TT Pistol

CZ-TT pistol, right side view

Type: Double Action
Calibers: 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum; .40S&W; .45ACP
Weight unloaded: 798 g (26.1 oz)
Length: 194 mm (7.63")
Barrel length: 96 mm (3.77")
Capacity: 15 rounds (9mm); 12 rounds (.40) or 10 rounds (.45)

The CZ-TT pistol is made in Czech republic by CZ Strojirna s.r.o. company, located in the city of Strakonice. This recently introduced pistol follows the pattern of the another famous Czech pistol, the CZ-75, but with the polymer frame instead of the original steel frame of CZ-75, and with modified locking system. CZ-TT also has a shorter barrel combined with full-size grip, which accommodates high capacity magazines. The CZ-TT is comfortable to carry and hold, with well-placed controls, and dimensionally suitable for both duty carry and concealed self-defense carry. Current pistols have relatively large slide serrations, suitable mostly for gloved hands, but I was told that the new production pistols will have more comfortable slide serrations.

The CZ-TT is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. The barrel is operated using a Browning cam system, and is locked to slide by single lug via large ejection port. Frame is made from high impact-resistant polymer. Double Action trigger system with exposed hammer has internal firing pin safety, as well as manual safety, mounted on the left side of the frame. Manual safety can lock the hammer either in cocked or uncocked position. A CZ-TTL version is similar to basic CZ-TT but features an integral accessory rail on the frame, under the barrel. Standard sight are fixed, with front sight being integral to the slide, and rear sight being dovetailed into the slide.

9mm pistol

Durable All-Steel CZ-75B: One Man’s Favorite Pistol by Jim Williamson
Roving Editor

In today’s world, there is no dearth of 9mm pistols. The market is virtually glutted with designs, some modern, some classic, some, well, unfortunate. One of the best is surely that of the big Uhersky Brod factory of Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ). Conceived by one or both of two brothers whose last name was Koucky, the gun appeared in 1975, being modified by early 1980 to extend the slide rails and receiver forward about 1-inch. This probably afforded added stability and longer life to the gun, and certainly improved the looks.

The CZ-75 is an evolved design, consisting of elements already present on other guns. But it blends those elements in such a way as to provide them in a format not previously achieved.

The long slide rails, with the slide riding within the receiver, comes from Petter’s M1935-A French service pistol and the resultant SIG-P-210, a legend in itself.

The added support given to the cycling slide is said to result in enhanced accuracy, and probably helps the gun to achieve its reputation of extraordinary durability. I’ve talked with knowledgeable people who say they’ve seen this model exceed 90,000 rounds of firing without major repair or replacement of major parts.

The double-action trigger for the first shot is usually attributed in successful form to Walther. If a first strike fails to fire the primer of a chambered cartridge, a second trigger pull will often fire it. Some modern autos do not re-set the mechanism if a first trigger pull fails, and the ability to just pull the trigger again is obvious. This can be a lifesaving feature!

Like early examples of the Beretta M-92 and the Taurus equivalent, the CZ-75, once cocked, can be safely carried in cocked-and-locked mode. (Hammer back and safety on.) The rub is that one has to use great care in lowering the hammer on a live round in the chamber. The same is true of the Colt Government Model, the Browning Hi-Power, and others. (The CZ-75BD does allow using a different safety to lower the hammer, but it doesn’t provide for the cocked-and-locked carry that some prefer.)

The nominally 16-shot magazine was surely inspired by the Browning Hi-Power, and is again available after the sunsetting of the “crime” law enacted through the vigor of President Clinton, no friend of gunowners. The majority of CZ-75s now in the US probably were sold with the 10-round magazines required from 1994 until the expiration of that odious law in 2004. Aftermarket replacement magazines by CZ and by Mec-Gar will fit these guns, but check with the manufacturer to be sure that your particular gun will accept the magazines that you want to buy.

Very minor changes in specs have evidently made some magazines a poor match for some guns, depending on just when they were made. I wouldn’t buy at a gun show, unless I knew precisely which spare mags fit my own gun. Also, most CZs not intended specifically for action match shooting have a “magazine brake” that keeps the magazine from dropping fully free. It will come out enough to be easily removed, but won’t drop out for a maximum speed reload. This bothers me only slightly more than the possibility that Donald Duck will be elected President.

In the real world, such “speed reloads” are not commonly needed, especially in a few occasions. But he did this with enough time that the “brake” on the CZ wouldn’t have mattered. (He was shooting at people, not “action match” targets.)

The grip frame of the CZ-75B seems to have been arrived at after carefully examining the old Remington M-51 auto or a Star pistol with similar handle shape. Several Star models, most obviously the Model S and Super S, have grips very like that on the old Remington .380, and the guns are a wonderful fit in most human hands.

This is a good place to address the rumor that Star, now defunct, had a hand in designing the CZ-75, and may have furnished castings to CZ for final machining and assembly. I frankly don’t know, but a CZ official told another American gun writer that there is nothing to this story. However, it is true that Star’s Model 28, 30, 30S, and M-31 models were designed by someone who had taken a good look at the CZ-75. I believe the steels are different, but both guns have a reputation for durability.

The CZ has also been copied by Tanfoglio (Italy), Jericho (Israel), and ITM (Switzerland). The British Sterling (no, not the submachinegun) was also inspired by the CZ. It seems never to have entered production, probably due to the passage of draconian UK handgun laws.
Grips

In any event, the grip of the CZ-75 feels terrific in most reasonably large hands. If it’s a bit too thick for an individual owner, Hogue’s (PO Box 1138, Dept. GWK, Paso Robles, CA 93447; phone: 800-438-4747; on-line: www.getgrip.com) wooden grips are thinner than CZ factory grips, and the Czech firm is about to offer their own thinner cocobolo stocks. CZ usually supplies plastic grip plates that are thinner than their rubber panels.

I obtained a set of their rubber ones, and found them difficult to fit on the gun, because one panel had the screw hole drilled at an angle! I enlarged the hole slightly with a slim screwdriver and got them on the gun, but prefer the slimmer plastic panels. Someone with a larger hand might prefer the rubber grips.

Early CZs had the area around the slide-grasping grooves “dished” or recessed. This improved the appearance, say some, and did contribute to a solid grip on the relatively small area of the slide available for the hand, as some of that area normally accessible on other autos is enclosed within the frame.

Newer examples have the slide grooves cut conventionally, with no recess, but the grooves are still the traditional style, with much more class than the crude appearance of most “modern” wondernines that too often look like something turned out in Germany in the Spring of 1945 as “volkssturm pistolen.” The CZ-75 looks like a quality traditional auto pistol, not something designed for cheap mass production.

Both “spur” and “round” hammers have been used. The spur type looks a bit crude to me, and I much prefer the present rounded form, very like that on the old Mauser C-96 or on the Colt Commander. This seems to be the only hammer now in production.

Don’t Polish!
The grip screws have Phillips head screws, but they can be turned by the small screwdriver on a Swiss Army knife. I did find the screws difficult to “locate” in the holes, and fastening them takes more effort than it should.

The CZ’s empty weight is 33.6 ounces, quite reasonable for an all-steel 9mm pistol. The gun’s legendary durability certainly makes that weight all the more tolerable.

It is important to mention that recent CZ chambers aren’t polished bright. In fact, their dull grayness as seen through the opening in the slide will encourage many to get out the Flitz or Simichrome polish and shine them up. Don’t! That appearance is the result of a heat treatment intended to harden that area and extend the life of the barrel.

Most CZ-75s on the US market have a baked-on Polycoat finish that is said to be much more durable than conventional bluing. It can chip, so be reasonably careful with it. It has a satin black look. Not as pretty as a good blue job, but is more practical for most real world use. If one doesn’t like the Polycoat, regular bluing and satin nickel are finish options.

I am delighted to say that I have just received confirmation from CZ-USA (PO Box 171073, Dept. GWK, Kansas City, KS 66117; phone: 800-955-4486; on-line: www.CZ-USA.com) that they have stocks of the new stainless version on hand, and that your dealer can order them at any time. It is wonderful to see a stainless gun of this type, for it is surely the most viable for a sidearm that sees daily use in the real world, in all sorts of weather. If a dealer tells you that the CZ-75 isn’t made in stainless, he’s either behind on the news, or is trying to sell you what he has in stock.

Single-Action Version
There is a single-action version of the gun for action pistol competition, if that’s what you need a 9mm for, and the CZ-85 offers ambidextrous controls. A CZ-85 Combat model lacks the magazine brake that keeps the magazine from dropping free on the standard gun, and some prefer that feature. In the real world, the need for a maximum speed reload is less likely than on the match circuit. It isn’t something that troubles me.

One should note that the design is available in .40 S&W caliber. The .40 hasn’t been noted for spectacular accuracy, but the CZ version does better than most in tests that I’ve read, and is certainly the gun I’d try if I wanted a .40.

In 9mm, the CZ is quite accurate, on par with the Browning Mk. III in my experience, and that is as good as service pistol accuracy gets! It is certainly capable of taking small game, and will hit a snake in the head at envenomation danger range.

Alas, few holsters are made specifically for the CZ-75B, and the best compromise I could find was in the used holster bin at a local shooting range. Made for the Beretta M-92, it’s a discontinued Galco style in the thumb-break Tom Threepersons mode. Someone should still make it. El Paso Saddlery (2025 E. Yandell, Dept. GWK, El Paso, TX 79903; phone: 915-544-2233; on-line: www.epsaddlery.com) tells me that they know the CZ well and can make any of their suitable designs for it.

Their work is superb, if slow on delivery, and I recommend them if they have something to your taste. In general, try styles from your preferred holster maker intended for the Beretta and see how your gun fits. Unless the CZ is adopted widely by law enforcement, I don’t think we’ll see many holsters made specifically for that gun. Now that CZ-USA has begun advertising in gun magazines, perhaps sales will increase to the point that more holsters will be made for it. I hope so!

There is a real need to build public awareness of the CZ line, which is at present known here mainly to enthusiasts. Joe Hunter and Susie Defender are just beginning to hear about the company and its fine products.

Reliability of the gun is high. My own has never jammed, and competition shooter Angus Hobdell tells me that he’s fired over 50,000 rounds through one gun with high confidence in it. He also doesn’t see the need for aftermarket springs, as some gun forums on the Net infer are often needed. That can happen, as Czech springs in general aren’t as consistent as American ones, but he told me that the issue has been much exaggerated.

My own gun has worked fine, with several brands of US ammo. I don’t bother with cheap foreign brands. Federal’s American Eagle and the Winchester “white box” work for me, and are as cheap as I care to chance using in any of my guns! My usual load is Remington’s 115-grain JHP, which I can buy in 100-packs when I’m lucky, for a real savings. In one test I saw, it clocked at 1,189 fps from a CZ-75, and is very accurate. It feeds flawlessly. Federal’s Classic 115-grain JHP is also extremely accurate, having a well established reputation in that regard.

A Briton, now living in the US, told me that he was privy to the knowledge that when the SAS tested handguns prior to adopting the SIG P-226 and P-228, their trials “control gun” was a CZ-75, which did as well as the SIG entries. It was supposedly not adopted for political and supply reasons. (At that time, the Czech Republic had just emerged from the Communist Czech years and was entering new nationhood, and wasn’t as reliable an ally as was Germany.)

A factor in the high reliability of the CZ-75B is surely that the factory runs the guns on a machine that cycles the actions several hundred times in an oil bath. This wears off any small burrs of the sort that have to be “shot out” of most competitive new auto pistols, during a “wearing-in” process. Thus, the CZ tends to be more reliable “out of the box.” Neither I nor a brother who owns a gun identical to my CZ-75B has had any reliability issues, right from the first magazine through each gun.

Some Internet posts suggest that dry-firing will quickly break CZ firing pins. I asked the CZ-USA marketing man and Hobdell, who uses the guns so heavily in matches. Neither thinks the issue is as bad as a few posts have led consumers to believe, and I understand that some owners have dry-fired thousands of times without problems. Nonetheless, I use the snap caps supplied or just once-fired brass when dry-firing.

Overall, the CZ-75B impresses me as being the best centerfire auto pistol on the market, if a service type 9mm is wanted. Frankly, I prefer it to the vaunted M-1911, having had cracked safeties and loose plunger tubes on the Colt. It is all-steel, not light alloy or “plastic,” and I value that construction. I like the way the gun lies solidly in the hand, I like the way it points, and I like that it hits where I aim and doesn’t jam.

It is priced well below most of its peers, and is now offered in stainless steel construction. The Czech Republic sends us many of the world’s most beautiful supermodels, like Veronica Varekova, Danielle Pestova, and Petra Nemcova. Their beer and their guns are pretty good, too!

Light Compact Pistol is the ultimate BACK-UP or DEEP COVER gun!

Little guns seldom make big news, but the Ruger LCP .380 ACP changed the rules. Many wondered what direction Ruger would move after they entered the polymer-frame handgun arena with their 2007 introduction of the striker-fired SR9 9mm. That question was answered during 2008 with the introduction of the ultra-compact LCP (Light Compact Pistol) .380 ACP. A true “watch fob” pistol that can slip comfortably into even the tightest pocket, yet is
chambered for the .380 ACP, it was an instant hit.

ruger21The LCP .380 ACP is a recoil-operated, locked breech semi-auto, using a tilting barrel (no barrel bushing) design. Built on a glass-filled nylon composite frame, it features an aluminum sub-frame inner grip frame, hardened steel slide and a 2.75-inch steel barrel. The resulting pistol weighs in at 9.4 ounces empty, measures 5.16 inches in overall length, 3.6 inches in height, and is a scant 0.82 of an inch wide.

Magazine capacity is six (one magazine supplied, with additional magazines available) and is of a drop-free design. The magazine release button is located in the approved American-style, left side behind and below the triggerguard, and is quick and positive to use.

The slide does not lock back on an empty magazine after the last round, but it can be manually locked back via a slide lock lever on the upper left side. If the slide is locked back and a loaded magazine inserted, the slide lock lever can be used to send the slide forward and chamber a round. But retracting the slide slightly to the rear and releasing it is a quicker and more positive way to charge the pistol from slide lock.

Hard-hitting .300 WIN MAG FIREPOWER at 1000 yards and beyond!

It seems the overwhelming majority of tactical rifles available on today’s market are chambered in 7.62×51mm (.308), and it’s easy to understand why. The fact that it’s a NATO round generally means it’s readily available around the world and theoretically, one of the most accessible calibers here in the States. It is also a cartridge that has been carried in the US military’s logistical system for over 50 years, and since it’s adoption as the military’s primary sniping cartridge in the Vietnam War, the 7.62×51mm has reigned supreme in the tactical world.

However, I frequently find myself questioning the almost fanatical devotion to the 7.62mm as a sniping cartridge when there are many other cartridges better suited to the task of long range shooting. There are cartridges with higher ballistic coefficients, cartridges with higher muzzle velocities and, sometimes, there are commonly available cartridges that have both. One such cartridge is the .300 Win Mag, now chambered by the good people at Kimber in their Model 8400 Police Tactical.

kimber-8400-2Bullet Drop Analysis
The Model 8400 Police Tactical rifle from Kimber is new for 2009, and their decision to chamber the rifle in the .300 Win Mag is significant as it offers Law Enforcement professionals a tactical rifle that shoots flatter and hits harder than its 7.62mm brother. For example, the standard load for the military’s sniping round (M118LR) is a 175-grain Sierra MatchKing with a listed BC (ballistic coefficient) of .505. The common load for a .300 Win Mag is Sierra’s 190-grain MatchKing with a listed BC of .533. While the BC increase might not sound like much of an advantage, the bullet with the .533 BC drops 10.2 inches less at 1000 yards when fired at the same velocity. My issued M40XB rifle fires M118LR ammunition at 2716 fps (feet per second), whereas CorBon’s load for the .300 Win Mag lists a muzzle velocity of 2900 fps. When we look at the .300 Win Mag’s higher BC and higher muzzle velocity we find that it drops around 53 inches less at 1000 yards than the standard M118LR in 7.62mm.

Ultimate Rapid Assault/Primary Tactical Rifle — the perfect AR PACKAGE!

Good ideas often start in the strangest places, like the middle of a ground blind amongst a swarm of hungry mosquitoes at a Texas hog hunt. That’s where Evin Galbraith of DPMS and Travis Noteboom of Crimson Trace decided that the smoke from a good cigar was preferable to donating blood to the ravaging mosquitoes. And with the inspiration of that cigar, they also decided that a pre-accessorized AR-style rifle was a pretty good idea.

dpms2The AR-15 and its variants are without a doubt the most frequently and heavily accessorized rifles in the world today. Even a casual look through a few catalogs or search on the Internet will yield a plethora of available accessories that you can use to trick out your rifle. For experienced shooters who know what they like, it’s like the proverbial “kid in a candy store.” However, for shooters new to the AR platform and law enforcement agencies searching for a functional “one-size-fits-all” patrol rifle, the wide selection of aftermarket accessories can be confusing if not downright overwhelming. As those of us with boxes full of accessories that didn’t quite work can tell you, trial and error can be an expensive way of figuring out what you really want on your black gun.

Thanks to Evin, Travis (and the mosquitoes) there is a solution to this dilemma: the DPMS RAPTR (Rapid Assault/Primary Tactical Rifle)—a “pre-accessorized” AR that provides everything you really need in a black rifle and nothing you don’t.

After defining the basic concept of the RAPTR, Evin and Travis approached some of their colleagues in the tactical industry to get their insights into the accessories that made the most sense and were most in demand by savvy shooters. With the help of Dave Biggers of XS Sights, Jason Harmon of ERGO/Falcon Industries, and Julie Knuth of US Peacekeepers, they methodically developed the ideal “turnkey” black-rifle package based on three primary objectives: meeting the needs of the law enforcement community for an out-of-the-box patrol rifle, providing a pre-accessorized solution for the commercial customer, and making the resulting package affordable for everyone. Based on the sample rifle that I reviewed, the RAPTR satisfies all these requirements exceptionally well.
