The stopped coming with the extra barrels. Your friend must have received one that was built before they stopped. The barrels are 250.00 each now and you have to order them from CZ Czech as CZ U.S.A does not have any.

Mine actually cracked where the slidestop goes through the barrel but my friend's cracked at the barrel lugs which is something I have seen reported a few times on the internet. The TS barrel is not the same. The Czechmate barrel is longer and threaded. The barrels and supporting hardware are not typically available in North America so it is a long wait to get stuff from CZ Czech.

I just wanted to get some feedback on CZ Czechmate reliability? I have one and the barrel cracked at a low round count (approx. 10K). I a friend of mine also has one and experienced the same issue. There is not a lot of information about these pistols as the number sold is very small compared to other guns. I heard that early versions suffered from barrel issues which is why CZ supplied multiples from the factory. Later versions (like mine) did not come with the extra barrels. Parts are very hard to get for them and many have to come from CZ Czech directly. The gun itself has one of the best factory triggers out there and shoots wonderfully. However I am beginning to have my doubts about sticking to this platform for competition given the track records I have seen. What have other people experienced?
