CZ-85 9mm Czech Police 1992 VG 1 Mag CZ85 CZ model 85 Ceska Zbrojovka

HG6240 From the early days of a free Czech Republic, here is a specimen of Czech gunsmithy’s finest, best known product, the CZ-85 pistol. Czech engineers took John M. Browning’s 1935 Hi-Power design, strengthened it, and developed a smooth and accurate masterpiece in double action. This specimen of the CZ-85 comes from the Municipal Police of Ostrava, Czech Republic, where these pistols protected a flourishing population in their industrious city. Year code is stamped above the extractor, 1992. The CZ-85 is a traditional double- and single action auto with a main safety that allows cocked-and-locked carry. This pistol does not have a firing pin block or safety, so its single action trigger pull is crisper than most. The .227 wide serrated spur hammer has a half cock position for safety-off double action carry. Slide is serrated rear for easy operation; and its 4.7 inch barrel with double cam slide lock matches its Browning ancestor. Chrome finished smooth face .315 combat trigger yields a smooth, consistent double action trigger pull of 7/8 inch distance; single action trigger travel measures about 1/3 inch with minimal felt creep. Trigger pull is in the 4 pound vicinity on single action. Sights are stake-on serrated ramp front with dovetailed, well rear fixed sight. Construction is entirely steel, with CZ’s highly durable Poly-Coat semi-gloss black finish. Grips are issue CZ logo black polymer. Ease of disassembly and reassembly exceeds all other pistols on the market even today, with hash marks on the disassembly position for easy removal of the slide stop / barrel link pin; disassembly yields grip frame, barrel, guide rod and spring. Weight empty is 35 ounces. Surface detractions on this 85 are only moderate, edge whitening and moderate contact surface wear to the grip frame backstrap and moderate toning to the white steel barrel surface, as the photos show. We classify it as Very Good, 80 percent vicinity; photos should suffice for our distinguished shoppers to determine finish grade for themselves. Left side of slide is marked with the importer’s stamp, PW Arms Redmond WA, as required by US Law; and then the CZ logo and Model 85 cal. 9 Para, with Made in Czechoslovakia on the left side of the frame. This fine pistol has been well maintained by its Ostrava officer and armorers; and it is excellent mechanically; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. The CZ-85 will digest any ammunition, from lead bullet reloads to steel case Russian to the finest Federal Hydra-Shok sharp-nosed hollowpoints. That is something one cannot say about competitors Glock and HK, to name a couple. Another strong suite is that its slide mates precisely to the frame, full steel-rail-to-steel-rail contact, not with a slide resting on four small runners like its Austrian competitor. This is a real pistol, not a piece of plastic. This pistol comes with an original issue steel 15 shot magazine and comes in one of the original factory issue boxes.
