well
great video I have the 75 P01 awesome gun. I have been using Remington spray lube with teflon and I find its easier to take the gun apart and the spray down the parts over a sink with the oil and basically rinse out all the build up. The oil dries up and then I use a thicker gun oil to lube the slides and mechanisms. Any thoughts on doing it this way?
thank you
I wipe off all carbon and maybe use some cleaner. I use a needle style applicator to put oil ONLY where there is metal moving against metal. This elimnates an oily gun, which I find annoying when shooting. oil gets hot and runs so I don't like to over do it.
I usually use way more clp in cleaning, is there any downside to that other than spending unnecessary money?
not really, no
Good info! I rather think of your CZ as being well loved, instead of well worn. Love my CZ's
+Bob Wampler indeed
