You guys have helped me a lot in the past so here is where I am at. Been looking at this or one off of GB. Everything I have seen seems good; lefty friendly, made by kebab removers and not kebab, very well liked by everyone who has used them. Only thing I am worried about is finding spare parts down the road and more mags.
If I didn't get this it was going to be either a Jericho or a Sig P320/250.
Also pistol bread.

How is $400 considered cheap?
>>29696935
Given that its meant to be a "clone" of a Sig P226, I'd say its pretty cheap.
>2016
>Not removing kebab
CZ 99/EZ 40s are pretty good guns. they dont have a decocker however, but they do have a better slide stop than the Sig series.
>>29696822
>$400
Literally save $80 more and wait for topgunsupply to bring in more 9mm p226 trade ins
Save for a pistol you'll enjoy instead of buying a shit one that will either be unenjoyable to shoot or just plain shitty. You get what you pay for.

I love my cz999 but it was only about $280 a year ago when I purchased it which is a much better deal. Those wood grips are hot seks though
>>29697620
By the way OP, the gun shoots better than most $400 handguns for sure, the 999 at least. Just saying I'd call SOG and see if they'll be getting new shipments in anytime soon. I believe the 40 version of the 999 is still available for cheap from them
>>29697582
Literally none of the guns you posted are fully ambi
>>29697430
The slide release doubles as a decocker...at least on the CZ99
>>29697620
>>29697659
Thanks for the tips anons...not sure why I never even considered SOG....err I actually like the plastic grips desu. Also if you see this where'd you find it for $280? GB?
for real looks like a sig but except sigs dont look like shit.
>>29700606
here's your (you)
>>29700568
Ok, I was $9 off but here you go
http://www.southernohiogun.com/zastava-cz999-police-pistol-9mm-compact.html
I got myself mixed up too, it is still in stock as you'll see but they only have the compact (which is the version I own and I don't believe anyone has the full size in stock nor has for a while. It is a half inch difference in barrel length). I was over on a Zastava fan club and I believe these are the CZ999 Scorpion model rather than the standard CZ999 (not a bad thing but a couple slight differences that escape me) and you can read more on all of that and anything else about the gun here:
http://www.cz99.org/index.php?page=cz999
Now, there are a couple things to be aware of. The slide pull is stiffer than shit to the point that I have to cock the hammer before pulling back and even then it isn't that easy. The mags are stiff as shit too. This is stuff that should obviously get better with use but I'm about 500 rounds in and still find it to be a bit much. Mine also has an issue with the takedown lever not being useable when the firearm is slide-caught so I have to pull the slide back a bit further in order to engage it which is no easy feat; I managed to tear my leg up pretty bad getting it caught in the slide my first time figuring it all out (and this is not my first handgun). Hopefully yours won't have that issue, I don't believe it to be a common one. Lower grain ammo (115 to be exact) also has trouble activating the slide catch to hold it back after a dump, I also don't believe this is a common problem but more likely a defect in mine and is about 50/50. Other than the bit of bad though I love the thing. I haven't had a single issue with it as far as going bang after 500 rounds, the thing feels great in my hands and looks goddamn beautiful. I'd highly recommend it brother, good luck on making your decision
>>29700568
Oh, also wanted to add that on the CZ999 (possibly scorpion) does use the slide-release/de-cocker setup and it works great
>>29700568
And one last time bugging you, I took a look at the differences between cz999 and cz999 scorpion, the guns are the same but we lose the neat action mode selector the CZ999 had which allowed the gun to stay in double action. Mine was purchased from SOG and is clearly listed as a CZ999 on the site as well as on the gun itself but it is in fact a scorpion model
>>29701090
>>29701113
>>29701146
lol didn't annoy me in the slightest. You helped me a lot. Now if I can ask you one last question. Where you you find mags for these? Literally can't find them anywhere.
>>29701329
http://www.cz99.org/index.php?page=magazines&language=english
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5MihsijigA
They pop up on gunbroker and elsewhere sometimes but the youtube link will show you how to convert other popular mags, I don't believe any mainstream store sells them outright though and getting any replacement parts might be difficult as well but I haven't had to look yet
>>29701520
Yea...I've seen that vid. Hoped it wouldn't have to come to that.
>>29696822
I don't know enough about European pistols to help with the rest, but for God's sake, if you end up buying a Sig, get the P320 and not the P250. The P250 was an experiment and they fucked it up, and I say that as an ardent 24/7 Sigfag. The P320 is a great weapon, though.
Hello OP, I know a bit about these guns if you have any questions
>>29703844
You, I like you.
Had a CZ999. It was an alright handgun, only complaints were heavy slide and lack of safety.
Sold it and bought an M&P 9.
>mfw I own a CZ99 and want wooden grips for it
mmmmm
>>29704168
If I get that you wanna trade grips?
>shits all over every pistol itt
>>29703844
But in all seriousness where you find spare parts/mags for them?
>>29704449
>spare parts
Century, just say you bought the gun yesterday and it just isnt working. But on a side note I havent had any parts fail as the result of regular shooting, they are built rather heavy
>mags
CDNN stocks them frequently and aim gets them sometimes. You can modify beretta 92 magazines if you want as well.
>>29704463
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=554219455
What about this. Looks good but is missing screws on the grips. Was just curious about just usual wear and tear items though like springs, barrel, and stuff like that. Still its good to know that yours are all working fine.
Also thanks on the mag into...I just dont wanna take a dremel to a Beretta mag lol
>>29704786
>What about this. Looks good but is missing screws on the grips.
That is a 99 not a 999, I have no idea but with that level of rust you are going to see issues inside the slide like a rusty 226 with rollpin issues.
>Was just curious about just usual wear and tear items though like springs, barrel, and stuff like that.
Recoil springs can be substituted for a 226 recoil spring with a coil or two cut down. Barrel is pretty hard wont be going anywhere. Most of the other springs are really beefy.
>.I just dont wanna take a dremel to a Beretta mag lol
Most of the time CZ99/999 mags are around $20 a pop, the dremel job is really retard proof and will let you build out extended mags
>>29704946
>>29704786
Also your gunbroker link is an israeli police trade in so thats salt water and sweat rust.
>>29696935
welcome to firearms
>>29704946
Seriously thanks for the info anon. I think I'll hold off from that guy on GB, most...all of them seem to have rust. Also really good to know about the recoil spring and barrel. Finally forgot that I could rig a 20rnd mag for this then.
>>29704958
It say on the page its Israeli trade in? Or you just know a lot about them? Genuinely curious not being a troll.
>>29700568

I bought a cz99 from that guy, came in great and shoot good. but my barrel was rated as excellent.
>>29705164
when you buy it? Was kicking myself because a really nice one sold on Tuesday
>>29705088
>It say on the page its Israeli trade in? Or you just know a lot about them? Genuinely curious not being a troll.
Spotting israeli trade ins is pretty easy
>Beretta 84s, CZ99s,hipowers, cz70s, cz75s
>lots of surface rust
>Yellow paint on the side of the slide
t. Pro gunbroker lurker
Another thing of note, CZ99/999/EZ9 pistols are a little rough finish wise. Nothing that effects function but dont expect a HK product
>Pic related, CZ999 slide of mine
>>29705219
Going to just dump 999 pics now
>>29705243
Loaded chamber indicator on a CZ999. Tiny but can be easily felt in the dark
If anyone ITT would like CZ999 to other handgun size comparisons feel free to ask
>>29705261
Takedown is pretty straight foward
>>29705277
You can see some rough machining inside the slide here. But for $280 I cant complain
>>29705292
Shit photo but one issue with the CZ999 is that it is extremely thick. I have friends with manlet hands who cannot hold it easily. The gun is far thicker than a 226.
>>29705219
Thanks for the tips again anon.
The finish doesn't bother me. Cerakote is always an option down the road.
Also to me yours look fine.
>>29705243
>Going to just dump 999 pics now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQRW0RM4V0k
>>29705325
Another note, while it does look similar donot try to put sig parts on a CZ999. I had to hammer a west german 226 slide off .
>>29705368
>The finish doesn't bother me. Cerakote is always an option down the road.
The 999 finish from the most recent batches are really kind of shitty. Its almost a paint on setup and you can easily wear it off/strip it with cleaners
>>29705407
Forgot pic
I recently purchased a mint daewoo for 320usd
>>29705420
More advise.
You can take the grips off and the slide off (barrel and recoil spring as well) but donot try to detail strip it or try to remove the takedown lever. You will have a bad time, there are a lot of springs that lock into eachother and result in a complex system. Donot dry fire it with the grips off, a spring will come loose and stab you in your hand.
>>29705192
like in january
>>29705443
Here is a CZ999 compare to a G17, Armscor 206, Model 10, J25, P64, hipower and USP compact. As you can see it is pretty big.
>>29705472
Pardon the shitty OC for the thread
Left to right:
>CZ999
>Hipower
>G17
As you can see the cz999 is sort of fat and lacks thumb swells for manlet hands. It is also nearly the same height as a glock17 with a magpul g17 mag in it. It is not a carry gun.
This concludes the CZ999 photo dump

>>29705124
Ruger sr9 is a solid, reliable, 9mm. Can get it for about $350-$400 USD.
>>29696822
This faggot has no idea what he's talking about.
>>29707768
You're talking to the same person. My dad has an SR40 they're ok for what they are, but I don't like em.
This thread.
a 1911 style is just too damn pretty to not consider. The extra money is totally worth it.
All I have are these hand me downs that are 65 years old now (no idea about the ruger 22 though) at this point and it still has never failed a single shot save for some old ass ammo that got mixed on accident.
Sure it's chanbered in 38 super which isn't all that popular and it has very low profile shots but it's the easiest, best grouping handgun I have ever fired. I don't know most people's experience in 38 super but I find it considerably better than .40SW or 9mm.
I think they are new $800-$1000.
>>29705472
>>29705563
That Hi-Power makes me the dick
Tell me about it anon, teach me its ways
>>29707768
Also you said American not SR9
Just a little advice, if you want a CZ99/999/EZ9, try to find an early production CZ99. If you don't mind the lack of rails, it's the best version you can get.
>>29696822
OP, as someone from Serbia who's knows a thing or two about these pistols, the one from the ad is probably going to be the best version of these pistols you can find.
The QC and quality of materials used on those 1990-1995 export models of CZ99 was the absolute best.
>>29696822
Zastava makes damn fine handguns, it's a purchase you won't regret.
So glad to see some Zastava fans show up. Live long and remove kebab brothers
>>29709280
Hey Serbro, do you know what's going on with their new handgun? Saw a concept and it looked like a USP knockoff but it was a pretty old picture and I haven't heard any new news
>>29709642
Eh, something is in the works but knowing how the management of Zastava Arms operates, it's either going to completely abandoned because "why would we build something new when the old shit is still selling", or it may come to market very late in the game. I've heard only good things about the PPZ prototype although they got some issues to iron out (trigger group needs tweaking since it has too much slack the way it was in 2013, etc)
Truth be told, I wouldn't hold my breath too much although you never know what they're going to do.
The previous prototype, the Top XX was also considered to be first class pistol since it was developed by a bunch of dudes who were deeply involved with competition shooting, along with some spec ops guys etc. Yet Zastava dropped the ball on that one as well.
>>29710041
Here's a pic for those who don't know what it looks like.
>>29710041
Cool, thanks for the info brother
>>29710129
No problem bro, I just wish Zastava would actually get off their asses and invest some in their marketing department. They could be making a killing on US market alone if only they had the right people in the management, and not some party drones with zero brain cells.

Ok here is a scenario for you...Well two actually:
1.) What if something happens to your right hand and you are never able to use it properly again? Such as an accident or it needs to be amputated. Now what? You have an entire collection of guns only suitable for a right handed person to use and you are now forced to use your left hand.
2.)What if while in a defensive situation your right hand/arm becomes injured? Stabbing, gun shot, etc. Again. Now what? You throw your empty gun at your remaining assailants or assailant?
You know this is probably why there have been so many left handed leaders, were capable of thinking further ahead than you common rabble.

>>29713190
I've always wanted a CZ, their full sizes are hideous in my opinion but their little mak/ppk style pistols are beautiful. They had one for ~$260 at a local pawn shop in .32 but I couldn't justify buying something in that caliber as I'd have no use for it. Not to mention it had some weird purple slide
>>29713396
>I already have one kid anon, I don't have room for another
