Reminds me of my Wilson CQB or my SIG X5 in the "smoothness" Department.

Decent trigger, both DA and especially SA. Good sights...EASY to shoot well. Surprisingly quick to get back on the sights after a shot. Easy to shoot fast..like steel challenge.

Good luck finding one. I searched for a month or so...finally lucked into one on GunBroker.

Are you a CZ Forum member?
Are you a member there? I'm on a Tanfoglio forum, never joined CZfirearms, but a nice place to lurk

I agree with the above post. Sweet shooting. Effortlessly accurate, etc.
But If your thumb gets to high the controls start messing with you.
The thin slide is not easy to rack as well.
Great shooter but not for everyone. Try before you buy.
Do you have big hands? Mine are average, son has a little smaller hand, I never heard that complaint... I have the Isreali variant of the CZ75, and an IFG Tanfoglio variant of the large frame 85, they both fit my hand well, but the 75 feels like it was made just for me. Now the slide does feel strange at first if you're used to racking big fat pigs like the Glock

The slide is thin and shallow, being internal rail, rather than external rail like everyone else. The (non adjustable) rear sight is designed for racking the slide one handed, can use the edge of a table, side of your belt, crease in your jeans, etc. etc.
I never noticed, other than the width and height, it being more difficult to rack than any other.... but it is a different feel. I noticed it the first few times shooting it, don't even notice anymore.
